And I'm Off!

Okay, not really leaving or anything...but I'm off to

 The Rebelution conference!! 

I am so excited to be able to go this year!  And especially since it's their last tour and all. :(  ::sniff::

I'm looking forward to meeting two fellow bloggers!  Noah and Talia.  Thank you so much for contacting me!  I'll see you sometime today :)

And also, I want to let you all know that today is OFFICIALLY the blog challenge that I am co-hosting with Mary - 'In Another Day'!!  And as a terrible host, I am not doing my first day post. :P  I know...I'm really bad.  BUT, I'll have my first post up sometime on Tuesday! :)  I'm not really sure I'll be doing the whole week...maybe just a couple days.  I don't get to enter for all the cool prizes. :P  BUT, I will be having TONS of fun reading all your entries!!  So...link up below and start havin' fun!

PS:  Oh!  And I'm guest posting at The Dream Catcher.  (Don't ever take 'scheduled posting' for granted! :P)  Be sure to check out my post there and leave me a comment, okay?  Thanks ;)

 You can see the glue through the ribbon in that last one...which is really weird because you can't really see it in person. :P haha

Anyway!  Hope you enjoyed seeing my latest card-making attempts!  

Which one is your favorite? :)

AND, I'm kinda thinking of having a card-giveaway.  Winner's choice!  What do you think? ;)
