A bit of news & a freebie

Okay everyone here's the thing. I've left the Daily Scrap. Yes, it was abrupt and yes, it was my choice. So I will be in a new shop- it's not open yet (sorry). SO if you want to buy any of my products you can email me at awatson8@nc.rr.com and I can work it out with you. Or if you know the price and product the same email address is my paypal one- just note the kit/collection in the subject line. I will be getting the kits of the Amazing Technicolor Dream collection to those who named them- but not until next week when my MIL is gone. This does mean I won't be hosting chats on Monday and Tuesday. It does mean I can share some freebies with everyone even those who wouldn't have been able to make the chats. So here's one that was supposed to be for the chat tomorrow: Sorry, this is no longer available. Thanks for understanding everyone and I'll be back tomorrow(I think- MIL is still here) with a freebie list. Happy Scrapping Everyone!

Super Busy Saturday

Okay, I'm sneeking on here while everyone else is busy. Sorry about no list yesterday- time got away from me. I'll try to get one up today but I still have company in town, so go see Selena or Ikea Goddess (the other freebie hunters) if you need your fix right now. I picked names for the red and purple kits and have completed the preview for the Technicolor kit. (They aren't in my shop yet but I figured you'd want to know/see.) SAHM named the red kit- Rasberry Kisses. And Tricia O. named the purple kit- Amethyst Arrows! Here's the preview for the Technicolor Dream kit! Lots of goodies in there- it's 4 zips. Okay, I'll hopefully be back later, but I wanted to share with you all. *Also 4share is doing maintence today, so most freebies aren't availble anyway right now. Hopefully if/when I come back it'll be up again. :D **Don't forget my chats this week: Monday at 1:30 pm eastern, for Jumpstarts No. 8 & Tuesday at 11:30 am eastern for the Technicolor Dream kit. Both are in the TDS chatroom. ***Oh and you still have time to comment to the FDA to save our chocolate! (See my post below.) Happy Scrapping Everyone!

Amazing freebie!

Okay here's the situation. MIL is due today so I'm trying to get the Technicolor Dream kit done so I can spend the weekend with the family. So I'll try to come back later with the freebie list, if the house is clean. But not to leave you in the lurch here's today's Friday Freebie! It's a set of photo prongs that coordinate with the Amazing Technicolor Dream collection.Sorry, this is no longer available. *I'm still looking for names for the red & purple kits so if you'd like to make a suggestion please leave a comment or email me. Remember to leave your email addy so if I choose your name I can send you the coupon for the free kit. (previews are 2 posts down) Hopefully I'll be seeing you soon! Happy Scrapping!

Don't mess with our chocolate!

Okay ladies have you heard what they're trying to do in the U.S.? They are trying to mess with our chocolate. Some U.S. maunfacturers have a petition in to the FDA to lower the industry's "chocolate idenity standards" on what can be termed chocolate, so they can make cheaper and lower quality products- by making chocolate without cocoa butter(instead using veg oil and trans fats) and using milk substitutes in "milk chocolate". Can I just say ewh? And if it is approved they can label these inferior products as chocolate so you won't be able to tell the difference without reading the ingredients label. The FDA will accept comment thru 4/25 so please if you care about your chocolate go let them know! Go to dontmesswithourchocolate.com to read more about it. Or read this article on it. Sums it up better than I can: Hands off my chocolate, FDA! Here's the FDA petition info: 2007P-0085: Adopt Regulations of General Applicability to All Food Standards that Would Permit, Within Stated Boundaries, Deviations from the Requirements of the Individual Food Standards of Identity To submit a comment to the FDA on this click here. *Include the docket number: 2007P-0085 (For step by step instructions on submitting a comment, with photos, look here- They also have a copy and paste letter that makes commenting so much easier.) Come on ladies, you know we need to fight for our chocolate!!!!

Name for yellow kit, plus red & purple previews!

Okay, Thank you everyone for the nice comments and shared water heater stories. I'm glad ours was resolved so quickly and that it's outside the house itself so the water was just running into the lawn. For those who asked about my car, the linkage broke between the shifter and the engine, hence it's stick in first. My finger is doing better but still hurts , espically everytime I bang it or Emma grabs it. I managed to gouge it while cleaning up in Emma's room and it got caught in the glider. I'm trying to get the house put together for my MIL's arrival tomorrow, but Emma is just as determined to undo all my cleaning. Now then I picked the name for the yellow kit and it just makes perfect sense. Lemon Squares! I want to thank Lisa for suggesting it to me, she'll get her free copy as soon as it's in my TDS shop. Which will hopefully be sometime this today or early tomorrow.Now then I'm almost done with the Amazing Technicolor Dream collection and here are the last two kits that need names. Remember if I pick your suggestion you'll get the kit for free! *Please include your email addy so I can send you the coupon. The purple kit: The red kit: Hopefully I'll get the last kit, the Technicolor Dream kit (rainbow) done tonight so I can get it and the entire collection into the shop. (You know buy all 7 in one shot.) I need to get it done soon and start work on the add-ons because it's being featured in a chat on Tuesday. (4/24- 11:30 am eastern @TDS) Oh, and I'll also be featured in a chat on Monday for Jumpstarts collection No. 8. (4/24- 11:30 am eastern @TDS) That means those 2 products will be on sale the days of their respective chats and that if you show up you'll get a little goodie from me. You can also earn a goodie by posting a LO using either the featured kit/collection or the attendance gift. I'll have more info later but just wanted to give you all a head's up. Now what you're waiting for- freebie list for Thursday! Tara has a template for you if you scroll down a bit. Kris and her sister Kari have made some pretty oil painted flowers for you. Keiela has a Spring Flowers paper pack on her blog. Heather has a Child's Rainbow doodle. Kristy has a new overlay Geo, that would go great withthe Lemon Squares kit- LOL!

Mid-week, aka Wendesday (take 2)

So after calling around and pricing and finding all the hidden costs, we now have a new water heater. My car is still broken since we're waiting on a part to come in.(Well I could drive around in 1st gear if I really had to go somewhere- lol) I managed to take a giant chunk out of my right middle finger so using my hand isn't fun. (Did I mention I'm right handed?) It's just not my week. I've been trying to clean the house up since my mother in law will be here on Friday. So if I'm late or invisable this weekend you'll know why. Now then Tangerine Tango is up in the TDS shop if you want to go grab it. My freebie list will be short today due to lack of time and my hand not liking the typing- so just my daily blogs and email hints I'm not cruising the forums. Don't forget you can check the Ikea Goddess for more freebies. <----(Her link is in the left sidebar.) And on to the freebies: ConnyB has her new challeng template up at Let's Scrap.

Oh, and thanks everyone for all the name suggestion so far-what a creative group of readers I have. Happy scrapping!

Mid-week, aka Wednesday

Well, you know it's just been a stellar week here. First my car breaks now it's the water heater. Yup, the water heater is no more. Did you know it costs almost as much to get the silly thing installed as the heater costs. And you have to file a permit to get one put in too. Makes it a PITA when you want hot water. Now then I've picked the name for my orage kit- Tangerine Tango! It was actually named by 2 people (one on my blog one via email- at almost the same time) so they'll both get it for free. It'll be up in my TDS shop sometime today I've been told. Did I mention I've also chosen a name for the collection and the rainbow kit? It'll be the Amazing Technicolor Dream collection and the rainbow kit will be the Technicolor Dream kit. These were suggested by Suzette- who, like me, is a Josheph fan. I love that musical. So Suzette will get the entire collection for free! Here's the next kit in the collection, yellow. If you can name it you'll get it free. *Please remember to leave your email addy so I can contact you. (Yes, I have a list of those already submitted.) On to my freebie list: *This'll have to wait until the water heater issue is resolved, so hopefully it'll be up this afternoon.

Tuesday's LOs

Morning everyone! It's Tuesday so I'm hosting my weekly chat in the TDS chat room with Melissa. Come on over and check out the featured kit and maybe pick-up the attendance goodie. *If you post a LO by next Tuesday with the featured kit or attendance bonus you can still earn the posting bonus. **Also there's a second $2 Tuesday kit and chat tonight with 2 more freebies check it out here.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! I know for some of you today is still part of the Easter holiday. Here the kids were off school Friday and this week is spring break. Here are some photos from yesterday. Here's Emma and I at church in the morning. (hubby had to work) See the pretty Easter bonnet Grandma bought for her.Then in the late afternoon her little buddy Kulan came over for an egg hunt. (I think it was his 4th hunt of the weekend, Emma's 2nd.) Here's Emma finding the first egg. Emma helping Kullan fill his basket. Emma making off with a BIG egg- daddy was holding her basket. Kullan going in after more eggs. I know you see the tunnel in the photo and are wondering if it follwed us from California but no that one is still there. But Emma was so good on our trip especially on the flight back so we decided she deserved a little reward. (Plus in my wide open back yard it was a great place to hide eggs.) If you're still looking for that perfect LO for your Easter pictures, I have a template in the post below. Feel free to just use the little chick, take the decorations off the egg whatever floats your boat. The Ikea Goddess has a list of a few more Eater templates she found yesterday if you want more.
