the heimann family

I could come up with a million excuses as to why I haven’t blogged lately but I will spare you for now.  I am getting back into the swing of things around here and have let go of some of the stress that has kept me away.  I have a few pictures I want to share soon and I need to post about my almost 7 year old.  Seven years.  Wow!

Since I do not have anything ready for you over here how about you pop on over to my design blog and take a look at what has been going on over there.  You do not want to miss my new release!  I am very proud of the fat little Santa I made!

Time to pick up the boys from school!

I will be back soon!

**design post ahead!  family members are free to ignore ;)**

I have a few announcements I want to squeeze in if you don’t mind.

First I am proud to say that today is my two year designiversary!  I have been in business for 2 years!  And there is no better way to celebrate than a little freebie and a contest!  You have to head over to my design blog to see all the details!  http://amandaheimanndesigns.com/designblog/

Next I am going to put a plug in for a new, exciting and fun digital scrapbooking site.  http://digiscrapaddicts.com/ The grand opening is today!  You might want to stop by to see what all is going on. ;)

And there is nothing better to finish up a post with than a sale announcement.  Scrap Orchard is having a birthday!

I am thrilled to announce the newest members of my Creative Team:

I am tickled pink and can’t wait to see what they create.  And I want to give a special thanks to Pam for organizing the team and cracking the whip!

I have so much to catch up on I don’t even know where to start.  There are holiday photos, lost teeth, new toys, wedding photos (still working on them Ann!) and a birthday to blog about.  But you are going to have to hold on a little bit longer.  I have been mulling this over for a while.  I think the time has come to separate my design and personal blog.  I have so much to talk about on both subjects but have a hard time splitting the topics.  So a new blog is under construction.  This blog address will remain the same and will be my main blog.  Most of the posts will be about our family life and photos with a few design announcements thrown in here and there.  The second blog will be a design blog that is run by my Creative Team.  There will be announcements, layouts, contest, freebies, new releases and whatever else they come up with.  And I will pop on every now and then to have my say.

I feel better now.  And expanding my team and actually asking them to help out (I hate asking for help) has decreased my stress level so much.  My career as a designer has just taken off lately and I never have enough hours in the day.  I am so lucky to have a great group of supporters that are willing to help me out.

So thank you to my team, Pam, Kirsty, Darcy and Billy.  I should pay y’all, huh?
