Well, I'm 'capped'.......

....as my dear old Grandad used to say. A proper Yorkshire (or Lancashire.... or somewhere....) saying.

It means I'm totally overwhelmed, amazed, nothing to top it, gobsmacked. Check it out, today my little freebie was voted best at http://digifree.blogspot.com/. I'm still in a state of wonderful shock. Thank you all for making my day. Thanks Maria for listing me and to you all. x

Now, Carin (hope I've spelt that right hun?!) asked me about my True Original You LO in my side bar. The subject is ofcourse, my beautiful daughter, Elly. The background I used Carin was actually an 'IStock' royalty free photo of a coloured fractal. I loved the colours and wanted to create a LO with lots of 'white space' and it just seemed perfect. The grunged wordart overlay was a freebie and I've tried but cannot find the original kit I got it from so I can't give credit to the creator (if thats you...... PLEASE contact me so I can give proper credit) Anyway Carin, hope that answers your question and if you have any more, please ask away.... x

Selena hun,
OMG, you saw me in a state of undress, no face on, literally lol......I gotta say, it's very surreal seeing yourself being operated on or on tv, weird......... lol. xx

Well guys, Thank you all again for popping by. Part two of Beauty Within will be here on Sunday so come back and grab it then. Meanwhile, please, please, please, send me some of your LO's, I'm dying to see what you guys do with my stuff. And send your friends here too.

Big hugs to ya'all

Big Thank you and New Kit News

Wow................

I am blown away with all of your wonderful comments on my little Treasure box for our fabulous Selena. Selena hun, your comments both here and on your blog have brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much and believe me when I say, the pleasure in creating this little gift for you and all of our Scrapbooking community was entirely mine. Does this mean I can snag that fab blinkie now hehe.....? To late, I already did. :-)

To all of you who visit me here in BooLand, I hope you enjoy your time with me and I truly appreciate the beautiful comments left for me, it makes doing this so much more fun. If you get a chance and use any of my work, please post it to me, I'd love to 'showcase' it here.

Ok, I promised you on my last blog some interesting (well, I think it is lol) news and something rather special.

A year ago today, yes the 18th, I got the date wrong (doh!) My Mum and I completed a journey we had never expected to be on. It was an experience of a lifetime and something we will never forget. I wanted to share the anniversary of that moment with all of you by creating a brand new Mega Kit.

The kit is called Beauty Within

I chose this name because the one thing I realised a year on is that true beauty comes from within. It's so much more then how you look. Everything you do, say and feel shows your true beauty and it shines through your smile, your eyes, your actions.

The kit will be available in 4 parts (I hope) over the next four weeks and the first download should (if 4shared behaves itself) be up tomorrow some time so please come back for part 1.

Meanwhile, here's a preview of the full kit and the story of why I created it. Enjoy and if you have any questions, please ask.

Once again, Thank you all for making this the most enjoyable thing I've ever done (well almost hehehe)

Hugs to all

Somthing Special for Selena.......

....and all of you of course.

As many of you know, Selena, our mighty Freebie Hunter, is finally planning something really special..... a baby.....!

I wanted to make something for her, a little Thank you for all she does for us Scrap-a-holics but I wanted it to be good for pretty much everyone so its 'Family' themed rather then 'Baby' themed.

I'm not giving anything else about it away. You'll just have to download and open the Treasure Box.... hehehe.

Have fun, enjoy and if you get a chance, leave a little love. I LOVE reading all your great messages.

Here ya go

Selena's Treasure 1

Selena's Treasure 2

Selena's Treasure 3

Now for some other news......

A year ago today (almost) 17th July, my Mum and I had a very special experience and I want to celebrate the anniversary of that date with all of you. I won't say what it was just yet other then it was extreme-ly RED, to say the least, you will have to come back tomorrow to find out what it was all about but I'm sure you'll be glad you did. There will be something rather special for you all.

.....and finally, a little layout I made of Elly's trip to see Shrek, her treat for getting such a super dooper school report. Hands up all you who thought the first Shrek was the best??? Still, this one had its moments and that cat still gets my funny bone. Harry Potter next and the Simpsons, looking forward to that.

Well, thats if from me for now so, until tomorrow, take care and have fun with your Treasure Boxes.

Hugs to all (especially Selena)

LilacSmiles Freebie Kit

Hello Everyone,

Well, I don't know if it was me, the internet, my CS3 or something in the stars but yesterday I had a horrible 'puter day. Nothing would work, everything kept crashing and no amount of me cusing at the thing frightened it into action. Nope, it was deader then a rusty door nail (is there such a thing???)

But today, we have lift off so without further ado, here's my next freebie, as promised. It's called LilacSmiles and was inspired by my daughters 'girly' top. I just loved the colour and pattern and couldn't resist creating a kit themed on it. Hope you all like and if you get to create with it, please do send me a link so I can see what you've done, oh, and I'd be a real happy little bunny if you found time to leave me a little love. Thanks and Enjoy............

Hugs

Oh, before I go, a special 'Thanks' to the wonderful gals who listed my freebies. What a thrill to go freebie hunting and find my little offerings there amoungst the greats so Thank you very much. You do an awesome job. xx

New Layouts

I've been spending so much time learning CS3 and putting together a new blog site for my daughter that I've hardly had time to do any actual layouts.... lol.

So......... today I grabbed a little down time and with the help of some of the wonderful freebies I get from you lovely ladies I put together a couple of LO's.

The first one is Elly at my little nephews Christening trying so very hard to keep those rings on her arms.

The inspiration for the next LO came from my daughters top. I love the patterne and colours of it and she looks soooooo girly in it, not like her at all, she's such a tomboy. I couldn't resist creating some papers to go with the pics. Keep your eyes open as this is in the process of becoming my next freebie kit.

All present and correct.....

Ok, after nearly 24 hours I have finally managed to repair all the broken links. That was a very frustrating time..... lol..... 4 shared were sooooooooooooo slow and then I kept crashing and would have to start all over again and God help me if I dared try and do something else at the same time...... oh no....... total shut down and the end of the world as we know it was a very real possibility.... lol.

Anyway, all links to my freebies are now fixed and in future, please, stop me before I get so carried away that just one kit contains 14 files....... Yeah, next time I make a Mega Kit, you guys are getting it 'daily' lol.

For the freebies go to my side bar or the relevent blog. Thanks and enjoy.
