Freebie time before work starts again

Morning all,
thought I better give you the last part of the kit before my shifts start again and I have a lot less time.Yeahhhh...Pats won against the Saints last night....fantastic! I know it's only pre-season, but it's still great!
Next game to watch will be Monday night when Reggie's favourite team plays. I hope the Raiders will win against the Cowboys.lol, mother in Pats gear...I have to wash that a bit more often I think, that huge number is still stiff as a board.

 I just checked the comments and there was one which really made me laugh !
"Ty for sharing the natural menopause just be careful with the Agnus Castus..cos it can also be used to aid fertility....;-)lol" ...bahahahaha.... luckily I'm safe in that department. I had myself sterilised years ago , and otherwise it can't get much worse .... "grin" Reggie won't complain about nymphomaniac tendencies ;)
The cakes were a full success, I can only recommend the recipes. yummie....two thumbs up from my son, and he is a fussy eater ! 
In the evening we had grilled chicken. I also tried a new recipe for that and had the chicken halves soaking in a spicy marinade the whole day. Also a success! I like trying out new recipes and experimenting. Just a shame I don't find the time for it more often, that is always reserved for when I have my days off. During shifts I cook quick and easy stuff.
As always I made a few more layouts, slowly working my way through all the pics.

lol,regarding these last 3....the guys, Reggie and Wes wanted to go into this huge hunting shop. It was interesting, not only did they have great displays, but a huge aquarium as well....hence the reflection in the glass on the pictures.
I had one pic where my batteries ran out and the lens shutter didn't open fully. But hey- even those sort of pics can be used .... here is what I did. Original pic ....one for the trash,you would think....think again ! Cropped and edited it makes a lovely layout

Anyway-freebie time-the last part.

Part 4 of the freebie series

Good morning,
Woke up to heavy rain again this morning ...what's new??? And last night I was dreaming I was by the river , but it was all white, I was walking in the snow and snowflakes were falling around me. It was nice-peaceful. I must have been working on this layouts and photos too much ,lol.....now I'm even dreaming of it. Yes, you got it ! I was working on more layouts last night before I went to bed and they are the pics from the 6 mile walk we did along the river.
It's another late shift for me today and I'm really looking forward to tonight after work ,Reggie said he would see me on Skype to chat. Highlight of my day !
And I was lucky last night....Mediafire was actually working for change and I managed to get all 4 files uploaded ,so I can post the new links today.
But first the new layouts.

 

 And I used a background and elements for this flower layout from the freebie kits.

OK, and here is the next part. At that stage I had stopped making cards, maybe I do some more when I find the time.

Freebie part 3 and new kit ready

Good morning,
...night shift recovery went well. I used to love those shifts, but I am seriously beginning to dislike them because they prevent me from being able to see and chat with Reggie on Skype.
But at least I had the weekend off ...
Just been reading my comments and Kyra tells me about an award....thanks for that, will head over to your blog after this post. Oh, and that torture seat seems to be working, together with eating more sensibly my scales showed 6 pounds less this morning. That's not a bad loss in two weeks, I'm happy with that. Brave? I wouldn't say I'm brave,lol... it's more a case of feeling better in myself, personal pride , living healthier and apart from that I need to be fit to keep Reggie on his feet (or on his back or knees) hehehehe....
I've been journaling some more and making more layouts, but some of them I find too personal to show.I'm open but not that open,lol ! Some things I have to keep private. But here are a few more layouts I made. This is a double page and supposed to be next to each other.

I think that I'm comfortable and loving it there shows well in the pic , I look relaxed, happy and at ease,lol.And that was taken the day after I arrived there...as the next layout states...

Apart from that I finished the kit I worked on last.
I called it "In my heart" ...just because he is.

And I made another Dreamcatcher.
This one was a wish from Deb for one of her boys.I still have to make another for her other little boy.
Patriotic Dreamcatcher

 I'm uploading the next freebie parts as I write this.As soon as it's done I place the links and hit the "Publish " button.But I'm having problems with uploading at mediafire. The last 2 files with the cards will not upload...so I post the kit and will add the cards when it finally works again.
This is it.

Till later again-hugs Snowy

Getting crafty and part two of the Free Series

Hello again,
pheew....I'm sweating buckets...not only do I have a nice piece of pork in the oven, but I'm also busy melting wax to make my own candles. Already 3 finished and cooling down , and the smell is lovely. I have chosen Vanilla and cinnamon as fragrance oils this time. These are very easy to make as you just need a candle wick and pour the melted ,coloured and fragranced wax into the jars, -which I have collected together from sauces , jams...or baby food jars are good as well.

Later on when the wax has hardened the jars and lids will be decorated , and voila ....you have a nice little gift for someone.
I told about working on one of Reggie's presents, I have completed the first one...I cannot show the full result for obvious reasons, but here is a little sneak peak ...a birthday card which is something else,lol...

And Kyra...I am getting a bit "" softy romantic"...always have been, but I actually quoted Reggie in my last post.... because as much as he likes to look and play the cool man, he has a soft, romantic side as well....pssst...I didn't tell that,lol. Hey , he's a Libra... they are known for being the most horny but also romantic, hahahaha...
No seriously, a mix of naughty and romantic is the best, and it's part of what I love about him.
I was also lucky picking up a bargain yesterday. A full 16 piece dinner set for only $12.00. I had looked around for one a couple of months ago, but wasn't prepared to pay too much. And the ones I liked were all too expensive. So yesterday walking through the store I  passed the display and thought:"hmmm...that's quite nice". Imagine my surprise when I saw the price, I had to look twice because I couldn't believe it. Needless to say I snatched it up ! Now the old and chipped 10 year old stuff can go ! Aztec design ...

And I tried another southern recipe...Dirty Rice -I found a Bojangles copy recipe -and grilled chicken.Yummie ! ...minus the Iced Tea,lol... or "liquid crack "as Reggie calls it... I have never seen anyone put away so much of a drink !
 -Anyway, before I finish this post and go back to work tomorrow I will give you the next part of the freebie series.
Here it is.

Freebie time

Good morning ,
ughhh...I didn't want to get up this morning ! It's grey ,miserable , wet and windy out there....and it was so nice warm and cosy under my quilt. Well ,I had a good excuse for staying in bed longer and being lazy....my night shifts start tonight , so I need to be well rested,lol.
My poor Reggie has had a migraine for the past days, but is slowly feeling a bit better. Of cause the time we can chat are the highlights of my days.
So what's new? Not much really... nothing much happens while at work. But I have seriously developed a taste for Cajun food while in North Carolina. My friend True, who is from New Orleans is sending me some spices across and I will be trying some new recipes. I swear, compared to this the traditional English cuisine is boring!
I will be putting up a collection of botanical themed backgrounds and elements over the next weeks. These were the results of several months of challenges and I have never published them before.

They are great to mix and match and perfect for summer. Ughhh... whenever it arrives...it's more like October here !

Here is a layout with some of the parts.

Kyra, I am not that much interested in the Olympics-I'm more looking forward to next month when the Football season starts again. I have already marked Patriots and some Raiders games on my calendar (Reggie's team are the Raiders) and will stock up the fridge with some drinks and snacks for the days I am off work and can watch the games.
And I hope to book the flight tickets for December next month before prices go up , as they will for the holidays !
Enough for now though....here are the first links for the botanical designs, I have also made some cards for some of the elements.
Here is part 1 ....5 folders full of goodies! Hugs Snowy
