Good evening, All.
Just giving you the heads up that I will be leaving Thursday, after rush hour, to pick up Tyler from the cottage. I won't be back till late. On Friday I will also be MIA for most of the day/night as the Ex opens and we are going, just don't know what time that will be just yet, depends on the weather, which is cooling down some. The heatwave appears to have gone for the time being. On Saturday our niece is having her birthday party and we will be going to that. On Sunday, family day, I will be with the boys doing whatever they have chosen to do for the day. On Monday or Tuesday, it's back up to the cottage for Tyler and I and we won't be back till the 6th, that's a Sunday. That's how it's planned for now but who knows, things happen don't they LOL
I was finally able to get a layout up at the Stuff to Scrap Forum for the Color Challenge tonight. It's different then what I expected. I thought it would be like the DSO color challenge but its not. Instead you are given these colors and you have to use any of the STS kits and create a layout using the colors.
It's getting late and I must get some sleep so I will chat you up when I can.
Thanks for coming by and reading my post tonight.
Enjoy your day.

Burn Baby Burn
Aside from my post earlier this morning, I have spent the better part of the day in the ER.
Joe works at a company that is very hot. With the weather itself being hot and humid, this makes his work place twice as hot as it is outside, even in the night. To top it off Joe works with steaming boiling hot water.
Early this morning while Joe was working with one of the fireman's hoses, it bursts from the seems and scorches Joe badly.
This morning he called me to say he would be late getting home. If he gives me no explaination I don't ask cause eventually he tells me what's up when he gets home. Well by 10:30 he still hasn't come home and I am getting kind of worried. So I give him a ring and I can hear the paging system in the ER sounding off so I ask if everything is alright. He then tells me what happened. So I find out which ER he is at, hop in the car and go there. Poor guy hasn't even been seen too and it's now 11 am and he's been sitting in there since 6 am with 3rd degree burns which haven't been attended too properly by his work. When we finally get in the spot (a bed with a curtain around it) we wait another hour for the attendant to see him. By this time Joe has nodding off cause he worked all night.
When the attendant sees him he gets mad at Joe for not being seen too earlier cause apparently burns should be seen to asap to reduce infection from the peeling skin and blisters. (Oh, I want to slap the attendant because it wasn't Joe's fault he had to sit there while the staff came and went having cigs, coffee and foods. He tells me later that he was outside chatting it up with the staff several times while he was waiting and had 4 coffee's himself.)
The attendant then starts peeling the skin of Joe's chest and neck and in one spot he takes off too much and it must have been good skin cause Joe yelped, pushed the attendant's hand away and asked him why was he trying to take off skin that wasn't damaged. Then the attendant just leaves and comes back 15 minutes later with this cream that Joe is to put on the burn daily. In the meantime he puts on a ton of this other type of ointment, bandages up the burn with this metal bandage and gauze and tons of tape and tosses the wrappers on the floor. When its all done Joe can't move that part of his body as the dressed up area is too tight for movement.
When we finally go to leave he tells Joe that he has to come back every day for 5 days and that he's not to touch the burn or bandages in any way. Lets just say we were confused when we left with this ointment in tow.
On the way home I stop at a red light and I read this ointments instructions: do not apply with metal bandages. Oh, isn't that what the attendant put on Joe? When we get home I tell Joe about the ointment and he reads the instructions. Then he asks me, "Did you see how filthy that spot was? Did you see the blood on the tables and floor? Did you see the attendant almost slip on that paper (probably a part of a bandage pack)? I am going to get a flesh eating disease and die like Randy?" Yes, Yes, Yes, No (I hope not).
I admit, our little family are kind of clean freaks. You can image how hard it was for Joe and I not to utter a word in that spot. We just wanted to get the heck out of there asap. Since our belated friend went into the ER for a popped knee and came out with flesh eating disease and died within a week, we have been terrified of hospitals. We seen him that very morning too, doing his landscaping in downtown Toronto and he was fine.
By 3 pm we were both exhausted and went to sleep. If I didn't wake up at 9:20 pm Joe would have been late for work. He just hopped out of bed, put his clothes on and out the door he went. Didn't even have a coffee or foods. What a guy. I would have at least taken the night off having spent the better part of a day in the ER and having little sleep thereafter. Now he's at work with no coffee, no food, no shower and tired.
Joe's work isn't going to be too thrilled either because he is a very important person at work and he has to do light duty till he heals, can't be around heat (LOL) and can't do his normal job. Now this would be okay if his team actually contributed to Team Work but they don't. Instead Joe will have more work when he gets back to his normal duties because no one will do his job properly. Mind you his team mates like to complain a lot about who isn't help them, all the time, like 50 times a day, but they won't help others. What a week they are going to have without Joe at there beckon call. He always helps them when he's done his work. Now he can't LOL. Oh the fun!
Well I best show you the pick, finish up online and get some sleep cause I feel a bit jet lagged, strange but true.
I took this picture after we ate brunch. Joe just ripped it all off because he couldn't move and it was a nuisance to him the way they dressed it. We have all the same stuff at home that they put on him in the ER so I just redressed it so he could move. Terrible looking isn't it? Can you believe he doesn't feel the burn at all. Weird LOL
That's it from me tonight. I totally missed a speed scrap I had planned for today but hey, what is a girl to do.
Enjoy your day.

Fresh Air Mini Kit - Freebie
Good Evening, All.
I had quite a bit of time to play today with the DSO Color Challenge for August. I made 7 pages and from them came a sort of mini kit which I named Fresh Air because the DSO Colors appeared fresh to me. I swear I kept wanting a kiwi and some mangos and peaches while I was playing LOL, but I opted for Fruit Cocktail without any kiwi or mangos in it. It did have peaches thou LOL.
I came away from my playing with nearly 80 elements and 5 sets of papers but i won't be offering you all that stuff today because it's like 1 gig.
The kit has 5 papers as seen in the quick page below, about 30 or so elements, not all shown in the preview, and only 2 alphas, 1 redish and one greenish (the 1st and 3rd colors on the DSO Color palette) .
Any issues let me know so I can fix any.
It's also my first mini kit of sorts so let me know, if you like, how you like it.
It's about 1:50 am so I best get some zeez.
Thank you for reading my post tonight.

DSO QP Freebie
Hello, All!
Thank you for all the comments on the free templates. I hope you are using them and have found no issues.
Whew! So far I've had such a fantastic time this summer. How about you all?
If I didn't have to do some pre-school shopping I think I would still be up at the cottage right now, but....school starts on Sept 8th and I want to get everything done before the Ex opens on Friday. But believe me I won't be sticking around here for 3 more weeks waiting for the bell to ring.
I came back yesterday in the later afternoon and wow what a heat wave down here. I always drive in the off hours, no rush hours or high pollutions to deal with but once I open the window at Tim Horton's to get a coffee it felt like there was no fresh air to breath. Up at the cottage it's totally different; there is always fresh air even when its hot.
Last night, after I took Lady for a walk to get my mail from my cousin who lives a few blocks away, I hopped into the DSO to pick up the color swatch for this month. I began to play a bit and since I have a gazillion photos to scrap I made one quick page. When I play it goes on and on LOL cause well I am creating as I go so it takes way longer.
Here is the quick page I made and from it I made one for you all too.
Right now I have to go and wash all the clothes I bought for Tyler, get all his school stuff ready and hopefully I will have some time to spare to get in another quick page or something. Tyler is still up at the cottage and he won't be back till Thursday night. Friday the Ex is under $2.00 to get in and he said he wants to go that day. Oh, the madness! I hope he wants to go in the late afternoon cause I don't think it will be all that great if we have to walk around sweating and passing out from the heat. This is truly naked weather, or 'the least clothes the better', LOL. Thank goodness for AC.
That's it from me for now.
Enjoy your day and your download.

Just for a Bit
Is it summer? LOL It's been the greenest summer in ages thanks to all the rain. And it has been a very rainy July. August seems to have started here with a heat wave and I am sitting here sweating even with the AC on. A storm is hovering over the valley at the moment and should make a lovely viewing soon. I love to watch the lightening show and hear the clouds bang together.
At the cottage, across the lake, they make an awesome light show and Tyler is just amazed. He prepares for them LOL. It's funny, he never did this before but now he watches the weather station news to see if a storm is coming then gets prepared. He makes foodies, puts his pull out chair in front of the window with his binoculars. He will watch the sky awaiting the storms arrival. When the storm finally arrives he stands on the porch until he can stand there no more and then rushes inside and plops down in his chair and watches with or without his binoculars all the while voicing his amazement with ews and ahs. Lady is another story LOL She hides and shakes in terror from the banging of the clouds and the crackling of the lightening strikes.
We, Joe and I, arrived home at 4 this morning and I will be heading back up to the cottage tonight and staying till the Ex opens. Can't miss the Ex before school starts :) I am having such a fantastic time and so is Tyler and Granny. Joe and Grandpa only get to have fun on the weekends LOL.
I thought I would pop in to let you all know whats up, which I've done. I did the shopping, did some house chores & paid the bills this morning. After this post I will check in with the scrappers and see what they have been up to while the laundry finishes. I know I have missed a ton of stuff LOL. Not to mention that I have missed you all greatly. Once school starts back up I should be back into the fully swing of scrapping again.
Well there is the first bang of clouds and oh there is the rain. Well I best let you go as the power may just go out LOL (August 13 2003, power outage across most of Ontario)(Father in law goes into hospital, dies hours after scope damages his lung during exam:( )
Okay, gotta go. Thanks for dropping in and reading.
Enjoy your day. & Your summer!

The Weekend Is Here
Can you believe I still haven't finished reading all the blogs.
I missed so much especially the CT calls which at first I was a bit sad over missing out on but then I had to be honest and ask myself if I could really manage doing that and the answer was no.
My life is too busy as it is and being summertime doesn't help in the least as I am rarely sitting at the computer now. Summer only comes once a year and I'd be dang if I wasted these gorgeous days inside. Nights, more then likely but days, no way.
I promised myself I would not let this hobby take over my life as it has done with so many. So many have burnt out or quit, and I truly don't understand how people with children manage to pump out a kit every week without neglecting things like cleaning the house, doing the dishes, or more importantly taking care of the children and family.
I am sure you have read many a blog where the writer has mentioned these and other things and it always breaks my heart. I love my family way to much to let a hobby rule over them and their needs. I love my hubby to bits and he me so do I really need him gripping at me about the things I am suppose to have done but failed to do because of a hobby, no. I can't even remember the last disagreement we had, it's been that long, ages really. I am sure many of you can relate and or understand.
Eventually I will get the reading done but I am more excited now to be getting in on a few speed scraps while Tyler is up at the cottage. I have never done one in my life. But I won't be getting in on that fun till next week. I have only joined up at one forum so far and I promised two other people I would join up at their forums too. I think that 3 forums should fill in any gaps of free time I may find.
Well I best get prepping to head up to the cottage for the weekend. Yup, every weekend I possible can, you will find me there.
Summer, gotta love it and enjoy it to the nines.
So until next week....
mwah to all,
Enjoy your day and your weekend.

Here in Body but Not in Mind
Hello, All.
I hope you are all well and enjoying your seasonal days.
We are home now. My body is here but my mind is still up at the cottage. I have tons of reading and catching up to do and I have Jessica's course still to do.
Tyler is up at the cottage, possibly for the rest of the entire summer, kids change their minds by the second LOL, which gives me quite a bit of free time to catch up on assorted things, I hope. And we all know that when you miss a week in digiland it feels like a month, a month feels like a season, a season, a year.... :)
So I will catch up and get back to you.
Enjoy your day!

SC Critters - Freebie
We are all packed up and ready to go, folks. As promised I have one more freebie for you.
I hope you all know of Debbie aka The Scrapping Cop. A while back Debbie shared some great doodle type designs of critters and birds. I needed an elephant and a bird for a couple of layouts I was doing at the time and dug into her folder on my drive and began to play around. These are the results.
Click on image to download.
The preview looks horrible. Did Blogger compressed my image? I appear to be losing bytes when I upload things, first the zips and now images. Gees. Thank goodness for vacations :)
I will check in before I leave so if you have any issues get them to be asap. I don't know if the nearest town has an internet cafe or similar so I don't know if I will be able to check while I am on vacation.
Hope it all goes well.
Enjoy your days till we chat again, all.

Fixed - Freebies Zip File Errors
I received 8 messages in regards to both freebies downloads having errors.

Michael 'King of Pop' Jackson Dies at 50
Yes, Nicole, it's true!
Today, Michael Jackson died of a cardiac arrest due to the medications he was taken, just like Heath Ledger. Wow, 50 years old. So long, Michael.
It's 10 p.m and they have an entire show going on right now about him.
The number of viewers will be phenomenal.
DH, loves the Thriller music video. My first memory of Michael right now is the song, Ben.
Thank you Diana Ross for discovering the Jackson 5! Go Diana.
Thank you Quincy Jones for making Micheal's star shine.
Rest in Peace, Michael.

13 Overlay Designs - Freebie
I noticed overlays are becoming more available in the scrap world lately so I dug into my stash and pulled out 13 of them for you. I thought it best to get them to you now as I will be leaving for our vacation on Friday and won't be back for 2 weeks or so. I'll post when I get back.
It's nearly 5 and my headache is slowly subsiding, ever so slowly, and I need a tea. So I won't keep you long.
I hope you can find some use for these overlays. If you do use them I would love to see the results. Just post a comment, which are moderated, leave me your web site url in the comment and I will post a link to your results, if, of course, you post it online. LOL
Yes, you can use them in any free kit you give away too. Send me your links. Please keep in mind I will be on vacation so please wait till I come back for me to post your links.
I noticed I forgot to post the dimensions of these overlays in the preview. Sorry about that. They are all 12x12 : 3600x3600, in PNG format.
Here is a preview of the 13 overlays.

The Lovely Award
It's late, 3:30 am.
I have an extreme headache that woke me at 2 am. It was so hot today and not a good hot either, and it's only the end of June. I could hardly breath, the air was so dead and hot. I am dreading July and August. If you are one of those who do not believe in global warm, at this point, I would have to say you are a nut. I feel sorry for those who have to work or even go in to any one of the cities. I seen 3 city centers from my friends balcony yesterday and they all had this gray haze over them. Sickly.
So after I woke up I thought what they hey, check out what the scrap world is doing. So off I went to check out a few buds and found I received an award.
It's my first award and from my Canadian bud in Alberta, Mandy, from Mandy Made Digi Bits, too.
Here are the rules for this award:
1. Put the award on your blog.
2. Include a link to the person who gave you the award.
3. Nominate 7 or more blogs.
4. Leave a message on their blog letting them know they have an award on your blog.
I won't have a hard time giving this award away. There are so many terrific scrap artists. My trouble will be picking just 7 of them. But without further ado the nominations are.
Each of these people are totally phenomenal.
1. Nicole from Digi Designs, Stuff to Scrap. The entire group at Stuff to Scrap are also phenomenal. I could nominate them all.
2. Kim B, Digital Scrap Obsession. The entire group at Digital Scrap Obsession are also phenomenal. I could nominate them all too.
3. Lily from Lil's Little Luxury.
4. Linda from Bon Scrapatit Designs.
5. Rebecca from Rebecca's Scrapping Silliness.
6. Jaelop from Jaelop Designs.
7. Ashely from My Dreams Full Filled.
8. Carolle at Happy Scrap. Can't figure out how to comment on her blog :(

Free Course with Jessica Sprague - Limited Time Offer
I had a bit of time this afternoon after picking up my mail, to gad about in scrap land and decided to drop into Jessica's place first and ended up getting side tracked. LOL
Jessica is offering a Free Course in July (6th) that I signed up for. You can sign up too but you have to hurry because time is limited; sign up before this Friday, June 26th.
I haven't been scrapping anything, just hanging out in the great outdoors doing stuff and getting a tan. I have lots of photos but no gumption to sit inside and scrap. What can I say but....
Summer! It turns me upside down! Summer summer summer! It's like a merry-go-round.
Magic: The Cars
I hope you are all enjoying your Summer in the North and Winter in the South.
I am off to tuck in Tyler.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to sign up at Jessica's.

It's Almost Summer
My goodness, I just finished reading approx. 30 days worth of postings from nearly 200 blogs. I missed soooo much in scrap land during that time its phenomenal. There were a few freebies I wish I wouldn't have missed out on but that 's how it is when freebies are only available for one week and I go on vacation for a month LOL. What's that saying, "You snooze, you lose."
Well it's raining here, again, today. It rained a good one yesterday too, washing out Tyler's baseball game yet again. Poor kids, they didn't get to play much this semester. Tyler has already said he doesn't want to be on the team next year. He wants a sport he can actually participate in on a regular bases, like basketball. It's indoors so not much chance of getting rained out. LOL
School is finished on Friday and Tyler will be heading up to the cottage for the summer. Ah, to be a kid, oh the fun. Joe and I will be heading up there for a few weeks for his vacation soon too. Yup, another holiday for me, too.
I just came back from a holiday, of sorts. When my family comes here from Europe everything I am doing in my life stops on the dime. They load me up in their rental vehicle and lug me around visiting family members that don't live near us. Like my cousin in Thunder Bay, that was a hoot, and my aunts sister in Vermont. I always have a blast with them which is why I don't mind dropping everything when they come.
I am still transferring pictures over from the camera. I did 4 4 gig sticks already. It's taking me a bit of time because I burn them to disk right away. I don't trust computers enough to let stuff like this lay on the HD for long. There is always that 1 in a million chance that something could go wrong. I have only had one HD crash on me and I literally broke down and cried. I had so much of my work on it. I am sure many can relate to that. I burn my stuff to disk as soon as I can.
I will be missing a lot here in scrap land simply because it is almost summer and when summer gets here I will be enjoying it. Mind you there are always the rainy days and the night times when I can try to get these family photos scrapped but I wouldn't put any money on me doing a lot of that. My family has already been warned not to expect the unexpected LOL
I must get on with my day, thou. I have several things to do today that must be done.
Until we meet again....
Enjoy your day(s)

And a month later...
Hello, Everyone!
Yes, I have been quiet MIA. When was my last post, May 13th.
We got in yesterday morning and it wasn't till later in the day that I was finally able to get online to the scrapping world. 5 hours wasted on multiple software updates and a 3 hours and 35 mins and 31 secs virus scans.
I checked out a a couple of sites after the hockey game (YEAH! PITTSBURGH !!) but I was just too tired to do any further catching up or write you all here. Today got busy too, look at the time, just after 11. I am bushed. It will take me a few more days to adjust and get back into the swing of things. I'll fill you all in more later. I have way too many pictures to scrap n share.
Ah, the pillow is calling.
Enjoy your day.

Suzi & Anon
Just popping in for a spell to address a couple of issues.
1. Anonymous the passwords for any zip file offered here is always in red. If you are coloured blind this may be a problem. The password for CeeCee is party.
I thought about the blindness issues the other day and decided that all future passwords would be in bold letters. (never two words and never in capitals)
2. Suzi I got your email. Check yours in the am tomorrow. I'll send them out later tonight after I put Tyler to bed.
Download issues can happen to any one, including myself.
Recently my gf sent me to a file to download which I did and the file showed it was 48+mb. I scanned it with my virus protection software and then proceeded to unzip it and poof win zip claimed it was a bad file. I told my gf and she resent it and viola it unzipped.
Just this morning I also got another file and the download was intermittent (having breaks in the download). Thou the end file was good it left me wondering what was going on. I noticed a great fluctuation in download speeds too. Once I changed browsers I had no issues. I usually use Firefox but IE was my hero this morning LOL.
I also had problems with Blogger this morning. The site was suppose to go down at 2am and it usually lasts for about an hour thou they claim 10 minutes. This morning I went to publish the comments and it claimed the site was down. I checked with Marie at DigiFree and she too was having issues, with Google.
The outage is now posted for tonight at 2 am. I'll be in dreamland by then LOL
Firefox and Google. Perhaps the two are just too tightly fitted together. LOL
I am off to be with my men for a while.
Thanks for reading this post I hope it helped.
Enjoy your day.

CeeCee Quick Page - Freebie
Afternoon, All!
I hope all you Mother's out there had a fab weekend! It sure was heaven here LOL
I got a hibiscus from the boys called sunny wind, two cards and brunch in bed. We visited our Mother's in which both had parties going on. We had a blast for Mother's Day.
I was able to get another quick page done. This is one page from a set I did for my cousins daughter, CeeCee, short for Cecilia. She is such a sweetie. This is her having fun at her 2nd birthday party. Her third is coming up shortly.
Please remember that I password protect all my zip files. You will find the password in the above conversation. Please remember to write it down or swipe it and save it for you will need it to unzip the file.
I have several big projects to do this week in the house which will keep me pretty busy. One is scrapbooking all these photos our mother's gave me. Hopefully this will mean some more quick pages for you, but not right away.
Enjoy your download and your day.
