Did you ever have one of those days?

I just don't know where my head went on Tuesday. I felt like the boy that had a "no good very bad day"!

It started when I went into work after being on vacation and stood at the door just trying to wrack my brain and remember the alarm code for the door! Thank goodness I have a wonderful friend/coworker who forgave me for calling her at 6 in the morning and helped me out. On the bright side it was one of the two numbers I had been debating between (eek!)

Then the whole day was stressful trying to play catch up but I was looking forward to going to a gathering of crazy sewing ladies at my local Joanne's so that was something.

Five o'clock comes and I'm beat. I get home, remind DH I'm going out later and get dinner going. During that time, I get a call from my friend/coworker asking if I'm missing something...I had left my cell phone in her car! Argh...I really hate being without it. Not so much about missing calls but it is important in case of emergency.

Oh well...at least I'm going out but then I can't find my motorcycle key which took me about 20 panicky minutes to find (I had left in my jacket pocket the last time I rode) and then headed out. Now DH said I should warm up the bike so I did, but when I tried to back it down the driveway, I lost my footing and dropped the bike. I quickly turned it off and turned off the gas but because of the angle just couldn't get under it to pick it up. Fortunately DH had heard and came running to my aid.

After he got the bike up he told me to go inside, put on my PJs and have a cup of cocoa. I asked why and he said that he checked with the magic 8 ball and when he asked if I should leave the house it said "all signs point to NO!!!"

So I went in frustrated but as usual he was right. I had thought about jumping in the car but it really wouldn't have been smart to go out...what with no phone and so many things just not going my way. Sometimes you just have to say "UNCLE" to the universe and go inside and relax.

The rest of my week went better and I have been working on a new file just in time for Halloween which I am sharing here for FREE until 9PM. After that you can find it in the store.

It is hard to see in the picture, but I designed it so that the bat's head can be pulled out a little to give a 3-d look. It is super easy to cut out and stringing (if you want to put more than one on a line) is a snap. I simply tied a knot in the bottom bat, ran the second bat as far down as I wanted, tied that in place and then did the same thing with the last one. I am going to make a number of strings and then hang them up outside from out tree out front for Halloween.

Well off to get my laundry going and cleaning off the Craft I mean DINING room table!

Enjoy and let me know what you think and if you use the bats!

Guess what arrived in my email at 3:26 am?!!

Ok, first of all...who is UP at 3:26 am??...Now if I had asked 4:30 am Tu-Fri then the answer would be me but 3:26am?

Any guesses? The answer is Sue (aka baracudasue)! She was dying from sinus issues and barely standing on her own to feet but she put all of that aside (the trooper that she is) and still managed to create 9 similar but distinctive card fronts in about an hour with my latest 9 patch shuffle file.

Here is a pic of her finished card fronts. It took her only about an hour to complete ALL 9 card fronts and I must say I really liked how it turned out as much as she did. Of course I'm partial to the colors LOL!

She admitted to a couple of small boo boos but as I'm not going to point them out to you, you will never know where they are LOL!

As I said before, this will probably end up being my Christmas Card fronts...just got to get out to the store and pick 9 pages of 12x12 holiday themed papers and I will be able to make a good number of cards!

I also just finished uploading my latest DIGI file called the Cheerful Little Whale Digi.

If you are interested in this cute file, which includes 3 separate sayings, just get over to the store as I have it on sale for 1 week only for 40% off.

It includes additional little pieces to help your final piece pop off the page and will be sure to bring a smile to the recipient.

Well, I'm off to get dinner going...Hope all is well with everyone and until next time!

Got a Gear Head?

Ok everyone, I promised to share a file with you today, for a short 24 hours, and so here it is (before it gets to the store!) For those of you with "Gear Heads" in your life, this is a cute one. You may ask, "who is a Gear Head?"...well the definition I found in the Urban Dictionary is as follows:


"A person who is into all things motorized. This can be cars, motorcycles, machines, planes, or boats, but specifically relating to the engine and power delivery. Knowing how to weld and machine metal are also traits of a gearhead."

I even include the occasional Mr. or Ms. Fix-it in the group!





Just think how cute this would look on a page with your little ones "helping to fix" the car, or taking apart something just to see how it works! This file would work great in conjunction with one of my new files just uploaded called "Gears & Sprockets".

Speaking of new files, I told you I have been busy! Take a gander of these files brand new to the store: "Time Out Timer" (the name says it all), a "Quick Hello Card Front" and finally since it's that time of year again, "Tractor Pull"!







Well, that's about it for now, make sure you download the free file since it will only be up until tomorrow night at 7pm (that's September 1st guys and gals!)

If you download it, please leave me a note and let me know so I know you are interested in the files I share. IF you use it in a layout send it to me and I will share here with all of you.

Also, for those of you who are interested in .SVG versions of my files, I am slowly in the process of converting. If there is anything you want, send me a quick email and I will move that file to the top of the list so you don't have to wait!

Take care everyone, until next time!
