Lots of Goodies.

OK everyone, been away a few weeks but I'm here now and I've got lots of stuff to show you. Let's start with some awesome freebies that Kathryn Balint is giving away at her store over at KB & Friends. I don't know til when they will be available , but I certainly would hop on over and fill up my cart. She has some great kits.

This LO was created with her new kit, Petal Pushers. It is not a freebie and you can find it at ScrapArtist.



After you've checked this out you should run on over to HeritageScrap where they
is a great sale going on right now and wonderful challenges where you can get some great QP's. The site is just full of super kits , especially for those who love Heritage and have lots of old photos to scrap.

Here is my contribution;

These two LO's were also done with kits created by Royanna Fritschmann over at Divine Digital. The kits are "Creative Chaos" and "Out of This World" you can find them both right here.

Project 365

I am just loving all of the LO's I've been seeing around the sites for this project.
Soooooo many fantastic kits have been created and lots of freebie templates to use.
I have decided I am going to do mine on a weekly basis and do a LO a week for the 52 weeks in the year. I think I can handle it better that way than doing a LO a day.

Here is my first week and of course I'm late for my second, but it will get done..YES it will....lol



Credits - 365 Days by Royanna Fritschmann over at Divine Digital

Let me just say that some of the things on this LO were bought to me by Santa...:). My little dog Frida, was not, she's been here for awhile now. My second week will reveal what happened with some of things nifty gifts. Oh, the computer was not one of the gifts either, it's also been here awhile just like Frida.

Here is a Link..

Hey, so sorry I took so long to come back and post this link for the 365 day project.
This one is at Divine Digital and I think you will enjoy downloading the PDF's they provide for this project. Here is the link. I'm a little under the weather so it will be a few days before I can come and post, but I'll be back. I've got some new LO's done and I want to share them with you. I've also taken my photos a day , from day 1 and I will also be posting those. Come back...hope to see you all soon..!!!!!

Happy New's Year Day..!!!!

Well, it's the very first day of the new year 2009. We all need to remember to not put 2008 on any documents for the first few weeks .....lol. I always manage to screw up a check or two. It was a very quiet day for me. I spent the day resting at home, since the holidays usually takes a toll on me. I am thinking of getting on the train with the 365 Day Project for scrappers which is being sponsored by a few blogs and sites. It is definitely a great way to be able to scrap at least one picture a day. I will be back to post some links to some special kits that are being created just for this project. Here is a LO I just finished using the new Guild Kit for the month of January at DSAG which comes out tomorrow along with "The Notebook".

It's Almost 2009 !!!!!!

Another year has come and almost gone. Is it really any different from year to year ? I suppose we all need an end so we can begin again. Every year I am always asked the same thing, "what are your resolutions for this year". I use to give it lots of thought, but I don't any more. Every year someone wants to lose weight, someone wants to be more efficient, exercise more, take more "me" time, learn something new, make more time for family, stop smoking, stop drinking, and on and on. The thing is that whatever it is we want to do different, we can do it any time we want to and the right time is always when WE are ready, be it today, tomorrow a month or year from now. That is why I would like to wish everyone a fantastic and Blessed New Year may God guide your spirits and take you to where you need to be. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful stories and creations with me and I hope that we will continue to do so this coming year. I am soooo looking forward to it. Scrapping is on hold 'til all the holiday madness is behind us.....(((((((hugs to all))))))))

Happy Christmas Eve...!!!!!

Hi, I am sitting here at my desk drinking my tea and getting ready for Santa. Yes, he will be coming tonight to fill all the little childrens hearts with joy. I am very grateful that I am able to contribute to some of the little ones wishes this year. I am thinking of all those families who are not able to do that this year,my heart aches for them. There will be many little hearts and big ones too hoping and praying for such things as food, shelter, a home and especially for Daddies and Mommies to be home for Christmas. Let us all be thankful and pray for all of us that we may see all of the wonderful blessings we do have and pray for all of those who are less fortunate than we are. I truly believe with all of my being that God is ever present in our lives and it is us that turn away and sometimes lose him. Enjoy your time with your family and friends. Have a joyful Christmas and take a little time to be thankful. We all are truly Blessed. OK, I'm off the podium ..lol. Take lots of pictures, I can't wait to see them all....special ((((((hugs))))) to all of you. !!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!

Almost Here..!!!!!

OMG, where does the time fly ???? I can't believe Christmas is almost here. I still have some shopping left to do and I can't even go there right now...yikes. !!!!. Today My DH and I went over to TRY and get something done but it was impossible. I must be getting really old because I just couldn't take the huge crowds, so, I guess I will have to get up early tomorrow or the next day and head out and get it done. I however have been scrapping some LO's tonight. I kind of have some mojo left and I am taking advantage of it before it goes into hiding. I've also been wondering if I will make any resolutions this year...since I never keep any..maybe not...lol.

OK, here are some of the LO's I've been working on...I'll link you to the kits so you can check them out.....


This one was done with...Faerie Holiday Scrapkit -DigiZines...find here.



These two were done with SantaLand Express -DigiZines...find here.



These two kits are from Kathryn Balint..Deck the Halls..it is here.

Kathryn Balint and her Velma

Kathryn is now selling at ScrapArtist.com. along with her mother,Velma. They are both creating some awesome kits but are going to continue with the site KB & Friends. All of her new designs will be sold at SA.

CT for Heritagescrap...

Well, I have been accepted to CT for the super designers at HeritageScrap.com. I took one look at the call at DST and had to apply, heritage LO's are just so awesome. There are not very many kits that cater to this style but you will definitely find all sorts of beautiful ones at this site...here take a look:

This LO is using Warmest Wishes by Lynn Griffin;

Finally, It's Finished

Well, after a week sitting in my living room totally naked, my tree is finally decorated. My DH took down the boxes from the closet and I was at last able to put up all the ornaments and light up the tree. I admit, it gets more difficult as the years go by but after it's done, you feel so good. I still have some shopping to do and I'm hoping I get it done this week.

There are so many new digital kits out there for the holidays it's so hard not to buy them all. I'm lucky to be able to be on a few CT's and it's not hurting my budget. I just finished some new ones with Royanna Fritschmann's new Holiday kits and with Lily Designs "Snow Queen". Here are the LO's...I hope you like them. !!!!!

It's Just Not the Same

Geeezzz, I tried to go shopping today for some Christmas presents and WOW, I was so totally overwhelmed. It got me thinking about Christmas's past and I realized that so much has changed. I remember when I was a kid, I definitely looked forward to seeing what Santa had gotten me under the tree and was so happy for whatever it was. As I walked down the aisles of the store I couldn't help but stop and look at the frenzy of people buying toys for the kids (which probably they couldn't even afford). What happened to Family Gatherings and enjoying the day together, playing games and eating all those delicious meals.? We have soooooo commercialized this day that I actually thought "This is not fun for me". I am still struggling to put up the tree and the decorations outside but my energy has just died. I do hope that it will come back soon, otherwise it's gonna be a "gloomy" Christmas.

OK, here is the link to the WorldWide Christmas Scrapbooking Freebies blog. You will find all sorts of goodies to create all of your LO's for the holiday season. Many wonderful artists have created kits for all of us to enjoy.

Here are some new LO's from me....TFL.

Happy Birthday MOM !!!!

On Saturday we went to my sister's house to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday...yikes.!! We told her we were going to sing to my niece whose birthday was on the 5th of Dec. and my mom's was the first Monday. Between my sister and I we got her a laptop. She has been wanting one for the longest time, so we figured we would get it for her. It's going to be interesting to see how long it takes her to learn how to use it, since she can't even get her messages off her cell phone....lol. !!!!! I guess we will have to find the time to teach her little by little. Here are some photos and a few LO's..

Hanging with Santa

Kit - Oh What Fun it Is - Kathryn Balint at KB & Friends..


Hi guys, it's been a really gloomy day around here today. I've managed to create a few LO's though. I wanted to get out and do some shopping but as much as my mind wanted to my body was yelling...go to bed, go to bed...so I obeyed..lol. Christine Haskell and Amy Head have created this really cute kit called Homespun Christmas , take a look:



You can find it at NDIS Here is a LO I did with it...

I have been working on some LO's for the new December Guild Kit over at DSAG. I just can't wait for all of you to get a look at it. It is full of elements and it is absolutely gorgeous. It's so well worth becoming a member of the Guild, since every single month these ladies are just amazing with their creativeness. There isn't a kit that I have not loved since I have been a member. Hop on over and take a look you will all just drop your jaws when you see the kit for this month. However, you will not see it 'til the 1rst of the month, this Monday.

Happy Pre-Thanksgiving Day...

Hi everyone, I'll bet you are all getting ready for the feast tomorrow. I am busy chopping up my veggies and preparing some side dishes, so I won't be so rushed tomorrow. I will be spending it here at my home as we do every year. My sister will not be here for the first time in many years. She is traveling with her family and she will be missed. :(. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. I so enjoy making the dinner for my family and giving thanks for all of the blessings we have. I'll be back later, just taking a break from the preps.
