:: Busy, Busy, Busy! ::
Did you guys miss me the last couple of days? I have been busy, busy, busy! Did some major house cleaning, and the other mundane daily chores like laundry and dishes. Blah! But at least it’s over with, and hopefully I’ll have the weekend to do something more fun, like some designing!
I’ve also been busy uploading all of Jordan’s photos since birth to Winkflash as a third source of backup! That’s a lot of photos! The older ones didn’t take that long though, because I had a crappy 1.3 MP camera for like the first year and a half of her life, then I upgraded to a 3 MP, and finally to my 6 MP DSLR at Christmas last year. Needless to say, those photos from the last year took a long time because the files are huge! I can’t imagine how big the files sizes are for the 10 MP they have out now. I’m perfectly happy with the camera I have now, so I have no plans on upgrading to one of those.
I did this layout last night (and missed Grey’s Anatomy because I was woriking on it!) The photo at the top is Jordan when she was only 2 days old, and the large photo is from a couple of months ago. I can’t believe she is four and a half now! It had been a while since I looked at her baby photos, but while I was uploading to Winkflash, I had a chance to look through them. She was so precious! I used Doris Castle’s Dreams set from Scrapbookgraphics. This set has such wonderfully textured papers and unique elements!
Well, I guess I’ll move on to the freebie for today. This is a wooden stencil alpha, and I made it red to go with your Christmas layouts and cards, but of course it can be used for tons of other stuff too. Hope you like it!

HERE is the download link. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY LINKS! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Leave me some love if you download the freebie! :-)

Thanks! Great alpha and so verstitile too. I also wanted to let you know that you can watch the full episodes of Grey’s Anatomy by going to ABC.com. In fact, I missed it too last night but I’m watching it right now in fact, lol. Seriously… seriously (said in my best Meridith voice, lol.) You can also watch lots of other abc shows like Ugly Betty, Lost, Desperate Housewives, etc. Thanks again!:D

Traci, this Alpha is wonderful as are the rest of everything you share with us! I hope this time my comment will go through as the rest somehow dissappeared and not show up here. I love to read your daily life stories! Where I live in South Africa we don’t really have Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc and I love to read all about it on the Net, including your blog. Keep it up!! Take good care of you and your family. Greetings, Laura

What an adorable LO of Jordan! She’s such a cutie. I know what you mean about having tons of photos to upload. My DD is 13 now, so I have wayyyyyyyy too many photos that I need to scan and backup.
Thanks so much for all the wonderful freebies you share!
