I Disappeared Again huh? Have Freebes though

I am such a bad blogger! I get on the computer and start fooling around, visit blogs...thinking I should update mine, check out my fave sites... thinking I should update my blog, do some layouts...thinking I should update my blog, chat with friends...thinking I should................you get the picture. But I do have a couple of freebies for you!!

Not too much has been happening around me, nice and quiet which I like, had enough drama and not in any hurry for any more. Although when dealing with certain situations it's likely to crop up.

B~man is in hockey playoffs right now, they finished the preliminary round with a 4-1 record and the top 4 teams advance to the semi final round. His team should be in with the top 4 and if they go to a goals for/goals against they'll still be in good shape as they posted three shutouts. Hard part is we have to wait 2 weeks before playing again.

Scrapping News--lots to say and preview and link you up to some freebies too!!

Bren Boone is back at the Orchard!!! Yep she's back and this time as an exclusive Orchard Girl. I love her designs and it just adds another amazing designer to my favourite place.

Shauna aka Pineapple Plantation Designs has released a CU grab bag full of wonderful goodies which I can attest to as I bought it, lol. I just love her overlays.

Kami has a cute collab called Firefly Lane with Amanda Heimann. It's so fun and perfect for many layouts. I haven't grabbed that one yet but it will be in my cart very soon, lol.
Franziska has released a gorgeous kit with that vintage feel and it's appropriately named, Vintage Flowers, I just love the feel to this kit.Freebies for you.....here's a linked list to some of my Orchard Girls who are giving away freebies right now plus I even have two of my own.

Freebies!! New Kits and Yeh What a New Year!

I hope everyone had a great holiday and wishing you all the best for the new year. The B~man got his Wii for Christmas so all was happy in this household.
He also played in a hockey tournament that started on Boxing Day. His team reached the finals and only lost by one goal!! What a game that was! B~man was recognized twice by the coaches of the other team and awarded the Player of the Game medal in game 1 and game 2....he was so proud. In the semi-final matchup he scored a hat trick, needles to say the boy was floating on air, LOL. The whole team played so well.

On to cool preview time from Scrap Orchard and Ziggle Designs.

This kit is so adorable, Rocket Doodle Do is yet another fantastic pairing of Kami. Ziggle Designs and Becky, B~Creative Designs..........remember Feels Like Home? Well here is another one you just have to get!!

Real life news................

The B-man made the junior volleyball squad for the little mock tournament they had at the school. The teacher was using it as a way to get them used to what a tournament would be like, pointers, rules, sportsmanship etc. It was a great idea and B-man was so proud! I of course went to watch and cheer them on. A fun night and the smile on his fac when he saw me sitting on the stage was priceless. I took some pictures and got what I thought was a really good one of him jumping up get the ball but alas, once on my computer it was all blurry and icky :(.

B-man has had a great week as he is also doing the Break away challenge for his team in the skills competition at the hockey tournament. Of course he's nervous and said he would rather have done the backward skating one. I told him to relax but then again that's easy for me to say isn't it?

Blog Train and Freebies!!

Before I get to the fun, free scrapping stuff and blog addy's I have to share that the B~man scored a goal today!! It was gorgeous one too, took a shot on net, bounced off the goalie and he was there for his own rebound..........SCORE!!!!!!! He also had a wonderful shot from the blue line, almost went in.



OK on to what you're really here for, LOL.



To celebrate Becky from B~Creative Designs becoming an exclusive designer over at Scrap Orchard, the CT's from Kami (Ziggle Designs) and Becky got together and created these wondeful QP's. We felt it fitting that we use, what else but their collab Feels Like Home to kick off this occasion.



My blog is the first stop for Kami's team, and once you get to her blog she'll link you up with Becky and her team. Go, have fun!! Don't forget to upload your layouts in the Scrap Orchard gallery so we can see what you did!!

First Day of School, Previews, Template News and a Freebie

First day back and all went well, no tears or refusing to ever attend again.............and that was me, LOL. Day 1 is always laid back for me due to my job within the school. I make sure to connect with my students from last year, visit classes, be visible. Next week I will start planning my schedule after reorganization and schedule blips have been ironed out. B-man came home pretty happy with his day and fell right into routine of emptying the backpack, showing me the wads of paperwork I need to sign, and that this year they don't need parental signatures in their agenda on a daily basis, he's in grade 6 now you know, hehehe. That's fine, but I WILL be looking at it daily.....he's a great kid and student, but well he's a kid. I've forgotten to do something for work (good job I was able to wing it and think on my feet, LOL). We'll see how day 2 goes.

We have hockey tonight and Friday and I have a hockey meeting Thursday..........hmmm, detecting a theme here?

*PREVIEWS* (images are clickable)

yep some absolutely gorgeous kits coming down the pipe. Here are some new ones that I just love!

Shauna of Pineapple Plantation Designs and Kami of Ziggle Designs have teamed up to bring you a kit you could get for free! Yes you read correctly, free. All you have to do to be eligible is purchase either $10 from Shauna's store or $10 from Kami's store and this kit is all your! Good deal huh? Ran out of hours in the day to get a layout done with this one......hopefully tonight.

In other collab news Franziska Altmann and Monica, of Studio mgl have gottne together to bring you Free Spirit. Here's a layout I made using this great new kit.


My templates..............the links will no longer be active on my past templates after today. I will leave the link for this last one up until Sunday and then it will come down as well. I will be posting a freebie once a week, with work starting up again, my CT's and other duties I won't be able to keep up the pace of 2-3 a week.

Have a great day!!
