Everyone on TGF Release Party Hangover like me? WHAT a fun party! We had such a fun night of chatting, prizes, talking about some VAMPIRES (lol) and had a TON of laughs! One of the reasons we laughed so hard is because of the good company we had, of course...and because of a CERTAIN DT member ;) Let me tell you something about Mercy. Pam brought this up last night, but when I come home from a weekend with Mercy and Pam, my sides are literally SORE. I am not kidding when I say this.
In fact, last time we got together, it was a few DAYS later and hubby said something to make me laugh, and I was STILL sore. We have the BEST time. Laughter is truly the best medicine, whether you're ailin or not!
Anyway, today it's time for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, MTSC76:
It's also RELEASE DAY at The Greeting Farm! My card today uses the brand new CHEEKY MATE, and you can grab her today on the TGF website :) This is the second installment of the SUPER popular Cheeky Cherry line, so hurry and get yours....like, now!

{{{ETA, on a personal note: I discovered something very sad today :( Many of you know that I love to write-maybe you don't know, but I've gotten a lot of comments regarding even my blog posts that make me know you "get" my love of writing. I'd say I have three basic purposes in this life...#1 being Mommy. My greatest accomplishment/gift. #2 papercrafting...and #3 writing.
WHERE am I going with all of this? A few months ago, my computer crashed. We got an external hard drive and I had to transfer all my data over before they performed a total hard drive wipe/reconstruction. Well, I had only told maybe 2 or 3 people this....BUT...I was working on my first book. I started it in the summer of 2008 and was up to 247 pages. Turns out, it was the FIRST thing I put on my EHD and well, I did it...WRONG. I am very sad :( I can remember and re-create some of it, but...it's a little bit of a blow. Oh well, there are much worse things, right? Thanks for reading....here's to new beginnings and fresh, blank pages, I guess, LOL!}}}

First...LOVED the release party. I did not do much chatting, but more observing and laughing at you guys, lol!!
Second, OMG about your book. That is devastating. All that time! Uuugh! Computers are a great evil sometimes. So sorry. Hopefully you can recreate and make it a better story than it was.
She is just FABULOUS Jess!!! I only had time to peek in on the party last night, I would have loved to stay BUT my daughter had other plans.
I'm so SORRY about your book!!!! I SO hope it will come back to you as you go.....maybe even better than the first (IF possible :))

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear about your lost book Jess, what a heartbreak that must be. :(
You seem to have a better outlook on it than I would and though it may take some time I'm sure you will be able to re-create it even better than it was before!
And your Cheeky card today is super cute, I'm really diggin' that fresh color combo you used!
Oh Jessica, I am SO SORRY about the loss of your book file. I too love to write, although I have never attempted fiction! The loss of any creation is painful, but there is so much of yourself that you pour into a book and it is a slow process - not only the loss of a little piece of your soul but also the investment of all that time! I'm really hurting for you girl!
On the other hand, the card is darling!
Aw, what a cutie! I adore your card! These papers are fab!
I am sooo very sorry to hear about your book! How crushing... I wish you much luck with the re-write!
hugs to you!

Ahhhh.... gorgeous coloring, happy colors, cute image! Love your take on the sketch!
I'm devastated for you at the loss of your writing! I can't imagine the investment you must have had in it. Sending huge hugs, sweet friend!
I have experienced the side soreness...it's the best kind of muscle pain out there!! Sorry again about your book, but I know you and I know that whatever you write, you will put your heart and soul into it and it will be amazing!! GORGEOUS card too, you are superwoman!!
gorgeous card, sweetie! i hate to hear that about your book, though...what a bummer!
