Hi, all! Well, today is Wednesday which means challenge. But first let me reveal the winner of last week's challenge: Melissa (rsdawg97). Congrats Melissa. Unfortunately I do not have an email address for you. I'm going to look for you in the forums, but if you see this message please send me an email and I'll get you your prize links. Here is Melissa's layout:

This week's challenge will be hosted by another one of my Creative Team Members, Jennifer Kellems. Some of you may already know her from the great brag books that she has made using some of my kits. They are on sale at the ScrapMatters Store now. So for this weeks challenge she has decided on a Movie Quote Challenge. How fun is that. I know that there are a lot of movie lovers out there and those famous movie lines. You can do so much with this. The winner of this week's blog challenge will receive a free download of my MakeOver Grab Bag which is now available at the store. This grab bag contains six new, never before seen products and is work over $20. You may even start seeing sneak peaks in the gallery this week from layouts using items found in this grab bag.

So if you're interested in participating in this great challenge head right on over to Jennifer's Blog, located here.

Okay, blog challenge also means blog freebie. For this week's freebie a few of my creative team members completed some quick pages for you using my Go Fly A Kite Kit. Two of these quick pages were completed by Len Escobar who has made up the quick pages for sale at the store.

Don't forget to leave me a comment here on my blog, not my 4shared account. Leaving a comment here puts you into a drawing to win a special gift. This week's gift is a $5.00 coupon to my store at ScrapMatters. It is valid for my products only. Also, please, if you are leaving me a comment leave me an email address or at least your user name in the ScrapMatters or DST forum so that I can contact you to give you your prize. I don't want to rule out those who have not left me a means of contacting them. Last week was difficult for me since all the winners did not leave an email address. I was only able to contact two of last week's winners. Most likely I will reassign those other two prizes this week. So leave me a comment and a means to contact you. And don't forget to thank my wonderful CT for providing this great freebie for you.

Usually I would end this posting here, but I've realized that so much has happened these last couple of weeks and I haven't told you guys about any of it. It's been crazy around here. Well, my children started back at school last week. This was Jayda's first year. She started Kindergarten. She took it so well, I expected tears and all, but got none of it. She walked into her classroom and told me good-bye. Then got irritated with me while I was trying to take her picture. Her very first day of school has most definitely got to be documented. Tevin did great, but he's a big boy now. We've gone through a lot this summer and we're hoping for him to have a better year at school. Only time will tell.

I watched a lot of tv. Joshua won So You Think You Can Dance, Yay!!! I just loved him. It was actually a surprise for me. I expected Will to win, but he got eliminated earlier. He wasn't my favorite dancer, but I felt that he was the most trained. But this just makes the fact that my favorite dancer did win all the sweeter. I loved Katie as well and actually thought she would be second place, but that was not right either. Anyway, she did win her something and they will all be on tour together. Such fun.

The Olympics began. I actually didn't expect to watch the opening ceremonies, but I was flipping through the channels at my mother's house and was just amazed by the drum show and couldn't change the channel. I sat with my mom and watched the entire thing. It was so long, but absolutely amazing.

Okay, now for the greatest news. I became an aunt for the second time yesterday. My sister had her second little boy early yesterday morning. I found this out from my mom who woke me up early yesterday morning to tell me. My sister already sent us some pictures so expect some layouts later. My mom left yesterday afternoon to spend the next week or so with my sister in Florida. I have been left in charge of taking care of my dad, mainly make sure he eats everyday. We'll see how that goes.

We'll that has been my last couple of weeks in a nutshell. You guys enjoy the rest of your week. I'll be back on Friday to let you know who my comment winners are.
