Freebie yes I think you will like this one :)

Oh I have a treat for you...I really think you will like it. well I hope you do...
But I also have some other fab news to share with you as well, so pull up a chair, grab a cup of your favoured drink and start reading lol....
So I have been having mega heaps of fun over at DSDI.. If you havnt checked the site out yet, I highly recommend it, we are growing slowly but surely.. And we have some amazing designers and some really lovely ladies who form part of the team as well as some absolutely beautiful ladies who have made us there home..
We removed a couple of challenges but added a couple more, so 22 challenges, I told them they should add another 8 and we could have one challenge for each day of the month with one left over to catch up rofl...
So I didnt get many done last month, this month my goal is to try accomplish all of them..

I am pretty sure it was Jewel and Janie, but anyhow, I talk alot apparently so they honoured me with this awesome blinkie rofl...
Should I be ashamed, nahhh I have to much fun there :) Its says Mozz 1000 posts at DigiScrap Drive In...
I wear it proudly lol...
I also get to host a challenge there this month.. woot woot, so if you got nothing to do, please come join me..
I am hosting the Picture This Challenge  << click it lol... Or if you dont want to play with me, then there are plenty of others that are heaps of fun., or you can just pull up a chair and chat with us :)
So anyway Several of our ladies are having their grand opening sale and oh boy what treats they had up their sleeves...
I have to share these with you, I am sure you will understand why when you see...
And the really lovely part is on top of  the extras that come with several of their kits, which are discounted for their opening, all you have to do is spend $1.99 yeah thats right not even $2 and you get this fantastic grab bag for free... And what they packed into that litttle bag will blow your socks off...
There are some really fabulous cu items, a full kit including matching cardstock, and glitters, seriously, I dont buy grab bags but I would pay for this one.. But you dont have to right now its free..
Quick go check this thread grab your money and go , I promise you will not be sorry and your going to get so much value for your money.. Then Denise bought out another new kit, I was like ohh no you ladies are just so unfair, my piggie bank took one look at me drooling all over the screen and ran as fast as his little legs would carry him squealing all the way.. rofl didnt do him any good, he is hiding from me now lol....
Now I cant figure out what to play with first lol...
Anyway here I will show you what I am babbling on about.... ( all are clickable :)

This is Jewels Latest,,, (Mad Genius Designs)

Next is Janes (Little Red Scraps)

And Next is a Beautiful Kit between Lorry (Altered Sea) and Jane (Little Red Scraps)

And last but not least, I so love what I saw when I first saw this kit for the first time, 

and its even prettier now I have it... 

Isnt it just gorgeous,... This is by Denise (Digidesigns by Denise)

lol I have so many of her things :)

( Denise's kit doesnt come with grab bag, thought I better put this here)

So like I said well worth popping over and having a look, spend $1.99 get grab bag free, or spend $2.99 and get 25% off your order and you will get the grab bag,,,

And I will post again about this next post, Snickerdoodles Design by Karen and Just So Scrappy will 

be opening there stores next Monday, you wont want to miss that :)

Heyyyyyyyyyy hang on, you wanted a freebie didnt you lol 

So here you go, this is my entry for last months Color Challenge

and I will do some more... Thanks... 

so ok here you go...

No longer available

Have a lovely one people where ever you may be *hugz*

Freebie Heaven lol and a lot to chat with you about..

Hiya ladies.
How are you all going with the silly season? I am just not getting into it this year, really not sure why, but just cant get there... But its no biggie there is always next year right?
So anyway I do have such alot to blog about this time around, so sorry to those who just want to grab and run, but your consolation is there are several things for you to add to your stash..
So my baby girl has finally opened her store.. Check my previous post for the details and links, and do check her blog as she has several things up for grabs...
But now well you know I have been looking for somewhere to call home, FOUND IT ... lol..
What was I looking for, well certainly not a site that looks like it has alot of people but the reality is it is only a massive amount of site cts designers and forum moderators...
I was looking for genuine people who not only offered fantastic products but also genuinely cared about the people who came to their site, and made them feel welcome..
Thats so important, most are looking for somewhere to join in make friends and have fun .. True..
I know I was.... I wanted somewhere that was fairly active and of course had good challenges cos I love them, thats how I learnt to scrap through the challenges and I still really love playing them...
I got such a beautiful and warm reception and also loved the kits I could see in the store, and the challenges , lol I still havnt finished them all ... But I am almost there... And I have had so much fun doing them..
Well these wonderful ladies took to me as well and yesterday I was asked if I would like to join their team..
What was my answer "YES" of course  lol..
I can see myself  making some truely wonderful friends  and having tons of fun ...
So where you are asking.. I am officially a Paper Shaker at DigiScrap Drive In
I invite you to come have a look, I am positive you will love what you see and want to join in.
If you enjoy challenges then you will be in heaven... Plenty to keep you scrapping the whole month and then some..
They work on a point system, but get this, you get points even if you dont use the designers kits, you just get more points if you use mostly DigiScrap Drive In designers... How fair is that, and believe me its easy to get the points to get your GC .....
Interested? Click Here   That will take you directly to the challenges..
They are also running a 12 Days of Christmas  freebie give away but you have missed most of that.. Cos we are up to day 9 but you can still get some cool parts...

For those of you who are familar with me, you know this time of year these are the people I am 

thinking about.. And this year more so, so many have been made redundant and work is so hard

So spare something for them, even if you can only offer up a prayer, and if you can do more, 

then please do...
