I hope you March has started off in a good way for you!

We were blessed with a new grandson on February 19, and had the opportunity to go out and spend a week with him (and his family.) So this month started off with me enjoying some Baby Cuddles and Snuggles. 🙂

Ok, so here is what is happening in March at Memory Mosaic…

I will post all the kits that are either live now in the store, or that will be coming, so you can have a “sneak peek” at what is coming this month. I will put the date each kit goes live. Remember that all my new kits go live on a Friday, and are marked at 50% OFF, Friday through Monday, of the new release.

Baby’s First Year

Went live on Friday, March 5, and because it is a MyMemories March Exclusive, it will be marked 50% OFF, through Thrusday, March 11.

On Friday, March 12, I have two smaller kits going live. These coordinate beautifully with my Baby’s First Year.

There is Baby’s First Year (Boy)

There is Baby’s First Year (Girl)

On March 19th, my 3rd in the Series, Scrap Your Stories, will be released. This month, “Scrap Your Stories (On My Own)” focuses on the 18-24 year olds… Leaving home for the first time. Going to college, your first job, your first apartment. It too, will be marked at 50% OFF, March 19-22.

On March 26, I will release a 10 page Photo Album template at my MyMemories store. This template was made using this month’s Scrap Your Stories kit.

Also on March 26, I will be releasing this delightful Easter Kit, “Happy Easter”. This is fun kit, perfect for scrapping all those delightful Easter Photos you will have. You will also be able to find it in the store, marked at 50% OFF on March 26.

And there you have Memory Mosaic’s March Line-up! I’ll be back later in the month for some more fun news. 🙂

Hope you are all doing well.  My kids and grandkids are back in school.  Our family is starting to finally settle into a routine.   We are enjoying the end of summer, and looking forward to fall.  I will be getting my fall decorations out soon,  to change things up a bit at the house.

Last month, I added two new kits, “An August Love” and “Knights and Damsels”.  I didn’t get my “Knights and Damsels collection” added until the end of the month, so I just thought I would highlight both of last month’s kit, along with a BRAND NEW kit for September. 🙂

Hi Everyone!   I hope you had a wonderful week-end!   The weather here in Tennessee has been beautiful.  I have enjoyed sitting on my deck a little and watching the birds.  We have so many different types of birds!

I am super excited about some new things in the works with Memory Mosaic!  One thing I plan to do is post a “Blog Freebie” once a month, for you to grab.  I have also started a FaceBook Fan group and you will be able to interact and share layouts, etc.  I am super excited about this.  I hope you will come over and join the group.  You can find it HERE.  There will also be FREEBIES on that page that only members will have access to, along with a lot of other fun stuff!

There is also a Newsletter Sign-up form on this blog.  Our Newsletter will go out the first week-end in June!  You are NOT going to want to miss this one.  There will be a special gift in there, JUST for our NEWLETTER subscribers and I will not be offering it anywhere else! 

This month, my Blog FREEBIE is “All Stitched Up” Mini kit.  It has 4, 12×12 inch digital backgrounds, and 10 elements.  You can grab it HERE through May 30.   ENJOY!

Lots has been going on in our life here in Tennessee.  I had the opportunity to visit one of my daughters and her family in Florida over Spring Break.  I had such a wonderful time, re-connecting with old friends, and spending some Mother-Daughter time, and then of course getting in some of those “Nana snuggles”, movies and games with the grand kids!!  

This last week, the weather here has been beautiful!  I think Spring is finally coming to the plateau.  I just uploaded my new combo pack, “Vintage Spring”.  I am pretty happy with how it came out.  I learned to make marble and silk textured papers, and I have used both of these in this new kit.  Here is a preview…  

 

 Vintage Spring, should be in the store soon!!   

It is hard to believe that February is just around the corner.  Our family is doing well, and settling into this life that God is opening up for us.  There are still a lot of unknowns, but we are so thankful for his love and provision for us.

I started the new year, realizing that I needed to make some time to take care of myself.  So far to that end, my husband and I have joined a local gym, and I have also been taking time out to get back into designing.  I am really excited about the new kits that I have in the store, or coming out this month.  I have already highlighted 3 of them on my blog, “Burlap and Lace“, “Burlap and Lace Winter Combo“, and “Yesteryear“…  I’m going to let you see the 3 Brand NEW kits, that are processing, to go live in the store in the next week to 10 days.   I have really enjoyed working on all 3 of them!

First I have a new “Add on” combo for Burlap and Lace.  It is “Burlap and Lace Valentine Pack” & should be live later this week.

Hi Scrapbooking Friends!

It is starting to look like Fall around here, with our yard filling up with leaves, and lot of pumpkin and scarecrow decorations around the neighborhood.  The temperature here in Tennessee, still doesn’t feel like Fall, as we have had really warm weather lately, but I think that will be changing soon.

In August we moved into our new house, (well new to us! 😉) I have been busy getting settled, and trying to help our family feel at home here.  We are so thankful for all that God has done for us in providing this place for our family.  We also have been able to get both of our dogs here from Ecuador, which was quite a miracle in itself.

Along with all of that, at the end of August we celebrated my Dad’s 80th Birthday.  This was a special time, I had been planning with my Mom for almost 2 years.  I am thankful that I was able to carry out many of the plans we had talked about.  It was bitter sweet, as it was the last thing I had been planning with her, so once it was done, it was like another chapter had ended.

Scrapbooking has had to take a back seat as I walked through all of these things.  I am excited to get things going again, and am hoping to have several new kits ready in the very near future.  Our family is on “Fall Break” right now, so I have taken some extra time, to get some sales and other things lined up for the rest of October through December.  Hope you will come back in the coming weeks, to see what is happening here at Memory Mosaic!

Here are a few photos to give you a glimpse into my world. 😊

This is a photo taken of my Sweetie, my Dad and myself, celebrating our anniversary.  It would have been my Mom and Dad’s 59th, and my Hubby and I were celebrating our 36th.

This was taken the day we closed on our house. 😊

Here we are with our whole family plus a dear family Friend, the day we celebrated my Dad’s 80th Birthday.  It was wonderful to have our 3 older daughters, and our 12 grandkids here!!

And since our grandkids were all together, we decided we couldn’t let the opportunity pass to get a photo with Nana, Papa and all the kiddos… (I will admit that the photo shoot was pretty crazy, but it was fun, and we did get some great photos, thanks to one of my very talented daughters!!)

Here is a photo of the latest addition to our family… Odin, arrived last Sunday!  We were all so excited to have him back with us!!

Hope you enjoyed the photos.  I will be back in a few days with some Scrapbooking updates.

Blessings,
Joy
