Ok, first off before I start my post, I wanted to post an ad that I thought I already posted but apparently didn’t   I must’ve closed it after previewing the post because the draft is just sitting here all lonely.  I wanted to let you all know that Kim B. is having a HUGE sale this week.  Here’s the graphic ad that will ‘splain it all nice and purdy for you:

This is at both Digiscrap Obsession and Digi ScrapVAult.

I feel terrible for that happening, hopefully you still have enough time to go tear apart her store LOL.  I know I always do, I always have been and always will be a huge fan of Kim’s!

So… what else is going on?!  I feel a ramble coming on because I haven’t posted a real blabber post in forever!  I was thinking earlier about all the stuff that’s happened since my last chatty post and couldn’t believe how long it’s been.  We’ve been through losing Izzy’s first tooth, to Izzy starting Kindergarten, then Izzy losing his second tooth, Izzy turning 6… which I’m still in denial about!  So many things, and that’s just Izzy!  A lot I’ve overlooked on purpose… I get like that when I get down or stressed out about things in real life outside of our fun little digi scrap world.  I forget that I need to keep looking at the positive sometimes and I just let it eat me alive.  I also have anxiety issues and when the sad and high strung Nett get together… they tie the silly Nett up and hide her away until she can break free again.  Hopefully that’s over with for a bit, or at least hopefully I’ve learned to work through a bit of it so I can find the silly again.  The last few days… yeah I’ve had a whole lot of it hanging out with me LOL.  It always starts with sleep deprivation, which happens to me a lot because I don’t sleep well EVER.  Even if I try to, I’m a major insomniac and get about 2 or 3 hours a night.  So starting with the slippers and jammies the other day the giggles started in me   We got him a new pair, kinda like a grandpa would wear… which is perfect for a guy like him LOL.  They didn’t really have any fun kids slippers that would fit him, I didn’t realize that once you hit 6 you didn’t get fun stuff anymore   He loved them though, because they came with a few new pairs of Spongebob pajamas.  Reagan wasn’t too happy with that, anything Spongebob is HERS and only HERS!!  She’s a freak for him still.  She calls him “Bob Bob Bobby” LOL it’s hilarious.  Well she calmed down once she saw that they had “Cars” slippers at Wal Mart.  She had to have them, man I love her… such a tomboy   They’re adorable slippers too, I took a pic of her in them to show you… but I can’t find where it ended up.  O-well.  So since I had the good mood moving in, I decided it was finally time to get our Christmas video made… last year I bought one of the Jib Jab Elf Yourself videos, as you all probably remember LOL.  It was a huge hit so I had another go with it.  I didn’t finish it until tonight, I had to find a better pic of Reagan because she apparently hated the first one I did.  She just sat and SCREAMED at the top of her lungs through it.  Now she seems happy, and they make me play it non stop.  Have a peek at it if you’d like, I can never get enough of Izzy’s ears… I keep joking saying that his ears were made for me to do this LOL.

That one is always my favorite, love seeing Mark disco LOL. They had a couple new ones this year, but I fought for the disco. The kids both wanted one where we all sang Christmas songs, but meh. I wasn’t feeling it. I’m not sure if it was the video itself, or just that I couldn’t understand what we were supposed to be singing. Every time I played it Izzy would laugh so loud, he’s all you could hear. So eventually I got annoyed with it LOL. I should give it another chance… Ok, here I’ll watch it again and let you see it too.

Nah, it’s still annoying me… it’s funny but it’s no disco

So I did get some sleep that night by the way.  When I did I had the most redonkulous dream too.  I’m thinking it gave me inspiration and maybe now there’s big things in store for Disasterpiece Studios!  I don’t know what my issue was because it’s only happened to a few photos that I can even think of… but apparently I had issue with Mark’s butt crack ruining one that I really liked?   I don’t know, all I know is that I had a dream that I started a service on my blog here that would take your cherished photos that have been ruined by your husbands pants falling down just far enough to show some crack… and I would make the butt crack look like a flower pot growing flowers.  Yes, yes I did. The extraction dork that I am, I would extract pretty flowers from other pictures and I would “plant” them in butt cracks to save many family photos.  Laugh at me if you must… but this service blew up HUGE… EVERYONE was ordering these from me LOL!  We ended up rich and in a mansion by the end of the dream… all because you wanted me to turn your hubby’s butt crack into a flower pot.  I have issues, this I know.  I will gladly accept that for dreams like that one though… getting to tell stories like that to my husband and son are the best LOL.  I had Izzy laughing so hard that no sound was coming out of his mouth.  I always know I did a good job if that happens

Well enough torturing you with my stupidity tonight   I think it’s time for me to get back to work and try to make some more goodies for you to scrap with.  Sound good?  I’m hoping to be back tomorrow or on Christmas Eve with a little freebie for you, just haven’t quite finished it up yet.  Take care all, thanks for stopping by!

Wheeee!  Yay, maybe I can slow down on the squealing now that it’s finally time!!!  I’m baaaaaaaaack!  Back home at The Digichick that is!  I’m VERY happy in case that wasn’t obvious   So to share in my happiness and to help me celebrate, I’ve got all kinds of goodies for you!  I have 4 new products for you, 2 of them have special instructions so I’m going to annoy you again with explaining LOL.  Another new one also is bringing along a complimentary FREEBIE just for you!!  Let’s get on with the goodies than, shall we?!

First up is like I said in my last post, a new *twist* on my old CU Samplers.  I decided to give them a new name.  Instead of CU Sampler Pack (yawn!) I decided on a stupid name that you will all think I’m redonkulous for dreaming up.  I’m still suffering from my stupid broken hand, so I’m stealing my product description from the store to post here LOL!  HA!  Lazy and resourceful   “This product is a new twist on my old CU Sampler Packs. First let me explain the silly name… though I’m sure you’re used to my silly names by now Before I became Disasterpiece, my screen name everywhere used to be (and still is in a lot of places, The Digichick included!) Lady_Grundlefunk. It’s a name that my husband and I made up and share (he is Lord of course ) Sometimes for short we refer to each other as Grundie. So when trying to think of a way to revamp my sampler idea, I also needed a new name for them. So jokingly I took the word salmagundi and added a Nett twist to it.
From now on for the chance to grab this at the super low $1.50 price you’re used to, you’ll have to act quickly. I’ll have it on sale for $1.50 for the first week it is available (which is 50% off!) and then after that it will be set at it’s regularly low price of $3.00. Either way you’re getting a great bargain, it’s up to you HOW big of one you’d like ”  So that’s what that’s about!  Here’s the preview of it for you, and after I’ll give you a list of what’s inside.

In this months pack there is:
1 funky feather in it’s original color only.
1 string in it’s original color only.
1 smooshie ric rac in it’s original color and 2 shades of gray.
1 rubber band in it’s original color and 2 shades of gray.
1 full sized paper texture overlay.
1 flower button in it’s original color and 2 shades of gray.
1 big shiny bow in it’s original color and 2 shades of gray.
1 small curly metallic party ribbon in it’s original color and 2 shades of gray.
There’s 8 different items and a total of 18 files included. All saved at 300 dpi. Commercial use is OK and no credit is required!

All of that for only $1.50, and will be for a week!   Next up, I made yet another sampler type of product and am giving you the chance to grab this for only $1.50 for a week as well!  This one is just natural elements only

That’s where a lot of my fun has been, I LOVE to do the assorted goodies!  I keep myself entertained very easily LOL.  Next up is a new pack of overlays.  These were dry brushed and wet watercolor brushed (both!) on VERY rough thick textured papers.  It was insane how I couldn’t stop with these LOL.  The papers were so cool though… just thick and angry almost LOL.  Have a lookee:

I hope you like how they turned out   Great anxiety busters making those, let me tell you LOL.  The look like they could kick some ass.  Oooh so do my new previews too!  Do you like them?  Made by the fabulous Flergs of course!  She made them to match my blawg here and everything else that I can make look like my blawg because I love it so much   I’m still a Flergaholic, her style  is just  killer

Last new item is what I call “Say it! Strings” and it’s also what I made a freebie to go with!  First up is the product, and then the freebie

and the freebie that comes along with it will be available in my store too, just click on it and you’ll be there!

Remember too that new products in the shop (EXCEPT for the two samplers!) are on sale for 20% off for 24 hours!

One last thing and then I’m going to go hit my vamp and catch my breath from a crazy day!  I just really want to say THANK YOU to all of you for all of your support!  I know it’s probably been confusing and frustrating to you because of me moving around and being crazy and all!  I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you’ve stuck by me and shown me that I have a place here in digiland.  I love it here and am glad that you  put up with me   Have a great night, and thank you again!

Wanted to pop in this afternoon before I finish getting MY own stuff ready to post, and show you some things my talented friends have to offer NEW in store today!!!  First up is another of Kim B.’s Mini CU Grab Bags!  This is her #3 Mini CU Grab Bag and it’s in the store starting today and is only there thru Sunday!  Getting it this way gives you HUGE savings so I always try to let you know about it asap so you can get it before it’s gone!  With Kim, you will never be disappointed!

ONLY $4.00

4 quality designer tools and resources – that works out to only $1 per kit.
Personal and Commercial Use OK
Valid only from 5th- 7th June

She’s also added a CU sampler from this bag on her BLOG today so hurry over and grab it, it’s only up for 2 days!

Studio Flergs is also hitting you with new releases today, here’s what she has for you!

You can grab Buttercup as either separate pieces (Part 1, Part 2, glitter, or alphas) or you can buy it all in one bundle and save big bucks that way.  Which is what I’d do because I know I want it all anyway LOL.  Might as well save right!?

Also today she’s released one of my all time favorite kits.  It’s called A Perfect day and it was from her guest gig over at The Lily Pad in April!  I had the biggest whoosh of mojo with this kit, it was almost like someone ploppled Evilicious back in my  hands LOL!  Take a look here:

Ooooh love it   I never had a chance to upload my LOs into the galleries when this was at TLP, so I have just been waiting for it’s release at SBG to post them here and upload them there!  I haven’t yet but plan to LOL, man I always say that hahahaha!  Here’s a few of the LOs I made with this:

The last one was another that was done with Izzy’s orders.  I scrapped while he told me what he wanted where.  I have so much fun with these type of LOs… they may not be the best way to sell the kit, but they’re the best in memories when I think back to how much fun it was for me to make with my son LOL!  That’s what counts, and I know Megs would agree!

Ok that’s that for what I wanted to make sure you heard about early enough to enjoy some shopping this weekend!  I will be back LATER tonight, as in after I get my kids in bed and get a chance to get some things organized and my brain back from Nickelodeon Land LOL!  I will bring with me that contest (if you want to call it a contest, I just have been calling it my excuse to be able to give you stuff LOL.) that I told you about, and also the June Freebie that I promised!  Just keep in mind that the May freebie with be deactivated when the June freebie goes up!

Speaking of contests though, have you guys heard about this one at DSA:

Just the thought of that much extra space gets me drooling LOL.  I know I don’t stand a  chance of winning since I barely get the chance to post at any forum lately… I can at night after the kids’ bedtime but by then I’m too busy trying to get some work done that I forbid myself to play LOL.  I do read as much as I can though hopefully someday I’ll get a routine and get back to blabbing   Alright, enough from me for now!  See you in a few hours … well more than a few hours but it will still be my tonight I guess… either way I’ll be back

So yeah, umm… no new CU Sampler or May freebie in my store today you may notice!  I’m sorry and it’s coming NEXT Thursday I PROMISE!  I’m sorry, I had to change things up a bit with all that I had going on the past week.  We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on Friday, and then Tuesday was my birthday BUT Wednesday was when Mark had a day off to spend with us so I kinda took Tuesday AND Wednesday off LOL.  I just had enough of the puter I think, my eyes and extracting didn’t want to get along!  I first was trying like crazy to get it done because any new submissions to the store have to be sent in for the newsletter by Sunday night.  So even though Mark had to work double shifts on Saturday and Sunday to make up for taking Friday off, I was trying my hardest to finish up the Sampler and get it turned in for you guys.  THEN I thought about it and thought that my customers deserve WAY better than that!  You guys are all so supportive and wonderful, you don’t deserve hurried extractions… even if it is just a Sampler, I still put my best and my all into it.  So I decided on Sunday night that instead of killing myself and hating the finished product, I will wait until next week and have a really perfect sampler and freebie for you… I’m even thinking that the extra time will give me time to throw in a Personal Use freebie as well!  So 2 freebies instead of one for May?  Does that make up for having to wait a week??  I hope so!  I also will leave the April freebie up the extra week just in case you didn’t grab it yet.  Trust me you wouldn’t have wanted me to just “throw” a sampler together and give you whatever I could find on my hard drive… there’s way too many spring things-a-bloomin’ outside right now for me to do that to you    So… in the meantime, DON’T FORGET MY BIRTHDAY SALE!!!!  My birthday may be over, but the sale is on until the 20th!!  Here’s the code again just to make sure you have it!

So my 2 favorite gifts this year come from my best online buddies .  For one, I’m a simple girl and I’d rather have a gift that is made from someones hands and heart… than something they bought just because they felt they “had to” you know??  I love to laugh too, so if you add those things together, you then should know you’ll make me feel really special and I’ll know just how much you wub me LOL.

So first up is my yummy birfdaycayke   Megs made me my very own cupcake that the kids can’t take and eat on me!  100% chocolate from top to bottom… complete with my token skull and crossbones   I love it and looking at it I can’t help but laugh because if you know me, then you know this is “me” in cupcake form LOL.

Seriously I had the biggest grin all night after I saw this LOL, it’s the best!

Now my other favorite was a quickie that Kim made me, and I’m thinking she’ll probably be pissed that I’m posting it because she said she did it in a hurry LOL.  Personally I think it’s hysterical and have been laughing my ass off for days now.  I keep looking at it  when I get pissy and the “BWAHAHAHAHHAHA’s” just come flooding right back to me!!!!

I give you “SUPER SKWERL”

HAHAHAHAAHAH *sniff* gotta wipe tears from eyes again quickly, HAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!  Now you know someone wants you to have a kick ass birfday if they take the time to make either one of these two type of gifts JUST FOR YOU right?!  I am feeling very loved now LOL

ETA: OMG Kim’s comment made me go look back at my email and NO!  I didn’t know she sent me an *animated* version of mah skwerl!!!  BWAHAHAHAHAHA oh man what a way to get going today, I’m waking the whole house up laughing my ass off!  Check this guy out:

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA Oh what she wont do to get me laughing!!!  HAHAHAHA I LOVE IT!  Reminds me of the skwerl I just made to tease Megs on her blog.  She’s got this Twitter page freebie that she made, initially it was for a friend who requested that specific picture of Rob Pattinson.  Well now the page has taken off and been all over and everywhere it goes, someone follows it and leaves a stupid comment that says “That’s not Edward, Edward would NEVER smoke!”  HAHAHAHAHAHA… ummm hi, real life much chic?  He’s an actor and sorry to tell ya toots but Edward’s not real!  So anyway I saw the page was nominated at DST in the Scrapper’s Choice Awards, and of course there was the comment following Edward some more!  So I decided that was it, I HAD to make fun of it finally!  So I went to Megs’ blog and posted this:

“I just had to come back and show you what your careless misrepresentation of “Edward” has done to my skwerl! HOW DARE YOU post that photo with “Edward Cullen” written under it when it’s CLEARLY a photo of Rob not Edward. I know this because Edward would NEVER smoke! Look at what you’ve done to mah skwerl!

NEVER smoke! NEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!”

I love my little Twilight skwerl and feel soooooo much better getting that annoying frustration out about that commentor LOLOLOLOL.  Yes, immature… that is me.  At least I didn’t do it at DST and cause a fuss

Oh before I go I want to really quickly let you know what the two of them are both up to right now!  I wouldn’t start pimping right now unless I had HUGE reasons to do so… so listen, you WILL be interested I swear!

Starting tomorrow (Friday the 8th) and ending NEXT Sunday (the 17th) Kim is having a RETIREMENT SALE!!!  Up to 60% off on a lot of her goodies, some of which is even COMMERCIAL USE stuff!  This is a store wide event too, not just Kim, but Bunny and the others will be joining in as well!!  Just to clarify too… it’s a retirement of older PRODUCTS not of Kim’s old ass!!!  BWAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!  Sorry, couldn’t resist   I tease only because I get jealous that the woman parties harder in 1 small weekend than I have in my ENTIRE life LOL!  I’m not kidding… she’s a wild one!   Here’s a graphic for the sale, just to make things easier to understand than my stupid babble probably is!

So Megs’ big news this week is that she’s gone forward and has placed her entry into DSA’s “So you think you can design” contest!  I know the thought of her not knowing for a fact that not only CAN she design… but in my opinion she’s a reigning champ in the design world!!  She’s seriously the best in every way shape for form, she’s taught me SO much and I still get blown away by her talent on a daily basis!  Ironically when I first googled digiscrapping way back when.. Kim’s and Megs’ blogs were 2 of the first ones I visited!  Never left them either LOL… I kept going back because they were hilarious, and stuck around for the kick ass designs.  It just took me forever to learn how to use them LOL.  Luckily I found a site Bunny and Kim used to have (Scrap your art out?  was that the name…eek I can’t remember!) but it was chock full of great tutorials and helped me to learn at my own pace.  The only way to learn for me!  A bit after that I got the balls to attempt a LO, and I used one of Bunny’s templates for it… she even posted it on her blog.  I was overwhelmed and soooo honored!  I was also hooked for life.  This is so addicting LOL!  Shit, I hope me mentioning that doesn’t make that LO reappear LOL… oh my was it frightening LOLOL!  I’ve come a long way that’s for sure!  So back to Megs’ submission!  It’s so freakin awesome I just had to make sure to show it off… plus it’s also a FREEBIE!!!!  Now one thing to note here.. I don’t know HOW LONG it will be offered so go grab it if you want it!  Grab it now!  I am linking it up to her blog and you can go read all her details and she’ll link you up to it there!

So if you were a fan of her kit TROUBLEMAKER you can just pretend this is a huge add on to that kit!  They’d go together poifectly

Gah… the alpha alone makes me drool!  She’s gonna rock this competition me thinks   WOO HOO!
Well guys, you’re off the hook LOL.. that’s it for me for today!   Hope you have a great one and hope you understand about the sampler and freebie!  I’ll make it worth the wait   you’ve gotta know by now that I will right!?  MWAH!

Oy! I don’t even know where to begin!  I’m late again with this so I’ll start right away with the sales so you don’t miss them.  First off I’ll tell you about where I sell, The Digichick is having a big one, here’s the details riiiight here:

Plus tonight at TDC there’s also a big chat going on too:
