Long Time and a few FREEBIES...

Hello all!! Boy it's been awhile. We are all moved and almost all unpacked. Still have my step-son and his family living with us so there are some things that can't be unpacked and setup until they move out. Which hopefully will be in the next few weeks. Two families in one house just don't work for too long. Anyway, what has been going on with all of you out there in scrapbook land? I haven't had the time to keep up so if there's something interesting let me know. Well, I wanted to pop in and say a big HI and give you guys some freebies. So, here goes...

Some more Baby's 1st frame freebies...

I'm still here...

Hello all!! Sorry I haven't been on for awhile. Been busy getting ready to move and I have my step-son and his family living with me too. We are moving this Friday so I will be without internet until Tuesday and probably won't have a chance to get online except to pay bills until a week after that. But rest assured I will be back with a FREEBIE for you when I return. Take care and have a wonderful 4th of July!! See you when I get back on!!

We are the Champions and a FREEBIE...

Hello all!! How's it going? Here it has been busy. Getting ready to move July 1st and I have been busy busy busy going through things and packing. I hate moving but at least it's a chance to get rid of some stuff that you really don't need. LOL!! Plus, we had baseball tournament last week. This is how it started...

At the end of the season we were in 5th Place out of 11 teams. We got a bye the first night but guess what on the second night we had to play the #1 team. Ut oh!! LOL!!! But guess what - WE WON!! And Tyler's previous coaches team was in 8th place and they won the first night and had to play the 2nd place team the second night. And they won!! So, between the two of us we got rid of the #1 and #2 team. The third night we had to play the director of baseballs team. Now we beat them early in the season but they had improved alot and this one I was scared of. The way they play here is there is no time limit but you play six innings unless one team is so far ahead the other team couldn't catch up. There is a run limit in each inning of 5 runs. So, anyway we were the home team and we were tied 3-3 going into the bottom of the sixth inning. Oh no we might have to play on since this is for the championship. Well, let me tell you Tyler came up to bat. He got a walk. Then he stole second base. That's right my son stole second base. The other team did make a throw to get him out and let me tell you if he had slid he would have been out. But the smart boy that he is or actually by accident he hopped over the tag and was safe at second base. Whooo hooooo!!! He said he didn't even know that he jumped over it. It didn't matter - he was SAFE!!! Then the kid at the plate got a hit and Tyler was on third and the boy that hit was on second base. Ok - now we are in good shape. The next hitter came up and hits a fly ball to the outfield - and the boy dropped it - so Tyler came home for the WINNING RUN!!! That was so neat!! He was so happy!! We won 4-3!! We were on our way to the championships!! Meanwhile my nephew Dillon was playing on another field playing the 8th place team that had beat the 2nd place team - and my nephews team lost. Such a bummer that Tyler and Dillon wouldn't be playing each other!!

So, Thursday night was the Championship and of course it rained a little before the game started. Then it rained off and on during the game. Again, we were tied 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning. And WE WON again 4-3!! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! I was so proud for Tyler because he hasn't never been on a team that made it past the first round before!! It was so exciting!! Check it out!!

A New Adventure and a FREEBIE...

Hey all!! How's it going? Been busy here with Baseball games. We had three games to make up due to the rain we have been having. We have made up two of them and won both of them!! Whoo hooo!! We have one more Friday night and then next week starts tournament play. How was your Memorial Day? We didn't do much really other than grilling hamburgers and hotdogs right here at the house. Spent Saturday cleaning the oldest sons room and packing up most of his stuff. We are moving July 1st and trying to get as much done before hand. A little everyday and maybe I'll be ready by July 1st!! LOL

My new adventure - Well, I use to sell Avon - but when I did they didn't have it online. I saw the other day Avon online and I thought wow - that would be great. So, I am now an Avon Representative again. I hope that you will stop by my shop and check it out!! You can get free direst delivery with a $30.00 order. I hope to see some new customers from my Digi family.

A FREEBIE!!! Been a little while since I gave you one huh? Well, I have another Frame Freebie for you!! Baby's 1st Tooth!!

Disappointed...

Hi everyone!! Been a lousy week - not lousy but dreary!! Been raining and cool for this time of the year. Haven't been doing much!! Too gloomy!! I must say that I am a little disappointed that my last few freebies have been downloaded over 100 times and I've had about 4 comments!! That is very disappointing!! Only takes a minute to say "Thank You". Now I know how those designers feel when they don't get comments on their items!!

Maybe I will be back tomorrow with a freebie!! Will see!! Check back with me!!

Spring Quiz

I took a quiz!! Check it out and see what kind of person you are.... Here is my results!!!




You Are Kids Playing



You are a free spirited soul. More than anything else, you are often just happy to be alive.

You are always laid back and cheerful. You enjoy whatever happens to come your way.



You are spontaneous and zany. You're the kind of adult who still runs through the sprinklers.

You don't take life too seriously. You try to have fun at all times, even when you're working.

What's Up, News, & a FREEBIE...

Hello all!! How's it going? Me, been busy and a bad blogger. Haven't been on this old blog-a-roni in awhile. How was your Easter? Ours turned out pretty good. On Saturday we went to the annual Egg Hunt at the park here. Here's a couple of photos I wanted to share with you....

Caden with the Easter Bunny - Daddy had to hold him because he wasn't getting near that Bunny by himself....LOL




Caden hunting Easter eggs - well if you can call it hunting!! They only had about 25,000 eggs laid out throughout the park. They split kids up by age and each age group went to a certain area in the park to hunt eggs. So, I only got photos of Caden since Tyler was in the 9 & 10 year old group and wasn't near us.



Check out how many eggs he got!! All of his had candy in them!! Some eggs did have tickets to win either a bike or a stuffed animal. My niece won a bike!! Photo below!!



Tyler, Caden, Dillon, Jordyn, & Raga - This is all the kids with my Mom and the bike that my niece Jordyn won.



Tyler had his face painted as a dog.... Caden had his painted but as soon as he got down from the chair he rubbed his face and poof it was almost all gone!! LOL




So, that was Easter - we spent Sunday at Bentley's parents for dinner and Caden hunted a few eggs but was more interested in riding in the Cozy Coupe....

Onto some NEWS you can use.....LOL - I have decided to get back into scrapping some after taking a much needed break. To start me off I have joined my wonderful and fun friend Terrell of Designs by TerrellS. You can find her designs at Divine Digital exclusively. I am excited about getting back onto a CT team and about being on Terrell's team.

Now, for the FREEBIE..... I have a QP for you using Designs by TerrellSs' "Boys Will Be Boys kit".

Here's a peek at the kit


And here's your FREEBIE QP.....

And here's my example using it!! Tyler, Caden, and a neighbor boy, Jo Jo playing in the leaves.


Hope you enjoy!!! Stay tuned for more goodies coming in the future!!

I'm still here...

OMG - I am still around everyone!! I know you thought that I had fell off the face of the earth, but I didn't!! Just been really busy!! My little one keeps me so busy!! With great sadness I have had to step down from all of my CT duties with all the wonderful sites and gals!! This saddens me so but I just didn't have the time to devote to them or my scrapping like I want!! So, to be fair to them and myself I am taking a break - and don't worry I will be around - just not as much!! I know that I have some frames to catch up on for you all!! I am not going to forget about those!! I will try and get you some this week!! Well, that's it for now but I will be back with more ramblings later!!

Hugs,
Melody
