Princess Bag of Words Freebie

Just a quick post as it is already midnight and its been a busy evening here. Our local dive club was doing its yearly VIP inspections for everyone's tanks and all the Club's tanks as well and Sean and I helped out for about two hours this evening doing inspections etc. Marc is doing a 30 fasting for World Vision, he was raising money for that this week, Alex has a friend sleeping over, and to say it was a busy night would be putting it mildly.

Please enjoy tonight's freebie, I'll be back tomorrow... I have to get up and take Sean to work for 5:30, I'm going to stay with him until 9AM and then go get Marc and feed him breakfast before dragging him back to the dive club shed to finish up VIP's and Air Fills.

Tonight's words are the Monday to Sunday, January to December and some Holiday Words...AND I included the bag 3 that was missing from the third bag of words set. Please enjoy.

Princess Z Element Freebie

Here is the almost final post for the Princess and Mischief Sets. I have a bag of words I will give out sometime this weekend so if your looking for specific words let me know in the comment section or via e-mail and I'll try to add them to the list. Thank you to those that let me know that the last bag of words was missing the bag, I will rectify that this weekend as well by posting a link to the bag that should have been included. Just a quick FYI, this element set does not have the floral numbers similar to the floral alphabet, there werevno numbers in that font set.

Please enjoy tonight's freebie and I'll be back this weekend to post the bag of words for Princess and Mischief.

Princess Numbers Part One Freebie

Okay so my preview tonight is not up to my usual standards since I thought I had these all done. I'm going to have to split these numbers into two files part one tonight is just the beads and tape styles. I'll upload part two tomorrow with the chipboard and metal styles as long as I get them done during my lunch time otherwise I'll start with the Mischief Z stuff and do those elements in two parts as well.

Here is the preview I have so far, it is just the beads and the tape numbers as I mentioned. Please enjoy and I'll be back tomorrow.

Princess Z Paper Freebie and Happy Birthday Tanya

Today is my oldest daughter, Tanya's 22nd birthday. We ordered Chinese Food for dinner and she had asked for chocolate cake-so we picked one up for her. It seems like just yesterday that she was born....all 4lbs 12 oz of her. Speaking of which my brother Gaetan and his wife Catherine had their baby yesterday... a little boy which they named Sebastian. Alexandra has a basketball tournament in Hamilton this weekend. On the drive home Sunday I hope we get the chance to stop in and say hi and take a few pictures which I WILL have to share. (They live three hours away and Hamilton is about another two hours past their place.)

Yes Michelle, Sudbury is where we take Alexandra to basketball practice we are just south east of Sudbury by about an hour in a town called North Bay. It is the major intersection through Ontario as you have the north and south traffic from Toronto to Timmins (Hwy 11) run through town and also the East/West (Hwy 17) going from Ottawa to Sudbury then on to the Ontario/Manitoba border.

Princess Letter Z Freebie

Okay, so I took a day off from posting but I don't feel guilty since we have this last set of letters and one more bag of words once I've posted this last set. If your looking for specific words, now would be the time to send me your suggestions.

It was a change in weather again today we went from snow on the weekend to a beautiful sunny day with a high of about 10 degree's. I know that's not really warm but after a winter of snow and the occasional day with temperatures of -30, 9 degree's is warm.

Please enjoy tonight's letters and I WILL be back tomorrow with the Z Papers.

Princess Element Y Freebie

I'm happy that I'm getting some suggestions for my next school themed kit. Does anyone have any suggestions for letters? I thought Varsity Type Letters for the High School Years but for the grade school years I'm still not sure-so I'm open to suggestions. Keep the e-mails and comments coming for the primary kits. I'm looking for words that describe each school year (ie Grade One- Recess, Lunch box, Learning to Read etc.) so please send me your idea's-this kit will be based on your idea's as well as mine so if you want to see something in particular, you better suggest it.

So tonight's freebie are odds and ends I had created for these kits, I hope you enjoy these and find them useful in your layouts. The Z Element Set will be the co-ordinating numbers to the Alphabet so please make sure you stop by to pick those up. In the meantime, please enjoy tonight's posting.

Princess Y Paper Freebie

I thought I'd give you an update as to my idea's for my upcoming kit after the Princess and Mischief Kits. There were many idea's sent to me and I wanted to keep on a kids theme at least until the end of the school year so I'm going to do a School Theme. My basic colours are from the Crayola Box of 16 Colours and I'm thinking of doing papers for each grade level, some photo mattes and journal blocks for filling in school memories. If you want certain events highlighted in this kit, please let me know. My kids are all in High School so you may have to remind me of some of the highlights for each grade level along the way. Things like Field Trips, Car Wash Fundraiser's, school trips to the zoo etc. (suggest quotes etc too) I'm going to start with the primary grades and move on to high school so send me your suggestions-I'm looking forward to working with your idea's.

Tanya my daughter gave me a decongestant last night-wow it cleared my sinus's and congestion right up only problem was that I didn't sleep a wink. So tonight, I'm exhausted-beyond exhausted but I did get some cough medication that should work tonight and help me sleep. So enjoy your papers and I'll be back tomorrow after a good night's sleep with Elements.

Princess Letter Y Freebie

I'd like to thank Michelle for worrying about me. I know I've been away all weekend and normally I'll pop in to tell you what is going on but I spent my lovely Easter Weekend in bed and it sounds to me like I'm more barking like a dog than coughing but I did manage to get into work today.

First as promised here are the pictures I have of my kids from their formal.

The young man on the far right is my son Marc, I can't believe he is 18 already.

The young lady on the left is my daughter Alexandra, SHE is ONLY 14... as are her friends can you believe that? That cute puppy is Jersey, she is a year old and weighs about as much as I do.

Now on to my letters-I hope you enjoy them. I will be back tomorrow with the Y Papers and an update as to what I'm considering for my next project. I'm also going to extend the sale I have been having since I was away on the weekend and was unable to upload some items to the store as well. I'll extend it until April 13th as that is my oldest daughters 22nd Birthday and I should be able to get everything up and to the store and it should also mark the end of the Princess and Mischief Alphabet sets.

Sorry about that.

Princess X Element Set Freebie

Just a quick post tonight as I only made it until 1:30pm today at work. So much for positive thinking. I'm off to bed early but I hope you enjoy the elements. I have included the letters B, A & Y so that you can spell Baby in 16 types of blocks, oak orbwhite in eight of the Princess Colours. I will be uploading them to the store in a few days along with the Mischief Sets as soon as I feel well enough. Have a good evening and day on Tuesday see you all tomorrow. Oh, and there are only 4 tape words... X words were tough!

Princess X Paper Freebie

Almost near the end-so hard to believe. I have a million idea's running through my mind for my next kit. It won't be as long as the Princess or Mischief set but hopefully just as much fun. I think I might be coming down with a bit of a cold as I have a cough and sore throat. I had Sean rub some Vicks on my throat and chest and I put a turtle-neck shirt on. Its not a cure but makes me feel better so in it's own way its working. The wonderful power of suggestion-since I refuse to be sick. (Lets see how that works out for me in the morning!)

Well, please enjoy the X Papers. Those of you using my papers to create books spelling out your children's names can finally spell Alexandra or Alexis. I know its been a long wait. Please enjoy tonight's papers. I will be back tomorrow with the element set which is a baby theme. Just a quick FYI, I've extended the sale date until Monday April 5th which is Easter Monday. I know alot of people were away March Break, and I have a few more items I hope to add to the store this week and I wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to purchase those at a discount as well.

Princess Letter X Freebie

It was a nice Saturday - Sean and I went for lunch with a girlfriend of mine and her husband. It was nice to go out as a couple with another couple. I think that is something we should do more often-even if it is just for a walk along the waterfront or lunch. This afternoon I got upset for not being able to find anything in the pit we call the storage room-Sean came upstairs and held me while we watched a show on my laptop. I know it was silly to get upset because I couldn't find my needlepoint bag with my tape measure-but I did tell Sean I was PMS'ing. Seriously though, it was nice and he went and got my hair brush out of the bathroom and my spray in conditioner and brushed my hair for a bit-totally melted my heart and relaxed me.

My knitting is coming along, I turned the heel earlier this evening and so I'm at the easy part now -well easier since it is just straight knit from now on till I get to the decrease part for the toe. I did spend a fair bit of time knitting the past couple days-the next few won't be spend on knitting as much-but it was very nice to get back into it. Can you imagine what it was like when the only socks you had were ones someone knit for you? I think I would be barefoot most of the summer and save my socks for winter if that was the case. I couldn't knit that fast or that much for six kids and a husband. lol.

So I'm liking the idea of a school theme for my next kit. If anyone has colour suggestions-please send me your suggestions. As well as suggestions for clubs, events, and occasions (As well as words) that you would like to see. Please enjoy tonight's freebie, I will be back with the X Papers tomorrow.

Princess W Element Set & I thought I was being so smart!

I had a good chuckle when I went to bed last night and finally turned out the light. I thought I was being so smart planning ahead, getting some of the alphabet, paper and element sets ready. I even zipped up tonight's posting after finishing up the preview and uploaded it to 4 shared and the store. No sooner has my head hit the pillow do I realize I forgot to make the decorative beads so I will have to do the preview again and re-upload the file. Not a big deal-but just seemed funny when I thought I'd been so smart.

Michelle in NM, I'd love to send you an HGTV crew to your place, better yet I wish my brother would hook me up with Holmes on Homes as they have worked together in the past but no such luck for me either as apparently I live too far away from him. My younger brother Marcel is a contractor in Toronto/Missisauga area, check out his page here... under Featured Projects, there are historical renovation pictures-that is his house. It use to be an old church that was renovated. The kids love going there as the bell is still in the steple. The neighbours all know when he has company as everyone wants to ring the bell. lol.

Tonight's freebie may not be the most creative I've ever put together, but Mariana Barros offered these bears as a freebie with a $10.00 purchase at ScrappinMix awhile back and I thought they would suit kids pages just perfectly. I've included beads, some frame wrappers that look like Birthday Present Curly Bows. I hope you enjoy them

Princess W Paper Freebie & Updates

I don't normally announce what is upcoming in the Element Packs however, I have decided since we are so very near the end that I would share the upcoming theme's for each set.

W-Birthday

X-Baby

Y-Odd's N Ends

Z-Co-Ordinating Number Sets

If you have anything in particular you are looking for or would like... let me know as soon as possible as I will try to include it in the Odd's N Ends Set. The Baby Pack will include a sampler of my baby blocks in the Mischief or Princess Colours that I will be uploading to the store. Check here as Humbug Graphics Galore has baby blocks available on her blog for free. If you like her work, why don't you consider making a donation as she has been trying to save up for new RAM and has been using an older laptop until she has the funds (that laptop has since died) and now she is using an EVEN older laptop.)

I've also decided to extend my 50% off Sale until Easter Monday (April 5th) as I am planning on uploading an Easter Add-On (and there will be an easter Freebie that weekend too).

Please enjoy tonight's papers and I'll be back tomorrow with the Element Sets.

Princess Letter W Freebie

I'd like to thank everyone that has e-mailed me with idea's on what to do next after I'm done the Princess and Mischief Kits. I have a few idea's now. Thank you, but please feel free to keep sending me more. Sorry I did not post last night as planned. The sale I have going is keeping me busy creating personalized papers and I also took the opportunity to spend a few hours with Sean and the kids as a family since he had been away the past two weeks and had to work yesterday and today. (And will be going away again in April.)

So without further delay, here are the Princess Letter's W. Please enjoy them and I will be back tomorrow with the Princess W Papers.

Princess Element V Freebie

It was another long day at work and I'm glad to be home tonight to a quiet house. Alex is having her girlfriend sleep over tonight-she was absolutely bored today with no one else home. She had the ferret out all day though and the two of them played... found evidence of that on the stairs when I got home... but... the house is still clean... even the kitchen which I think goes to show you who really makes most of the messes around here boys. lol.

So please enjoy tonight's freebie. I have included five bead sets in this kit-and yes some of the elements have been re sized to fit in the preview. I had to include the tulips as it has been so beautiful here the past few days after all the snow we have had this winter that I'm anxious for spring to arrive. (Usually we still have snow-and its not unusal for snow to fall in March or early April here.) I'll be back tomorrow with the Mischief letter V, in the meantime-enjoy the freebie.

Princess V Paper Freebie and the SALE continue's

Wow, seems the Sugar Gliders are popular and I've had LOTS of questions and comments. Sugar Gliders are native to Australia, they are marsupials and not part of the rodent family like squirrels and chipmunks... although are just as cute (okay, cuter) if you ask me. I did think they were the same family when I first heard about them due to thier similarity to flying squirrels. If your interested in them as pets though I do suggest you check your local by-laws because some cities/districts have laws against them. Also to note-they are only pregnant for 16 days before they give birth to a very very tiny Glider that makes its way to the pouch to reside for 6 to 8 weeks, so if you have a male and female... you could have a whole zoo before you know it! I don't recommend these as pets for everyone-they are lots of work and require fresh fruit and water daily-you can't just go away on holidays for a day or two like you would a cat or fish! But since I already have a zoo with six kids, a dog, a ferret, a lizard what's two sugar gliders to the mix. (Might I add they are both females-I made sure before bringing them home! Whew...that would have been interesting!)

Just a reminder that I have a sale for 50% off purchases of $10.00 or more if you use the coupon code KS_GoingNuts . You can find my products here. I decided to have a March Break Sale until the end of the month as Sean is away on course, the boys are gone and it is just the girls and I this week. This is a great time to catch up on some of the past freebie's you missed or some of the Add-On's that were created. I also uploaded to the store on Sunday the Element Sets A to M and as a bonus included the Bag of Words Set 1 & 2

You can purchase either of these sets here and if you use the coupon code KS_GoingNuts on purchases of $10.00 or more you get 50% off.


So tonight's freebie are the Princess V Papers. I will be back tomorrow with the Elements... which reminds me-I just realized that I had not included a decorative bead set in the last element set as promised... (can't believe no one scolded me for that!) so I will include two... maybe three in the V Set.

Princess Letter V Freebie, My Sugar Gliders & Coupon Code

It seems a number of people discoverd my blog part way through the alphabet and have asked for the Element Sets in an A to M Pack similar to the paper and alphabet packs I had previously put together. So, finally-here it is the Princess and Mischief Element Packs and I've added the Bag of Words Set 1 & 2 as a bonus. Since it is March Break and it is just the girls and I here for the week, I've decided to have a special coupon for 50% off purchases over $10.00. Look for it below the preview's and it will last until the end of the month. This is a great way to catch up or purchase some of the paper or holiday add-on's that were created.

Use the coupon code KS_GoingNuts for 50% off purchases of $10.00 or more.

I promised you pictures of my girls Peanut & Buttercup, my Sugar Gliders. They are a two years old and are not the type of pets I recomend for just anyone. They require lots of attention daily as well as a diet of fresh fruit and vegetables. They also eat mealworms, chicken and scrambled eggs & yogurt. I think thier favorite is watermellon. Little common known fact about sugar gliders is that they don't actually eat most of thier food as thier throats are only the size of a toothpick. They chew up thier food, suck out the juice and then spit out the remaining pulp. They only eat thier favorites-like watermelon and mealworms. This is one of the girls hanging from the top of thier cage eating a slice of banana.

One of thier favorite games is when we take them on the stairs. One person stands at the top of the stairs and the other at the bottom and they jump from one person to the next. We had Dylan my nephew visiting and I was able to snap this picture of him with one of the girls jumping to Sean. It is amazing to see them glide like that.

This beautiful lady sitting in the tent in my living room is my best friend Mary. When we first got the girls to get them use to us we set up a tent in the living room and let them play aound us while we sat in there with them. After awhile they started to take treats from our hands, and eventually pick them up and play with them. (The tent has now been put away)

Tonight's freebie are the Princess Letter's V. I can't believe how close to the end we are and I'm trying to come up with idea's for what may come next. One idea I have is a "Simply Basic's" group of items. Create a set of papers and elements using a colour theme. Basic elements like paper clip, binder clip, ribbon, bow, ric rac, frame, etc (the basic's) I could change the colour theme weekly. I'd even be willing to accept colour swatches to create the basic papers in various textures and elements. Anyway, enjoy tonight's letters and I will be back with papers tomorrow.

Princess U Element Freebie

Another long day at work but at least the sun was shining and I managed to get outside to drop the mail off in the mailbox and enjoy some sunshine. Came home however exhausted and worn out. TC stayed home sick today as he is coming down with the flu, Marc left for his Dad's early for March Break as they are heading to the Dominican early tomorrow morning.

Here is tonight's freebie, please enjoy.

Princess U Paper Freebie

I'm so thankful I thought of putting tonight's posting together last night and getting it zip'ed and such. I came home to my daughter Tanya having dinner in the oven (thank you for little girls who grow up, move back home and are willing to cook...actually love it) She made ribs and they were really good-just wish I felt better to enjoy them more.

So here is tonight's paper freebie-I really wanted to share a picture of my baby girls with you (my sugar gliders Peanut & Buttercup) but I'll save that for later this week as my head is pounding.
