Katie has had a busy week.  She’s had to deal with a financial roller coaster from a publisher, creating several felt fruit projects, mentally prepare for turning 21, take care of a very emotionally uncertain 17-month old, and discovered that her font was actually published along with her layout.  We also got to take some time and do things together as a family including a fun walk around the neighborhood.

We got a letter earlier this week stating that the company who published her most recent page was trying to avoid bankruptcy.  In order to do this they were offering most of their payees a 40% settlement.  We failed to get the paperwork to them in time (not that Katie was ever really able to decide if she wanted to or not in the limited time we had).  The response was due yesterday by 5pm.  We checked the mail this afternoon and her check for her layout was there waiting in the full amount (woot!)  We still have to get a check for her font that you’ll see in a second, but at least she’s got part of her hard-earned money so far.

Without further ado, I’d like to turn the focus over to the good news.  Katie was published in the most recent publication from Simple Scrapbooks.  This special publication is called, “Scrapbook Play With Photos.”  Her layout is featured as the second out of 145 layouts!  Her handwriting is also featured as a font throughout the entire magazine.  Her font will eventually be available to dowload online over at http://www.simplescrapbooksmag.com.  You can download her font from Katie’s blog.  Here are some photos of her layout and font:

Katie was also kind enough to take some photos of Paisley this week while I was at work.  They are absolutely adorable so I wanted to share them with you as well. There’s even one of Katie that she took of herself not knowing I’d post it ;)

We also had the chance to go on a nice family walk together this week.  Here’s some of the cute pictures we got of Paisley walking with us for the first time in our new neighborhood.

Finally, I just realized tonight that although most people I see everyday know that I am growing a beard, the ones I don’t see everyday (including family) don’t necessarily know that.  Here’s a picture Katie took of me a little less than two weeks ago when my beard was about six weeks along.
