3.6.08 - Swing on a Star FREE Brag Book QP's with purchase of the kit

I've been working hard today on some designing for the store, and I have a freebie for you, but I just didn't get time to package it all up, zip it and upload it (not to mention posting it on the freebie sites etc.) So that, and the monk seal story will have to wait until tomorrow! (there's really only so much humiliation one person can stand in a 48 hour period! LOL)

But I do have a (kind of) freebie for you guys - and I wanted to let you know about the special anyway! Kami, of Ziggle Designs, and I took our Swing on a Star kit and made a brag book from it! 12 cute qp's that make a quick and easy scrapbook for you or a loved one! Kami had the great idea to give it away for a limited time if you purchase the kit, so there you go!

Here's the preview of the brag book (4x6 size) the brag book is automatically included with the download when you purchase the kit!!

ooh! and check out the adorable banner that Kami made for our kit at the bottom of this page!!

See you ladies tomorrow!

3.5.08 - So, you think I live in paradise huh? Oh! and a HUGE Digital Candy Freebie!

Ok, so many of you have commented on how lucky I am to "live in paradise". And I'll be honest, it's true! I AM lucky, however, I still have to deal with many things that you "mainlanders" just never have to face! I'll tell you about TWO such things today...

First - not much to say here, but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, I'll simply say this:

Yes, it IS a big, a REALLY stinkin' big MOLTING (do you see the yucky skin falling off the darn thing!?) lizzard! Go ahead and click on the picture to get a GOOD up close look at it! I dare you!

Yes, that is the window DIRECTLY ABOVE my bed (my stinkin' inflatable bed...). THIS is what I woke up to this morning. I composed myself long enough to take a picture (because, seriously, who is going to believe that this thing is in my house if I don't??)

Then it began to hiss (yes, I said hiss!) Dh was already gone, my two girls were no help at all and the little one thought he was in heaven running and chasing the *bleeping* thing. Then Kea (my Jack Russell) got in on the action and HE's running around trying to catch the STILL molting (can we all say "gross"?) lizard. I'm screaming even louder now because all I can think of is my dog eating the darn thing (who's probably sick with some skin flaking disease) and ME having to clean up the "aftermath".

Little man finally caught the darn thing and took it outside (a much better fate than the numerous geckos we caught this weekend that my husband sucked up with our shop vac (all together now..."Eeewwww"! Or the HUGE (some as large as 6-7 inches) venomous stinging centipedes that we often find in the house and have to CUT IN HALF and then flush (because even when you cut them in half they LIVE and run in different directions) or the HUGE (like nearly the length of my pinkie finger!) flying (yes I said flying) cockroaches that are ALWAYS in the house (and everyone elses in Hawaii too for that matter!) who Kea thinks of a tasty treat and catches and eats them before I can even find the bug spray.

I swear on my MacBook Pro (I love my laptop now....) that I am NOT making this up... ask my dear friend Cari who nearly moved out of my house while she was here and moved into a hotel because of the critters! (Cari, leave a comment and tell them it's true, or no meatball sub for you!!)

Oh, and with the length of this post I'll have to tell you my second story tomorrow. Suffice it to say that it involves me, a HUGE Hawaiian monk seal and my husband running away...

So, still think I live in paradise???

What? The freebie? Oh yeah! I'm taking the day off again, BUT the fab Digital Candy Element Team has a HUGE kit for you, so stop laughing at me and download your freebie!
