Last week I met some lovely Chicago bloggers at Rockit in River North for drinks & appetizers. Rockit is one of my favorite places in Chicago. Downstairs you will find a fantastic restaurant & upstairs -- a lively bar with pool tables {fun}!

A special thank you to the people at Rockit! The event went so well thanks to the wonderful venue! I would not hesitate to host another event at Rockit. Great drinks, fabulous atmosphere & delicious food. Mix that with a group of fabulous bloggers and it's a recipe for a wonderful night.

Here are a few photos from baby Sarah's shoot. She is such a good baby! And if it isn't obvious, she's super cute & has the most adorable little personality. Just look at that face!

I have not one but TWO new kits releasing at ScrapMatters tomorrow! Can anyone guess the themes?? Hint **look at the colors!!**

One lucky commenter will win credit to my shop! I will announce the winner on my FB fan page!
