A little chit chat quicker picker upper :)

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that I have a new fabulous blinkie showcased here on my bloggy made by my good friend Crys just for my photography site DKY Photo. 
You can see it here ----->  
And you will always be here on this bloggy right under this blogs blinkie :)
She did such a fantastic job on it!!!! Thanks a bunch Crys!!!  You so rock!

Also, a quick note, I, yet again am behind this week and I did not have a freezBie for you yesterday :(  However, I am in the works of one right now and should have it up between now and Monday - forgive me for the delay - bad me...lol

I will not have a freezBie these next 2 Fridays as well.  I will be in and out doing things with the fam until August 16thish.  But once we have our little break together, I will have some great things for you all :)

Also, I will not be doing any blogtrains for the month of August :(    Ahhhhhhh shucks :(  Reason being, Gothic Inspirations Blogtrain will be taking August off for everyone and The Brat Pack Blogtrain, which is still being going on for the month of August, I held back from this one so I can spend this Summer time getaway with the fam.  HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I won't be on the next train rides from all of them after August - Oh no way, they can't get rid of me that quickly....lol  I love these blogtrains so much and the ladies who are in them are just too great - So, just to let you know, September I will be back in full swing with them both :)

Alrighty my friends, I have rambled on enough for you today :)  Have a fun filled weekend and be seeing you all soon :)

Kara :)

A little chit chat of sorts :-)

Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm sorry I didn't post a F r e z b y last Friday (I know I spelled that wrong - did it on purpose so the seacrch engines don't pick it up...lol)  But the reason I am so far behind is that it was my daughter Emmalee's Birthday was yesterday and we have been running around like mad men trying to get things done (we had a small party yesterday but are having a large family bar-b-cue this weekend).  So needless to say, I still have a 1000 things to do, my house is a disaster and I'm not yet prepared for the party itself  -  but I'm trying...lol 
I'm in the works for a cute  f r e z b y  this coming Friday to make up for missing last week :)

Here are a few pics of Emmalee on Sunday & at the little family party we had yesterday - My little baby is now 3 yrs old - How did the time go by so fast???? :(

Have a rockin week everyone! :)
