It has 15 papers and almost 60 ellies!!

Whats in a NAME??

ok, so we all know im a bad blogger! i wont even defend myself anymore! i just stink! lol!! annnnddddd, i wont even go into all the computer headacks ive had over the past 2 weeks or so... yup, more then usual, but im sick of moaning about it, so -just know i hate my computer! and am now completely bald!! lol!!

im just poping in super quick to show off a sneak peek of my latest kit.... im not 100% sure of a name yet, but i wanted "spumoni" in there somewhere, to go with the "ice cream parlor collection" theme, and since the colors are the same as spumoni icecream... anyways, the orig name was spumoni medley, but hubby came up with asti-spumoni (spumoni reminded him of spamonte -- the sparkeling wine, lol!!) so im kinda thinking thats cute! but havent commited yet. so let me know what ya'll think! asap! cuz im tring to get this in the store as soon as i can. :) so here it is! just a small look-see for ya'll!! ;)
