Sorry I haven’t been around much lately.  I have been working really hard on all of the blog train kits I have signed up to do so far.  The Starving Artist Blog Train is just the first one in a long string of Blog Trains coming up that I am participating in.

I am also working on 2 extra Thanksgiving kits that will be available Thanksgiving Day, along with some CU items including some scripts that I hope to have finished soon.  I have been a very busy girl.  Just wanted to let you know what I have been up to, didn’t want you to think that I was ignoring anyone or dropped off the face of the earth again, lol.

I will talk to you all again very soon.  Have a great weekend and take care everyone.  TTFN.

If anyone has any more issues with downloads, please let me know right away so that I can try to get it fixed.  It seems that mediafire is running a lot smoother now, so hopefully every thing will be fine.

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments and words of encouragement.  I appreciate it so much.  It helps to inspire me.  In fact, I may even be back later today with another little present for you.  We shall see.  LOL.  Talk to you later.  Have a great afternoon.  TTFN.

Link issue explained

Okay, I feel like I have been beating my head against a brick wall all morning trying to figure out what was going on with one silly little link for the Gingerbread Christmas blog train and why it wasn't downloading correctly.  I thought maybe it had something to do with my bandwidth again and that it may have corrupted the file or something, so I reuploaded it and got a new link.  Then,  I got 2 more emails telling me that the links were invalid.  So, I went in and deleted the old file from mediafire, deleted it from my computer, re-created it and uploaded again, getting another new link.  I got 2 more emails.  Okay, this time I left the old link, created another new zip and tried uploading it, but it kept dying on me.  Grrrrr!!!!

So, I used 3 different computers and tested the link, downloading the file to all 3 computers and unzipping it.  It worked.  Okay, what is going on here?  It's working, right?   But, I got another email saying it wasn't working.  So, I went to check the file again and guess what.....

The issue isn't with me or my computer,  it's mediafire.  They are updating and completely re-doing their website today.  So, all I can suggest is patience and keep trying.  It will work eventually.  It would have been nice if Mediafire had let us know that they were going to be working on the website and may be causing malfunctions like this.

And, just to make sure, here is another link for the Gingerbread Christmas Blog Train Full size kit.

I hope this explanation helps.  Talk to you soon.  Hugs.

Link has been updated

I fixed the link for the Full Size Gingerbread Christmas download.  It should be good to go now.  Let me know if you have any more issues with it.  I apologize for the delay.  I stayed up until about 10 this morning and then crashed, so I didn't see the messages right away.  Hopefully, this resolves the issue for everyone.  Thank you for letting me know that it wasn't working.  I will be back with your next freebies in a little while, just putting the finishing touches on the preview right now.  TTFN.

Check back in with me in a couple of days, I will have another small freebie from this kit available for you.

Okay, now…Again, I must apologize for not getting the last portion of my ‘Fall Harvest’ mini kit out to you in a timely manner.

Our very good friend, Neal, decided to make one last attempt at bagging a deer for this year…and guess what,…..he got one.  He called to let DH and I know that he had one down and was headed back to town to clean it up.  So, we hurried and got in the car and went running.  That is what I was doing for most of the day yesterday, until about 4 in the afternoon.

By the time we got back home, it was time for me to hurry and put something together for today’s blog train.  It is now almost 6 in the morning and I haven’t been to bed yet, working my fingers to the bone trying to get all of this done for you.  LOL.

To top it off, Today is also ‘All Saints Day’ and my DH’s 48th birthday.  I am just not going to have time to slap a preview together real quick with everything else that is going on today.  So, since it is my hubby’s birthday today, you all get the presents today.  I am going to leave it as a surprise, but believe me, it is worth it.  It is all of the last of my ‘Fall Harvest’ elements and papers.

It is soo big in fact, I had to break it down into several smaller parts.  Here are all of the downloads.

I’ll be back later with the Scrapbook Max Booster Packs.  It is taking almost an hour to upload just the Full Size and Tagger Size files alone.

Don’t go away just yet, though.  I am not done yet, lol.  I also have 2 more Luggage Tag Back freebies for you, also.  Since I am running so far behind, I decided to give you both of the tags.

I think that is all I have for you today.  As if I could possibly hand out any more freebies today.  LOL.  Check back in with me tomorrow and I will have the first alpha for ‘Fall Harvest’ available, along with the next Luggage Tag Back for you.

Take care everyone and have a most excellent November 1st.  Hugs to all.  TTFN.

Fall Harvest Part 6 Freebie is Finally Ready

Thank you so much everyone for being so patient with me in getting this posted, 2 days late now.  Oh my goodness.  I swear, everybody and their Uncle wanted to come over and visit yesterday.  We had company in and out of the house all afternoon.

It took me forever to get my previews done.  And then, when I was finally ready to upload everything, all the members of my household were on the net playing games.  My upload speed was atrocious.  I had to wait until later this morning, after everyone went to bed to finally be able to get everything uploaded and ready to post.  Even then, it took over an hour to do it.  Hmmm, wonder what is up with that?

Saturday will be my last mini kit with #7.  I will have 2 Alphas to post yet, sometime next week.  It is still going to work out that I will be posting a freebie a day until about Tuesday of next week, with the rest of the Ruby Remedy Luggage Tags and the ADSD Gingerbread Christmas Blog Train starting on Sunday.  This will get drug out for a while yet.  LOL.

Well, anyway, here is your freebie for today.  On to the downloads.

Be sure to come  back tomorrow to get the 7th mini kit from me.  I believe yesterday was Carolyn’s last portion for her mini kits, but she may still have some surprises in store.

Also today, you get to pick up the next Ruby Remedy Tag Back in the series.  Here is a look at what you get today.

Also, if you haven't already done so, you can go to Tracy's blog to download the Ruby Remedy Luggage Tag 2.  But hurry, they won't last long.

That is all I have for you today.  Time for me to get busy on tomorrow’s preview.  I ran out of papers, so I will have to put a few together real quick.  LOL   Talk to you later.  Have a great day.  TTFN.

Apologies

Please accept my apologies.  Life has interfered yet again and my 'Fall Harvest' freebie is late once again.
I haven't been able to get much computer work done yesterday, I just wasn't feeling well and running a fever.  I think I sweated it all out last night, though, and woke up feeling refreshed and ready to work.

To top it off, yesterday morning I found out that my computer decided to do a random restart of the system and shut down, closing all of the programs and all of the files that I had open at the time.  *Urgh*  I was so upset and discouraged, on top of not feeling well.  I lost all of the new items that I had been working on to add to the Fall Harvest files.  Oh well, nothing I can do about it now but recreate them and get them added to the next zip file.

That is what I am going to be spending my morning doing this morning.  I will be back a little later with the next preview and download when I get them put together.  For now, though, I have the next Luggage Tag back for you from Tracy's 'Ruby Remedy' kit.

Click on image to download

As I am sure you can tell, most of the Luggage Tag backs have journaling elements on them to provide an area for journaling whatever photo you choose to add to the Luggage Tag front before printing out and using to your hearts desire.


Also, I have had some questions about the .smb files for the 'Fall Harvest' freebies, what they are and how to use them.  The downloads with the .smb file extension are the Scrapbook Max Booster Packs and can only be used with the Scrapbook Max Software Program.  I just wanted to let some of you know that.  I know that there has been some confusion about that and I apologize for not making it clearer.

If you do not already have this program downloaded and installed on your computer, you can go to Carolyn's blog and download a free 30 day trial to try it out and see how you like creating scrapbook pages with it.  Just click on the purple Scrapbook Max banner on the top of her blog and it will take you directly to the Scrapbook Max website where you can download the free trial.  I absolutely love using it to scrap pages with.  As soon as I can afford to buy the liscence for it, I am going to. 

Okay, that is all I have for you now.  I am off to get back to work putting together the rest of the next portion of 'Fall Harvest' part 6.  I will be back as soon as I get it finished.  TTFN.

Fall Harvest Part 5 Freebie

I am back...with the next portion of 'Fall Harvest' for you to download.  Putting this kit together has been a lot of fun and a learning experience for me.  I hate to see the end of it, but I am down to the last little bit of what I put together for you.  I think I will make one last portion for Wednesdays download.  I have another kit that I need to get started on for the ADSD Christmas blog train and a bunch of CT work to do.

Don't forget to stop by Carolyn's blog tomorrow to pick up her next portion.

Anyway, here is a preview of today's portion.

By the time we get done posting all of our portions, you should have a total of a dozen mini kits for one massive mega kit.  Almost like our own mini blog train.  LOL.  I hope you have enjoyed our creations.

Don't take off just yet, though.  I have one more freebie for you today.  I also have the second Luggage Tag Back for Tracy's Ruby Remedy Luggage Tags to hand out today.

If you haven’t already downloaded the Luggage Tag 1 from Tracy, then head over to her blog to pick it up.  But, you need to hurry.  They are only available for a limited time before Tracy puts them in her store.  Grab them while you can.

Okay, I think I am done for now.  I will catch up with you again later.  TTFN.

Tracy’s Ruby Remedy Luggage Tag Freebie

I did a not so smart think recently.  I seem to be doing that a lot lately, lol.  I created some Luggage Tags for Tracy to give out as freebies last week.

Well, silly me forgot to include the backs for the tags for those of you who would like to print them out and use them.  So, here they are.

I am going to start with the first tag, then have another Tag Back for you tomorrow, along with the next portion of my ‘Fall Harvest’ freebie.  This is the preview of what you can pick up today.

Download

If you haven’t already downloaded the Luggage Tag 1 from Tracy, then head over to her blog to pick it up.  But, you better hurry.  They won’t be available for very long before Tracy puts them in her store.  Grab them while you can.

Click on the preview to be taken directly to the download link for this tag.  Then, come back tomorrow to pick up the second Tag Back in the set.

That is all I have for you for now.  Talk to you later.  Take care and have a great day.  TTFN.
