Groundbreaking news! Piggy Tales WOW! A RAK!

It's official! The building of our house began as of today!! I got to our property just in time to get our excavator shoveling the very first bucket of dirt where our future home will be located. By the time I went back after work, it was quite apparent that a house was going to be built right where we're standing in the photos below!






Today has been just an awesome day! In the mail I got a big ole box of goodies from Piggy Tales!! Thanks Debbie Juden (PT owner). And also a congrats to Debbie on the birth of their second son, Luke! Debbie is SO generous! I was completely blown away by all the goodies included in the box!! I think every single new summer CHA item was in that box!! I love PT's yummy ribbon! I can't wait to play!!







I haven't dropped anything into the Cumulative Rak Box for September, so here it is! It's a charm bracelet complete with charms in a Christian theme. So remember, if you want to win the box of goodies, all you have to do is post comments. For each comment you post, you'll receive a lottery ticket to be placed in the hat for the prize winning drawing!



I found these little goodies at Target in the hot spot the other day. It's a package of really cute fall brads and a wooden alphabet stamp set. I will be giving this set away some time this weekend. I will put your name in a hat for every comment you post for this little set and draw by Sunday!



One more thing- I took a watercolor theory class with Laura Jacobs, owner of Bugawumps stamp company last night. I will make some cards using my newly acquired skills and try to get them posted for a RAK soon!!

Looks like your NEW house will really be out in the country, this summer we went to Vermont and the girls now want a horse, we live in the city, so we might find a beautiful spot like that to live one day too. God bless!

Today is my catch up day. Looks like I missed some cool stuff the last few days. Love all those layouts. I bought some Piggy Tales paper yesterday. It was the first time I've seen any in stores. I got the Chicken Little line. Can't wait to play with it.
