A Christmas To Remember QP FREEBIE

This will be my last time posting before Christmas so I wanted to give you one more present from me. I wish all of you a very merry Christmas and I hope you get to spend time with your loved ones and make this a Christmas to remember! God bless each of you near and far.

You can find it by clicking HERE.

I made this layout of my sister, her husband, my niece Nicole, and their cat named "Sister". What a precious Christmas memory! Nicole was big into 101 Dalmations at the time and you can bearly make them out on her vest. It had to have been taken somewhere around 15 years ago. How I wish we still had Nicole here to celebrate Christmas with us. But our memories of her are still very near and dear.

Internet Problems & Christmas Around The World

I am sorry to say that my internet hook-up is having some real issues. This is the first time I have been able to get on internet all week and I feel like I'm going crazy. I got hit with a Trojan horse virus and I have tried so many different things to get it up and going. Don't know what I did to get here now but I will keep working until it goes kaput again. I know that there are a lot of Christmas Around The World fans wanting to collect all the parts to this mega kit from all the designers. I am going to try to upload my part to 4-shared after I get done here. If for some reason you can't download it yet, please try again later. I am off work tomorrow, Friday the 12th, and will try to talk it through with tech support so I can be fully functioning. Wish me luck and I will talk with you again as soon as I can. Arghhhhh! I tried to add the pics of my part of the kit and it won't let me. It says that Internet Explorer is not able to display the page! I have had to reboot my computer 3 times now just to be able to leave this message. I will post it now before I get hijacked again.

My Christmas Card to You and a Freebie QP

I am getting in the holiday spirit now and have designed a Christmas Card QP freebie for anyone who wants to grab it. I am going to participate as a designer in the "Christmas Around The World" blog train. I remember how excited I was last year to collect all the freebies from each of the designers. The designers all use the same color scheme and after the kits are collected, they make one awesome MEGA kit! The Christmas Around The World blog is scheduled to begin next Friday, December 12th. I will give you all the details so you won't miss out.

You can pick up the freebie here.

And here is my Christmas card to you! I hope that this holiday season finds each of you happy and healthy. So much has happened in this past year for me personally. Looking back and reflecting on it makes me appreciate the love of my family, friendships (new and old), my health, and that I have a job. I know not everyone has been that fortunate and it may have not been a good year for everyone, but I pray that this holiday season gives each of you a chance to reflect on the blessings that you DO have.

Hugs from me! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Frosty Wonderland Kit Freebie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are now launched into the official Christmas season as was evident by the shoppers out on "Black Friday". I know I was a little worried what the sales might be like since this is the first holiday season I worked in cosmetics. My counter's sales almost doubled over what was sold last year. That was a shock! But, I guess if the ladies can't afford a new purse or pair of shoes, they will spend money on a new lipstick. That same day I had one of my ladies quit and a couple of others were arguing over whether one of them stole a sale from the other. Oh my, it was enough to make my head spin! The two that were arguing talked it out and seem to be getting along now. I love the Christmas season, but I hate what the pressure does to ordinarily nice people, (shoppers and salesclerks). So, needless to say, I have been dealing with my own stress and I am getting this kit out to you a little later than I wanted to. I loved working with this kit and I hope you all enjoy it! Take a deep breath and let your holiday stress go. Remember to give people your smile, you never know what they are going through and your smile just might be just the thing they need. Besides it's FREE just like this kit! Download "Frosty Wonderland" HERE.

If you make some layouts with the kit please send them to me and I will post them here so everyone can see YOUR creative talent! I personally can't wait to see them!

Having a Difficult Week!

Sorry I haven't checked in for awhile. Work has been hectic, my husband home for a week (he would rather I spend time with him after I get off work than on the computer..lol), and my Great Uncle, Delton, passed away this morning from complications due to a massive heart attack. I have also come down with a sore throat today and am hoping it doesn't get me down.

My oldest daughter and her husband are spending their 10th anniversary in Vail, Colorado in a little villa. She was so excited when I chatted with her a little while ago. She said it is gorgeous and I reminded her to take lots of pics for me to scrap. Their kids (Kendra,9 and Myles, 6) are spending tonight with my pregnant daughter and her husband and I guess she is having a difficult time getting them to bed. LOL! Good practice for her.

The "Frosty Wonderland" QP just hit 600 downloads! Wow! I guess you like it! I know I said I wanted 50 comments and I would give you the kit, but that was before 4shared started requiring email addresses from commentors. I have 41 comments, so I am going to give you the kit just as soon as I can. You can call it a Thanksgiving present from me because it will probably be Thanksgiving Day before I can get it uploaded and on here. But I will have it available to you soon. Thanks for all those wonderful comments, by the way! It sure is good to hear from you.

I hope all of you get to spend some wonderful memorable time with your families for Thanksgiving!

Frosty Dreamland and a QP Freebie!

I had a nice long weekend, the first one in a couple of months, so I had some time to work on a new kit that I have called "Frosty Wonderland". I made a QP freebie for you that you can download below. I really like this one with it's pretty blue color and all the snowflakes. The weather here in Missouri has changed to a wintry feel and snow should be falling anytime soon. It has put me in the mood for making this wintry kit. My husband, George, helped alot with this kit. He gave me lots of ideas of what I should include in it; the sled, snowballs, frame, and helped with figuring out the name for the kit. So thank you, dear! He is really starting to get behind me now with designing kits. I think it still drives him crazy that I spend so much time at the computer but he can actually see that this is my passion and I think he is one of my biggest fans now! He was asking me earlier this evening after I finished the kit what it would take for me to start selling my work. I'm not ready to sell yet, so if you want this kit...please leave comments on this freebie and if I get.......ummmm....let's say,50 comments, I will put the whole kit up for free! Considering that almost 300 downloaded the "Vintage Victorian Baby" quick pages it shouldn't be too hard for you!!

I inserted a picture of my new grandson, Nickoli, into this QP.

The FREEBIE QP has no title on it or picture. You can download it HERE! I hope you enjoy it and remember...if I get 50 comments on this QP, you get the kit FREE! And everything in the kit is not shown on the QP!!!
