Yes, I know I've been an extremely horrible blogger, but I'm going to try to get back on track this month!

I've had a busy week preparing for the Retail Recovery Crop over at SSZ. The forum and gallery are really hopping so drop by if you have a chance. Sandy is also doing one of her legendary 'Give Back' challenges. All you have to do is create a layout or card with hearts and for every creation she is donating $5 to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. What a terrific cause to support!

The DT team has been hard at work thinking of challenges to go with the retail theme. You can see them all here.

My challenges correspond with the stores Eddie Bauer and Home Depot. For the Eddie Bauer challenge, all you have to do is incorporate a name into your layout.


The Home Depot challenge is all about creating a challenge based on renovations or new home projects you have done or would like to do.


I sure hope you can join us sometime this weekend. I'll be back tomorrow with the February Jenni Bowlin kit reveal. I loved working with this one - what's not to love about Jenni Bowlin...everything in the kit is just scrumptious!!
