Happy Fathers Day

Happy fathers day to all the daddys out there,My Kids are blessed to have a great daddy.  My own dad sadly passed away when i was 4, at 25 i sometimes think it affects me more now, he has never seen my kids, will never walk me down the aisle, i cant remeber the sound of his voice, The hearty sound of  his laughter. Never had the special father daugter bond or even played my mum off my dad, cos no doubt about it i would of been a daddys girl. I still miss and think of him every single day and would love to have even an hour with him.

Scrappity Doo Dah Blog Hop

While We Were Away...

The Scrappity-Doo-Dah designers and team members were cooking up something special for you!

The whole team at SDD appreciates all our customers, and our whole team want to thank you for your continued patience - both in the time that we were down and our migration over to a new, more (ahem) reliable host. We hope that this blog hop will make up for it!

More than 15 of the designers and some of the CT, Love Birds, and Moderators of SDD have come together to bring you this huge kit - While We Were Away. We know you missed us while we were away and we missed you too!

If you take all of the stops of the blog hop you will end up with a huge, beautiful kit that you will be able to scrap almost anything with. You'll also receive a ton of quickpages, courtesy of our Creative Team, Love Birds, and Moderators!

First I want to take a moment to tell you that a ton of designers have sales and specials going on this weekend to make up for the downtime. Be sure to check all of them out this weekend!

Store is here 

Please understand - SDD will be going through a host move throughout the weekend and possibly into the week still. If the store does happen to be down, be patient and try again later. We may experience some downtime during the move, but rest assured if there is, we will try to fix it ASAP!

And now on to the blog hop!

Here's what you'll be receiving from me today!
