'Beauty Within' Pt 3

Here it is folks. Part 3 of my Extreme Makeover mega kit 'Beauty Within'. Have fun and send me your LO's. I'd love to show case them here.

Talking of layouts, check out Deb's (aka craZcat) fantastic LO using my frames. I love how she mixed them with another kit to get this great finish. Thanks for the link Debs, I love it. http://www.scrapbookflair.com/CraZcat3835/My_SuperHero

I must say a big thank you to you all for your fab comments re my little Bowling Kit. It was just a quickie in response to Kitties request for one but I'm so glad so many of you liked it. Again, I'd love to see your LO's so send them on to me at booboo6204@hotmail.co.uk

Now on to some more serious things. You KNOW how much I love reading all your comments but someone pointed out recently that they'd been getting popups whilst on my blog. It seems a nasty cookie has attached itself to my comments box and whilst it doesn't always show up, it may do so to prevent you getting it on your blog, please don't open the comments section here. Instead, please leave your comments on my CBox or on 4shared or email me just until I manage to get rid of the little blighter. Many thanks to all those who gave me tips on what to look for and how to deal with it. Hopefully, and thanks to all of you, the problem will soon be dealt with. Keep your fingers crossed..... lol.

Ok, without further ado, here is your Pt 3. Part 4 next week.

Mini Kit 'Ten~Pin Bowling' Freebie

Hello everyone,

Well, I've been overwhelmed with all your fantastic comments and I can hardly believe I have passed 10,000 hits. Well done to you guys and a huge big Thank You.

Now, Kittie asked me for a Bowling kit for her little daughter who is learning to play so I whipped up this little mini kit for you all in between my mega 'Beauty Within' kit. Hope you like and if you have any suggestions for new kits, please let me know. Not everything is shown in the preview. The colours were based on the wooden runs and the white and red traditional to the pins. I havn't forgotten the 'Heritage' one. I'll be working on that over the next few days.


I've got some LO's to pop on too that I did following Misty Cato's photo merge tut and using some of the fab freebies I've picked up this week so they will be here soon.

It's nearly 2.30am, it's raining cats and dogs again and I'm off to bed with a little prayer for all those stuck down South with these horrible floods. I hope it eases up soon for you guys.

Oh, nearly forgot, big Hi to all of you who left me messages on my map and guest book and for those of you who pointed out how close you are to me, wow, its great to know you are there, thanks and hugs to you all....

'Beauty Within' Pt 2

Good morning dear Scrappers,

Well, it's a beautiful morning, the sun is shining, the air is warm and today feels like a summer holiday should feel. After yesterdays downpour, this is very welcome. But hey, this is England and our weather is known for it's unpredictability so lets make the most of this sunshine while we can...... lol.

I've rolled up my jeans, whipped off my wollen socks and and got a nice 4 knot hankie ready for my head.... what do you mean you thought only bald men wore those??? you should see my beautiful new 'brow reduction' courtesy of Extreme Makeover (uk)..... it 'increased..... lol.

Anyway, while I grab some rays, here's pt 2 of my Extreme Makeover Kit, 'Beauty Within' for you all to grab and enjoy. Pt 3 will be up on Friday of this week as this kit turned out to be five lots of downloads. Ain't that just like me.....hehe.

Tons of hugs and keep that love coming, it has lifted me higher then any Extreme Makeover could have done. Thank you all you wonderful people.

Beauty Within pt2 a here

Beauty Within pt2 b here


P.S. Hey, while I think about it, why don't you guys shower me with some suggestions of things 'you' would like to see here. Just post your ideas in the comments section here or in my chat box and lets see what I can come up with. Now that's a challenge I like the sound of..... or have I just bitten off more then I can chew lol???

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
