More freebies :) and Halloween!!!!

Firstly I want to let you all know that SAS store is slow at the moment, we have upped the bandwidth a bit but with such great deals at the moment it's like trying to get the best toy on Christmas Eve. Be assured that if you have purchased the Mega Kit 10 for $10 deal your downloads are good for 35 days and it might be a really wise idea to wait until next week to download them, they are mega kits after all and 10 of them and with lots of downloads to each kit it will take a longe time to download them all. With everyone downloading the same items there is bound to be a slowing of our poor server.

Nuff said...

Okay so we don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia, we have kids come to our door but they usually aren't dressed up and they just have a plastic shopping bag for the treats they are expecting. But I always have something for them. I got caught out a few years ago and resorted to giving them some change from my purse LOL. Also about 3 years back on my way home from work on Halloween evening I got stopped multiple times in the street by children (again not dressed up or anything) plastic bag in hand, in groups of like 6 kids asking for treats in the street. No parents anywhere to be seen, what is wrong with these people, this was in downtown Mascot not in suburbia (Mascot is inner city living for those who don't know) and I definitely wouldn't let any child of mine do this.  So that's my experience of Halloween, and now I stay home, don't advertise that I am "with treats" and if they come they come.  If not, we have goodies for a while.LOL

So being that I sell my designs at SAS and it is primarily an American site with American Designers it's all spooky there at the moment with Halloween festivities and pumpkin carvings (scrappy ones) a bingo game and surprises on Halloween eve, which will be tomorrow for us Aussies since we are a day ahead. So if you are after a Halloween kit, or any kit for that matter (50% off this weekend) or feel like knocking on SAS's forum door during your trick or treating go for it :)

Read the post a few down to see what you'd maybe find from me on Halloween at SAS.

Okay onto the good stuff, not that that wasn't good but hey it just gets better. Here is the next set of brag books from Diane created using my kit Gone a Courtin'  This means that the previous download is now deactivated. so be fast to grab this one cause it will also be deactivated when I put up the next one in a few days.

Download Here

And remember my new kit Dress Ups - Princess? Perfect if you're not into black orange or purple and have a princess halloween pic to scrap. Well Here's a free add on to play with, not pictured here is a scalloped mat that you could use with these cute elements. They coordinate with my Princess kit and how do you like my castle I drew? I am loving my pen tool at the moment, who knew it could be so easy.  And I have to thank Atomic Cupcake for her awesome Puffy Felt Action, those elements just look so great with this action applied. If I do say so myself rofl!!

Download Here

Hmmmm I wonder what this is a preview of.....  Looks Yummy doesn't it   Something About Seasons hmmm could that be a clue do you think???

I Love My Hubby

Michael found this cool Camelia Garden that is open free to the public a few weeks ago while doing an overtime shift at Caringbah Station. So today when we went for a ride he told me to take my camera cause we were going there and back, about 46 km round trip on the bike. He put the whole camera case in his panion on the side of his bike and so I had my zoom lens and all with me. Here are some shots I took of my sweetie today. Amongst the 190 shots I took of all the flowers and wildlife (birds and insects mainly :)

And so I love my Hubby cause he is always thinking of me and my passion for scrapping and design, and now photography. I am still learning but practice makes better they say LOL

One of those deep thought looks, either that or he's really bored LOL

Checking the map of the Gardens out, we didn't see it all, he had an overtime shift tonight.

I really like this one, it's with the zoom lens through the trees, he has the most blue eyes doesn't he?

Found somewhere to cop a squat while I snap away at the flowers

In his LIVESTRONG bike gear, not sure what he's doing, but it's not checking out the dunnies in the background LOL

We had a good time and a good ride, though I am really sore LOL. I have been really slack and some of my weight has returned home to Momma which makes the ride harder, but it will help get the weight off again before next winter.

Okay so here is your freebie for today, A quickpage created by Dawne using my Ruby Remedy kit

This freebie is no longer available

Have a great weekend all :)

Lots to tell :)

Okay so I am firstly sorry that I haven't posted for a little while but the digiworld for me has been super super busy.

Firstly at SAS we have our 3 Winners in the Designer competition all signed up and posting kits to the store already.

so without further ado here they are

CuddleBeez Scraps aka Brenda

Maurine Stettler aka Maurine

obviously LOL

Veelana's Designs aka Sarah

Of course they had fabulous contributions to the competition in all 4 weeks too but here I have just previewed the ones from the last week.  Which by the way you can still grab in our gallery free!!!

Okay more news.

I am now selling at Digital Paper Hearts. You will be thrilled to know that Toiny aka Piggyscraps is branching out and has taken on this site and there are big things to come because you know Toiny, she loves a challenge and it is very quiet over there at the moment but that won't last long. Not with all us SAS-y girls invading the place LOL.

So pop on over and join up and watch DPH evolve before your eyes. And maybe check out the store too LOL  Some fablous designers are over there too!

Okay well We had an interesting night out on Tuesday last week. We went to dinner and a show at The Basement in Sydney. We  did the right thing and got the train in so that we wouldn't be driving and yes we did get intoxicated, well enough to have to get a taxi home and I managed to leave my hand bag (no strap just a clutch bag really) in the taxi. Well it only had my phone and a bit of make up in it but nobody has handed it in so I had to go get a new phone on Thursday. Total runaround. And the thing still isn't letting me ring out, pfttt. But I guess that's because I wanted the same number. I can't find all the numbers I had in the other one so if you don't hear from me for a while ring me on my mobile, LOL, that way I'll get your number again. What a nightmare, but at least my purse wasn't in there LOL.

Okay well that's it for now I might have a treat for you later tonight.

Have a great weekend

Tracy
