New Blog Designs

I know - I have been a really bad blogger and I never uploaded new recipes when I promised I would. But I have been busy!!!!!!

On March 21st, I hosted (yes I - no one else) a bridal shower for my dear friend Melissa. But since all the guests live almost an hour north of me, my SIL was generous enough to allow me to host it at her home in Plano. Although it was fabulous to have it there, it was a pain getting everything packed up! I had to get the food, the flowers, the drinks, the serving pieces, the plates, napkins, the gift...you name it - I had to pack it!

Then last weekend we had a Sunday School garage sale to benefit the Mansfield Young Life summer camp! Praise the Lord we made our goal of $2000 to help send kids to camp. After the garage sale, Ethan came to play at Grabbie's house while everyone else was at the school for Spring Fling.

Life is just simply crazy right now with baseball, but there is an end in sight...and Monday is opening day of the Texas Rangers and it is tradition that we go....all 100 or so of us!!!! Literally, tickets were bought in September for this day - it is one of those events that people plan their schedules around. We will literally start tailgating by 10 am! This is a great day filled with friends and fellowship! Last year was the first year that I had not been since Brant and I started dating (its his tradition) because I had to work...but this year I made SURE I had the day off! I am really looking forward to it!

But, I leave you with a few new designs I have completed recently! Thanks to everyone who took advantage of the Spring Break Special! I had a great time designing for you!!!!

Spring Break Special

I'm posting for the first time in over a month - please don't fall out of your chairs! HA!

But in all seriousness, I have just been busy! Work, Brant and baseball, watching sister's kids, planning vacations, planning baby showers, planning wedding showers, preparing for the wedding I'm in coming in June, spending good quality time with friends, working out and losing weight, preparing for Bible study, creating blog designs and cards...and so much more! Yes, life has been hectic, but it has also been good.

My cooking has slacked a bit mainly because baseball season at DBU started, meaning I am pretty much a widow for most of the spring. Brant is usually gone 2-3 nights during the week, then usually all day on Saturdays. And when I say "all day" - the man is out of the house by 7 am and gets home around 9 pm! But I do try to go to the games, even if it is just taking him lunch! However, I do still have a few recipes to post for you - watch for them coming soon (and by soon, I mean within a week...not a month).But for the fun news, Great Grabbie Designs is having a Spring Break Special. From now until March 20th, blog designs are the following:

Basic Blog Design - $10

Deluxe Blog Design - $15

Professional Blog Design - $25

***** ON ALL CARDS *****

Fonts and font colors are customized to your liking.
Cards are designs only! Once your design is finished and approved, I will email you the picture file and you can upload and print it at your local convenient store! It is simple and easy. This can ensure that you order the number that you want, and can print more if necessary.

******CARD DESIGN POLICY******

A "design" sheet will be sent to each customer requesting a custom design that will include all information to be contained on the card. I will design a template, then send a draft to you via email. I will allow each customer to markup the design one time, then I will alter the design to your liking.
Once pleased with the design, I will then release the design to you and you are then free to print and do with the file as you wish.
