Really not a wild weekend but an eventful. I am working on some files and will have another download next week so if your looking for that. It will be next week. Right now I am trying to find something to wear tonight when we go out and on Saturday for a wedding. It will be a casual wedding, but still want to look our best. The ceremony will be a “ten minute one” I was told. It doesn’t matter. We are excited for the couple.
So today I am running the washing machine like a mad woman so I won’t have to do any this weekend. Saturday we are booked all day from head to toe, but Sunday as it stands right now we have one potential engagement. Potential meaning will the need to watch Nascar, work on cutter files, spend time at home with just us three outway the potential of the engagement. Hmm we shall see.

I am researching the offerings of SVG or SCAL for the Cricut software. So hopefully I will be adding that to my repetoire of files. I looked into offering .eps files, but have been reassured over and over that the .ai files and .eps files are interchangeable for the mac users. So if you have anything to add to my internal SVG/SCAL debate, please email me and let me know.

My little one is going to see his Aunt and Uncle this evening. he is super excited. He hasn’t been to their house a whole lot since the little baby girl came along and he is non to thrilled about the encroachment of his space. He even said we should have a baby girl (WE MEANING ME..::Rolling Eyes::) but then he followed up the suggestion with and the baby can live at Aunt Nannneeees house. My sisters name is Nancy but she has been forever tagged as Aunt Nanneeeesss. So we can have a baby and let it live with my sister. Oh I can see the pleasure in my sisters face when I tell her that situation 🙂 ha. She is probably reading this rolling her eyes right back at me. My Bambino likes to consider babies and other children, but is so happy to have our full attention. I am excited because he won’t have our full attention tonight because we are going with some friends to an evening for dinner. It will be nice to be adults for the evening. Sooo nice.
Well I better go prepare an adult hairdo instead of the Mom twist it up in a twist tie hair do. Look for another download next week. And what do you think of the blog? it is coming around. Learning curve in full force to get it configured, but I am happy with the way it is shaping up.
Have a wonderful weekend and
Enjoy!

Well this is a Terms Restricted File Download Day. Wow That is a mouth full. But the file is governed by my TOUs.
FIRST let me say. If you have hit this link and it says the link has been removed or expired. It is because the download has hit its limit.
Second if you are part of the QMC. No worries I will be uploading it there shortly and you have until the end of the month to download.
Third the password to download here was sent to the yahoo group at the beginning of the week. So look in the history messages for it, if you do not have it.
And Fourth… HERE IS THE LINK… This is a simple file, but being a Mom I am in a creative Mom mode so I have a few files I am working on. The download link includes GSD, KNK, WPC, AI and a jpg file. My understanding is the Create & Cut Software can open the AI on a Macintosh computer. I hope this is true and I have offered it up correctly.
I looked at the calendar and realized in February my blog is a year old. A Year old. hard to imagine, but awesome. So I will be offering a few files to download to celebrate in the next few days. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and just been wonderful.
So my hubby took the kiddo to soccer practice. I checked a few emails while they were gone and then slept. I am feeling 90% back on par. I really think I got sick this time from stress. It does it to you stress stress stress. So we have a full day Saturday and I have decided Sunday will be our day at home. I am really trying to stick to one day a weekend is at home with horses, us, and the list of to dos. Last weekend my hubby put an automatic waterer on my flowers on the patio. Pretty fantastic. I went out this morning looked at the two flowers I bought and they are still perky. No guilt over how I forgot to water the night before. Simply fantastic. My husband is the best!
Oh Darn.. Just realized the horses are banging their feeders. I better run and feed. To bad they don’t come with automatic feeders to. hahah. I am off. Have a wonderful day and Enjoy!

Wow time just flies for me lately. Mon-Weds are just crammed days for me. I am looking forward to Thurs. Then Friday we are busy busy again. I have to head into the office an extra day and Saturday we have two soccer games and then a wedding after that and dinner. One of our dearest friends are getting married. He is like family. We are excited for him.
Lori’s Challenge ended. What a super hard judging. She asked me to be one of the 4 guest judges. Look for Lori’s future challenges. I know she is looking to contact suppliers and come up with some excellent prizes.
Today we have soccer practice and my hubby is coming out to pick up the little one and take him. Wooohoo! So glad. I am a little under the weather and just want to curl up and sleep. I will be glad when the weather here doesnt do such drastic changes in one day. Everyone gets sick and sick and sick. Speaking of that I better go find the soccer clothes. And sneak a few of the cadbury mini eggs. The chocolate ones with the hard shell. yum yum.
I better run.
Enjoy!

I sent out a new password to the group and am working on some files to offer. The QMC members won’t have to worry about this password. However, they will have to worry about missing next quarter. This is the last month in the first quarter. If you would like to reup so you don’t miss anything. Here is the next quarters store item.

Today was the last day to enter in the Challenge over at Lori’s Blog. What a creative challenge. You really had to think about it.

And this is from Sussann on the design team. Mahvelous layout! Full of inspiration. My hubby is down 26 lbs now since the beginning of the year and I am down 10 so far. So we shall see how it goes. I am much slower then he is, but I have cravings. Cravings for chocolate or salt or hmm.. just cravings. So basically I am trying to take it one step at a day. This file is Workin Out with Dumbbells. Congrats to Sussann’s hubby!
And this is from Rosalie. Using my goal file. I have been told Rosalie is buried in Hockey pictures. So I am trying to help her out with some inspirational files!
And this from Vicki. One of the Curly Borders and Accents.Vicki always does great work.
Have a wonderful afternoon and evening!
Enjoy!
