Thankful for this UPCOMING Holiday and FREEBIE

Hello All,

Boy am I thankful that I only have to work at my "full-time" job 2 days this week. Of course, there is the little boy I am teaching on homebound. He is so sweet, I really don't mind going and helping him learn while he is home sick. I hope his doctor's appointment goes well this week and he can go back to school.  Then, I have the 5 online classes I am teaching right now. A new one starts tomorrow (well today).  I am definitely looking forward to this 5 day break. I hope to get some stuff down around the house as well.

Well, my mind is too cluttered like the rest of everything else, I guess. I thought of posting this during the day Sunday but I was just busy. There it is...sorry I was busy! So, now before I go to bed here for my 3 hours of sleep I am posting my QP freebie for all of you.  This is the last page of the 5 page set.  I am taking these down after Thanksgiving and they will be put in the store if you missed them. I really like these I think they turned out great! :)

I hope you get all of them one day there is the heart and the leaf. Each button has a different Quickpage. So, if you didn't get all five go back and look since last week's posts.

I really hope you are enjoying these freebies and remember what you are thankful for!  There is something to be thankful for even if it's five minutes of peace! Sometimes those are hard to come by....so just remember to count those blessings!

Have a great week!

Dina

Here's the next Quick Page Freebie

Hello All,

Okay well, I have good intentions! Here's Saturday's Quickpage freebie...even though it is now Sunday.

I went for a sleep study Friday night.  I had to take a sleeping pill. I slept from about 11:30 ish to 4:00 a.m. when I got a huge leg cramp, par for the course of my nightly sleep or lack thereof. Then, they woke me up at 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday are they crazy? Where was the sleep part of the sleep study? HMMM me thinks there was not much! :) Well, I have not been well rested all day. Falling asleep at the computer. I just should have stayed in my bed and done my own SLEEP study...the kind where you actually get to sleep.

I do have one exciting announcement before we get to your freebie! Remember the Friday Frenzy Hop?? Well, if you weren't around then, my fellow CTs and Michelle, the owner of Crafty Scraps and I would all make a QP from a kit in the store at www.shopcraftyscraps.com and give it away on each Friday. We did that for about 4 months. I loved it but the vote was to discontinue it. Well, I have convinced them to bring it back. We are not going to do it every Friday but once a month and commemorate those special days of the month. So, we will have a holiday one on December 17, 2010. I am so excited!!! I can't wait! Make sure you have your blog hopping shoes on...there will be 10 pages to get! :) Wow, huh?

So, know that I am full of a kind heart with best intentions. But, here it is although it is late! AGAIN! :( Don't give up on me...I will follow through! :)

Remember those moments of Gratitude! :)

Which one will it be today? :)

The leaf is clickable! :)  Enjoy! There will be something else later today...on Sunday for real! :)

Apology and FREEBIES!!!!

Hello All,

Well, at least if I have to apologize I have a gift to go along with it! :) LOL

I fell asleep last night, yes, at my computer! So, when I woke up, I just got into bed and I forgot to post my next QP for you! Please forgive and now today on this special FRIDAY you get 2 QPs. If I do say so myself they are quite lovely! :)

Here's a preview of all of them. Which ones they are will just me your surprise when you open it! :) Don't you like surprises?

You've got to be acorns not want to do that! We have so much fun there and it is such a great group of ladies from all walks of life. We are an international group and everyone is just lovely! :)  Please come check us out. Get the mini and make a layout and post it so you can get this beautiful Fall MEGA KIT for FREE!

I am thankful it's FRIDAY! AMEN? :)

Junkyard or Treasure Chest? Thanksgiving Freebie

Hello All,

Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name.

We have so many things to be thankful for even amidst many struggles and trials. It's always easy to find something to complain about. Well, I am reading a book, and doing a book study with some ladies at Hummie's World called Power Thoughts by Joyce Meyer. We're just beginning but Hummie is leading it and we are going to be doing some Scrapping along with our reading. (by the way, it's still open I believe, you have to request to join as the group is only viewable by members of the group for privacy and sharing). In the book Joyce Meyer says, "Your mind can be a junkyard or a teasure chest, and you alone have the ability to choose what it will be." So, as we enter this time of Thanksgiving Celebration in our nation, what will your mind be? A junkyard or a treasure chest? We poison ourselves with wrong thinking patterns. Isn't that so true? Well, it is for me at least. Sometimes, well often, I am my own worst enemy, well, THE ENEMY, satan, actually is the worst enemy and he uses our very own thoughts as tools against us and to keep us from the LOVE of God.

I know this is not my typical posting but I felt compelled to share this. We can get so mired down. But you have the power and control to choose what your thoughts will be. Will you take it?

I am going to give away a Quick page today that I made from my portion of the Gratitude CT Caboose Challenge at CraftyScraps.  It's my Thanksgiving gift to you!  Here's a preview of the mini kit that if you go and make a layout you'll get the MEGA Kit the preview of that is after the mini!

They are great wonderful FALL papers and elements! You'll love it!

 

Here's a preview of the Quickpage. I hope you enjoy it. My dear friend, Robyn and I got to get together this summer. She lives in California and I hadn't seen her for about 6 years. I am truly THANKFUL for her friendship. It's sort of small but on the layout is a Friendship Prayer.

Happy Thanksgiving and remember to be THANKFUL! Tell someone what you are thankful for about them today! You'll feel great and so will they!

Many Blessings!

Dina

New Kit and QP FREEBIE and some other news

Hello All,

I have a new kit I would like to share with you and some layouts for inspiration.

It's called Plum Fall. My favorite shade of purple.  Love it, Love it! :) I hope you will too.

Here's a preview of the kit. It has many graphics, tags, some frames and brads to adorn your beautiful Fall, Harvest or Thanksgiving type layouts. It is very versatile because there is plenty to use that does not have to be holiday themed. The colors are beautiful and can be used for any occasion.

It's very festive and it's only $2.00 at the store.

Here's some layouts of Kristal's lovely family. Aren't they lovely?

Now if this doesn't make you hungry I don't know what will! Is it Thanksgiving yet?

Here is a layout I made with a template for you by Andrea Gold. I made it into a QuickPage for you.

 I hope you like it.  I put a quote on it, Gratitude is the memory of the heart. Who is someone you are thankful for? Put their special picture in there and let them know how thankful you are for them. Wouldn't that make a nice gift?

Here is the November CT Caboose at CraftyScraps. I just love these colors picked by Jabi and all the kits. Of course, as I 've told you several times, Fall is my favorite time of the year. But aren't these great?

Look at all those pieces to this huge Mega Kit.

This kit can be yours FREE, yes you heard me right, FREE by completing one layout with this mini kit below:

 

It's simple, go to the Forum and download the mini kit. Then complete your layout by the simple challenge rules.  Upload it to photobucket or something and post it in the forum.  Then you will receive the huge MEGA kit for free. You also will be in the contest for best overall layout for a gift certificate to the store. What have you got to lose? NOTHING! Come on over we'd love to have you. It's a great place to hang out. No requirements to sign up and the people are very friendly.

I have this new freebie in the store for you. Just some Fall Felt Goodies.  Go to the store and download them. There's no cart or anything to bother with you just download this freebie and several others! :)

I hope you like them. The scarecrow's head is not cut off in the actual item. Nwo that I look at that it looks sort of strange so I thought that I would mention that! :)

Well National Scrapbooking Day is really in May. But, we are still having a sale! Do you really need a reason for a sale. Just call it BECAUSE WE CAN SALE! :)

Michelle has some new kits you might want to check out in the store!
