Shannon's January Sketch

Thought I would share what was shown over on Shannon's blog for January.

Here is her cool sketch:





Here is what I made after seeing it :) Don't ya love Katelyn's eensie weensie tiny polka dot bikini? Here and her bud are making something yummy while I had some time to myself...always needed!

Remembering Audrey Hepburn

As I was playing along with the wonderful designers at True XOXO I created this for their latest challenge. The challenge was to allow for the late great Ms H to inspire us. She had a beautiful  quote that I thought would go well  with this layout of my daughter as Prom Queen Candidate.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.
Audrey Hepburn

Here in this school system the band nominee likely wins each year because they have the majority of votes. That's good for our band to have that many members with it being a sort of small school, but the other candidates sort of get an honorable mention. C'est la vie! The fun is participating and my daughter reveled in her moment :)

Thanks for coming by!

Tearfully Saying Goodbye

It is with a bit of sadness and a heavy heart that I wrote today to say that If It's Groovy will no longer have a design team. Through NO FAULT of their own,  I have decided to stop having a  DT here on IIG, only because I need some time to slow down. Since my mother;s passing at the end of July I have not taken the time I feel as though I personally need to sort through what all happened,  why, and how broken hearted I am.

My father needs me around more to help  him. I am busy with my kids and every time I talk to my dad he seems stressed that I am busy running them up and down the road to do the things that are normal to them. This shows me that I need to spend more time there and away from my computer  too.

It's not just that, I am trying to recover from a hysterectomy a few weeks ago and although my incisions are doing well,  I am more tired than I have ever been and I think my body is screaming for me to chill out.

I will miss each and every designer who has come through the proverbial doors of this blog. These ladies have been so helpful at so many times. I truly hope in the fours years since I started this blog that you have been inspired and had fun watching to see what our new challenge would be. We certainly have had a lot of fun. Please visit each one on her  blog and  see what is coming up  for her next :)

Take care everyone and know that I am grateful for every one of you who have been loyal designers and followers.

Peace,
Deb♥
