A Way to Debt Relief

None of us seem to be exempt from the number one concern of all families - financial worries. Money (or lack thereof!) seems to be the cause of an enormous amount of stress and strain, not only personally, but in relationships. The scope of this problem can range from small to very large. When this happens, there are companies, such as Freedom Debt Relief that offer different types of assistance.

While many of us have heard of such options as bankruptcy, debt consilidation and credit councelling, Freedom Debt Relief offers an alternative. This company uses a innovative approach by negotiating with creditors to actually decrease the amount of debt that you owe, thus decreasing your payments and leading you to financial freedom much faster! Of course, not everyone will qualify for this option; each customer is carefully screened to meet the required guidelines.

The benefits of this type of debt relief far exceed those of simply filing for bankruptcy. By using Freedom Debt Relief, you will not only have the benefit of debt relief, but you will also receive assistance in buying a home and financial planning.

Control of our finances is something we all want. Maybe it's time to take a step in the right direction. After all, isn't financial freedom worth it?

I'm Back as a Mrs!

Hi Guys! I'm back! Thanks for the very sweet notes, comments and emails of Congratulations and Good Wishes! What a pleasure to come home to!

We had an absolutely awesome time and of course wished it would never end... we got married on August 13th on a cliff overlooking Lake Tahoe in California. If you've never been there, it is definitively one of the more beautiful spots on the face of the earth.

We spent a couple of days there before flying to Alaska, where we drove to Denali National Park. After a few days there, we boarded our cruise and spent a week sailing the Inside Passage. I'm hoping, as I have time to go through my pictures, that I can tell you a little more about it all. In the meantime, I've been sick as a dog since I got back. I had the pleasure of sitting beside a woman who hacked and coughed all over me the entire flight. Gotta love it!

I'm Off to Get Married!

Just touching base to say "Good-bye!" for about 2 weeks... we leave in the morning for our Wedding and Honeymoon, and although I love you guys, I doubt I'll be checking in! LOL! Have a great time in my absence - I know I will! When I get back I will get back to the business of Scrapping! Bye!

Custom Printed Brochures

I know that a lot of the advertising work that we do as Digital Designers is online. Obviously, it is the nature of our business as Digital Scrapbookers. However, I have been trying to think of ways to take it further, to reach those outside of the already existing Digital Scrapbooking Community; to suck more and more poor souls into the great abyss of our "addiction." LOL! One of the first, and probably one of the most simple ideas is to create educational and informative Brochures that could be passed out or placed in opportunistic places. Such places could include Obstetricians' and Pediatricians' Offices, the Community Center or even Churches.

I am just playing around with ideas right now, but would be curious as to what you all think. I have been looking at VistaPrint in particular for several reasons. First of all, I have received a great recommendation from a friend who actually had some brochures made up there. They were great quality. Besides that, they are currently offering 25 Free Brochures if you use the coupon code "FreeBrochures08." The brochures can be created from available templates or they are fully customizable, allowing you to upload your own personal designs.

My Embaressing Yard

I don't know if it's like this everywhere else in the country, but down here in Texas, we are dying of the heat! It's over 100 for the umpteenth day in a row and I can't remember when it's last rained. Embaressingly, my sprinkler system decided to die so despite standing out in the heat with the hose every night, my yard looks like absolute crap! Like it's a farmer's hay field. Oh, and did I mention that the poor folks beside us are trying to see their house, so they have this beautiful lush green yard, and the people across the street are retired and apparently have nothing else to do but look after their yard. So here I am, ducking into my house every night, hoping no one sees me, because my yard looks so dreadful.

My fiance has suddenly decided to get very concerned about the yard, perhaps preferring not to recall that we are leaving to get married in less than two weeks. In the last day or two he has filled the back porch with shrubs and trees to plant... all of which I am convinced will be dead by the time we get back. The problem is, I have to smile and act encouraging - otherwise he'll drop the project like a hot potatoe! LOL!

We spend today running around doing last minute wedding and honeymoon errands. I've got the fiance all fixed up. I think the only thing I have left to do now is get my hair cut and colored, and I have to pick my wedding dress up from the seamstress this week. I am hoping it will fit perfect and I won't have to go on a last-minute, desperate search for the Best Diet Pill in America in order to fit into it! LOL!
