Changes

I made the difficult decision of leaving Digitals today. It has been my digital home for a long time and I am so sad. But sometimes change is a good thing right? I just felt the need to move on.

So, I will be focusing on my blog/facebook store and at MyMemories. I hope you will join my Facebook page and continue to support my efforts.

Thanks for all your support!

Yes, I'm Alive

So hi. Yes, it probably seems like I have disappeared into the blog oblivion, but I really am still alive.

I am just working behind the scenes trying to get my new blog store/facebook store cart system working. Adding products is just taking all my time and energy. I'm really excited about the whole thing though - so go check it out. Right under my blog header you will see a link to my BLOG STORE. I am still uploading, but I do have a few products in there. I'm most excited about offering bundles! So you will be able to get all my collections as bundles for a special price - only through my blog or facebook. This same cart system is available on my Facebook page too - so it is very convenient and I hope you all came take a look around and let me know what you think.

Speaking of Facebook - I am now the host of a page instead of a group. So please come like my page. I will be discontinuing the group shortly. I did this so I could take advantage of having a store right on the page - it didn't work with groups. When I reach 100 likes - I'm going to send you all a coupon - so come like me now!

Back to the new store - I haven't got a sale yet - and I'm hoping to entice one of you readers to be my first customer! You can do it through Facebook or this blog - its the same cart. And my first customer is going to get a $10 coupon for a future order!

So lots going on - even though it seems like nothing is going on. Once I get all my products loaded, I will try and get back on the blog and doing my almost daily postings and freebies and new products! Thanks for your patience!

Recipe Thursday - 30 Minute Rolls



Each Thursday, I am going to be sharing a recipe with you!
I will pick a recipe from my collection and I will be sharing where I got the recipe and everything. But I am going to include my own photo of the finished food, the original recipe, and try and share the things I changed when I made it!

I would love your help too! If you have a great recipe, especially week-night dinner recipes (but I would love all kinds of recipes) - please share it with me, by emailing me at dedesmith32@gmail.com. I will try it out and feature it on my blog! If you have cooking tips or anything else in regards to cooking and food - please email me!


This week's Recipe:
I love my old Roll Recipe - A LOT. But I had to try these out because my old recipe takes a long time. But these are really fast and they use yeast even! They are beautiful, yummy rolls that go perfect with soup!

My Blog 2012

Hi everyone! I hope you had a fantastic holiday season. I sure did. I'm having a really hard time getting back on track and coming back to the real world! I'm in the process of deciding what I want to do in 2012 and get organized.

So I want your help!!!! I want your honest opinions. What do you like about my blog? What don't you? What would you like to see more of? I would love to have more postings and get a schedule going - so please comment and let me know!

Just so you know - I have decided to not do the Project 365 this year. I have done 3 years in a row and have gotten so behind in the layouts. I am vowing to get those 3 years done in scrapbooks this year. I still hope to share my life with you through a label of LIFE 2012 - but it won't be every week and it will probably just be major events or something. But hopefully I can get back on track and do Project 365 in 2013.

So help me out and please comment!
