Oops!

One of the things about scrapbooking is whether or not to include those not-so-great moments in life. You know the ones - the toddler throwing a tantrum, getting into fights with your significant other, the house is a mess and company is coming...the bad days. There are even worse days, of course, like when you end up getting injured or having an accident. Yep - THOSE days.

On Friday, Heather T. released the Oops Collection - a set of five packs dedicated to all those "oops" moments.

And, if you purchase all the above packs, you get this Add-On pack for free!

This collection is perfect for you if you have kids. As you all know, there are LOTS of oops moments when kids are around, lol!

Strangely enough, however, that isn't what I used the collection for. I did try to find photos of "oops" moments, but for some reason, they must be archived on another hard drive. But, I did find a moment that was pretty significant:

Yes, the aftermath of a fender bender. Whenever a car accident happens, even minor ones, it just puts a damper on the day. And on this particular day, my fender bender occurred on the way to a job interview. Needless to say, I was a little stressed that day. 

Anyway, the Oops collection is perfect for a moment like this or others. This collection is part of the February Mini-O's at Oscraps, so you can mix and match with other packs! The Mini O's sale runs through the end of Monday, February 29th - yes, Leap Day - so be sure to pick them up while you can! (Just click on the packs above to reach the Mini-O's.)

Introducing Melisande

It's Pickle Barrel time at Pickleberry Pop! Get dozens of designer mix and match packs for just $1 from February 19-22. And this month, Heather T. has a new collection consisting of three packs: Melisande.

First off, I was completely taken by the name of the collection. It just rolls off my tongue. It's like a magical name that I would use to name my daughter, if I had one! But I digress... Let's take a look at Heather's contribution for February's Pickle Barrel:
