Oh my goodness, what a crazy week! I'm about to pull my hair out over the results of my being spammed. I'm very thankful that the only damage done was to my hotmail account which effected my list of contacts. I opened up a new gmail account but ended up having a problem with sending out multiple emails. Next step was to set up a gmail "group account" which did not prove to be what I was hoping at all. Today, Jess set me up a new hotmail account because sending out multiple emails through hotmail had never been a problem. Well, after about 12 emails with that new hotmail address the account was blocked. I went through the steps to report the "block" only to see that page after page of complaints had been posted today alone regarding the same problem that I was having. It had to do with trying to send out multiple emails once again --- there seems to be a huge concern about spam being sent out in large groups of emails. Some of the older post stated that it had taken as long as 8 days for the block to be removed. I can recieve emails on the new TDianeKellyKC@hotmail.com but can not reply or send----stinks, huh!!

I am going to post here and on facebook and am asking you guys to help by passing on the following news:

We are leaving for Big Cedar in Branson on Friday morning (July 3) and will not be back until Monday night (July 6) for a family vacation. I am really looking forward to this. Jessica is very excited as well because Clint and the kids will be meeting up with us. It's going to be a real Kelly Family Weekend Getaway!!! =)

---------------Once we get back -----------------

Jess and I want to show our appreciation for your sticking with us through this past week-----so this is what we've decided to do. Starting on Tuesday, July 7 to Wednesday, July 15th we will be offering a Page Kit Sale. 5 for $50, so for every 5 you order it will be $50 -- if you order 6 kits it would be $50 + $13 -- for 15 kits it would be $150 -- get it? :)

FYI -- I will TRY to send out an email Tuesday morning letting everyone know that we have paypal set up for a "5 for $50.00" button I will start shipping out packages on Wednesday evening/Thursday morning. For all the locals I will be at the firestation next weekend (July 10-12) so you can stop by to pick up kits, visit, &/or shop if you wish. Please feel free to invite or bring with you a friend(s). If you would like to crop with us just send me an email so I can make sure that we have enough tables for everyone.

Oh yeah, another FYI---Jess is working on another 4th of July layout with an eagle & also one to do with a Water Park. I'm also working on a couple new ones----an Uncle Sam 4th of July & then a Worlds of Fun. We hope to have those up sometime next week.

If you would like to ensure that you get the packets you want, you may go ahead and email me with your "wish list" but I will not take payment for this special sale before Tuesday, July 7 Please note: if the held kits are not picked up by SATURDAY, July 11th I will put them back "on the shelf" to make it fair to everyone else. :)

Okay, I think that about covers everything. Atleast I certainly hope so. I feel as if my brain is on overload with all that's been going on this past week! Thank God, He is on my side else I'd be about ready to throw in the towel! =)

I really hope you enjoy your 4th of July weekend with family and friends! I pray that all of us will take the time to recongize how blessed we are to live in our AMERICA!

God Bless America,
Diane
