This Saturday marks 17 years Stephen and I have been struggling through life together. It has never been easy, but we have made it this far. To celebrate another year, I am creating a special exclusive grab bag packed full of new items for my newsletter subscribers. Altho some of the items may be found in different kits in the future, this grab bag will ONLY be for my subscribers. it will contain a variety of items for scrapbooking, and some ebooks with great info, and home crafts etc, for those of you who don't do digital art.
Above is a small sample of what kind of graphics you will find in it.... there will be over 5o items in this special gift.

In order to get this special gift, you need to be a subscriber to my newsletters. You will get updates from any and all my blog feeds, when new items are added to the stores, or news and updates are added to the blogs. If you stayed on my lists after the May 23rd privacy act, thank you, this is especially for you!! If you would like the special gifts I am creating for subscribers, you can join the mailing list HERE . 
This special newsletter and gift will be sent out Saturday June 9th!

Another year has gone by and another SSL Certificate is required for my website stores (https://treasuredscrapsrva.net). From past experience, it seems that once you order your renewal, your current one turns off, and your website is unsecure until the new one is installed and working. How stupid this is, but oh well.
If you visit me in the near future, sometime around the 15th, and discover that horrible message about an unsecrued site, have no fear, and please visit again in another day, when hopefully the certificate will be working.

​That's all for now, stay tuned for the newsletter this weekend!
