An update on the Froggypond and a FREEBIE

2009-03-22T08:21:00.004-04:00

Well, have been doing a little "quality checking" for Kristmess. I was her first CT, at Gottapixel, way back when. Then I decided to try my hand at designing, and had to leave her team. As I have a "little bit" of time, here and there, she was very gracious to offer me the opportunity to "work" (actually, have fun) with her again.
You can see the awesome Kristmess designs in the Gottapixel.com store.
I found some useful information about how to go about SELLING right here on my BLOG.When I get some down time, I am going to set this up so you can purchase my designs until I am able to get back into designing with a "real" site.
Dyanna and Cheryl, former owners of The Scrapping Garden, have opened a new store. YEAH YEAH YEAH. Go to www.kisscraps.com to see the new store and gallery. Many of the designers from TSG have moved to Kiss ... it is definitely a site to check out.
As you know, I am preparing to market my home in a few weeks. I need to leave behind this huge house and move into a nice, cozy condo or townhouse. Since mom passed away, and my eldest son, Michael is "finally" able to move out on his own, I no longer need a 3 bedroom, two and a half bath house. I would much rather spend my spare time designing for you, rather than take care of house, pool, gardens, repairs ... well, you get the picture.
Today, my kids are all coming over, with a few of their friends, for a painting party. I have taken tomorrow off from work to finish, and probably "fix" mistakes the "kids" make today ... LOL.
In any event, check back here when you get the chance for more freebies, and insight into my life without design!
Here is a little QP freebie for you ... ENJOY.

I have left designing behind

2009-03-04T17:29:00.002-05:00

...at least for the time being. And, let me tell you, it was NOT an easy decision. Mom died on February 2, and March 1 was the anniversary of my Dad's passing. I have no siblings, and realized that I am IT! I am the "matriarch" of my family ... 2 sons, 1 daughter, and 1 granddaughter. It is almost terrifying; no longer have mommy and daddy to turn to. So, I rather impulsively decided to close my stores and step back from designing for a while. I need to clean out my house. I am putting it on the market in early Spring, hoping it will sell, and needing to purchase a condo for myself. Right now, I have a three bedroom, 2 and a half bath home, complete with inground pool, lots of lawns and gardens, and a huge driveway to clear in the winter. I am in upstate NY, and that can all be quite a hassle. I want a nice, two bedroom condo, where someone else takes care of all the outside maintenance, and all I have to do is have fun decorating the inside! Besides the daunting task of cleaning out mom's belongings, I also have "stuff" from my ex, two return visits from my lovely (adult) daughter, and still have my eldest son living with me, due to his past financial issues. So, as you can see, besides a basement and garage filled with the "stuff" from others, my plate is just FULL, FULL, FULL. I am really happy to see all the recent requests for me kits, though. So, I decided I am going to upload a few to FileSavr (no nasty viruses, yet), and offer them to my wonderful customers as FREEBIES. I hope you all enjoy them. Who knows what the future holds ... I may be back, full speed ahead, after my personal life has settled down a bit. Afterall, I am hoping that the "designer" is still lurking deep inside of me! Keep an eye on this blog for DOWNLOAD LINKS ... I actually have a kit in the making, and some completed recently, which I never offered for sale.

My Heart's Desire ~ QP Freebie

2009-02-19T20:12:00.003-05:00

Happy Valentines Day ... AND ... a freebie!

2009-02-14T06:53:00.003-05:00

I have not been around because my mom died February 2. Although she suffered from Alzheimers disease, she actually died rather suddenly. On Sunday, February 1, her body simply decided to "shut down"; 911 was called, she was unresponsive and eventually, became comatose. She passed painlessly and peacefully at 7:30 Monday morning. I joke that her body went to search for her mind, which was "lost" sometime ago! I am sure "she" is rejoicing her new life, in heaven, with God and all those who went "home" before her.

This photo was taken on Christmas day, 2008.

I am working on a gorgeous, vintage kit, to celebrate my mom. It is called 1923. You will definitely want to check back here, as well as my stores at TSG and Moo Two Designs, to watch for the preview and its release.

Now, for happier news!

This month at Moo Two Designs, you will find my kit, HEARTS AND FLOWERS, being offered as the Treasure Hunt, from February 15 to March 14. If you are not a member yet, head over to Moo Two, sign up at the site, and begin your search for this FREEBIE.

Here is the preview.

Now I have ANOTHER FREEBIE for you! I took part in the February color challenge at TSG. The result ... a mini kit in luscious, soft colors, including A Little Bitta Pink. Included are 5 papers and 15 elements.

If you are not already a TSG member, I strongly suggest you follow the link to the site, sign up, and take advantage of all the super challenges, freebies, and get to know the fun and dedicated administration, designers, CT, and members.
You will not regret it.

In the meantime, here is the DOWNLOAD LINK for A Little Bitta Pink! Looking forward to your comments on my gift for you.

Daily Download at The Scrapping Garden

A bit of news and a Holiday FREEBIE

2008-11-30T09:09:00.007-05:00

For those of you who do not know, my mom lives with me and suffers from Alzheimers disease. She has had a few medical setbacks lately, and is in the hospital right now. For this reason, I have not been "around" lately, and probably will not be a "regular" for a while. I want to thank everyone who has been so supportive of me and my designs.

April Sevigny and I have created the December Daily Download at TSG for you. It is a gorgeous kit. I have also designed an "add-on" which will be available in the store on December 1 for $2.00.

Also, if you purchase $10 worth of products from my store during the month of December, I will pm you a COUPON for this add-on, for FREE!

I would like to gift you with this HOLIDAY FREEBIE, too

So Much to Tell You

2008-07-21T09:30:00.002-04:00

I have been somewhat absent from the scrappin world for the last month or so, due to personal issues. I am now BACK, and have a wonderful kit to share with you. I am also proud to tell you I am selling my products at ScrapProfessor. It is an up-and-coming site with fantastic fun and helpful people. During my many sleepless nights, I designed a MEGA KIT which was inspired by my mom, who suffers from Alzheimers. I wanted to design a kit that was elegant, with rich, regal colors. My goal was to remind us that God is ALWAYS with us, AND ... there is always hope! Approx 200MB, created in 300dpi for printing quality. There are 30 papers and 66 elements for you to create layouts of your own inspiration. Kit Includes: 25 unique papers; no two alike 5 solid textured cardstock 4 frames 3 journaling blocks 5 lace doilies 5 ricrak 1 framed word art 3 folded word art ribbons 1 decorated wodden box 3 bows 1 pillow bow 5 buttons 4 lace embellished tags 1 old key, feather decorated 1 floral bouquet in a clear, stemmed glass 3 copper and jewel page corners 3 stick pins 1 floral decorated tin 1 lace-edged journal book 1 word art lace doily 5 flower petal embellishments 5 grosgrain ribbons 5 sheer curved ribbons 5 swirl embellishments Not all items are shown in the previews. You can purchase my MEGA KIT at any of my stores: The Scrapping Garden, ScrapProfessor, and MooTwo Designs. This kit is ON SALE now for $3.50, which is 50% off. What a deal, huh?!

FREEBIE mini kit

Major Issues with Blogger!

2007-10-18T20:58:00.000-04:00

I have been unable, for a couple of months now, to post blinkies on my sidebar. I have read all the threads at Bloggers HELP, to fix the issue, unsuccessfully. Apparently I am not alone, and it does not seem that Blogger is anxious to fix this in a hurry. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

And Everything Nice

I have been wanting to try my hand at blogging; seems it is 'THE' thing to do these days. So, I thought there is no time like the present. My goal is to keep this updated with happenings in my life. I plan on posting some slide shows of my layouts, as well as offering freebies to visitors, in the future. Am going to close for now. Always live well, laugh often, and love much, and remember that everything happens for a reason.
