Hi all its me, Nikki! I hope everyone is having a great August! I am but its so hot that you can't be outside and I love being out side (and I have this big beautiful German Shepherd that would like to be with me outside all the time too but its too hot for both of us)! I've never been more ready for fall!!
I've been slammed with work, Dan had to go out of town for 4 days, Lanie and Catlin went on vacation last week and part of this week so its really been about all I can handle! Then at one point I was getting all kinds of things done when I realized I was barely making a dent! Then at another point this weekend I thought "hey I don't need these people" I can do all of this and run this entire company all by myself, then yesterday I was in tears freaking out over an order trying to get it shipped and it wasn't working right (or I wasn't doing it right) and I thought if I didn't need Dan and Laine so much I was going to kill them both when they got back to work! So "the big picture" was that I do need help, that I can't do it all, that its perfectly fine to want and ask for help!
I was a guest blogger yesterday at "The Big Picture Scrapbooking" blog and had a great time blogging and wanted to share my blog entry with you all. You can see it here:

Hi Nikki Sweetie...
What a beautiful share and I so adore the photos.
Your little sweet babie posed beautifully for her photo. Will make a priceless necklace. They become our lives don't they?
The photo of you and your friend, what a memory, and how lovely that you have named a collection after her.
I wanted to let you know my box of love came. I am so excited to begin. I am a newbie. Julie promises to stop by soon and get me started. When I create, I promise to share with all. Thank you again, I so adore Bucky the Beaver. What fun I am going to have finding myself in Scrapbooking.
Have a gorgeous evening sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
