Random-ness today
Did You Get These Yet?
Get ready! I've been working on some really cute kits lately. Have you had a chance to purchase these popular kits yet? All these kits are available at Scraps N Pieces, My Memories and Heritage Scrap.
And Releasing Soon.....
Passwords:
Have you been following the issues Scraps N Pieces (and apparently GingerScraps too, I heard) have been having with hackers? I tell ya, it was a nightmare just sitting there as a designer, I can't even imagine what it was like to be the owner of those sites. I certainly don't envy them!
For SNP, it was not a malicious attack in that there was no real loss of data, other than a couple hours during the time the host was recovering and upgrading the site. HOWEVER, for members of SNP, it was malicious in that the hackers were looking for weak passwords. What they do is they grab the database of emails and passwords. Once they have that, they know that a lot of people use the same password for multiple sites. So they start trying to hack sites that use same the email and password that the members use at SNP. I know of 4 SNP members who had their Twitter accounts hacked immediately following the hack at SNP. Coincidence? Possibly, but I highly suspect it was related.
I have changed all my passwords (and wow what a headache that is!) and have gone so far as to have computer generated passwords on some of the more important sites like banking and such. I strongly suggest everybody does the same thing. If you are concerned about remembering all those passwords, there are reputable websites set up to keep track of them for you. The one I recommend is LastPass because A) it was recommended to me by my son who keeps up with internet security issues; B) it works; and C) it's FREEEEEEEEEE. It is also very highly encrypted and I feel that it's safe.
Season of Change:
It's Autumn! Can you believe that it's almost October?! The leaves are falling and changing colours; the weather is cool in the morning and evening yet warm in the daytime; the hours of daylight are getting shorter; the geese are flocking; and... there are no mosquitoes left! (yippee!)
But not only is this the season of change for the Earth, it is also a season of change for myself. I decided it was time to completely redo myself. So now, I have the shortest hair I've ever had and it's also darker than it's ever been. And I LOVE it! I've been losing weight -- 20 down, 20 to go. I have little positive quotes posted all over my office and have noticed a huge difference in my attitude.
Finally, TNS is holding a rare CT Call:

New Patriotic Collaboration Release
July 1st is Canada's birthday and we want to celebrate it! We love Canada and we love our kit,
True Patriot Love!
This is a gigantic collaboration that was contributed to by the four Canadian designers at Scraps N Pieces: Marie H Designs, Mommy Made This, Queen Wild Scraps, and True North Scraps. This is probably one of the best collabs I have ever seen in my life!
Wait? Are you saying you aren't Canadian, so why should you be interested? Be interested my friend. You still need this kit! We used colours appropriate for other nationalities to show their pride as well. We have even included some stars to match the American flag. And what about that vacation you took to Canada last summer? Or your trip to Epcot's Canada Pavilion in Walt Disney World? We have you covered!
When you see what our Creative Teams have done with this kit, most of whom are not Canadian, you will agree that no matter what your nationality is ... you need this kit!
What's included that is so amazing, you are wondering? WELL!
90 absolutely fabulous elements
36 beautiful patterned papers
7 very rich cardstocks
7 glitter papers
2, yes 2! full unique alphas
a full 4 pack of templates in .png, .psd, .tiff, .page and .pack formats
6 great journaling cards
a fantastic map of Canada and all the provinces and territories
patriotic word arts
beautiful clusters
Whew! Told ya it was big!
Despite it's enormous size, we have kept it very affordable. Can you believe you get all that for only $9.99?!! On top of that already amazingly low price, we have discounted it further for its first week in stores, by an additional 30%! Where are you going to find a bargain like this again?

iNSD!!
There is SO much happening this weekend, but I hope you will make some time to join me at SNP and HS for some great sales and goodies! First of all, let's see what's happening at SNP.
Don't spend all your money at all the other sites before you check out SNP -- the entire store is on sale
for 50% off! Plus there's lots of fun events:
Mark all those times on your calendar! And I hope that you can join me for the Queen's Boudoir chat on Saturday at 2 pm Central. It just might be worth your while ;)
And over at Heritage Scrap, I have some real steals for you! First of all, my entire store is on sale for 45% off!
And that's not all -- I have an amazing value for you! In fact, it's so good, that I can't include it in the rest of the 45% off sale. I am releasing 4 full-sized kits after NSD, all valued at $5 or more. But for NSD, I've bundled them up in a Mystery Box and you get all FOUR kits for only $5! Look at it like this -- Buy One, Get 3 FREE; or 4 kits at 75% off, or $1.25 a kit!! Either way you can't beat that deal!
Make sure you check your stash before you buy, because these kits have been released in Scraps N Pieces and My Memories already.
HAPPY iNSD -- I hope you get lots of great bargains!!

Blog Train Time at Scraps N Pieces
Before I get to the blog train, I want to tell you about my new store! I have recently joined My Memories. I'm still building up my inventory there, but my store is open now and I'm having an introductory sale of 30% off everything in my My Memories store until the end of the month. Take advantage of that for some great savings on some of my most popular kits and keep checking back frequently because I'm adding more kits every few days.
Now, on to your regularly scheduled blog train....
This month's blog train theme and colours are fabulous! Here is my part:
