:: Ready for More?::
Happy Saturday!! First, let me thank you all for your wonderful comments on the freebie and the photos of Jordan. She is a cutie isn’t she? Maybe I should post some photos of her when she’s having one of her tantrums and see how cute you think she is - LOL!! She is such a little drama queen, and she’s only four!! Imagine what she’s gonna be like as a teenager - ughhh! Not sure I’m ready for all of that!
ETA - I also just installed a little thing called Blogarithm. It let’s you subscribe to my blog, so you will know when I update it. I thought this might be a handy little tool to have since I am doing this daily download thing. That way you’ll get an email any time I update my blog, so you won’t miss any of the pieces of the set. It’s over on the right sidebar - see it?
OK, before I post today’s freebie, I wanted to share some photos of the “monster” aquarium we have been working on for months! It’s a 300 gallon saltwater tank, and it has been a major ordeal. This thing is HUGE - 8 feet long and about 6.5 feet tall! We’ve had to redo the plumbing on it like three time for various reasons. Then we had to sae up some money for the rock and the sand. Do you know how much sand is for saltwater aquariums??? It’s crazy! We have over $400 worth of sand in this thing, and probably $800 worth of rock! This stuff is crazy expensive!! We are just about ready for fish though. The only living thing we have in there right now is about 100 snails to control the algae. Yuck!!
I am still playing with my camera settings to counteract the super blue metal halide lights we have on the tank. I want to be able to get some cool close up shots of the fish - once we have some - LOL!!
*******
OK, on another note, I just thought since everyone likes freebies that I would share a link to Krista Mettler’s blog. She’s been giving away a free set piece by piece as well. So check out her blog to see what item she’s sending today. Here’s a preview of the set that’s she’s giving away. You can find her blog here: http://www.skyescrapz.com/
*******
Now, onto the good stuff…. Here’s part III of the freebie. It’s another paper! You can download it HERE. I will leave part II from yesterday up for a few more hours, so if you haven’t gotten it yet, you better hurry! Also, leave me a comment if you download. Thanks!
THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY FREE DAILY DOWNLOAD SERIES. THIS PARTICULAR DOWNLOAD HAS EXPIRED!

Oh my gosh Tracy, I didn’t know your daughter’s name was Jordan! My daughter’s name is Jordan too! And she is also 4, well until Aug 14th when she’ll turn 5. Too cool. And thanks for the paper!

Keeping our fingers crossed that any $500.00 fish you

I bet she’s even cute in a fit of rage! … So cute that sometimes it’s all you can do not to laugh! Wouldn’t that be a fun challenge? “The good, the bad and the ugly” You’re childs unhappy photos! hehe

Another gorgeous paper! Thank you, Traci
You are living my dream of a salt water or reef aquarium. I’ve always wanted a lionfish but I think the closest I’ll ever get is the hand carved one I bought in the Philippians…..
p.s. If Jordan gets too unruly, you can send her to me. I tried 3 times but never did get my little girl

Wow. That’s a monster aquarium alright. It’s going to look so amazing when you get the fish in there. I can relate to the tantrums. I have a 4 yr old girl too so I can totally relate to those. They are not a pretty picuture. Thanks for more of the kit. It’s great.

Thanks Traci. What an aquarium!! I have two little bettas, and they sit with me at the computer. So they get lots of attention! You have to be sure to post a pic of some of the fish when you get them. WOW. This kit your giving away is great. I got the link from Krista’s blog. How about a second chance to get the 1st link!!??

Can’t even imagine having an aquarium like that! I’m assuming that the snails alone can’t do all the cleaning?! Wow! It is beautiful, though!
Thanks so much for the continuing gifts! Much appreciated!!

Thank you for another piece to your beautiful kit.
Your aquarium is awesome! Looks really nice. Not something I would want to take on, but it does look cool. Look forward to seeing more pictures of it, when you start getting it stocked with fish.

I love the combination of sage green and coral. I missed the first piece — didn’t see a post to CSE3 until you had the third piece up — but you can be sure that I’ll drop by daily to see what I can add to the set. Thanks for your generosity

TY again for the paper! It is nice to see the aquarium after hearing the story how you got it and all that on the peas loop! It is gorgeous–I would love one but then I would never get to take a vacation! Although, come to think of it, we haven’t had a vacation in 3 years…maybe, it would be a good idea to get one.
