Faded Beauty Freebie, News and God What a Day!

I am soo sorry I did not blog yesterday but my day job needed extra work...too many reports needed writing at the same time!! I must be working too hard to produce them, lol!! So I worked on those until 1.00am this morning. Also my youngest son needed a hand sorting out some of his life warier in the day and of course that delayed me too, but with kids they always need help...like NOW!! hehe! I am also working on some new kits and so time is always short, never any leeway for life's little crisis without it becoming major!

But I ahve lots of news, layouts and of course the freebie!! Tonight I have chosen a little add on for my new kit Faded Beauty as the freebie. The kit is as the name implies...faded...(could be me!) what was once vibrant is now mellow and softened, a gentle blend of muted colours. I hope you like it. Catch that curled lace...I am so pleased with myself!! There is an other add on too...if your interested I have a chat tomorrow, Friday in the chat room at Scrappin Digi Kreations the times are as follows:

The words read: A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end. It keeps us together like our circle of friends. But the treasure inside for you to see is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me. Today I pass the friendship ball to you.


The second is "Best Blogs in the Universe Award and I feel really flatter!! Sure I don't deserve that one...but wonderful to Have it!! Thank you!! I want to pass this one on to Scraps of Mind and Karen who does a fantastic job with her blog!!
