Well, I am officially childless! I know that sounds horrible, and I’m sure I’ll feel differently in a couple of days, but in the five years that this child has been alive, I have never been without her for more than two days. They were supposed to leave for Disney World tomorrow, but my FIL just couldn’t stand it, and he called and had their flight moved up a day! He is so excited to get Jordan there, and I hope she doesn’t disappoint him! I am sure she is going to keep them hopping though!

I was hoping that DH and I would be able to take off to the beach for a few days, but he just couldn’t get off work! Wah!! They are working on some project and they’re getting close to the deadling…. blah, blah, blah… I could have taken off and gone by myself, but since Jordan and I went without him a few weeks ago, I just didn’t think I could do it to him again - LOL! So, we’ll wait a couple of more weeks and see if we can get down there before school gets out and all the kids are down there.

I dropped them off at the airport at 11:30 this morning, and then I went and did a little shopping. I went to Hobby Lobby because they had their garden stuff half off. I ended up getting two small gazing balls on stakes, some wind chimes, and some patio lights that look like blown glass. Of course I had to mosey on back to the scrapbooking stuff! I noticed that they had put out more of my Front Porch line! Yipee!! I tell you, it is such a rush to see my stuff in the stores! I was very good too - I didn’t but anything scrapbook related. I did buy a mini jewelry tool kit because I’m making my MIL and SIL bracelets for Mother’s Day. I will make sure and post them when I get them done. That’s one of my projects I want to get done this week while Jordan’s gone.

Don’t forget about the sale that’s going on at my store!! Here’s your chance to save some big money!

So, now that I have caught you up on the past couple of days… how about a freebie? I made this alpha from one of the papers in my Dirty Denim set, so it would be perfect to go with the kit if you picked it up when I had it on sale when it first came out. Here’s a preview of the set in case you haven’t seen it. I know I’m biased, but I think it’s just the cutest set!    

 THIS DOWNLOAD IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Here’s the freebie alpha.

HERE is the download link. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY LINKS WITH OTHERS OR IN YAHOO GROUPS. DON’T SUPPORT PIRACY! See - it’s on every post for a freebie! Have a great weekend, and please leave me some love if you download the freebie! ;-)

    Thanks for the alpha to match the kit, and your right, the kit is just too cute.

  60. 60krohnmom

    Another masterpiece from YOU! Thanks

  61. 61Shawna (aka: shawnyrvr)

    OH Hobby Lobby is my weakness!!! especially lately, they’ve been getting more of the “newer” stuff in the past couple months… I actually have been grounded from going in there when DH realized I spent over 1,200 there last year alone… DARN stinken MS Money & tax season!!!! I told him that over 1/2 of it had to be house stuff, frames, glassware, flowers, etc, etc, etc. He said you told me to tell you when you would think you were out of control, and what would you say to yourself right now MS. Tightwad-PennyPincher. I said touche’ pouted and walked off… lol

    Anyway, hope you enjoy the long bubble bath and glass o’wine(uh-hem or should I say bottle…) while you have the house all to yourself… can you still spell parte’??? that’s what I’d be up to… lol have some fun!

    Blessings, Shawna

  112. 112Renee

    Hi Traci. The alpha looks great. I can’t use it because my program doesn’t have a selection tool, but I love the frayed look. Just wondering… I notice that some designers offer their alphas and elements in separate png files and others have them all together. Having never been able to design anything, I don’t know if it’s a great deal more work to have them separate and I was also wondering about your purchased kits… do you offer the option of having the alphas in separate png files?
