ALLOW ME JUST A MOMENT...

to clear up a few issues!

First of all - if any potential challenge participants have a question, please feel free to email me and ask away! You can reach me at "miss.essie@yahoo.com". I'm here...seemingly all the time! Just pop me an email and I'll get back with you. Seems as though several people were calling the store full of "blog challenge Q"s...looking for "blog challenge A"s. And while Mr. Doss and Ms. Laura (and yes, Sweet Justin too) will always talk to a scrapper with questions, they may not have blog answers. So send me your questions...I dare you!

Second of all - I LOVE COMMENTS! I love knowing that you're reading, and giggling, and creating, and churning out fun ideas! So every once-in-a-while hit that little COMMENT button below my posts. Seems as though Sweet Justin's posts get comments lately, and this has me pouting. Don't you all realize that he's just a big stinky boy...what does HE know about scrappin'?

(just kiddin' there Scrap-Baby J...just kiddin'!)

Third of all - is it spring in your part of the country?? In case it isn't, let me show you what's gracing my kitchen counter right this very second...


and they are from my garden! I am just tickled pink...and yellow...and orange...and white!

And finally - hold on to your hats because rumor has it I'll be able to upload our very own Susan's challenge pages tonight! I informed her that she wouldn't be eligible for prizes, and she understood. She said she's going to participate in the challenges to get some pages done and provide some encouragement to my readers! How sweet (especially since I have yet to crack open an adhesive this week!).

So check back soon for some challenge mojo! You'll have until tomorrow evening to enter this week's challenge. So come on ladies...what are you waiting for? Scrap, scrap, scrap...

behave yourselves...
