Blog Freebies

Hi, as I've been hunting freebies, too, when I first started with digital scrapbooking, I thought I might give something back in offering a little Freebie for my Blog visitors, too. And who doesn't like freebies.

I don't ask much...just to give **proper credit** when posting one of your layouts using the whole or just parts of this freebie.
And if you'd like to share this freebie, send your friends over to my blog. Pls do **not**share it yourself.

Freebies are samples - little goodies of what a designer has to offer and a gift to you. Respect the designer's work.

Smells like spring

Thank you and take care, wherever you are

Birthday Bash at S2G


Hi again, just wanna drop you a small note and let you know that we're celebrating Denise's Birthday at the Site today. It'll be a big party with lots of goodies to grab, chats and challenges and more...you should go and participate!

Furthermore I've been working on some banners for the NationalScrapbookingDay Event at SBB, where we're listed sponsors, among others of course..but I'm excited and curious to see *my* banner on such a big site!!! Guess as the site is pretty big, I'll have to look around a bit until I find them lol.
So I'll let you go for now, as you can see I made the change i was talking about in my last posting, I hope you like it, I do!

Bye and take care wherever you are

Need a change..

First of May, a day off in Germany..nice for Jana : no school lol
So we've been invited for breakfast at a friend's house (it was very nice, the kids left us alone and went out playing in the backyard so we were able to talk about all this serious adult's stuff that wouldn't be for kid's ears - lol) and then made this bicycle tour..I must admit that I'm not really a bike addict as my parents are (they are doing these beasty mountain bike tours like 5 days on the bike without a rest lol) or these friends with their kids ( "I can relax when sitting on my bike")
My DH is not keen on cycling either..we do have bikes but hardly use them and we got them as an act of kindness from my parents some years ago. But these bikes don't really fit, so this tour became a torture..it's not been my physical fitness that has been a problem but this inconvenient bike which made me suffer after a while, poor Joshua on the back kids' seat must have thought his Mum is a nervous wrek as I couldn't really sit still, trying to find a position to sit on this bike's saddle without going crazy. Boy, I was really trying hard to relax...I can tell you I was happy being back home again after these three hours of *relaxation*.

Later tonite I thought it would be time for a change..while sitting on my nice office chair I thought of changing my entire blog...as usual I found out that the idea in my head on how to make it and what to change was too much work than to do it just now and fast and immediately and be finished after ....say 5 minutes? (does this sound familiar to you?)
So I tried changing my header but I'm not really satisfied with the result...it seems to be too short and no matter what I'm doing it doesn't even change a tiny bit for the better..so this gave me at least three grey hairs more on my head and I decided to leave it as it is in the end. Strange because I already did change this blog many times ...oh forget it!
Now with all this trying to make the header fit in its place it got late, so I'll leave you now and go on reading my book....
Bye and take care wherever you are

Phew....

Phew! I finally made it to upload another kit...I have a lot of kits somehow ready but I'm never really pleased with them ..so I go on changing this and adding that or deleting the other piece...and then there's still all those other things I'd like to do...just do some advertising for me and my work and I end up reading threads and figuring out which would be the best way to do it and I'd like to go on with other kits I have half ready...and than there's this "all together " project for May and the one for June and and and...

I wonder how the others manage to do it all : have entire kits ready within one day, posting, advertising, cooking, going out with the dog, being loving wife and caring Mum and perfect housewife..is it only my day that has 24 hours only ...am I too critical?...

It's not that I'm feeling bad right now but seems as if I do something wrong....lol

Guess my bad habit of doing one million things a little bit somehow and then end up with a lot of stuff under construction will never change...oh but inbetween the cooking and the designing and and and I got a little LO ready..nothing big, just to get Aby's brush challenge rolling a little bit..here it is:

So at least a little tiny bit I finished...now I'm waiting for the files to be uploaded and then I'll go to bed and maybe go on reading...book's waiting...

Don't be too critical and don't be too hard on yourself...

Take care, wherever you are
