Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! May today and every day be filled with joy and love; friends and family; and may you always be blessed beyond your dreams.

Besides all my baking and cooking, I've been hard at work getting new files up to the store. Here's some of them. And, yes, they are all on sale right here, right now!



Also, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, here's a little free file to celebrate your blessings:


Even though it's not in the picture, "I've" has also been included.

Happy Downloading! Happy Shopping! Happy Creative Time! and most importantly, Happy Thanksgiving!

Gearing Up

First, because a friend asked, let me explain that a flameless candle is battery operated so it's kind of like a flashlight but it flickers just like a candle. They are very cool for making paper lanterns and luminaries and for use around children or pets as they do not get hot.

We're going to be busy little bees around here as we gear up for the Thanksgiving holiday and for the ones next month too.



Tomorrow, I'll be elbow deep in pies. Yep, it's a holiday tradition whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter. I must bake at least one Caramel Pecan Pie and one Upside Down Apple Pie with Pecan Topping as well. "Must" is the key word here. I don't think my family would allow me to sleep in the house Thursday night if I didn't bake pies first. LOL!



And to help you gear up for the holidays I've also made a sweet little treat for you. It even says so in my very own handwriting right on the front. See, here's my Kinetic Candy Pouch just for you:

While the bottom photo shows the ribbon untied, it is not necessary to do that. Just pull up on the bow and the candy pops up. Nifty and sweet, huh?

Please keep in mind that this file, while it is a gift to you, is still governed by my Terms of Use. Please do not share the file with others. Your consideration is very much appreciated!

It Fits!

I got the loveliest e-mail this past week-end! Debbie Wright sent me some beautiful pictures of one of my votive candle files that she made. It was beautiful. Yet the best part of it all is that she discovered that my votive files fit perfectly on the Febreze Flameless Luminary Candles. Here, see for yourself:

Pretty cool! Don't you think? I know I was tickled and I bet you'll be seeing more votive files in the near future. LOL!

Thanks, Debbie, for the awesome discovery!

Oh, and don't forget to keep checking back here. As always, I am a woman of my word and I have a special free file just for those who stop by to visit. I promise you won't want to miss this one!

Until then, Happy Creative Time!

Hey, That's No Turkey!

Today's free file is in honor of Thanksgiving. Woo Hoo! But it just might look like this little one is left over from Halloween and I'm certain the stuffing won't taste anything like grandma's either. Here, take a peek at "Happy Turkey Day Bear":

In light of what happened last week, I feel I must clarify a couple of things.


First, all my files are governed by my Terms of Use. If you are not familiar with them, you can download them right here.

Happy Creative Time!

My List Over-runneth

Why is it I almost always have more things on my to-do list than I can possibly accomplish in one day? Or, I guess I should ask why is it that when I have important stuff on my to-do list someone else always throws something on my list that takes precedence?

In other words, the extra free surprise is going to have to wait. Sorry! But I'm putting it in writing right here: I promise all my loyal friends a free surprise next week. This will be an unadvertised free file so to grab it, you'll have to check back here. I'll make it worth your while though. I promise.

And, just to give you an idea of my priorities: My mother will be on her way here bright and early in the morning. Instead of furiously cleaning house today, I got your weekly free file all ready to go first. Ssssh! Don't tell my mother that! LOL! She might not like that idea. Then again, I still have all day tomorrow before she'll get here and since I know my house is almost always cleaner than hers, I guess I shouldn't stress over it, huh?! Still, you'll know what I'll be doing tomorrow. LOL!

Until next time, Happy Creative Time!

So Sweet!!!

I am so blessed and so very grateful right now. Thank you to each and every one of you for your understanding and kindness. You are all so very sweet!

I have another special free file planned for this week-end but since you are all so sweet, I just might have to slip a little extra something in there. Hmm. Now what could that be?

I'm also so very happy to be homeschooling my son. It's turning out to be one of the best decisions we ever made. And, believe me, that is some of the sweetest vindication we could ever have. (In other words, bullies stink!)

Now, how about a little clue about this week-end's free file? I'll tell you the stuffing can't taste anywhere near as good as grandma's. LOL!

Until next time, Happy Creative Time!

Pardon my Soapbox Moment

I want to sincerely thank all of my cyber-friends who come to visit my blog. I truly appreciate you and I apologize to you for taking a break from the fun stuff for a moment but, apparently, it's time to do just that.

Yes, I am aware of some file-sharing going on right now. I have tried to take care of it privately and professionally. Unfortunately, it's kind of like trying to round up loose puppies after someone has left the gate open. So, please pardon my soapbox moment.

I spend hours and even days making each and every file I create. I take great pride in making my files both beautiful and of the highest quality. I feel you and your projects deserve the best and I wouldn't strive for anything less than that.

My Terms of Use prohibit anyone from sharing my files elsewhere. I appreciate those who abide by my Terms of Use. I truly do. I also very deeply appreciate those who let me know when they see one of my files being shared. In my book, integrity always wins and that's why the person who let me know about the file-sharing will be rewarded with her choice of a free file!

And, while I'm up here on this soapbox, I'd like to give you a couple of numbers. Sixteen. That's the number of sweet people who took a small moment out of their week-end to leave a comment on my file. 16 out of the 540 people who downloaded it.

With that said, I want you to know I really appreciate any and all comments on my files. They make my day and encourage me to keep giving you the best.

Until next time, Happy Creative Time!
