:: Where Does the Time Go? ::
Well, yet another week is almost over! Where do the days go? When I was young I remember all of the adults always saying that the older you get, the faster time goes by. I really do think that’s true! Maybe as we get older we just have so much going on that we don’t have time to notice as one day rolls into another. I can tell Jordan that we are going to do something in a couple of hours, and her response is, “But that’s a long time from now!” In her little four year old mind, I guess it probably is a long time!
Speaking of my little angel… I got an Oriental Trading Halloween catalog in the mail a couple of days ago. I always throw away the holiday and party ones. The only ones I look at are the scrapbooking ones. Well, DH brings it in the house and he’s telling Jordan, “Hey, look at all of this Halloween stuff!” Like he doesn’t know that we already have her costume! Anyway, she starts looking at it, and guess what she picks out? These gross things:
)
)
Well, I was hoping she would forget about these things! I mean, who want’s to eat nasty gross gummy fingers? Well, yesterday she asked me if I’d ordered her fingers. I couldn’t lie to her, and this child’s memory is like an elephant! She does not forget a thing! So I ended up having to order these dang things! While I was there, I picked up these to make as Christmas gifts. I mean the shipping is $6.95 for up to $30, so I might as well get my money’s worth, right?
)
Speaking of getting your money’s worth, a little birdie told me that there just might be a SALE going on this weekend at the Your-Digital-Dream store. The little guy told me it might just be a 25% OFF everything sale!! Hmmm… wonder where that bird gets his information? LOL!
OK, onto the freebie for the day. This is a sampler of my Mango in Paradise set. Kind of Summery, but soft and subtle.

HERE is the download link. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS LINK! Leave me some love if you download!
THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY FREE DAILY DOWNLOAD SERIES. THIS PARTICULAR DOWNLOAD HAS EXPIRED!

Love the little wooden purse thingies. What a nifty idea for Christmas! Thanks for the super cool freebie too!
Uh oh, I’m in charge of the tank for the next two days!!! Hubby is out of town with my daughter at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for a checkup and I have to feed the critters and add water. I usually have my mom do it as she took care of it for a month in Feb. when we were in Cincinnati for my daughter’s surgery. Might have to ask you for some advice! How are your new critters doing?

Traci-
thank you for the sampler — I sadly admit that I have also purchased those gross fingers — my 2 year old is going to be a “cute” witch for Halloween and she NEEDED those fingers for her spider cup — ah…….the gross things parents do:)

Oh, wow, are those cigar box purses? Oriental Trading you say? Cool, lotve ‘em. And I know what you mean by memory like an elephant - I’ve got three of those. If it is important to them, they’ll remember until the end of time. If it is important to me, however… But they are teenagers, so what should I expect?
Thanks for the great freebies this week. Been busy, haven’t had time to comment. Your new kits are lovely. Looking forward to some down time early next week so that maybe I can shop….
