3.4.08 - Add on Mini Kit to Tiptoe!

So, while I haven't been getting too much sleep (read last post if you're wondering why!) I have been busy designing! I've been having some fun with my new kit "Tiptoe", doing some personal scrapping (with stuff OTHER than my own thank goodness!) and hanging out with the greatest group of gals that I've have had the pleasure to "meet" online in a loooong time (other than my fellow candy girls of course! LOL) They call themselves the "Sunshine Designers" or the "Collab Girls" and they have been responsible for those FABULOUS collaborative freebies that some of you may have heard of... Like Whimsical Wonderland and Love Actually.

If you're new to digi scrapping (or have been living under a digital rock since before December) you may not have heard of this WONDERFULLY TALENTED group of ladies, but Whimsical Wonderland was one of my very favorite freebie downloads ever (not to mention the BIGGEST). At any rate, this fab group of ladies has taken little ol' me into their folds and asked me to help with their Easter MEGA collab freebie...of course I had to say yes!!

So yippeee! I've been trying hard to make a freebie kit that will hold it's own with these ladies and we plan on "releasing" the as-of-yet-un-named freebie sometime this month (before Easter). I'll be sure to keep you all up to date on when and where you can get all of the freebies, so stay tuned!

Surprise TWO is my freebie for the day. I know that I said I was going to slow down with the freebies (and I am ....really I am trying) but I really wanted to spruce "Tiptoe" up a bit and add some pizazz (ergo the glitter, a first for me I think)! So here's the mini add-on kit, perhaps you'll like it enough to check out the full kit at Digital Candy (or not! LOL) I'm going to leave the link active for 48 hours here on my blog and then move the freebie to my store at Digital Candy - so get it now while you can!! The password is: tulips

Either way, have a great day scrapping (or, like most of us...just finding and downloading those freebies!)

Aloha!

3.3.08 Taking the day off ladies - Funny Story!

Sorry, no freebie today - busy working on other design stuff. I do have a big treat for all of you (announcement soon, so stay tuned!)

I thought I'd share a funny store though, you might get a bit of a laugh! So, picture this; my movers are gone now and we have NO furniture, so dh and I go to Costco to buy an AeroBed (the big queen size, double layer one) we have it all blown up and made, ready for a good night's sleep right? It's the least we deserve after a long day of packing...

We lay down, cuddle up and all is well. Shortly after falling asleep I wake up to use the restroom (as I do about a THOUSAND times a night) and realize that there must be a slow leak in our new bed because somehow dh and I have both slid to the center of the bed and are kind of "stuck" there! I try (unsuccessfully I might add) to roll out of the bed without waking dh... when I finally make my way to the edge and roll off, the pressure that I'm adding to the bed disappears and dh's side of the bed lowers even more causing HIM to roll off the bed! LOL

Before I return from the bathroom, dh pumps the bed back up a bit, I "plop" down on the bed and it nearly flips dh up and over to my side of the bed!!! LOL We can barely stop laughing at the absurdity of it all!

Now we're both laying on the bed as it inflates and the layers of plastic between the two "layers" of this double bed start rubbing together with the inflation, making a crazy loud "popping" sounds ( at this point it sounds so ominous that I am fairly certain that the whole darn thing is going to explode, with me laying on it no less)! Dh and I are nearly wetting ourselves laughing as I tell him that if this bed pops with me on top of it that I might just stroke out! Here it is 1:00 a.m. on our FIRST night without our bed and we can't believe that THIS is going to be our bed for the next 4 months!

What about the rest of the night you ask?? Well, just read the above section 3-4 more times and THAT is how well it went!! Not a lot of sleep, but a whole lot of laughter!!

See you tomorrow ladies!!
