I'm a blog slacker...

What can I say!??!??! There is just no excuse for it... I have just been slacking.... Hmm - Sorry?!?!?! That is probably the best I can do!

No really - I have been swamped! I mean SWAMPED! There have been some HUGE changes over at the Beloved Keepsakes Boutique! If you haven't already you should drop over there and check them out!

In addition to the changes going on over there - there is some MAJOR exciting news coming up soon - all focused around the Boutique (don't you just love that word??!!!) I can't wait to share it with you -but for right now I have to keep it hushed hushed!!!

And then - the star orders are starting to come in! I have found that I really like making these stars! I wish you could see them in person - the photos just DO NOT do them justice! As a matter of fact - Here are three reviews I have gotten so far about the Custom Made Photo Star....

1) Beautiful! Am considering ordering several more for gifts.

2) I just received my "We Honor our Hero" NAVY 15 inch photo star and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Lori did such an awesome job and I just ordered 2 more of them as Christmas gifts. I will cherish this star forever! Thanks Lori- Sue

3) OMG, I just received my star today and I will tell you there are no word to describe how beautiful it is. I love it so much and it means a lot to me. I am placing an order for another one just like mine to give to my sister as a Christmas gift. The pictures do not do this product justice.

Wow - those comments just make my heart soar!! Thanks guys!!!

Lets see - what else is going on.... Don't forget that ALL my files are 35% off today and tomorrow at Paperthreads!!! In honor of the bosses birthday! And I tell you what- to sweeten the deal - if you can produce to me a receipt (via email) that you purchases at least four of MY files (and only my files) during the sale this weekend (which started yesterday the 3rd and goes through the 5th) I will give you my new "Swirly Doos" file! This file isn't even up in the store yet!!! So you can actually get it before anyone else does!!!

To claim your "Swirly Doos" file - email me at lori_mcdnld@yahoo.com your receipt from Paperthreads showing that you purchased at LEAST FOUR of MY (Beloved Keepsakes) files - and I will mail this set to you for FREE!!!! What a DEAL!!!

Other than that - hubby is out on business again today - things are getting really hot and heavy on the preparing to deploy front.... so I am heading to the movies and dinner with my friend -but first I think I am going to treat myself to a stop at Office Depot to look at paper cutters there (NO I still haven't decided on a cutter!! Shessh!!!) and then I think I will take a trip over to Michaels! I still have NO clue that to make my friends and family for Christmas!!!

So..... Don't miss the sale today and tomorrow - and get me your receipts!! And if you haven't already checked out the New and Improved "Beloved Keepsakes Boutique" and the Photo Stars - please do - I would love to hear your comments!

Until Next Time!

I am so sorry for yesterdays cut short post - but man oh man did we have a storm. We ended up with an inch of rain -along with thunder and lighting!!!! Which is a really good thing - my grass actually only looks half way dead now instead of totally dead!!! LOL

So today I want to finish up what I was saying yesterday! My Air Force winner did not claim her prize - so I drew a new name to win the Air Force Photo Star - Katrina Parks - you are my new winner - please email me!!!

I have gotten all the other winners stars completed and thought I would do a show and tell for you! If you are interested in purchasing a Custom Made Photo Star - they are up in the Beloved Keepsakes Boutique. So check them out!!!

Here is the 15" Wall Hanging (I made this one as a gift for my step children's great grandmother)....


Here is the 15" Army star -


The 15" Navy star -



The 15" Coast Guard Star -




And then the 15" Marine Star -

In addition to the wall hangings - I am also making and selling the 6" Christmas tree Ornaments as well - here is an example of one.....

Coming or going?!?!?!

Do you have those days where you don't know if you are coming or going??? Man - I swear to you - I don't have those days - I have those months... and sometimes (like lately) they seems to be months on end!!!!

First up - I have a little housekeeping to take care of..... if you will recall - a few weeks ago I ran a contest for all Military Wife's/Girlfriends/Mothers/Sisters..... and during that contest I chose five winners to have a custom made photo star made for each of them......

Well - One of my winners didn't ever reply - so after much debate and discussion with my other half (aka my hubby) we decided to call another winner!!! Sooooo........


KATRINA PARKS


YOU WON!!!!


Please email me at lori_mcdnld@yahoo.com and I will send you the instructions to complete the contest and seal in your prize!!!!

Oopppsss..... hey guys - we just entered a serve thunder storm warning - and it is thundering and lighting - so I have to close for now.....


Man it is so bad - Direct TV lost its signal - got to run!!!

As for the rest of you....

Until Next Time!

I promise....

I am not a slacker!!! I took my dear friend Susan to her pre-op appointment today in Augusta GA (which is about 3 hours from my house) - and I had to get up at 4 AM this morning!!!

I am use to going to bed at 4 AM - not getting up..... I have lots to share - but it will have to wait until tomorrow I am afraid!!! I can barely remember my name at the moment!

I am soooo sorry!!!

Until Next Time!
