My debut newsletter went out last night. If you didn’t get it, you can click over there on the left to sign up and get the next one! The newsletter has info about all my new stores, new products, and has freebies in it too that you might be able to find somewhere else… and you might not! Eventually, I will have special offers just for newsletter subscribers so you should check it out. My plan is to send it out a couple of times a month when I have something really important to share.

SumScrapper (over there on the left) is having their Grand Opening celebration RIGHT NOW through May 1st. Everything in the store is 45% off. We’ve got freebies for new people who register in the store. We’ve got a couple of challenges going on in the forums. We’re ready for you to fill up our gallery. Come play with us!

My stores at Divine Digital and Digital Paper Hearts are also open so go check those out too.

My plan is to get a lot done this week on some new kits because next weekend, my dad and his amazing wife, Nell, are coming to visit. My dad is an artist (he’s over there in my blog roll, see Ralph Parker) and they will have a booth at the Historic Heights First Saturday Arts Market. We are really glad they are coming to town and I’m looking forward to a few hours wandering through this cool market full of art as well as vintage goodies, antiques, all kinds of stuff.

Isabella also has a piano recital on Saturday afternoon, a special ceremony Sunday morning at religious school, and her Lemonade Day stand on Sunday afternoon. Lemonade Day is sponsored by Prepared4Life and teaches kids about starting a business, and making money. Isabella is very excited and has been working hard on her budget, marketing flyers, and other ideas. Scott made her a stand and they are painting it while I write this. At least they better be, ha!

So have a great afternoon and enjoy your weekend!
