hey I am probably going to be off the computer for a day or two--I think my computer is infected with a spyware, these ads wont stop popping up and it disabled my task manager, and reset my homepages and desktop to this ad to buy this one spyware, so I am going to have to wipe my hardrive down and i dont know how long it will take.

I promise once I get this squared away on my computer I will make it up, July will probably be late.

Sorry
and for those of you wanting to leave me nasty comments that if I cant post a freebie when I say I will then blah blah blah....just dont bother comming back to my blog.

thanks

Last Day of Birthday Blitz and Update

Ok so next months kit may be a little late, I have over 4 pages of sketches scanned in and I havent even started coloring them yet. BUT all the papers are done, well almost, lol. I LOVE these colors!

ANYWHO I FINALLY HEARD FROM BRITTNEY!!!!

She is alive and well kinda at a loss, STILL no internet, and worst of all she thinks she may have to move back to Oklahoma. I kinda yelled at her for being out of contact for so long, I was worried sick that something happened to her.

She said she has been designing, and has a few new kits done already (she just cant uplaod them yet)

So lets leave her some encouraging words!

HERE IS THE LAST LINK OF BIRTHDAY BLITZ

Thank you ladies you are too funny

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for ALL your kind words!

Its funny most of the ladies who sent me a message or comment about saying sorry for not saying TY all the time are the ones I have their scrn name recognized because they do leave so many kind words...

I know everyone has a life and kids or grandkids, I do NOT expect a long TY for everydownload (cause I break them up into smaller downloads) so PLEASE do not think you have to say thnak you everytime! LOL just every one in awhile stop by and say TY just to keep my spirits up --man i am demanding arent i?! lol

You ladies are fantastic and I am going to make a little something for you!
(be on the lookout in a week)

RAKing and Freebie day 5

Man this month has just been crazy. I got asked to make a fan blinkie for an awesome upcomming store as well as Headers, Category Graphics, background....etc the store? My newest store PrettyScrappy.Com! I am so happy that Casey (the owner and friend) loves it! Infact the blog and store are already wearing my designs! Not to mention I had the June SAG kit to make, 3 other Collab kits not to mention I am STILL not finished with next months SAG kit (FYI SAG=Scrap-A-Ganza).

And throughout all this craziness (not to mention the crazy things at home) my faithful readers who come to my blog and always leave a comment have shone a BRIGHT Light in a World of Crazy Darkness.

Thank You to all of you and you know who you are!

I will be trying to contact you with a special gift. It may take me awhile but I will get you!

I can always count on you to leave a kind word for the Large FREE Kits I give away EVERY month.

It is a little sad out of the hundreds of downloads--and on a few thousands, only a tiny tiny few can say thank you. You have the time to hunt for freebies but you can't say even TY for all our hard work?

It makes us Designers wonder why we even give away freebies-especially freebies the size I give out. Yes it is part of a kit and I do sell the add-on in my store but what I give away here is more than enough to make a few pages with-heck some could even make a whole book.

I made a promise however that I would continue to give away monthly themed kits for a year--untill FEB of next year.

If things keep going the way they are though and some people leave rude comments the SIZE of the freebies will ebgin to dwindle.

For those of you who have been here from the begining and have ALWAYS left comments even when I didnt give anything away--You will get a LARGER portion as my thanks.

Sorry to ramble

here is your FREEBIE

I used a sheet of stickers that are words/phrases and cut out a large bracket shape, and I used the scraps left over to cover the 2 Chipboard letters. Not only did I ink the tan bracket shae I cut out, but also the sanded areas of both pictures.

The journailing reads as follows: Everytime I look at these pictures I am stunned, not by the quality, or how beautiful you both are; but at the fact that you both, on the same day let me take a pictures of you!
