Merry Christmas from Liv Luvs Scraps

Hey there lovely people,

Well, it's that time of year -- the festive season is upon us. And for me, that means working a LOT of hours this week (and last week as well). You gotta love retail....*ahem*

Anyway, that means I will not be able to log in before Christmas Day, so I thought I'd post a message now to wish you all a happy and safe Christmas!

What are you all doing to celebrate? I'm going to my grandparents' house, and having a huge Italian/German feast!!! Can't wait :)

Because of the busy-ness of this time of year, I will not be releasing any more kits until new year. I've got some ideas brewing, but I am ALWAYS up for suggestions.

If you have a theme or set of colours that you would like to see turned into a kit, please leave a comment in this post - all suggestions will be taken on board (unless, of course, they're rude or whatever).

Before I sign off, there are a few people I would like to thank:

• The ladies at Truly Inspired and Muse Inspired for taking me on as a member, and supporting me through this new endeavour of mine. I've learned a lot, and am excited to know that there's still HEAPS more to still learn.
  
• My scrap mentors - those I look up to, and whose designs I'm totally in love with (and wish I could buy/download each & every one of their kits): Helly (Designs by Helly), Pix (Kissed by Pix), Cari (Kissed by Cari), Danielle (DMK Designs), Leigh (Heartfelt Perfections), Laura (Bitz 'N' Bobz by Loz), Deb (Mystic Inc Design)...oh man, I could go on...but I don't have the time, and I'm sure you all have better things to do than read a huge list of people's names! :)

And lastly, I want to thank each and every one of you who visits, downloads my stuff, leaves comments & offers support. Liv Luvs Scraps would not be the same without you - in fact, it wouldn't be around at all!! :)

Looking forward to a fantastic 2009! :)

Merry Christmas, and have a great beginning of 2009!! :)

Love,
--Liv--

7 Things I Love:

1. Salt & Vinegar chips...yum!
2. Playing with my gorgeous almost-16 year old cat
3. Music - I listen to it, sing along to it, write it, play it, read it...it's something I cannot live without.
4. Reading the Bible - it's an amazing book (or set of books, I should say)
5. Perfume - if you know me, you know I love fragrances!
6. Laughing...there's nothing better than laughing at something hilarious!
7. Drooling over certain male celebs - Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Michael Weatherly, Milo Ventimiglia, Justin Timberlake, David Boreanaz - shall I keep going?? LOL

7 Friends I Chose:

Hi there,
Welcome to Liv Luvs Scraps!! This blog will showcase my digiscrap creations, so I hope you will stick around to see what I add here.

Yes, I know it's empty at the moment, but I have lots of ideas that I'd love to get started on turning into scrap kits. So bear with me! :)

Pretty soon, I'll be adding my TOU (terms of use) to the blog, and they'll also be part of any kit I make in the future.

Anyway, I hope you'll stick with me while I start this new adventure! :)

Before I sign off, I'd like to thank the girls at Truly Inspired for their support and guidance. I've been learning so much from all of them - it's because of this group that I've decided to start my own blog for my designs. :) Thanks, ladies! :)

Until next time...
