I am Alive

I promise. I know it’s been a year of Sundays since I’ve posted.

I want to say thank you to all those who continue to download my freebies. It was astounding to open my email for the first time in a very long time and seeing that it is still generating hits.

Why am I posting after so long? To let you know that life is leveling back out and so I hope to be able to start making templates again. That is my plan anyways. I haven’t done digital scrapbooking in a while and I miss it desperately.

Look for a Thanksgiving and Christmas freebie to show up soon.

For Christmas I can do one of two things, at least I think I have time for only one or the other.

A mini book (suggest size, shape please) of Christmas themed templates or 4×6 and 5×7 Christmas cards.

I’m leaning toward just the cards, as I’ll need to make one of my own for friends. But I’m leaving it up to you. Leave me a comment and tell me what you’d think you’d like best.

Ciao! ~Crissa

Wow… better late than never right?

Holy crud!  I never look at my stats page.  I really should have several months ago. I was #9 on the list of Blogs of the Day Growing Blogs list.  Back on July 8th, 2008.  How sad that I only came across it today, and how sad that I’m barely getting visits now.

Out of Space

On my current laptop hard drive, since thats the only machine that functions even remotely well its the only machine that I scrap on anymore.  So no open space means that I do one layout at a time, with nothing else open except for photoshop. I fight with the thing running so very slow.  This is the reason for no new freebies in forever, and for my lack of being able to design anything. 

All of that to say that I have a brand new spiffy hard drive that was delivered TODAY!  320 beautiful gigabytes of space, just waiting for me to populate!! As soon as my hubby gets home and starts the reimaging process.

Another bit of fun news is that my hubby has our dns server up and looks as if its running smoothly!  WOOT!!  Which means my store server should be up next!!  Even though I highly doubt that I have any readership here anymore since being so far between posts.  And it seems I only have visitors to my freebie posts anyways. I will still hopefully open a store and see what happens.

Thats the news so far. I’m just about done with a set of templates, I’m going to be doing another set of 12 over the next 4 weeks so be sure to check back often. It will be broken up into sets of 3. Oh and they will be 8×8 size for easy print, since the holidays are coming up.  Also look forward to card templates!! Those will likely be done by November 15th.  I have lots of things planned!

Digital Freebies October Hybrid Challenge!

I’m such a horrible slacker. I should have posted about this such a long time ago.

This months challenge is a Birthday Album! Hop on over to the Digital Freebies blog to read more, or you can just click here. If you participate you will be entered to win a 5$ gift certificate to the Digital Freebies boutique. You do not have to use a Digital Freebies product to participate.

Here is the album I created, I used Amanda Geils Designs My Ladybug. I thought it would be wonderful since my dd’s first birthday party was a lady bug theme. Such a super cute kit!

What Your Jack-o-Lantern Says

You tend to be a goofy, optimistic person.  You enjoy Halloween more than anyone else you know.  This Halloween be as silly as you can – dress up as a giant version of a small object The candy you should give out: laffy taffy

The Jack-o-Lantern Quiz

This is so very odd to me LOL, I don’t particularly care for Halloween. I don’t celebrate it, and neither does my husband.  Still cute.  This Jack -O- Latern I thought was just cute. And I do love Laffy Taffy.
