Challenges Galore! Freebies and 50% Off Sale!

I hope you are all staying as safe as possible these days in such trying times.

My family and I are all safe and sound. My daughter's family is a home practicing social-distancing, as well as myself. I am still working, as we are considered an "essential service", but my office is well away from everyone else - thank goodness. We have virtually no foot traffic come in, only couriers, who have to stay behind a tapeline at the front.

My son however, works at a major grocery chain, so I do worry about him. He works in the produce department so is well aware of the need to be constantly washing his hands, so it's not much of a change for him. We are all staying as safe as we can, for ourselves and people around us and are thankful we haven't lost of jobs as a lot have. My daughter is lucky enough to be able to work from home, so my granddaughter is loving lots of Mommy & Daddy time. I do miss them terribly, but get videos and pics every day and we do a lot of FaceTiming. Thank goodness for that technology in these trying times.

For those of you who took part in our LOCKED-IN Challenge and Chat last Saturday at The Studio, it's happening again today.

Please join me in our special Community Lock-In Chat room: https://chat.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/channel/lockin-28mar where we can chat & scrap! My chat hour is 17:00 EST.

For the challenge, I'm calling it the 'MISSING YOU' challenge. During these challenging times, some are self-isolating and/or practicing social distancing, so we need something to occupy our minds. We are missing family, friends, co-workers, neighbours right now. Reaching out and talking, video chatting or just sharing information can be so consoling, especially with those who are experiencing high anxiety right now. 

I have a little card template for you to work with. It's a 7" x 5" template. I'd like you to make a card for someone special. Someone you're missing or someone that you feel needs a little pick-me-up. Who are you especially missing right now? Make them a card and send it to them. You're sure to put a little smile on their face! 

Check out all the other challenges and chats in our Forum - hope to see you there!

$2 Tuesday and a Wish for Everyone!

First off, I want to send a special shut-out to you all and pray you are all safe amidst what is becoming this world-wide pandemic we are starting to go through.

In my province of British Columbia (we have 10 and 3 territories in Canada), we have 103 cases. Four have passed. Most of us are really working on flattening the curve. I believe we jumped on this fairly quickly, but is it enough? I know some countries have not. Only time will tell.

They've closed all schools (we started Spring Break this week - timely really) and they will remain closed indefinitely. All non-essential businesses are now closed - all community pools, libraries, programs, restaurants and bars and now closed as of today and all non-emergency surgeries have been cancelled at all hospitals (amongst much more). Our Prime Minister just recently spoke (he is doing daily morning speeches now). All airports are closed with the exception of Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal. No international people are allowed in or allowed to cross the border by land, with the exception of Americans, which is odd to me as we sit two hours north of where the first really bad outbreak started near Seattle.

And unfortunately, we have our share of hoarders here too. My son works at a major grocery store and he's ready to do a "Stone Cold Stunner or PowerBomb" to someone (these are wrestling terms - to my chagrin - he's a fan!) He's physically and mentally exhausted and some people are personally blaming him for being out of certain kinds of produce (he works in the produce dept.). Thank goodness, they're starting to limit people on certain products. I am not going to be one of "them". I have enough to keep me going for weeks. We're assured the product lines for necessities will not diminish and I'm going to believe them.

Please stay safe everyone, enjoy your families, do things you haven't done in a long time. We will get through this, let's remember it's not about individuals, it's about the world as a whole. No time in history has made this so very true as to what's unfolding right now.

So if you are stuck inside for a while, what better time is it to do a little scrapping. It could be a great stress reliever for you. I have some great deals - today only - in both my stores.

(Please excuse the low-resolution images in this post - I had to grab them quicky from my store and grabbed the little ones. Trust me - they are clear and crisp in the kits!)
