I also wanted to let you know that I've posted the VERY FIRST Font Challenge at my site!!! I've created a DELICIOUS Posting Bonus for those that participate.

You can get all the details HERE!!!

Grand Opening SALE-a-bration - DUDE's NEW STORE!!

Howdy All,

Well, as you know - I've been getting ready to "OFFICIALLY" OPEN my new store!! I wanted to let you know that on Saturday, March 22nd - I will be having a 25% off SALE. WOO HOO!!!

I will also be in my new Chatroom from NOON EST till the DUDE gets too tired, handing out some GOODIES that coordinate with my NEWEST RELEASE, "Frivolous Fancies" Scrapkit.

"Frivolous Fancies" will be released "ON SALE" so the coupon excludes the new release. However, I do have an Xtra Plain Textured Paper Pack Add-on, a Ribbons & Bows Add-on, and a Blossoms & Borders Add-on that you can get with your 25% off coupon.

Where can you get this coupon?? Well, there are several places, in some of the Yahoo Groups that I advertise in, over at my PERSONAL PRIVATE Google Group, registered DUDEs Forum members, registered DUDEs Shop customers, or even at the CHAT!!!

Your 25% off coupon will be good for ONE WEEK ONLY!! and is good on everything in my SHOP, except for the new release of "Frivolous Fancies" which will be ON SALE for $3.00.

Now, I'm sure you want to see some PREVIEWS of this GRAND NEW KIT and I also have PREVIEWS of the GOODIES I will be giving away at the Saturday Chat!!! Who knows the Goodies might even show up for any registered members of the forum, too!!!

So, HOP, SKIP, JUMP, or FLY on over to my new site and GET REGISTERED so YOU won't be left out!!!

DUDE UP

I Guess NOW is the TIME. . .

Well I know that some of you out there have been wondering, "What on EARTH is the DUDE up to?" Well, I guess now is as good a time to let you in on it, YOUR DUDE has a NEW HOME!!! That's right, I resigned from 3S and am now an INDEPENDENT DESIGNER!!! WOO HOOOEEEYYY!!

Would you like to see a photo of my new place? OK!! HERE -

Isn't she PRETTY??? I've been busy the past week getting it all set up and functional. There are still a few issues that are outstanding. . .

1. I don't have all my products in the store YET!
2. You have to register TWO TIMES, once at the store and then again in the forum.
3. The forum is fairly naked, it needs some activity.
4. The Gallery is EMPTY, it needs filling up with some pretties!!!

Other than that, I think I'm good to go. If you have time, stop by, take a look around. I'd be happy if you registered and posted an introduction.

Well, I'm off to upload more products to the store. The links to the right will lead you in the right direction or if you want to ENTER from the MAIN SPLASH PAGE, click HERE!!

Until later. . .

OMGoodness!!! How TARDY am I???

ROFL!!! Howdy All. . .

Seems like a month of Sunday's since I've traveled to these here BLOG parts!!! But as usual, I've been a BUSY DUDE!!!

Actually, I've been all caught up in a NEW PROJECT that will be UNVEILED on March 31st!! Let me tell you RIGHT NOW -- it's going to be a SHOCKER!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!! Nobody will be electrocuted or fried, but there will be some who will be perhaps SAD, some that will be as EXCITED as I am, and some that just might say 'GOOD RIDDANCE'!!

You know, there comes a time in one's life that when you set goals and achieve those goals it no longer has the same meaning as it once did. When that happens, it's time to regroup, reorganize, and set NEW GOALS. I won't get into this much more now, yet I felt the need to reaffirm my absence from the blog.

I would like to express my extreme DELIGHT to the response I've had over at the new Google Group. Membership is AMAZING and I want to take this time to THANK all those who've joined so far. You are all amazing. Tomorrow I will be posting the 3rd Goodie that coordinates with my newest release "Modern Woman", so be sure to stop by before the first two are gone.

Also, I wanted to mention the Scrap-a-Deal Chat that will be on Wednesday, March 5th at 10 pm EST -- show up and grab MORE coordinating GOODIES!!! For those of you involved in my bi-weekly hosting of FwF's there's a little bit of news to share. My co-hostess in Fontcrime and I will be taking a mini vacation from the challenge for the Month of March. But don't worry, FwF will resume again on April 2nd.

Now please don't forget that THIS week is **Embellish It**, Thursday night, March 6th at 10 pm EST in the 3Scrapateers chatroom.

I did manage to finish up a new kit last week, "O'Blarney" just a little something to celebrate with the Irish and join in on the St. Patrick's Festivities. Now available in my 3S store, you can find the link to the right of this post. Here's a preview:

"O'Blarney" - the Elements

"O'Blarney" - the Papers

Oh! SHEESH!!! I almost forgot, there will NOT be a DUDE's Monthly Challenge this month, it too, will be on vacation. Well, I best get back to work. Dreams are not caught by goofing off!!! LOL

Until NEXT TIME. . .
