Fun Bits for the Week of 3.28.11

Fun stuff going on at the Yeg house ...the week of 3.28.11

* Brooke yelling "who dranked out of my Jesus cup"...one of her older sister's VBS cups...made me giggle.
* Leah finally started soccer - she's been ready but the weather has not been cooperating.
* Lily (dog) and hubby have been fighting over snoring time at night - they go back and forth...dog...hubby...dog...hubby.
* Brooke and Kami making their babysitter laugh until she cried with their singing of Katy Perry's song "Firework".
* Saturday morning I found myself watching Yo Gabba Gabba (which I can't stand) but only because Jack Black was on the episode and I couldn't believe he would wear that orange suit!
* Thoroughly enjoyed game night with the neighbors and friends.  Nice to have some non-Jillibean fun!
* Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff - 4.4.11
* This is how kids get dressed in our house without supervision...

Have a great week!

Bitter-Sweet

I'm thrilled to have so many people apply for our design team - so many talented people I should say, but it's really hard for me to let people down.  I know that people purchase new products, they try new techniques, they re-write their application 10 times so it sounds just right.  I know this and that just makes it even harder for me.  I don't want anyone to feel like it wasn't worth it.  Please keep trying.  Many of our past DT members were either guest designers or we've seen their work before and really liked what they did with Jillibean products.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for applying, it means the world to me that all of you support Jillibean Soup.

Here is the new team:



Congrats to the ladies!  I can't wait to see some of the great new stuff you cook-up!

Want to help stuff eggs?

Since I'm in charge of our Easter Egg Hunt at church, that means I'm in charge of getting 2000 eggs filled!  If anyone wants to join me next Monday eve (4th)...I'll be stuffing.

Have a good one!

Quick Card to Share...

Busy week, getting back into this blogging thing.  Last week I had all my posts prepped on the weekend...didn't happen this week.  Trying to remember what fun stuff to put up here! 

Here's a card that I made this weekend at a private crop at B&B.  I had a great time with friends and new friends. 

Simple, but cute.  Love using the Unity stamps...they stamp so effortlessly. 

I have some layouts to share from the weekend too!  I just need to get some good pics.

Have a great day!

Fun Bits for the Week of 3.21.11

A bit of fun for the week of 3.21.11...

* I have no idea where she learned it but Brooke has been heard singing "Woop There It Is" around the house and in the car.  It's just funny - you never know what's coming out of that kids mouth!
* We enjoyed our first trip to the zoo with some friends early on in the week...we were treated to a show by the "monkeys".  I wanted to cover the girl's eyes. ;)
* Brooke was heard making fun of a teenager wearing a purple shirt - she said "boys aren't supposed to wear purple".  Once again, I have no idea where she learned that!  She also said that "she's the boss and he can't wear that shirt". 
* The girls spent some time with Uncle Ron, Aunt Kathy, Alyssa and Camille this past week/weekend - on the drive up to PA, they wanted to watch "Elf".  Leah and Kami love this movie and watch it at any time of year!
* I enjoyed meeting lots of lovely ladies at the Memories Expo this past weekend and at a private crop.  Hello to my table mates!!! ;)  I'm excited to show you some cards and layouts I completed!  <----yep, COMPLETED!!  Woo Hoo!
* On a sad side note, our poor little poocher could use some prayers.  She's been having seizures again - too many of them.  We're starting some new meds this week which we hope will calm them.  Also, I'm noticing more "spots" on her - she's in the age range for cancer for dogs.  :( 

Have a great week everyone!

Need Some Inspiration?

Wanna know where I go to look for inspiration?  Google of course...that will take you anywhere you want to go, that's how I get most of our soup names....I just google words that pertain to the design and find a recipe that fits.  I look to lots of other places for design inspiration - catalogs, magazines, design books, home decor books...I get color combinations from just about anywhere.  I have been looking up typography and letters for a couple different reasons.  I need to spell the remainer of S-O-U-P for my office and I need large letters - I have the "S".  Also, I'm wanting to do a fall line about typography. 

Here's so stuff on Etsy I ran into...



You can view more of Oh My Buttons and Bows here.



Love these letters from EdiesLab.



How cool are these vintage coffee bean bag chairs!!!!  You can see more from Blanaid (Ireland) here.



Love this and want one for my office. ;)  This comes from WilliamDohman and sells for $175.



Here's a cool checkbook cover...this is being sold by Two Polkadots. 

So much cool stuff and so little time to explore. :)

Have a good one!
