Beginning again!

wow! It has been sooo long since I have blogged. So many things have happened.
...But life goes on and I have decided to restart blogging. There are soo many things I want to share,
and soo little time lol.
guess I will start with scrapbooking.... I love scrapbooking! My hubby asked me last night while I was doing my daily downloads from Gotta pixel, gingerscraps, divine digitals (sadly they are closing their doors feb. 28, 2013), scrapping fairytales, & pixel scrapper. ... how many scrap stuff do you really need? It all looks the same too me.... HAHAHA, ahh husbands. lol No honey they are all different and I need them ALL, I said .

In the post most of the layouts I have done is for disney stuff. The challenges at MOUSESCRAPPERS seem to get my butt in gear and get layouts done. I just completed the speed scrap marathon on the weekend of the 18th

I finished all of them! I was so proud of myself. For those of you that have never participated in one, this is how it is done. You get 7 instructions on how to do your layout... one instruction every 10 minutes . Then you have to have the layout done within a predetermined set of time and posted in the right gallery... and of course leave love!
Here's my layouts...

Okay these are not in order as this is a new blogger setup I can't figure it out right now.. must investigate! lol But as you can see I was busy and having fun! you can go to my gallery here to see the credits for these awesome kits I used .

Now I forgot to mention that these speed scraps each came with participation prizes if the requirements were made (following the directions and posting on time). These ladies are just awesome and extremely generous!  here's what was offered...

Pretty great right? Well it wasn't over yet. Because I completed the whole marathon I  received the gold for you grab bag... it was around 500 mb of  Disney goodness! There was also a posting love game ...
Get into the gallery . The gallery is over-flowing with awesome pages. For this game I want you to head over to the gallery and leave some meaningful comments for your fellow scrappers.
The amazing Wendy from Neverland Scraps is offering a fabulous incentive for you to get into the gallery. She is donating the following:
75 - 100 comments, you'll receive a $2.00 coupon from her store
250 - 349 comments, you'll receive a $4.00 coupon from her store
over 350 comments, you'll receive a $6.00 coupon from her store
The computer will keep track of your comments... You need to post your starting number in this thread and come back at the end and post your final number.

Guess how much love I posted.....  my posts were 163 starting... ending count 565!!!!! thats a total of 402 comments!!!!
Wanna know what I got with my amazing coupon?
