Thank you Digi Free!

Good morning and I hope this thursday is finding everyone in good spirits and feeling better than I am. Man, over the last few days I've been doing alot of "ketchup" on blog friends and everyone is talking about being sick and feeling yucky! Guess what!? Now I'm sick too. YUCK! It started with this annoying tickle in the back of my throat and by bed time last night I felt yucky, but I had trouble sleeping all night and when I woke up this morning I had a full blown cold. EWWWW!

Well on to other things.

I have been graciously listed in Digi Free's blog today. Thank you guys for doing so and commenting to tell me so. I have listed you in my Blog roll.

Guys, if you have not been to digi free to see what they have, you need to go check them out. They have tons of goodies listed today, so many I cannot even list them all. Lots of Freebies for your scrapping endeavors, check them out here and don't forget to snag a blinkie for your page.

Now, I have been MIA for a few months now, I am sorry to all who were downloading and coming here to download only to find the files were gone. I went through a divorce recently and have been working multiple jobs to make ends meet, BUT, the good news is I am back online, and I'm working from home. My website is
www.soaps-n-suds.com Check it out and look through the online store for lots of Handmade Candles, Natural soaps, bath bombs, lotions and many other goodies. :) I will be listing the full kits, alphas and patterns in the store this week, so those interested in the kits, that found me on ebay keep posted there. :P

Also, I will be working on reinstating all of the past freebies for people who found me and came but the lists were disabled. What happened was, when I went MIA, I hadnt gotten to sign on to baby my file share account and after 30 days they deleted everything. :( So, I have over 50 freebies to upload AGAIN. This will take some time, but I will post as they are listed.

Yesterday I posted some new Flutterbies paper butterflies samplers. I picked the cutest ones, I posted some papers, word art and a quick page... So, Snag them up below. ;)

Thank you for visiting, please do leave me a comment when you stop by. Snag my banners for your page, and let me know you did, and i'll list you on mine as well.

Don't forget to visit soaps 'n suds and link it on your pages. I appreciate you.

NEW! In the SPOTLIGHT : Princess Pamela, Digitreats

Princess Pamela of digitreats is by far, one of my favorite scrap bloggers, for her fabulous original designs and funky fresh LO templates. She is a highly talented young woman from Canada and she loves to scrapbook!
Pamela is currently working on building her own website and eStore, just like I am, and let me tell you, it's looking GREAT!

I want to express how much I really enjoy visiting her blog, and to do so, I am sending you on over there to meet her for yourselves. This week she has some awesome goodies up, and one of my favorites is the Funky Template and Layout. I used it to scrap a picture of my mom and myself from 1979 when I was a year old. I was riding along from our house to my grandparents house on her bicycle. ( awh, isn't lil' Rachel cute? lol)

Pamela's Template's are creative and unique, and I personally cannot wait for digitreats to be open to the public!! Here is a shout out to you Princess!! Thank you for your shares and hard work, it is really appreciated over here!

A Shout Out to Hilmarose

It's so great. This morning, Neena is taking a nice little nap and I am getting a chance to sit down and actually get a few things done for my freebies.

I thought I should post a couple of tutorials up here pretty soon to teach who ever may be interested the art of making your own scrap elements.. ya know, for a few of the little things that ya just don't see laying around everywhere but you just have to have... like making your tag strings. Man, we need tag strings always! lol

I want to take this time to comment on a little something. I was looking at Hilmarose blog today, and I downloaded a few of her templates. Altho I make my own goodies and elements I still use freebies from others because they just have some great concepts that I didnt think of!! Anyhoo, I noticed on the few downloads I did today that so many people download our stuff and very few of them post a thank you or a comment. I wanted to thank her for all of her kindness, because it is nice to feel appreciated for what we do, and I like to post links to my favorite blogs on my page, one) so I can go back to it easily and two) so I can share their talents and blessings with everyone else. Hilmarose, if you are visiting today, Thank you for all you do in sharing your wonderful templates and as soon as I get your permission I want to add your link to my page. I would also like to make you a mini banner to add to your page for others to snag. My little gift to you for all you do for ever one. :)

I want take this moment to ask everyone snagger and designer that enjoys our goodies, Mine, Hillmarose's, Rose.li and so many more, if you are downloading our freebies, please take the time to tell them thank you for their time and efforts. :) We love feeling appreciated, and it keeps us wanting to create and share with you. :)

Hugs,

Rachel

PS- Some great freebies coming today... keep posted.
