By The Way, it is FREE and I know how we all love FREE. So why not stop  and Visit Geni and see what it is all about. Don't just take my word for it, this is one site you will want to check into.

So hope on over to Geni and see what it is about.

I have put all of our Quick Kits on sale at Divine Digital. All of them are only 2.99. That is 2 Quick kits for only 2.99. Don't know what  a Quick Kit is? A Quick Kit is a cross between a Quick Page and a Mini Kit. You get a simple quick page back ground and 3 or 4 elements that are sized to fit. You just put them on where you want them. So your page does not look like a stamped out version of everyone else's page. This let's you customize the page the way you want it. This is what the Watermelon Pickle Quick kit looks like. There are several Quick Kit pairs to choose from.

Done forget to stop by the store on Saturday for the Super Saturday Sale. This week we are putting a brand new kit on sale at 50% off. The new kit is Boys only. You can buy the whole kit or you can buy just part of the kit. If you buy the whole kit it is like buying 4 parts and getting the fifth part and the two alpha sets for free.

 

Notice the stitching on the pocket, It is a perfect match to the hand cuffs. 

Notice the Pop-cycle stick bowl in this kit, not only did I draw the darn pop-cycle I had to put all those darn pop-cycles together.  The jar is a CU product made by our very own Becky.

Notice the tire in this kit, it was hand drawn by me. Also notice the wagon, it was hand drawn by Beth.

Notice the swing in this kit, it is all hand drawn by me. That took a long time to get the right perspective on it.

Notice the stitching on the pockets, these all had to be done by hand to get the letters right on them.

Green

I know so many people are trying to go GREEN these days. I have found a FREE site that will help you do just that.

Ideal Bite has a lot of really great tips that you can use. One thing that most homes don't have any more is fire places. Older homes like mine that used to be heated with a fire place are really great. All year long I never throw out any paper or cardboard. I save it all up. Then in the winter when I am having to heat the house I light a fire. My fire place will raise the temperature of the downstairs by 10 degrees. I only keep the furnace set at 55 degrees and then I let the fireplace do the rest. This reduces the heating bill of this house by about $100 a month. All that paper and cardboard don't go into the landfill and I get what I refer to as FREE heat. So check out Ideal Bite and see what you can do to help save the planet.

loving you

I have to say Midnight has herself a best friend now. Or at least someone who puts up with her. But either way Midnight loves Piglet. Where ever Piglet goes Midnight has to follow. So I did a layout showing just how much my little heathen loves her new big sister. Now how Midnight is sleeping with her head rested on Piglet. I liked this layout so much I turned it into a quick page and decided I would share it with you all. The kit used was Old English Rose by Acorn Designs. this will be available at Digi by Designs soon.

 

I've been tags by http://melissas-spot-7.blogspot.com and http://rosemadedesigns.blogspot.com/

How this works
These are the rules:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

 

1. I do not have cable or satellite service. I have Net Flix and can have 4 DVD's at a time out. So I don't have to be ripped off by Comcast Cable.

2. I have 4 fur babies. 3 cats and 1 heathen of a kitten. Because of the heathen I have to kitty proof my house to keep her from killing herself. (look at yesterdays post)

3. I am very happily DIVORCED. The only way I want a man now is one I can send home before morning.

4. I am a penny pincher and will do my best to get everything for free or for very little cost. My Christmas shopping is done all but my 2 grandsons and so far I've spent a grand total of $5.00

5. I live in a house that is over 200 years old. It is owned by my daughter and was owned by my mother before that. It was the second house ever built in this area. The first house is across the street from me.

6. I have really bad nerves and even I don't like me if I don't have my medicine. Even with it if I am under to much stress I can still have problems. But 95% of the time I'm fine.

7. I have 5 grand kids. All by one daughter with ages ranging from 3 to 11. They can come to my house as long as they stay outside. I call them the wrecking crew.

Layout

I decided to take time out today to do a layout. I thought you all might like this one. It is titled "Scaring Mommy to Death". The kit used is "Old English Garden" by Acorn Designs

Something cute

An engineer died and ended up in Hell. He was not pleased with the level of comfort in Hell, and began to redesign and build improvements. After awhile, they had toilets that flush, air conditioning, and escalators. Everyone grew very fond of him.

One day God called to Satan to mock him, "So, how's it going down there in Hell?"

Satan replied, "Hey, things are great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next." God was surprised, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake. He should never have gotten down there in the first place. Send him back up here."

"No way," replied Satan. "I like having an engineer, and I'm keeping him."

God threatened, "Send him back up here now or I'll sue!"

Satan laughed and answered, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
