Who wants a little freebie?

Hi everyone, hope you are all well and had a Great Christmas :)
we had a lovely time, we went to our youngest daughters house for Christmas dinner and All the Family went to our oldest daughters for Boxing Day dinner..
It was great spending time with ALL the family together, I could scream though my camera battery died and my other camera took terrible pics :( I had to delete most of them..grrr.. It's a Fuji FinePix S7000 and for the life of me I can't get the settings right... that's one of our Ellie, can you see the wand she is holding how blurred it is? most of them had spots on them like that a lot of the pic was clear and then the blurry bit's...:'(
I am just hoping the girls got some good ones of the kids and will bring their memory cards for me to get them off..

I have been testing a great new product from Megadoodle, it's called a Stuffing Style, it's Great! you can use it for so many things, it has a textured fur look to it..it's on Sale just now at these and other stores..

Scrappin Freestyle

Commercial-Use.Com

I adore it..so much that I made a few freebies to share with you all.....
here is the preview..

Here is the link to Download them, please say a little Thank you if you do like them enough to download..:)
Well I hope you all have a Wonderful New Year...All The Very Best from me and Mine to You and Yours, keep safe and may 2009 bring you Health, Peace, Love and Happiness
Bye for now..

Sneak Peek and a Freebie

Hi everyone, hope you're all set for the Christmas Holiday?
I have been busy wrapping pressie's up today and didn't realize just how much I had actually got! just after lunch I got a call from my mum asking me to go shopping to Asda with her, it was chaos! the car park was packed so dad dropped us off and went home and I gave him a call when to pick us back up again...the shop was a nightmare, why do people get so bad at holiday time, you would think the shops were not opening up again for weeks! let alone closing for a day or so...
Hopefully I have all my shopping in now, well apart from my veggies so first thing Tuesday I am going to get them and that's my lot! whatever I haven't got now we will do without...lol..
We did bag a bargain though today! I got a text from a friend to say that the

Dora Doll House that our 2 daughters were going to get for the kids were on special in a store on the retail park so off we dashed, it was £97.89 knocked down to £29.99!!! so we couldn't leave it there at that price! isn't that Great! it just shows how much we are being ripped off if a store can afford to knock it down so much! I have been trying to add a link for a slide show to show off layouts but I just can't for the life of me figure it out, I think I will have to study some more..:(
I received an email from a lady showing me what she had done with some of my BB pages and they look Great!isn't that baby just the cutest!! just look at those Gorgeous big dark eyes!
Thank You so much Mara for showing me what you have used them for :)

I have been testing another new Style for Bannerwoman, it's Great! she sure can turn them out! she has named it Glitter Foam Style and here is a Sneak Peek, just look at all of the colours and different styles in these!! they should be in her stores early January....

I got to make you a little freebie with them and they can be found at the link below, here is the preview, hope you can use them..

please leave a little love if you download them :)
Here is the link..
Have a Great Week and try to stay calm!! lol...

DAC Blog Party QP2

Here is another of my QP's that I made for the DAC Blog Party week from my portion of the kit, you will find the link below..

We had a good day today, us girls, well my daughters and I, we were putting up the Christmas tree at our oldest daughter Samantha's house, Julie, our youngest is a dab hand at putting tree's up, she dresses them Beautifully! and Samantha gets her to do it every year :)
When the little one came home from Nursery she was made up, her little face was a picture, and I had done all our Granddaughters a letter from Santa so when she wasn't looking we dropped it onto the mat in the hall and pretended the Post Man had delivered it, she is 4 in April and was amazed when I read it out to her, to think that Santa had wrote to her..lol..
it's the little things like that which make Christmas Special for me...she is in her Nursery Nativity play the week after next so is going around singing of Snowmen and snowdrops just now, I can't wait to see it although I best take my tissues..:( lol..I am a big old softie.
Well it's time I wasn't here so I will love you and leave you with the link for the QP..enjoy and leave a little love if you like it enough to download...please :) oh and come back soon for the last one...

Another DAC Blog Party Freebie

Hi again, whoowhoo, another Award! this time from June over at Cen's loft:)

I am passing this onto these lovely ladies in the hope that they don't already have it...lol..

Melo @ Digital Arts Cafe
Brenda @ Millstream Cottagae
Sharon @ Scrapcat's Scrap Crap
Cindy @ Cindyrelly's Corner

last night I was testing a Mega Bow action for Megadoodle and got a bit carried away..lol..so here is the result to share with you, I made a couple of each bow in the different papers from my Blog Party kit so I am going to share them with you, hope someone can use them..

It's a bitter cold day here and very slippery underfoot, the frost is thin on the ground but it's not thawing at all, it's dusk now and the sky looks ominous, we have been told to expect snow overnight...one of our Son-in-Laws was supposed to be working in Manchester today, which is about 15 miles away from here and they have over 4inches of snow,he was unable to work as he is a builder and had to come back home, a journey of usually 15 - 20 mins took him over 3 hours! because there was a bad accident on the "Road from Hell" better known as the M6!! so bad in fact that everyone had to do a U turn on the Motorway and get off the way they got on there... I just hope nobody as seriously injured..I haven't seen any news yet..
Well that's all for me for today, I have another couple of gifts for you so pop back again soon

Here is the link - sorry it's fixed now :(

Take Care

I have to say a BIG THANK YOU to ALL you lovely people that downloaded my kit and left me a lovely comment too! I know I am not up in the league of some of the Wonderful Designers out there but it's the making and sharing with you that keeps me going, and although I am happy if someone does like my stuff enough to download it, when they actually take time out to leave me some love it makes it so worthwhile...

my poor old computer is giving me some gyp at all the downloads!! hehehe
Here is the last of the 4 QP's I have made for you with June's lovely Ellie & Jo kit..

I also got an Award from the lovely Lone , and was so pleased too I may say, although passing it onto someone who doesn't already have it will be hard..but I will be back to add the links to Blogs I am passing it onto very soon :)

well that's it from me for now, come back soon I am uploading some more little freebies to pass onto you :)
Here is the link to the QP..Enjoy
Bye for now
