Local?

So if you are a local friend and are interested in learning more about Copic markers I will be teaching Copic fun as part of Club Copic! This is a local club that will meet monthly to collect a full set of 36 Copic markers over one year and to learn all about how to use them during that year! To find out more visit That Scrappy Girl and get all the nitty gritty details! The first meeting is in only 2 weeks! I am so excited!

More challenges

This layout is from Sassy Lil Sketches it if the one from the 7th of the month. (I am a little behind) I wont finish them all this time but it is still fun to play along!


This one is the card sketch from the 14th! it is a 12x12 layout and the photo with extra buttons is on the way but not here yet. It is a group shot from my Vegas adventure.

Keep watching, more to come!
Hugs to all

Challenge for Icopic

I am quickly getting this one up to get in on the fun at Icopic! The current challenge was yellow, orange, and brown. Fall for sure! The weather here is obliging well as we cool down in Iowa. I will post more tomorrow about my fabulous weekend with friends and family and also lots of new pages to share!

A doodle, doodle, doodle

I have been busy doodling, not that that is unusual but doing art that is centered around doodling. As always time consuming but oh so rewarding! At Get It Scrapped my Oodles of Doodles has gone self paced which means you can down load all 6 lessons in one ginormous book and work at your own pace over the material.

I also have been invited to teach a Doodle class live at a Southeast Community College in Lincoln, Nebraska. I am excited for both and created all of these pieces for the advertising department there. If you are in the area and are interested i will post more details as we get closer.


Girls are crazy busy at this point with swimming, dance, diving and girl scouts all in full swing and hey lets start throwing in a trip once a month. He He it is all good but it is a lot. Dad and I are counting on some sleep in days on the weekend. And I think the girls will be ready as well. Allergy season is still going crazy here so I am going on two weeks of little to no sleep, hopefully the end is in sight but I have heard no rumors of such. Guess it is what I get for moving to a community surrounded by farms that are in the heat of harvest season!

Hugs all!

Copic Colors

The latest color challenge over at ICopic is red pink and white. I have to say the more I do this the more I love it! I am having so much fun coloring! I am also busy prepping my Copic class for the Get It Scrapped web site and doing lots of doodling for a live class in February. Life is busy and great!

Girls are busy with school, swim and dance at this point and Sara has added diving for a few weeks on top of that. Much fun is being had by all!

Last sketch for August

So I will be honest I threw this one together! BUT I do like how it turned out. Thanks Sassy Lil Sketches for the easy breezy sketch! My life has gotten crazy, with good stuff yes, but crazy! I was accepted to take the intermediate Copic Certification class (which to me is a big deal) I have been asked to teach a doodling class at a community college and Locally teach at a monthly kit club. To top it off I think I have been offered a position site unseen at two local Micheal's stores if I want it. I am VERY unsure on the Micheal's so i am not jumping in yet but it is always amazing the rain/pour effect of life!

The girls are GREAT! School is great dance started this week and that is great, life is just so good. This is where John and I always look at each other and say hope we are not being so blessed and being prepped for a big downward swing. We feel beyond loved these days.

John and I are both getting lots of riding in yesterday I rode 20 miles with him and he rode 40 more. Monday I rode 40 by myself Woo Hoo me!
