On another note, we just got through our first {and hopefully last} hosting change.  We just switched to Host Gator which appears to be excellent so far.  We still have a few kinks to get out but hopefully we’ll have that all figured out soon and we’ll be back in full swing.  I have LOTS of product to get on the web…Digital, software and some other fun goodies.  Plus, we’re getting ready for our End of Summer sale that starts in just 5 days.  It never ends!!

First off, the grand opening ends tonight.  I can’t wait to see who won all of the goodies!  I’ll post the results soon.  It’s not too late to take advantage of the sale…but you gotta HURRY!! www.polkadotpotato.com

Lindsie, PDP’s awesome summer intern, worked all day creating some cool new blinkies for the site…Here’s the link: www.polkadotpotato.com/freeforall  If you like what we’re doing over at PDP, please spread the word and show your support with a blinkie!!  My fav is the no carbs one :) 

Finally, I received my new PSE newlsetter from Robert Redwood and he’s done a great Polaroid brush.  You can find it here: http://www.easyelements.com/photoshop-polaroid-brush.html  Seriously consider subscribing to this FREE newsletter here.  It’s full of great info!

Well, there’s a pile of laundry with my name on it.  Best get back to work!

I’m off to Atlanta this morning for CKU-A…just holding my babies as long as I can before I leave.  I am dying to do some scrapbooking on the plane and at night!  I seriously need to get my album from Rockport complete.  Maybe I’ll get it all done this weekend!

I’m also meeting with Cherly from www.digitalscraproom.com. I can’t wait!  I think her software idea is grand and I’ve only heard outstanding things about it.

A couple of things to note…

I got a late start today but I’m trying to make it up tonight.  I did manage to get one of Summer’s new kits up on the site.  It’s another masterpiece.  Ben has been banned to the office until the message board is done so with some luck, we’ll have the site working in its entirety.  Of course, how long have I been saying that? {…think positive thoughts…think positive thoughts…}

Without further adieu, here’s the new kit and here’s where you can snag your own.

Here’s a run down of some new goodies:

• Denise Liemert is cranking out some cute stuff!  Look at Sweet Way.  I think it’s beautiful!

• Melissa Buhler, AKA Green Pixel, has a great new kit called Daddy…  It’s perfect!  I must work on a cute layout with Ben and the kids.

• Saskia continues to amaze me!!  Every time I blink, she has new kits. Here are her fun new boy kits.  She’s also officially joined the blogging world, so be sure to check out her fun new blog.  Her introduction is a hoot!  http://sasboksdigidesigns.blogspot.com/

• Here’s yet another great one from Saskia… LOVE IT!!

• Summer has some really neat new journaling brushes available.

Find all of these and MORE in the What’s New section here.

I still have more to put up on the site, so stay tuned…
