Are you up for a Blog Hoppin’ party! It’s Friday night, and the kids have been crazy, and a party sounds GREAT to me! I’m going to be joining in the BlogHop 08, hosted at Pensieve’s site.

And because a party is always better with GIFTS, I’m giving away $5 Starbucks gift cards to THREE lucky visitors. Just leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by, and I’ll pick three winners (at random) tomorrow (whenever I wake up).

Now, have fun blog hoppin’, and be safe, ya’ll!

Edited to Add:  I’m going to wait to pick winners until Sunday NIGHT, since I’m still making the rounds of all the blogs, and I expect others are too! 

This isn’t really a typical “mommy blog”, but I AM a Mommy and I do occasionally talk about Mommy things, so I thought I’d join in, AND spend some time surfing today. (Because, you know, I don’t have nearly enough blogs to read every day… cough.. cough… hack…ahem).

So, off I go to surf… and if you are visiting from the MommyFest link, WELCOME! Pull up a chair, click a few links, and enjoy! And most of all, THANKS for coming on over!

It’s (inter)National Scrapbooking Day today! YAY! I’m planning to spend time blog surfing and reading, and looking for extra special deals. My budget to shop is small, but I’m going to enjoy the day anyway!

I have a link above this post, but just in case you missed it, be sure to click over to my Thrifty Thursday post which has a HUGE list of sales and specials going on this weekend.

I’m also joining in the NSD Blog Party, hosted by Scrapbook Dimensions. You get a free template from each of the blogs on the list! Check out the details AND the links below:

So, here’s a (digi) sample of my card template, made using Amy Bleser’s “Flowers for Mom” kit. I didn’t get a hybrid sample done in time, but I’m sure you can see the possibilities!

And here’s where you can get the template: DigiScrapChat Card Template

Thanks SO much for visiting DigiScrapChat today, especially if you are part of the Blog Party!

Oh, and be SURE to put your name in for my Donna Downey Book Giveaway!! I’ll be choosing TWO winners at midnight tonight (PST), and announcing that here on the blog in the morning!

Scrapbook Dimensions Magazine is hosting a blog party, and I decided to join in.

Saturday, May 3rd, which is National Scrapbooking Day, you can come back here to DigiScrapChat, and download a FREE template!

And, after you download my free template, you can then visit ALL the blogs that are participating, (I’ll have a list to make it easy!) and you’ll be able to download a FREE template from each one of them as well!

How fun is that?!

So… come back Saturday for the BLOG PARTY!

(And lots and lots more fun stuff too!)

My friend Laura is hosting a Mother’s Day event on her blog, and I’d love some of us digi-scrappers to join in! Here’s part of her post about the event:

Take some time to think about everyone you know who is a mother. (And the ladies in your life who may not have a child of her own…but is a mother figure to you or others.) Any lady who is a wonderful mother…aunt…friend…servant…or mentor….

With these ladies in mind…do one of three things:

1. Leave a comment here telling us a bit about them and WHY you think this lady should be honored. (I’d appreciate it if you left an individual comment for each lady you wish to honor…thanks!)

OR

2. Blog about this lady (or these ladies) on your own blog…then come back and leave a comment here letting us know to come read your blog post honoring these special mothers.

OR

3. Email me at laura @ heavenlyhomemakers.com (take out the spaces!)…and tell me about the women you want to honor.

There are more details on Laura’s blog, including what she plans to do with all the nominations, so head on over and read all about it, will you?

And because I like to make things fun… (or difficult?)… I’m offering a #4 idea.

#4 - Scrap a layout honoring someone, nominating them for this event, and leave a comment HERE at DigiScrapChat with a link to your layout and then go post it over at Laura’s blog too. Laura will have some gifts for the nominees, and I just might have a few things to hand out too! (We’re all about surprises around here!)

Thanks for reading and I hope you’ll join in!
