I love to chat and I feel that I know so many of you it would be great to be able to chat with you in real time. Also I'm interested to know what you really want. The theme of the chats will be "What d'ya really, really want?" It'll be chatting about things you want to know about, tips, what tuts you'd like or it could be items your searching for eg elements or must haves. It's just what the title says, things you really want! And of course there will be an attendance gift for everyone who drops in and stays. For the first two chats it will be an Add On for my Go Wild Kit.
Timetable for the chats is:
Thursday 21 February 10.00 am GMT

So please, please come along to one of them...you would just hate to think of me talking to myself...people would start to get the wrong idea!! Lol! Later next week I'll remind you again...perhaps even beg!!
OK so let's go straight on to an other great freebie that Lorie, one of my fellow SDK designers, has on her blog. It's a Page Kit called Sweet Chocolate and it's yummy!! Take a look and see what I mean.

Drop by her blog and snag it...but don't forget to leave her some love!
I am sure that you visit Digiscrap Depot to get your daily freebie fix, but did you know that they are asking for help to raise money for a new server. There are just so many freebies and visitors the old one had great problems and so their expenses have soared from $8 per month to $250!!!! Vicki has put a donation link on the Digiscrapdepot blog plus details of a collaboration kit (if you scroll down). Jessica is part of producing the collaboration kit to help raise some money. Take a look on Jessica's blog if you want more details of the kit.

Linda has done a fantastic layout for my Take Your Pick challenge in the Members Challenge area at SDK. She had to pick items from the bits I gave and then do a layout..and what a layout!! Fantastic work Linda and I love what you did with the bits!!

Groovy!!! I love the 60's kit! You have sure been a very busy lady. Will try my best to make it to the chat.

Thank you so much! I love all of your decades kits. You've really captured the essence of these eras!

I won't be at your chat (sorry) but if I may I'd like to tell you here what I want. I write the Creative Genealogy blog (http://creativegenealogy.blogspot.com) and I feature kits of interest to genealogists. That's my audience, genealogists, not digi-scrappers. But my genealogy friends love the kits I find that help them share their family history. Most appreciated are kits that feature countries/ethnicities, geographic locations, and time eras. I'll be featuring your decades kits soon. I promise! I'll probably share them a couple at a time because they are just too good to share all at once!

Anyway, there are lots of kits available about the Victorian period but hardly any about the Roaring Twenties, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, WWII (1940s), The Great Depression (1930s), and of course the 1950s-1970s. Not all kits need to be upbeat and "happy" because history was not always full of pretty colors and flowers. What we could really use are kits that reflect the historical times... good times and bad, affluence and poverty.

Thank you for considering these suggestions in your designing and whether you use any of them or not I'll still be a big fan of yours!

Don’t believe one optimistic word from any public figure about the economy or humanity in general. They are all part of the problem. Its like a game of Monopoly. In America, the richest 1% now hold 1/2 OF ALL UNITED STATES WEALTH. Unlike ‘lesser’ estimates, this includes all stocks, bonds, cash, and material assets held by America’s richest 1%. Even that filthy pig Oprah acknowledged that it was at about 50% in 2006. Naturally, she put her own ‘humanitarian’ spin on it. Calling attention to her own ‘good will’. WHAT A DISGUSTING HYPOCRITE SLOB. THE RICHEST 1% HAVE LITERALLY MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. Don’t fall for all of their ‘humanitarian’ CRAP. ITS A SHAM. THESE PEOPLE ARE CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT. Ask any professor of economics. Money does not grow on trees. The government can’t just print up more on a whim. At any given time, there is a relative limit to the wealth within ANY economy of ANY size. So when too much wealth accumulates at the top, the middle class slip further into debt and the lower class further into poverty. A similar rule applies worldwide. The world’s richest 1% now own over 40% of ALL WORLD WEALTH. This is EVEN AFTER you account for all of this ‘good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS from celebrities and executives. ITS A SHAM. As they get richer and richer, less wealth is left circulating beneath them. This is the single greatest underlying cause for the current US recession. The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy. Their wealth has been gradually transfered to the richest 1%. One way or another, we suffer because of their incredible greed. We are talking about TRILLIONS of dollars. Transfered FROM US TO THEM. Over a period of about 27 years. Thats Reaganomics for you. The wealth does not ‘trickle down’ as we were told it would. It just accumulates at the top. Shrinking the middle class and expanding the lower class. Causing a domino effect of socio-economic problems. But the rich will never stop. They will never settle for a reasonable share of ANYTHING. They will do whatever it takes to get even richer. Leaving even less of the pie for the other 99% of us to share. At the same time, they throw back a few tax deductable crumbs and call themselves ‘humanitarians’. IT CAN’T WORK THIS WAY. This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly. The current US recession will drag on for years and lead into the worst US depression of all time. The richest 1% will live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs, food, and gasoline. Crime, poverty, and suicide will skyrocket. So don’t fall for all of this PR CRAP from Hollywood, Pro Sports, and Wall Street PIGS. ITS A SHAM. Remember: They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductable contributions. Greedy pigs. Now, we are headed for the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time. SEND A “THANK YOU” NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE. ITS THEIR FAULT. I’m not discounting other factors like China, sub-prime, or gas prices. But all of those factors combined still pale in comparison to that HUGE transfer of wealth to the rich. It ALWAYS boils down to the level of wealth held by the middle class and how much they have to spend. Anyway, those other factors are all related and further aggrivated because of GREED. If it weren’t for the OBSCENE distribution of wealth within our country, there never would have been such a market for sub-prime to begin with. Which by the way, was another trick whipped up by greedy bankers and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. The credit industry has been ENDORSED by people like Oprah, Ellen, Dr Phil, and many other celebrities. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘humanitarian’ BS. ITS A SHAM. NOTHING BUT TAX DEDUCTABLE PR CRAP. Bottom line: The richest 1% will soon tank the largest economy in the world. It will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. and thats just the beginning. Greed will eventually tank every major economy in the world. Causing millions to suffer and die. Oprah, Angelina, Brad, Bono, and Bill are not part of the solution. They are part of the problem. EXTREME WEALTH HAS MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. WITHOUT WORLD PROSPERITY, THERE WILL NEVER BE WORLD PEACE OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL. Of course, the rich will throw a fit and call me a madman. Of course, their ignorant fans will do the same. You have to expect that. But I speak the truth. If you don’t believe me, then copy this entry and run it by any professor of economics or socio-economics. Then tell a friend. Call the local radio station. Re-post this entry or put it in your own words. Be one of the first to predict the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time and explain its cause. WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.
