Boy!  I have neglected this little blog for way too long.  I'm feeling the urge to start digi-scrappin' again.  I'll have to start from scratch with my little boutique - with added security of course.  Don't expect too much from me just yet though, It'll take me a bit to get going again.

Laurinda's Digiscraps Boutique is Down

Just wanted to let you know that my little boutique is DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE.  I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.  Someone hacked into my site and inserted a script that was sending "get rich quick" scheme emails to everyone on my customer list.  They looked like they were from my boutique, but I had no idea that this was happening, and I am so terribly sorry if you received one.  I just hope nobody clicked on the links in the email - I'm not sure where they would lead, I didn't want to try them myself.  Some people are just rotten to do such a mean thing.  They really should be using their talent for good and not evil.

Anyway, I'm trying to fix the problem, but I somehow lost everything.  Soooo...now I'm in the process of trying to rebuild the whole site.

Hope your day is going better than mine : )

Introducing: DELIGHTFUL

I hope you're all above the water level right now.  : )

Spring brings many things to us here in Montana and across the country.  The snow is finally melting, the trees are budding, the green grass is growing (not to mention the weeds! but that's another story), flowers are blooming,  birds are singing, and the rivers and creeks are all rising.  Many of the rivers in our area are already overflowing their banks, and there's still a lot of snow to melt.  Anyway, I hope all is well where you are.

During my last bible study it got me thinking about how delightful God truly is.  So, of course, I decided to create a kit called Delightful.  A verse from the book of Psalms kept running through my head “Great are the works of the Lord; they are studied by all who delight in Him.” – Psalm 111:2 (NAS) Granted, this little kit cannot begin to compare to the delightfulness of the Lord, but I do hope that it might bring a little bit of glory to Him.

Here are the previews - CLICK on them to go to my boutique.

And here's a little FREEBIE for you:

Click on the Preview to grab it at my boutique.  Grab it while you can, it won't be available long...BUT...it is included in the Delightful kit.


Have a Delightful day,

Happy Resurrection Sunday

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

In celebration of Christ's resurrection, I have 2, yes two, sweet little Easter treats for you.  The first is a 4x6 brag book page and the other is a cute little cluster frame.

My mind has been filled with thinking of the meaning of Easter as it draws near.  I love the way the book of Luke, in the bible, tells the story of Christ's resurrection from the dead (our Easter celebration).  Here it is:

Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.  But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.  Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.  Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,  saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.' "  Luke 24:1-7  NKJV
  
It's wonderful to know that things happened just as Jesus said they would.  I hope that you have given your heart to the Lord.  We are saved from our sin, the wrong we have done, simply by putting our faith in Christ and living for him.  There's a large cross on a hillside near where I live that says "He died for you, will you live for Him?".

Here are the Easter freebies I promised:

Have a blessed Easter,

SALE! at my Boutique

Just thought I'd let you know that I'm having a Dollar Sale at my boutique.  That's right, you heard me correctly, and everything in my boutique is only $1 (usd) through the month of April. With the economy still in the toilet, I really wanted to do a little something to help out.   Sooo...I hope this helps a bit to make digiscrappin' more affordable.

Have a great day,

Introducing: FAITHFUL and a Freebie

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

I have a little freebie for you and a brand new kit to introduce to you. My kit is called Faithful.  God's Word, the bible, says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."(Hebrews 11:1) and "We walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7).  Oh, and I love the words of the old hymn, "Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see;  All I have needed thy hand hath provided - Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me."

Faith is such an enormous part of our lives.  Even if you don't have faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you do have faith in something or someone.  Be careful where you put your faith.  

You can click on the previews to learn more about it.

And here's your freebie:

Click on the freebie to go to my boutique (opens in a new window) to grab this sweet little cluster frame.
Grab it while you can, it will only be available for a short time.  After that it will become part of the Faithful kit.

Happy New Year!

Wow! I can't believe that 2010 is already gone.  What did I do with that whole year?  It just seemed to fly by so fast.  As you can see by how long ago my last post was, I have not quite recovered from being a bad blogger.  Still, here I am. 

I'm so sorry that I didn't take the time to wish you all a Merry Christmas - my favorite time of the year.  I did manage to add a few Christmasy (is that even a word???) elements to my boutique, but somehow I neglected my blog.  I do hope that your Christmas was spent thanking God for the precious gift Jesus.  I found myself pondering the fact that Christmas isn't so much about a baby born in a manger, but about God becoming man in the form of that helpless babe in the manger.  It's difficult to fathom that kind of love.  In this day and age, we have the ability to look back on history and biblical prophecy, and see that that baby was born to save us from our sins.  It still amazes me.  It humbles me.

A Little Freebie for you

Just a quick note to let you know that I have another new freebie at my boutique.  It's 12 little, felt, costumed cuties that I made quite some time ago.  They're only available for a short time so grab them while you can.  Click on the preview to go to my boutique. (Sorry this link has expired)

Introducing "GIVE THANKS" and a little freebie

Boy, last week certainly was eventful.  My sweet hubby and I celebrated the 20th anniversary of our wedding day by taking our boys antelope hunting (Hmmmm....that doesn't sound quite right does it??? Don't worry, he'll make it up to me).

Next, a shirt-tail relation, on my husband's side of the family, went home to be with Jesus after 20 years of struggling with health problems related to an auto accident.  She was only 42 and left behind a husband and 3 teenage boys.  Please pray for them.  Then, last Saturday, my sweet, Auntie Claire passed away too.  She lived a long full life, even after being terribly burned over most of her body as a young child.  She too knew the challenges of living with a previous injury.  She was a beautiful woman.  One common thread between these two ladies, who had never met,  was the attitude of thankfulness for everyday that God had given them.  I'm thanking the Lord that I had the opportunity to know these dear ladies.  

In the spirit of thankfulness, I've just finished another new digital scrapbooking kit called "Give Thanks".  I just love the colors of fall and I've tried to include them in this charming little kit.  It's available right now in my boutique.  Here are the previews - feel free to click on the previews to see more:

And here's a freebie brag book page just for you.

Have a thankful heart everyday,

Introducing: Auntie Claires Quilts & a FREEBIE

Well, here it is, my latest kit that I aptly named "Auntie Claire's Quilts".  My Great-Auntie Claire was quite the quilter and seamstress.  She's quite a lady and she made the most beautiful quilts.  She can't make them anymore, but many, many homes have been graced by these precious treasures.  She put a little bit of herself in every one of them. 

So, in honor of this very, sweet, lady, I've created this little quilting and sewing kit.  I hope you like it.  Here's the preview (click on the previews to go to my boutique and learn more about this kit) :
