SR Freebie Day 3

Moving right along towards NSD, I can't believe it's Wednesday already.

Here are the previews for today:

The links:
Papers: 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15
Alpha
Elements: 7 - 8 - 9
QP

I sure hope those few that had problems d/ling from MediaFire were able to get the files. If not, please let me know and I can make other arrangements for you.
Thanks so much for the lovely comments...I do appreciate them and am glad you're liking this kit:)

Now I'm off to take a very late shower and then to install an internet connection for my dh's computer in the garage. I've never done a wireless connection before so wish me luck. Have a great day...what's left of it anyway:)

Big hugs to all...Mollie

SR Freebie Day 2

Hope you like what you've gotten so far and are ready for more:) Here we go...


Papers: 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10
Alpha
Elements 4 - 5 - 6
QP
Again, please don't share the MediaFire links...just send folks the link to my blog so they can download directly from the source...thanks so much:)

And now I'm wondering how many of you have been turned on to Google Reader. If you don't know about it, check it out here: http://www.google.com/reader and make your life easier. I currently keep track of about 140 scrap blogs alone and it's the first thing I do in the a.m. I open my browser to Reader and am presented with all of the scrap folks that have posted something new on their blog during the time I last looked. All new entries are highlighted so you just jump to each one and read/snag away.

The hardest part is when you first start entering all of the sites you want to keep track of...you have to manually go to each site, copy the site addy, then go into Reader and paste the addy into their convenient "Add Subscription" box and there you are. All your favorite sites on 1 page...ya' gotta' love that! You can even move them to different folders. I have folders for 'Blog Freebie Lists' like http://digifree.blogspot.com/, a folder for strictly 'Scrap Blogs' and even a folder for my 'Favorite Designers'. And that's only the Scrap stuff!
I love not having to travel all over the place and try to keep up on the latest and greatest...Google Reader gives it all to me. Give it a shot...and no, I don't work there...lol. I just freaking love it and keep my browser open to my Google Reader page all day:)
Have a terrific Tuesday and I'll see ya' in the a.m.
Hugs...Mollie

Spring Reunion Mega Freebie

Gonna' get right down to business and we'll chit-chat later in the post. I kinda got carried away with this one but I know you won't mind. The name Spring Reunion is mainly based upon the colors I used for the kit and I think you'll find it very versatile for lots of scrapping occasions.

This megakit has 46 papers, over 150 elements, 5 coordinating alphas and I actually tried my hand at making QPs:) I'm not very good at making them but I figured you could add some goodies from the kit to make them even more special.

Warning: There are over 50 zip files to this kit and that is mainly because I kept them on the small side for my dial-up friends. They average around 10 MB each but those of you on higher speeds shouldn't be too annoyed as it'll go really fast for you:) The QP zips are about double that size but there's nothing I can do about that!

I didn't make a preview of the entire kit 'cause there's simply too much to show so you'll have to settle for individual ones. I do have a zip of the previews for you to download so you don't have to snag them from here. I'll be sharing 10+/- zips a day for the next 5 days and that will lead us right up to all the fun, fabulous stuff starting Friday for National Scrapbooking Day on Saturday...I can't hardly wait!

Here's the first 3 of 15 previews, in no particular order...click on the pics of each to get a larger view:)






Here are the links for today...they open in a new window/tab so you aren't farting around with the back button:)

All Previews
Papers: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
Alpha
Elements: 1 - 2 - 3
QP

Please don't send these links around...just send the link to my blog and let people download from here...it's much appreciated. Hope you enjoy the kit!

Chit-Chat of no consequence...lol. My vacation was simply marvelous! Vegas freaked my freak big time! Went to see the Cirque show KA at the MGM Grand and it was quite an experience...I think my mouth was hanging open the entire time! Simply not to be missed. We toured several facilities during our stay with the Bellagio being my favorite inside and out. I could have spent days and days watching those fountains and listening to the music. We dined al fresco at the Paris and when the fountain show started across the street, it was like seeing our dessert instead of eating it.

My stay at the Monte Carlo was very disappointing and I would never recommend it to anyone, nor will I stay there again. When I complained to management about how dirty the room was and the fact that we had to call for towels and washcloths every single day, his reply was to mumble something about the fact that they just had a fire a few weeks ago and each room had been inspected by county officials and was OK'd. Pretty pitiful in my book but I must say all of the staff we ran into in our 5 day stay were just the friendliest folks:)

My personal favorite was being downtown and having the Fremont Street Experience. OMG, I can't even begin to tell you how much fun we had down there. It's so homey and friendly and there is the coolest stuff to see! So many people just milling around and talking to each other and one gal had a drink in a cool glass and I wanted one. So she pointed us in the right direction and we found ourselves at this itty bitty casino where in the back they were serving up the yummiest frozen concoctions you've ever seen in the largest containers you've ever seen. Well, we were in Vegas and had our big girl panties on so the 3 of us gals (sisters) decided to go for broke and get the extra-large size. I chose Mud Slide, I think Debbie had the Pina Colada and I can't remember exactly what Kim chose but it was yummy. During pouring, one of the gals asked us if we wanted extra alcohol and we all said "hell, no" at the same time...lol. But looking back on this, I think she did it anyway...at least to my drink! The rest of this story is hazy but I remember lots and lots of hysterical laughing, Debbie getting brain freeze from drinking too fast and my arms getting tired from carrying around this 1 gallon container filled with Mud Slide and wondering why it wasn't going down much although I was drinking it like mad 'cause it was so, so delicious.

I was past the point of no return when I remembered that Binions was supposed to have the best burgers and dogs around and man, were they ever. First meal we had all week that was under $35.00...and actually, it was under $5.00 and oh, so good. The cooks were saints as they put up with our rowdiness!

The ride back to the strip was just a hoot but I sure felt sorry for my bil Bob...thank goodness he didn't drink but he must have had it 'up to here' with us girls yakking and yucking it up like crazy. The rest of the night can't be told but apparently I was a bad girl...what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...roflol. Everyone else got up at the buttcrack of dawn the next day and I still can't believe they weren't all sick! I just had a kink in my neck and a terrible headache...kink from watching the fantastic light shows downtown. But I got up around 1 and was feeling right as rain. Surprising 'cause I haven't gotten drunk in over 12 years and I'm not supposed to drink because of the meds I'm on so that drunk will last me into my 70's...lol.

OK...enough of this chic-chat. This post will end up being an entire page long...so enjoy the freebies and see ya' tomorrow with more.

Big hugs and hope you're all doing well!

Mollie

My Loves Final

Finally, the last links to this kit can be found here: Link 17, Link 18, Link 19 and Link 20.

Thanks so much for sharing this week with me. All your kind comments and helpful tips about Vegas were a delight to read and I had a great time following all your links:)

Yesterday sped by quickly as I took the twins to see a movie (Vantage Point...don't miss it!) in the afternoon and then we went to dinner and had chinese...yum!

It was the best feeling being able to print my boarding passes this a.m. and that's the first thing I did...lol. Then dh and I made sure all the bills were paid and I explained to him for the hundredth time that some of them were set up to be paid online automatically on their due date. He's not big on technology poor guy...doesn't trust it yet. I'll give him a couple more years to get used to it...roflol:) Now I'm going to make him a big batch of white rice and his favorite jello dish...that will keep him alive for a few days. I'm gonna' worry about him eating and taking his pills while I'm gone but I'll just keep telling myself that he's a big boy now!

I promised a sneak peek at what's in the works for my next kit and I did get a whole bunch of papers finished this week and here's a preview of some of them. I'm calling it Spring Reunion as it's such a welcome relief to see the colors of spring right around the corner...and I know it's there under our 6 feet of snow:)

You can click on the pic for a look at a larger view. Although you can't see it in the preview, these papers have the yummiest textures and you'll be feeling up your screens to try and touch them:)

Wish I could bring PSP and PS with me to work on this kit while I'm gone but it's not to be.
I'll see you all when I get back during the 3rd week of March.
Until then...be safe, be happy, and keep scrappin'!
Big hugs...Mollie

Thanks for all your kind comments on this kit...you guys are so sweet and I'm glad everyone is liking it so much:) I have a new spring colored kit in the works and if I find time, I'll do up a quick sneak peek before I leave...something to tease you with:)

Here's the links for today: Link 13, Link 14, Link 15, and Link 16. I hope MediaFire is finished with their maintenance and you don't have any trouble with these links.

Now I must go and update hubbys website for the upcoming bear hunting season and unfortunately raise the prices. If you know of anyone that's into bear or deer hunting and is interested in coming to the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan send them here: http://bossbears.netfirms.com/ He guides them on wonderful hunts:)

Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you tomorrow with the last of the links for this kit.

Loves, Part 5

Did you know that 20 divided by 2 equals 10???? Apparently I don't and have had a major brain fart...roflmao! There aren't enough days left before I go to continue to give you 2 zips a day (DUH!) so we'll ramp it up today. I must have had an extra bowl of stupid on Monday when I started this...lol.

I can start my 72 hour countdown right to the minute....yippee. I sent my bags ahead so I'll only be carying my purse and my Baggillini...no luggage to wrestle with is a good thing:) I can hardly wait to be away from these mountains of snow here...worst winter I've seen in these parts in 12 years. Any more of this and dh will need a front-end loader instead of a plow.

So here's your links for today: Link 9, Link 10, Link 11, Link 12 Enjoy...we're almost done.
Hugs...Mollie

Just look in the left hand column under Freebies and enjoy.
Hugs...Mollie

My Loves 4

Hey Patty...thanks for the awesome links...I'll be exploring them today:)

I've had a few requests to fix the links for the MOD kit, AshleyB kit and the Springtime kit so I'll be doing that shortly after this post. I'll email the interested parties when I'm finished.

I know there are some that don't like the MediaFire experience but they are so much better and faster than 4shared...it's much more convenient for me and a happy me means more freebies for you:)

The links for today are: Link 7 and Link 8
Enjoy and happy scrapping:)
Big hugs...Mollie

Love Freebie

Have I really been gone all that long? Goodness, where does the time go!

Well, I'm back for 5 days only and this will be the official "countdown to Vegas" baby:)
We're having a siblings only family reunion in Vegas starting on Monday the 25th and plan on having a total blast. My youngest sister Kim (who just turned 50 Saturday) and I are Vegas virgins so we plan on having more fun than the rest of them as we see the sights for the first time. We have our tickets to see the Cirque show KA, and plan on riding the coaster at New York and touring the Wax Museum. We'll be there for 4 days and I doubt we'll have any trouble filling our days with excitement:) But if there's a "must see" from your Vegas trip, please let me know about it and I'll add it to my list...I'd love to hear what you folks found fascinating on your trip.

We're staying at the Monte Carlo and I personally am looking forward to taking advantage of some of their spa services. Mmmmmm...massages and saunas...doesn't that sound heavenly?

I'll be leaving Vegas on Friday and going to Bullhead City, AZ with my older sis and her husband who winter over there each year. The next 2 weeks will be relaxing in the sun mostly although we do have 2 trips planned. A train ride to the Grand Canyon with a bus tour of the rim and a trip to the Santa Anita raceway for the day, then on to San Diego to visit a friend and onwards to Mexico. OMG, can you say "Tourist"...lol

I'll be arriving back home to the frozen tundra on March 18th...at least that is what my plane ticket says. I'll be calling home first to see if our annual horrid mid-March storm and the 15 inches of snow it gives us is done and over with. If not, it'll be a few more days of sun and warmth for this gal...roflol

So on to the business you came here for...the freebie. Yes, I had Valentines Day in mind but you can really use this kit for any occasion, for any loved one so I named it "My Loves".
I've made the zip files dial-up friendly with each file at 10 MB or under and there are 20 zip files which I'll be giving out...2 per day for the rest of the week. (In no particular order)

I'm giving you all of the previews in this post so you can see what's coming, then each day, I'll just add the links. You can click on each preview to see a much larger version of it.

Hope you enjoy using the kit and if you want to share it please send them here to download it from the original source. Thanks and this is for personal use only.












Here are the first 2 downloads: Link 1 and Link 2

And now I must go to bed...I had to shovel 4 times during the day and my body feels like I've moved 1/2 ton of snow. See ya' Tuesday:)

Hugs...Mollie
