I had so much problems posting on my blog yesterday that I gave up!! I dont know what the problem was but things kept deleting themseleves and I couldnt believe it. I wanted to through my puter against the wall. When I get to that point I have to stop, take a deep breath and stop what I am trying to do. It is not the end of the world. So you will receive the freebie that you would have gotten yesterday.

Here is a wonderful QP that I made with a collab kit that I did with Marsha for our monthly chat challenge we have. It was sad because no one ended up posting any layouts so these QP's went to waste. So I decided to go ahead and give them away on my blog. Here is the preview of that QP.


Here is the link to pick it up at. This is a personal use only QP and not shareable. If you think a friend will like it then send them here to get it. Thank you in advance to adhering to this request. www.scrappinggarden.com/april/als_fallflourish_postingbonus02.zipPlease leave me some love if you like the QP I miss getting messages and comments on my blog. :( Dont you feel sorry for me hehehe.

I know you will enjoy their blogs as much as I have. They are such fun places to visit!!

Well, that is it for today. Enjoy the freebie and check back tommorrow because you never know when there will be another!!!

Whew!! I think I have finally gotten my Christmas shopping finished!! My DH's birthday is on Jan 1st so I have his b-day present all ready too!! I got him an 8gb Nano and a stero system for it also. It is a Sony and has a CD player with it also. I am sure it will end up being mostly for the whole family. At least the stero part as we no longer have anyway to play music except in our vehicles. I was hoping to have another freebie for you today but for some reason I am having problems with my hotmail account and photobucket. It is taking so long for it to load up that it is kicking me off of them. GRRRR!!!...

I appreciate all of the comments I got on my pictures of Mira. I was very surprised when I popped them up on the computer and they came out so well. With just a little photo shopping mostly with the levels they were amazing!!! I still have tons of presents to wrap and cards to get out which I dont know if that will happen yet. If I am able to get my programs to work properly I will get a freebie posted later.

Take care all and have a great day!!

Sorry it's been so long!!

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted anything. My life has turned topsy turvie and I have not had any time at all to post anything!! I have gotten more involved with taking pictures and recently have taken so awesome photos of my Great-Niece. I will share them with you now!









I am learning to take my camera off of program and use Manual which means f-stops and the whole shi-bang!!

Anyways, enough of that I have a small freebie for you from my First Frost Kit extras that did not make it into the kit. So without further ado here it is:



Here is the link: www.scrappinggarden.com/april/als_firstfrost_paper34.zip

You can view the whole kit here:

and the add-on here: http://www.scrappinggarden.com/shop/product.php?productid=17832&cat=0&page=2

I am going to try real hard to keep up with my blog now and have more freebies for you in the coming weeks. I definitely know that after Jan. 1, I will be freed up with more time to work on my blog. I hope that everyone's Thanksgiving was great and you got enough turkey to last you until next year. I know I did!! LOL Have a wonderful day and enjoy the freebie!

SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!!

Boy do I ever have a lot to catch up on!! The Doctor has changed my medication and I am already feeling so much better! It has given me a lot more energy and the pain is totally gone. I am still taking the Methadone but am wheening off of it and I will know exactly what the meds are capable of as soon as I am totally off of that.
What I have been able to do though is some designing. I have a lot of new things to share with you and hopefully I will have time tommorrow to completely share it all with you as well as give you another freebie. Chantal has been busy with more Quick Pages for you and you know how talented she is. I also have a freebie up my sleeve for you myself. So hopefully I will continue to have the good energy to follow through with what I have planned.

Anyway, I have my first Commercial Use Grab Bag. It is called This & That because that is exactly what it is. A bunch of This and That. I had a fun time making it and so far it seems to be a hit. Here is the preview:

It is on sale for $3.00 until Midnight on May 14th which then it will be revealed. Some of it will go into a This & That kit but not all of it so it is best you not wait so you can take advantage of this great deal. You can find it here: http://www.scrappinggarden.com/shop/product.php?productid=16834&cat=0&page=2


The next item on the agenda is the Bette's Butterflies. It is a promotional kit. It has been extremely popular. If you spend $10.00 in the store not just my store but $10.00 in the whole site you will get this cute kit automatically in you cart. This kit was made in rememberence of my Sister's Mother - in - Law. Her name was Bette. She loved Butterflies and had a huge collection of them. She was the most sweetest lady I know. She had a lot of bad behavior to deal with from her husband and her only daughter, she was a queen through it all. I never heard her speak a cross word or purposefully be mean or spiteful to anyone. I looked up to her and was always considered part of the family. So heres to you Bette. This is my tribute to you!!:



Tuesday of this week at 7:00PM Eastern time Marsha and I had our usual Grow Your Element Challenge Crop/Chat. No one showed up. :( We were very sad about it but it gave us both a chance to catch up and plan some more fun things for our up coming challenges. Anyway we decided to try it again so this coming Tuesday May 13th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time we will try it again. We hope to see you all there as we really missed getting to chat with each one of you. This months kit is called A MOTHER'S TOUCH. This kit is more to the elegent side of things and has some fun elements and papers. It is on sale for $3.00! We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. How the challenge works is you come to our chat and get the elements from the challenge. They all match the featured kit named above. Then you you use the elements as much as you can without taking away from the balance or construction of you layout. We want the focus to stay where it belongs, your picture. Here are the previews of the kit:


You can find it here: http://www.scrappinggarden.com/shop/product.php?roductid=16821&cat=0&page=1

We hope to see you at the crop!!

I guess that is enough information for today. I hope you all have a wonderful evening and come back tomorrow as I hope I will have a goodie or two for you!!

Happy Scrapping

FINALLY A NEW POST11

I have not been a very good girl about blogging this past month. I have had my son visit and then have had a hard time keeping myself healthy. From headaches to the stomach flu it has almost been way too much for me. Of course all of this has made it really hard on my Fibromyalgia. The weather has been popping back and forth inbetween nice warm spring weather to bitter cold with snow!! Not good for someone with Fibromyalgia.

I have a couple of new kits out and they both are on sale. The first kit is Spring Garden. It is on sale for $3.75. There was such a good response to the sale I decided to extend it until the end of the month.

Here are the previews:





You can find the kit here: http://www.scrappinggarden.com/shop/product.php?productid=16586&cat=0&page=2 Again on sale for $3.75 that is a 42% savings!!!

The next new kit I have is A Mother's Love. This is another Shabby Chic Whimsical Mother's Day Kit. This kit uses many of this years popular Spring Colors! Here are the Previews:







This kit is also on sale. The regular Price is $5.00 now $3.75.
