Audrey has a new post up this week, focusing on how to manage a long-term album project. It’s a great article, and she’s even thrown in a few templates and planning guides (free for you to download!). Long-term projects can be hard to manage (especially so for me because I’m so impatient), her tips are both encouraging and motivating me to keep going.

Some of you may already know. I will be on vacation this week. Can you see me doing the happy dance? It’s probably a good thing that you can’t. You might fall off your chair from laughing.

As I was saying, I’m looking forward to this break. To unplugging from the computer, the internet, photoshop and spending leisurely, relaxing time with my family. While I’m off unplugging and and doing other vacation-y activities like soaking up the sun, things will still be hopping along on here ye old blog! Good fortune was smiling down on me last week. Some amazing (and I mean amazing, like really amazing) people offered to do guest posts here while I’m out. Crazy right?

I’m crazy lucky to have such awesome friends that will offer to do crazy things for me.

So everyday this week, there will be crazy fun happenings. A new post everyday. A new giveaway everyday. Yes, you read that right.

A new giveaway everyday.

And I have a new kit coming out tomorrow with special savings for presslist subscribers. Here’s a sneak peek of the layout that I’m working on using papers + elements from wallflowers:

Oh, and there will be a sale in my shop, in celebration of National Scrapbook DAY. I’m starting the sale earlier than most folks because of the vacation thing. I hope you don’t mind getting a few extra days of savings in my shop.

I’m working on the newsletter now and once I hit SEND NEWSLETTER, consider me officially on vacation. Have a wonderful week folks!
