We've been busy, busy campers lately!
Thank you so much for all your kind comments. They are all very much appreciated and I enjoyed reading each and every one.
We've also made a huge change for the better for our family. We are now homeschooling our oldest kiddo. It was a very difficult decision for us to make and it was a long time coming but we know we made the right decision. It's also already paying off in a huge way too. I haven't seen my son smile that big in a long time.
I am having one of those days, though. I've spent the biggest part of two days now tweaking a file. I want so much for it to cut perfectly and I'm not willing to give up on it. It's just too pretty to abandon it completely. Yes, I have high standards for my files. I want each and every one of them to cut well and look awesome in your projects. That's why I put so much time in creating them and all the details that go into them. I hope you enjoy them and love using them in your special projects.
Until next time, Happy Creating Time!

Woo Hoo! A Reason to Celebrate!
We have lots to celebrate this week-end and I'm not just talking about Halloween. No, we have one very awesome reason to celebrate and it's a very special one for us. We are very excited to announce that Daddy is coming home tonight! Yippee! Yay, and all that! LOL!
He's been away again on military duty and since his plane almost didn't make it there safely, we'll be especially grateful to welcome him home safely once more. Living in a military family makes being home together a truly sweet reason to celebrate.
And that brings me to this week's free file. Here's "With Grateful Hearts:"
I hope you like it as much as I do. I can see so many uses for it: Thanksgiving, a new baby, a thank-you card . . .

Can You Smell That?
Seriously. Can you smell what I smell? Nope, it's not the smell of fall. (Even though the calendar says it's so, fall hasn't arrived here in Florida yet. Nope. Today, it was 91 degrees F! It's not fall here yet.)
No, it's the smell of something very exciting that's happening tomorrow and I can't wait. I'm so excited that I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight. I've got it worse than a kid on Christmas Eve!
So, just what has me in such a tizzy? If you want to know, you'll have to come back tomorrow. LOL! I promise to make it very worth your while!
Until then, Happy Creative Time!

Oh, Hailey!
The winner of the Super Power random drawing is Hailey! Yay! Just for e-mailing me a comment, she wins a free file of her choosing. So, Hailey, please let me know what you want and what format you'd like it in by e-mailing me at ijr41ug @ yahoo.com (take out the spaces).
As for my choice of super powers, I'd like to be able to go back in time. I'd love to get a re-do at a few of my mistakes. That, and get to enjoy my kiddos as babies one more time. Hey, that ability would even come in handy while scrapping! I'd be able to fix any oopsie that didn't turn out so great the first time around. No more fear of ruining that gorgeous sheet of fancy paper. LOL! Oh, and it would save money too. No more having to live with products you didn't like but can't return.
Seriously, I also agree with everyone else's comments about squeezing more time out of the day. Now, if only we could invent a machine to do just that for us without requiring the loss of sleep! We'd be rich.
Until next time, Happy Creative Time!

A Super Power?
I don't know about you, but for us, the week-end just flew past. Hopefully, this week will do the same. LOL!
Are you ready for another journaling challenge? I hope so. I'd like to hear about your super powers. LOL! Specifically, I'd like to know what super power you would like to have and why. Your story just might win you a free file. So, tell me, what would you like to be able to do and why?
Just leave me a comment at the bottom of this post or pop me an e-mail at ijr41ug
@ yahoo.com (take out the spaces) and I'll enter your name into a drawing.
As for the super power I desire, well, you'll have to check back tomorrow. LOL!
Until then, Happy Scrapping!

Let the Week-end Begin!
After last-week's collapse of the ad-free site, I've uploaded this to Mediafire. Sorry about the ads, if you get them, but at least this will give you a working, easy to use download.This file is still covered by my terms of use. Please do not share the file directly. Instead, I'd really appreciate it if you sent your friends here to download it for themselves. The password is iagreetotou and here are the links:
Sorry, these links have expired. This file is on it's way to the

The Week-end's Coming
It's been another long day today. I'm glad the week-end is around the corner. I know I've certainly earned this one. LOL!
I was talking to my students tonight about kids. One particularly sweet lady told me she wanted more kids like mine. I had to laugh. I told her I didn't want more kids; I just want to spin back the clock to start over. I would love to get to enjoy my kids again from the beginning and this time, I would fix all my mistakes. LOL!
And, just what does that have to do with "the week-end's coming?" Well, it's a kind of clue as to what you can expect tomorrow in the free file you'll find here. Yep, I'm revisiting 'baby-land' but only in my file. (To my family and friends: I'm not pregnant. LOL!)
Until then, Happy Scrapping!
