I’m not sure if I have shared the fact that my oldest children do not live in my home. See I entrusted them into the lives of an older couple in an open adoption in 1996. Well as the years have gone by I lost contact with them and just recently found them again because of Myspace.

I now have pictures of my beautiful daughter and just had to put a page together for her. She has turned into a fine young lady and I am so proud of her. She looks so much like my sisters and I that I sometimes just sit and cry from the pure joy I feel. She is mine, no matter what has happened over the years I have NEVER stopped loving her or her brother.

Soon they willl be of an age where they can make the decisions to see me and meet their younger brothers and sister. I am waiting patiently because I know that what I did was out of love and I have suffered each and every day that I have been without them.

Well, I am soon to be back to this full time with a plethora of new kits and commercial use freebies for everyone. I am putting serious thought into new ideas and possibly changing all my kits into commercial use items.

Kiss those babies.

I missed January completely, sorry for my top Droppers because I am not even aware who made the list. I do appreciate those who take the time to visit my little corner of the world and am upset that I did not spread some love. March is here, just two more days and I will celebrate another birthday. Spring is coming up and I can not wait, I am done with winter for sure.

So I am sure everyone can count and that we realize there are only 9 blogs listed. Well I followed the link to my tenth blog just to find it had been deleted. That was kinda shocking to come across, why would someone spend the time dropping if they weren’t going to keep the blog?

I guess there are other reason it could be gone, maybe a hacker took it out, or less sinuous things coulda happened. Kind of like life if you think about it, here today but you could be gone tomorrow. Hmm, think I will get off here and go kiss my babies.

I am working on a new freebie kit for everyone (about time!), I missed New year’s and Valentines Day so I thought it was time to forgo a bit of sleep to create something to share. I have a few pieces done already so I thought I would whip up a layout page and give you a sneak peek at my next freebie.

I still haven’t worked out the kinks in my software or figured out why I can’t access my storage space, but I always have my free space providers. I will work on getting it upload over the next couple of nights so everyone can download by Monday. By then I should have the entire kit done so I hope everyone comes back Monday for their freebie.

Work is work, not gonna complain tonight made myself promise I would not before I gave in and signed on to the internet. My family is doing well these days and I am, not much to fuss over since I tore the muscle in my left shoulder. Oh yeah, I never told anyone about that, I was up late one night staggering into the babies bedroom and fell when I picked him up. I wrenched myself around to keep the baby from hitting the floor and landed on my son’s toddler bed, hurt like you would not believe.

By mid-afternoon the next day I was doing tax returns with tears running down my cheeks. Called in my Mom (she works for the same company) and off to the ER I went. Not broke just tore the muscle and bruised it, they gave me muscle relaxers (nothing stronger because I am still breast-feeding my little Charlie boy) and a sling (not much help actually). They tell me a torn muscle takes longer to heal and hurts more than breaking a bone, couldn’t say about broken bones because I have not broken anything other than my baby toe and my nose. I can tell you my shoulder throbs on a regular basis and I still can’t raise it past elbow height without wincing.

Well thats the last of my rambling updates, I hope you all come back Monday for that kit and remember to kiss those babies.

I have seriously been lacking here in my little digi-scrap world. I have realized that right now it is just not feasible to keep up with the trends and work a full-time job while taking care of 6 kiddos.

I want to take this time today to say that I have been married to one of the most amazing men for 12 years. He gets up every morning at 2 am and goes to work, gets home by 6am and handles all the children effortlessly (or so it seems). They get to school on time every morning, they get dressed and fed. He changes the diapers (we still have two in them), he soothes all the owies, he handles the mid-afternoon meltdowns. I sit at work for 50 hours a week while he keeps the house like any paid housekeeper would. He has dinner on the table when I get home even on the days he takes me to work and picks me up. The laundry is always done, the kiddos are all happy and I am trully appreciative. I can not wait until this tax season is over, it is time for me to spend time with my children, love my husband and be happy.

I need to stop looking for the next big money making trend, money is overrated. Necessary, yes, overrated and over used definetly. Where is the time of the barter system?

I am just about completely drained, lol. Well I am done with updating and installing my programs again, now I am working on a few new kits. I want to get them finsihed by the end of next week but I am not promising anything.

I do have a few layout templates ready just need to save them as .png and .jpeg files for my PSP buddies. Funny thing lately, I get inspired to create something in the middle of preparing a tax return. What on earth is inspiring about a tax return is trully confounding me but it works.

I love the new Photoshop my family bought for Christmas and since it was not a digital download I still have it. Everything else I had has vanished even my tech friend said I was never going to recover them. Oh well, means I can really make a decision based on experience. I do have way more storage space and I am building everyhting with digital scrapbooking in mind.

I have to say that starting from scratch is completely aggravating at this point, I lost every commercial use kit I ever purchased. Which means I do not have access to any of the resources I had available to me before and no way to get them back unless I pay for them again. Not gonna happen I am afraid, I just can not justify paying for them again.

I do have the wonderful resource that is Commercial Use Freebies Only Forum, all of the designers who share their work are just amazing and I trully apreciate their kindness. Now I just need some extra time to sit and download all the items I had before form the forum, that will probably be a significant dent in my weekend.

My plans have slightly skewed in regards to the Featured Designers posts I wanted to begin this week, I am pushing the release back another couple weeks to give me ample time to write a post that trully shows this designers amazing talent. I apologize for the hum-drum and lacking posts, I am working on getting back in the swing of things.

Till next time, kiss those babies.

I had to do a PC Recovery last night and I lost everything! My pictures, kits, software and my Internet Browser all in one swoop is gone. I am told that they are hidden somewhere in my computer but I can not locate them, I will need my tech guy to come and retrieve them.

I was watching a movie on the net with my children when my computer froze and crashed, and the rest they is history. The really messed up part is the other computers that are networked with this one all crashed today as well. I am almost positive it was the Yahoo browser that caused it all. I have been having problems with it for months, it never acted right and hated anything to do with the internet.

I lost all my Bookmarks, so now I have to hunt down sites if I remember them. All of my saved passwords are gone and I can’t remember them, my email has been blowing up from my password recovery requests. SIGH, this is a warning for you all, make sure you back up everything somewhere other than your hard drive. You never know when it may all come crashing down and takes all your innocent info with it.

As soon as I have time to reinstall my broadband connection I will be sharing a new template freebie that I made before all this hoopla went down. Until then, kiss those babies.

Well I started my new job today and I want to appologize now because I am going to be seriously tied up for the next couple of weeks. I found out that I will be the only one working in my store and I am scheduled 77 hours a week. Yep, you saw that right 77 hours a week!

I will try not to neglect this Blog but I am not going to make any promises. I have a few things worked out but only time will tell if they follow the path I have laid out. In the meantme I will try to provide you links to some of my favorite digital scrapbook designers who I know have many wonderful freebie’s to share.

I do a have a few featured designers in mind and I will be releasing one in the next week that I am positive will be worth the wait. She is a wonderful woman and her digital scrap kits are unique and vibrant. I hope you all have a great week and I will see you soon, until then, remember to kiss those babies (I so miss my little ones, by the time I get home they are all sleeping).
