NEW Natural Moods Kit – And FREE Brag Book Set!

Good morning everybody!  Did you all have a good weekend??? Mine was spent staying up at night listening to my little 2 year old cough… poor little guy!  He is feeling a bit better today though… (cross your fingers) so I think there is some light at the end of the tunnel!  Yay!  And my oldest daughter, who had stayed home from school sick on Thursday AND Friday finally went back to school again today too.  Looks like we are on the mend!

In other news… I just HAVE TO BRAG about my good friend, Mary’s, cupcake skills!  Check out these CUTE CUTE CUTE butterfly topped cupcakes she put together for her daughter’s first birthday party!

Ta da!!!!  Turned out to be a really cute one!!!  It’s a picture of my two daughters (on the right) along with two of their cousins --- posing with Pluto at Disneyland from a couple years back!  Well… I guess this is actually in the California Adventure Park… our first visit ever!  My girls had SO MUCH FUN gathering up LOTS of character autographs!

I played along… and now I’m gonna tag:  Jacki, Satina, Caryn, Amy, Ruth, and Elaine!  Hee hee hee… gotta see those pics ladies!

New Month… New Challenges!

Woohoo!!! It’s March!  I always LOVE a fresh start… and I would really love to put February BEHIND me… thank-you-very-much!  Too many visits to the doctor, too many projects ‘started’ and never finished off, and too many crazy things to handle!

Our WORST crazy thing in February was my husband getting in a car wreck!  He gave me a call early one morning to let me know that he had totaled the car!!!  After my heart started beating again… he gave me a few more details : he was FINE (thankfully) but both HIS car and the car in front of him were toast.  We had experienced another icky morning of snow that day… and apparently the car right in front of my husband started skidding and spinning uncontrollably on some black ice– so Matt had to try to turn HIS car to avoid the one in front of him – and he ended up spinning too – and then after both cars had spun around into strange locations, Matt’s car grazed the side of the one in front of him and then Matt went off the road and into a ditch!  Arrrrgh!!!!  So now we have to go car shopping since we are down to only our van.  (Which I need during the day to cart my kiddos around in… and today I am ‘carless’ since Matt took it to work.  Ugh.)

On the PLUS side of things… I got to redeem my Valentine’s Day gift from my hubby this past Saturday ::: A 90 MINUTE MASSAGE!!!  WOOHOO!!!   Yes… major brownie points were earned by Matt!!! LOL!  So at least I had one AMAZING February experience right?

Ooooh… I want to show you a layout that was RAK’ed to me by the SWEETHEART (and fantastic scrapper) Carin!!! 

z-pirate2pager

Here are the pages a bit closer up…

z-pirate1

z-pirate2

Didn’t she do an amazing job???!!!  She took pictures I had of my oldest son and youngest daughter and put them into this glorious, fantasy world!  The brave pirate rescuing the damsel in distress… LOL!  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it!  Carin used a new kit by Lorie at Scrapbook Graphics called Flying DreamsThank you again Carin!!! MWAH!!!! You’re a sweetheart!!!

And Kim B. had a new March Color Challenge as well… her color swatch this month brought ‘butterflies’ to my mind (hee hee hee…) so I put together a mini kit to share based on the butterfly!

BL_kb_CC_Mar09_Preview

You can download this kit with two links on box.net (thought I would try to stay away from 4shared for a bit…)

First link for papers: (link has expired)

Second link for elements: (link has expired)

Anyway… hope you like the little freebie, and I hope you pop on over to DSO to check out my new March Scraplift Challenge!  Have a great week everybody!

***UPDATE***

Sorry about the issues with the bandwidth everybody!  I didn’t know that the free box.net account only allows you to have 10 GB of bandwidth each MONTH!!!!  So after about 700 downloads, my account has fizzled… LOL!

I’ve re-upped the entire thing all together into 4shared again… and I will suggest what other people have suggested if you want to use 4shared safely… don’t use IE when downloading… use Mozilla Firefox instead.  It’s a free browser that is very fast and easy to install.  Their security blocks the 4shared virus apparently.  (That’s the word on the ‘street’ in any case…)

Here is the new download link for ya:

Sorry about that!  What sites do you guys use to host your downloadable files??? I’d love to get some good suggestions!!!
