~~Assorted Lace_CU~~

Yesterday I was sitting in my computer room playing around when I heard "meeeoooow, meeeoooow" I thought to myself "Hmmm, do I hear kittens?" So, I went outside to check it out.

At the end of our deck, there were 6 itty bitty baby kittens! *huge grin*

MaMa cat and the babies went around to the back of the house, so of course I followed! I found them and brought them inside.

Now I'm bottle feeding them. They are just soooooo cute! *smile* The MaMa cat is wild and really doesn't seem to be to upset that I've taken her kids.

There is this one.....he's the runt of the litter. I've taken to him because he's just sooooo ugly that he's cute! *Smile* He has these really big ears and the rest of his body is sooooo small.
He doesn't seem to have much hair either. I make sure I feed him first and when the others have been fed, I feed him the last of what's in the bottle. He already knows that he's "special!" *smile*

For those of you that don't really know me.......
I'm known as the "Crazy Cat Lady" cuz I'm always taking in all the cats around here.
I may not be able to touch them, but I feed them all the time and they know they can eat all day long......and good food too! *Smile*

OK....enough gabbin'. Now for what you are really here for.....a FREEBIE!!!
I have made some different color lace for you to snag and use how ever you would like. Like everything here, you can add to kits or share just don't claim as your own.
There are more colors in the zip file then what is on the preview.
Enjoy!!!

~~Happy Spring Blog Train~~

Well it's finally here.....our "Happy Spring" Blog Train. A few of us gals on DWR Yahoo List decided to put together this Blog Train. It may not be "big" but there are lots of "goodies" from each of the designers.

I wasn't going to join this Blog Train at first, but once we decided on the colors to use....well I just couldn't help myself and joined in the fun. *smile* I just love the colors (bright colors and pastel colors) so I ended up making way more things then I should have. Needless to say, I'll be posting some add-ons in the next few days....so be sure to come back and snag if you like. *smile*

Below is the list of all the different stops to grab your goodies. As always, please be sure to leave a kind word or two to each of the designers.....they all worked hard on their gifts to each of you.
Ooooops.....silly me, I almost forgot that my links will be below as well! I broke these down into several zip files because there are still people out there that are on dial up and it's such a drag to not be able to download things because the files are to large. Or worse yet, to not be able to download at all. Hope this helps those of you out there with dial up.

Here are my gifts to you:
Butterflies
Cute Snails
Flowers
Journaling Tags
Ladybug Pins

Now......hop the train to the next stop.......

~~Freebie-Purple Dreams QP/Calender ~~

I haven't done to good once again this year with posting. I don't know what is going on with me, but when I sit down to try to make new things my mind just goes blank. *sigh*
This is a QP/Calender that I made last month and am just now posting it for you to snag.
I make one of these every year, print it out, and hang it up on my wall.
Enjoy!!!

~~I Got Another Award~~

OK.....so I've been really slow at getting this award and posting it.
I'm sorry....
I just haven't really felt up to posting on here.
I sometimes get that way! *Smile*

This award comes from Funky

Funky......I want to say a HUGE "THANK YOU" for giving
me this Award!

~~Getting Better~~

I'll make this short! This is just a QP that I made the other day. Thought I'd share it here for anyone that might want to use it.

I know you hear this ALL the time from the different designers out there.....and I'm going to say it too. It sure would be nice if you could be polite and say "Thank You" as you snag our stuff. I don't really stress over this because I figure just the amount of downloads I get tell me just what is thought of what I offer here for your taking. BUT.....I'm more or less mentioning this for all those other designers out there ....
please be kind and leave a "Thank You" when you snag.
Enjoy!

~~Green Stripes Calendar~~

OK....so I've not been very good so far at keeping this blog up. Real life seems to get in the way at times. *sigh* I have however made several different things to post, just haven't been able to sit down long enough to upload etc.
Tonight is quiet around here (finally) so thought I'd post this real fast.

I got the idea to put a full years calendar on a QP when a few years ago I had taken the grand kids to have pictures done. The company that I got the picture from also gave me a calendar with all the grand kids. I hung it here in my computer room and used it many times.
So.....I thought I'd make one for this year and see how it looked. It turned out just great when I printed it out. Now I'm sharing it with you all as well. Hope you can find a use for this.

Everyone has worked so hard to pull this together. I can't wait to be able to travel to each of the wonderful Blogs to snag the freebies!

Hope EVERYONE had a very Merry Christmas! Ours was a very nice one. We had our son and his family here with us. Our grandson is 2 1/2 yrs old, and this year it's been so fun watching him get excited about everything that has to do with Christmas. *Smile* He just LOVES the lights. He figured out real fast how to open all those gifts too! *Smile*

~~Preview Of What's Coming~~

I told you that we have a "Blog Train" on it's way. Several of the gals from "Design With Renee' Yahoo Group" have put together some fantastic goodies for everyone to snag.

The preview above is the Alpha's that "Lori Ruth" has put together to share in this coming "Blog Train." She has made a point to have them saved in PSP format (Version XII) as well as PNG. The preview doesn't do them justice at all........so be sure to come back here to snag them once the Blog Train arrives here on my Blog.

Only 3 more days to go until the "Train" arrives. It's going to be a GREAT ride for sure! *Smile* These gals have really worked hard to put this together and I hope you will come back to snag all the FANTASTIC freebies.

TaTa For Now!

It will start on Dec. 26, 2008 and go till ???
Please be sure to check back to follow this "train" to all the different sites.

I am hosting "Lori Ruth's" goodies here on my Blog because she doesn't have a site of her own just yet. She has made several Alpha's for everyone to use with all the other wonderful kits the gals have put together for you.

I wasn't going to do anything this time. But got to messing around with PS and PSP and ummmm sorta got carried away! *Smile* So.....there will be some things from me as well to snag.
Come back real soon to snag what Lori Ruth and I have and hop that train to all the other wonderful shares! I've seen what everyone has to offer and believe me....you will be thankful that you followed this "Train!" *smile*
Till Then.........!

~~Blue Wonder~~

OK.....so I've been playing around again with a few things and came up with this QP. I started this QP due to a couple of pictures I had of my grandson. Once I got done with it I decided I'd give it to all of you as well. I hope you all can find a use for it.

I have a couple more things to share with everyone and may get it posted today. If not, then I'll have them posted real soon. I may put another QP I did over on the Blog Emma and I have together.

Anyway.......here is the link for you to snag this QP

~~Darker Fringed Frames~~

The past two days have not been so good for me. *sad face* First off yesterday I took a hard fall down on my knees and OUCH I'm in pain! My one knee is so swollen I can hardly walk. And to top it off it stings really bad and I can't touch it.

Last night I sorta thought I might have to go to ER....but then I changed my mind. I'm not really the type that rushes up to ER for anything. I gotta feel like I'm about to die before I do something like that! *Smile*

THEN............................................................

Two weeks ago, my cat "Ginger" came up missing. At first I just thought she missed dinner that night and would come home the next day. BUT as days went on and she still didn't come home....then all sorts of things of course came to mind.

We have a mountain lion that runs around this area and .... well yes I thought maybe she was a snack for the mountain lion.

BUT then my other cat Gypsy came up missing. I let her out Thurs. afternoon and never saw her again. Then 3 more cats came up missing in between these two. Hmmmmmm.....how could all these cats come up missing at the same time. So, I had our son go to the "Pound aka Animal Control" to see if they were there.

Yep....Ginger and Gypsy were there. The others weren't. Maybe they were but it was to late

Of course I paid to get them out. It cost me several hundreds of dollars to get them out.

Also found out that it was the guy that lives up the road from us that trapped them and took them in. He doesn't like cats.

Mad? You bet I am!!! How would they like it if I took their dog to the pound? Their dog always comes down here to visit and poop in my yard, in front of our mailbox etc. But I just put up with it because I LOVE LOVE LOVE animals and would never harm any of them. And going to "Animal Jail" to me just isn't right.

It really makes me upset how people are so rude now days. It use to be you knew your neighbours and you helped each other out etc. Not any more. Instead, they do nasty things to you. How sad this is.
Anyway....two of my beloved fur babies are home and boy are they glad to be here. I'm scared to let them go outside now cuz of fear those nasty rude people will trap them again.

As promised yesterday, here are the rest of those fringed frames. I'll be making more with more color for stitching on them. I'm having lots of fun playing around with that script I did! *Smile*

GO HERE TO SNAG THE DARKER FRINGED FRAMES

~~Fringed Frames~~

The other day I decided I was going to figure out how to make my own script in PSP! *smile*
So.....I got busy and did a couple of different things and then decided what one thing do I use the most....FRAMES!!! I'm always looking for frames to use in my Lay Outs! So.....I made this fringe frame. After playing around a bit more with the script I found the code I needed to make the script stop when I wanted so I could add what ever color I wanted. Now the script works like a charm and I have discovered several other things I can do while using that script! *smile*
It just tickles me pink when I discover something new! LOL

I decided that I'd go ahead and share these "fringed frames" with everyone. They are made rather large so you can size them down and they will still look good printed. I have put them into two different zips because of the different colors. I'll share one zip today and then the other zip tomorrow....so if you like them, you will have to come back and get the others.
The preview doesn't show all of them......as everyone knows, I'm not really good at doing my previews so everything looks really nice.....and trying to show all the frames was near impossible for me.....so believe me when I say there are more! *Smile*

I hope you are going over to the Blog that Emma and I have together. I've added a couple of QP's there and have a couple more to add maybe later this week.

So......go snag these frames if you like. Ooooh.....and one more thing, I'd just like to say that for the very few that say "Thank You" I really appreciate it. I know when you are on a "Freebie Hunt" sometimes you just don't feel like leaving a comment. BUT.....I'd also like to add, to people like "me" that is new to all of this, every comment means the world to me. It makes me to WANT to keep trying and giving. So.....please please please just take one sec out of your "busy freebie hunting" and leave me a quick comment.

OK....enough! You can go snag these frames now and remember come back tomorrow to get the rest!

~~Birthday Quick Page-3~~

Well, it's not raining today in "not so sunny California".....but it sure did rain a lot last night! That's OK cuz we really need it. They say (not sure who "they" are) that we are going to have a cold and long winter this year. Good! I can handle the cold much better then the heat. *smile*

Yesterday I gave you a Quick Page from Emma's Birthday Kit. I decided to add a "title" to it because I was working on a LO for our grandson. I decided this morning that I'd go ahead and share this QP with you all just in case you might be able to use it too.
If you go back in my archives here, you will find that I had done another QP with this same kit....you are welcome to snag it if you like.

Don't forget.....Emma and I have another Blog for you to go and snag more things! *Smile* I will be uploading another QP that I have done. You will have to go over to that Blog to see and snag! *Smile*

OK.....so here is the QP you came for!
BIRTHDAY QP-3

Enjoy!!!
Hugs 'n Stuff,

~~Birthday Quick Page~~

My friend Emma has been working on a "Birthday Kit." She sent me what she had and asked if I would make a Quick Page for her. Well...of course I was eager to get started as I loved all the colors she had picked out. So I got started right away and this is the outcome. *smile*

If you would like the full kit, you may go over to EMMA'S BLOG and grab it. While you are there please be sure to show her some "love" for all the time she puts in making these freebies for everyone.

I have a few more "Freebies" that I've been working on to share with everyone. I just have to finish up a few things before I post them. So.....be sure to check out both Blogs as you never know where these "Freebies" will be located! *Smile*

It's raining here in "not so sunny California!" *Smile* This means that we didn't have races this weekend. I'm thrilled about this! LOL Only one more race and we will finally be done for the season. Of course, the next years season will come all to soon for my liking....but I've been doing it for soooo long, that I don't think I'd know what to do with my weekends if I didn't have races to run! *Smile*

Gotta run....have some other things I need to post here tonight.

~~Halloween Kit-Freebie~~

There are more things in the zip file then what you see in the previews.

Mysery Halloween Freebie!

I woke up this morning thinking about how I never seem to post here very often. I thought to myself how I needed to do something "different" on here. Then the idea came to mind....I'll put up a link to a "Mystery Halloween Freebie" for anyone to snag. Now.....I'm not going to give you a preview....that's what the "mystery" is! *Smile*
I'll give you a hint.....it would be well used for Halloween.
Below you will find the link to this "Mystery" freebie. Hope it will be something you will be able to use.
Also....I've been working on a Halloween Kit. I'm not really all that "thrilled" with it, but I may post it any way just in case there are some papers or elements that you may like and want.

OK......below are the links to the mystery halloween freebie!
