I used Templates No. 5 for all of these pages.  (If you like them use the free blog template for the challenge and whip a page up for yourself!  Then show me what you made!

Home School P.E.

Some time after Christmas break last year I took an entirely new approach to our home schooling.  I think I had been way OCD with the schedules and lessons, and none of us were really enjoying it.  That made me kind of sad, I had been excited to home school the kids because I had missed them a lot while I was in school teh year before.  So I wanted to just have more fun and quality time with them while they were at home.  So I went with a totally new approach and we ended up having one or two days off each week to just have fun.  So our P.E. classes became “go and do” kind of classes!  It was loads more fun than I had even imagined!

And we were able to help at their house with the garden, flower beds, bringing in some meals, things like that.  Even though we only made it on one camping trip,  I think the kids enjoyed the time over at the grandparents’ home enough that summer wasn’t totally weird for them.

I didn’t get a lot of designing done, as you can tell.  And the blog didn’t get updated like I had planned. So I am sorry for that.  I am trying to get some new routines in now that my kids are all back in school.  It *crossing my fingers* will be nice to have a “normal” school year.  After going back to college full time and then needing to home school my son, then adding my youngest daughter to home schooling last year, I am ready for “normal”!

So, that brings me to updating the blog.  I will be back in a little bit to show you my latest.  I have new templates, a challenge in the PDW forums (you can win a gift certificate just by participating-woot!), and a blog freebie!  So stay tuned!

No. 10, Get the Extras and Clusters FREE! http://www.digiapedesigns.com/blog/finally-no-10-get-the-extras-and-clusters-free http://www.digiapedesigns.com/blog/finally-no-10-get-the-extras-and-clusters-free#comments Sat, 23 Jul 2011 14:43:44 +0000 admin http://www.digiapedesigns.com/blog/?p=275 Continue reading →]]> No10

New Release! No. 10!

Just $2 this week at my store or at Plain Digital Wrapper!

This kit is all about summer, and it is HUGE!!!

Seriously, there are 3 Alphas, 18 papers and over 120 elements!

I have noticed, and been disappointed in the trend of much smaller kits since my return to designing.  I don’t feel like following the trend. *wink* So, I just kept adding what I felt like I wanted in a kit for my own pictures, and it just became GINORMOUS!

And then, I felt like I needed more boyish feeling elements so I added more, and then I decided to just make some clusters!

So, the good news is that if you purchase No. 10 from MY store for JUST $2, you will also receive the downloads for the CLUSTERS and EXTRAS for FREE!!!! This offer is only good through July 31st!

(Simply add No. 10 to your cart, and then add then when you add the extras and clusters they will be FREE!)

You will love how it can work for both boys or girls, and you can showcase your photos from any age group!  It is versatile, fresh and lots of fun! I designed it as I was snapping pictures of our summer activities. So there are a lot of summer related elements that work for beach, amusement park, water park, playground and other activities!
No10ElemThese are the elements in the kit. Not all are pictured, but most. I had so much fun creating these! I tried really hard to make sure there were boy and girls options (I have an almost teen boy, so I know how hard it is to find elements for them!)

No10Papers
There are 18 papers in this kit! You can purchase them in the kit or separately.
No10Extras
These are extras I made as I was scrapping and wishing for just this “one” other element. This is a separate add-on pack you can grab.
No10Clusters
This cluster pack is a separate add-on. I was having a lot of fun making clusters for my layouts, and figured I may as well make a little pack of them!

No10PinkAlpha

This is one of the three alphas I made for the kit! You can purchase it in the kit or separately.

And here are the other two:

Last time I mentioned that I will be starting some challenges on my blog and there will be free products for those who participate! So watch for that to start soon! Subscribing to my blog will be the best way to stay up to the minute on that. ;) I have had to start later than I planned due to my mom’s car accident. All of my “free” (as in I do not HAVE to be somewhere else) time has been spent over at her house taking care of her and her yard and gardens. But, I think that situation is getting under control with the family all taking shifts. So I am hoping to make some templates in the next week or so and get the party started!

I hope your week is SUPER FUN, full of family and friends and lots of memories shared or created!

]]> http://www.digiapedesigns.com/blog/finally-no-10-get-the-extras-and-clusters-free/feed 0 My new release will be next week http://www.digiapedesigns.com/blog/my-new-release-will-be-next-week http://www.digiapedesigns.com/blog/my-new-release-will-be-next-week#comments Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:16:05 +0000 admin http://www.digiapedesigns.com/blog/?p=266 Continue reading →]]> My mom was in a bad accident Wednesday, There is a neck plate injury, I think it is a broken(?) c2 vertebrae, which is above 4 other vertebrae that were fused a couple of years ago from another accident, her right hand had a compound fracture and they did surgery last night on that to put metal “bridges” in (that I don’t think were necessary, but they won’t actually talk to her before they do anything, they are just milking this for everything they can), and an ankle fracture that also had surgery to install some fabulous hardware. We still haven’t heard from the spinal guy three days later.  I am getting so mad at this hospital.  I swear, they are understaffed and have no manners.  Patients aren’t people they are bank accounts.

It is truly a miracle she is even alive. The guy that caused the accident took off and they never found him. Her car was plowed off the road and she hit a ramp sort of retaining wall that rocketed her car into the air, and it landed front end first, about 30 feet away, then that launched her another 20 feet or so where she landed on the back end of the car, and then it rolled/slid another 30 feet or so up an embankment. I can not believe she isn’t more damaged. And after the car stopped she smelled gas, panicked and climbed out of the car to get away. She is one wild woman.  We still aren’t sure where she was in the car when it stopped. She thought the dashboard was in front of her, but my brother had the number of the first guy on the scene to help and he said when he got to the car she was climbing out a back window.

I would be really grateful for the prayers in her behalf, I know they are heard. She is in so much pain, they are saying three months flat on her back is what she is headed for at home (which may kill her faster than any other injury could). We don’t know when they will release her, they can’t cast her ankle or hand due to swelling. But she is going to go so crazy laying flat, please pray she heals faster!

And with that, I will be MIA for a little while so we can make sure she isn’t alone at the hospital and then I don’t know what we’ll do when she is at home. I kinda feel like a crazy lady.  I have a kit that is almost ready to be released, I was just finishing up a fun add-on pack for it when this happened.  I wish I could take this computer to the hospital and work on it while I sit there.  So, hopefully I can release it next week.  But I will give you a peek at it and some pics of what is left of my mom’s car.

Wear your seat belts and be safe!  Thank you!

Something wonky happened to the coding in one of my software files, and so I just disabled that for now.  The developer is looking into it for me for a real fix.  Whatever it was doing was corrupting the links and causing all sorts of havoc in there.

So, I have it fixed, and I will work on getting the download links reset for everyone (which may take me a little while).  But you can go try again in your account history or if you have the e-mail with the links.

I promise there was no virus issue (I had someone tell me they thought it was), but no, it wasn’t.  I know exactly what it is, I just don’t know enough about coding to fix it. :)   I’d rather create stuff… hahahaha

Okay, thanks for all of your patience!  When I reset the link you may get an email, I really don’t know.  So if you do, or if you don’t, don’t panic!

Here’s to my Dad!!!

And now I have a another man in my life… my hubby!  Where would I be without him?  It’s really hard to say, I don’t know at which point I would give up and throw in the towel. :)   So here is a thank you to him for all the work he does, whether I acknowledge it out loud or not, it is known and appreciated.  Thank you for all the leaky toilets silenced, the lawn that you can mow five times faster than I can, the string trimming I am too short to do properly, the oil changes I know how to do but don’t have to, the tires that have never been so bald I’ve ever had to use my tire changing skills, for all of the ‘weird’ noises I hear in the car engine that you inspect, for ignoring me when I get really involved in a project and want to finish it, and for all the millions of other things I am not thinking of.  Thank you!  But most of all, thank you for being a good dad and a great example to our kids.  They love and respect you and that only happens by their choice, which says a lot about you.

I love you, Joe!

I am back in design mode! It feels like I’ve been gone for ages. I am happy to say I got straight A’s this semester, and that made me so happy! School is hard as an adult in adding to the busy days with kids, but on the other hand, grades seem to be easier. That must come with maturing a bit?!
