Next freebie and the first Christmas Designs

Hi all,
It's my first day off after a busy week and a couple of days getting a few more grey hairs ( if the hair dye wouldn't cover them,lol)
I blame Shaun. He turned on the hot water tap in the kitchen -and we couldn't turn it back off ! It had become completely stuck. End result: I had to turn off the water completely and phone the repair service of the Housing Association, explained the problem and then the wait..... they promised a quick response. I explained I am working night shift and could they please ring my phone in case I don't wake up from the doorbell. No problem -they said.

 4 hours later ...still waiting and another phone call. Yes, I am on the list , they confirmed. Then time to leave for work.....Next morning....waiting....my phone rings. The electrician is at the door for repair. Hold on ! I need a Plumber ! They sent me the wrong man. Another phone call.

I go to bed, I need sleep ...another night shift to do....wake up rather drowsy after 3 hours....doorbell in ringing. quickly into some clothes and by the time I'm down the stairs he is driving away ...WTF???? Call again...they tell me he's on his break and will come back after. Pheeeew.....

Plumber finally there , repairs the damage and says the storage water tank will just have to fill up now , heat the water and I'll be okay.Tired ...only 3 hours of sleep

This morning after a night of struggling to stay awake : Water is warm , but what comes out of the tap is a small dribble...there seems to be no pressure....oh joy, I will have to make another phone call.....

On the bright side , I have started with a Christmas kit. And already done a couple of QPs as teasers. Here you go ....

And I just couldn't resist this one,lol ...you know me, always up to some mischief ;)

 What else? I'm continuing with some more Fall and Halloween decor
It's very easy to do,these birdies are printed , cut out and stuck to the wall .I found them on http://www.bloominghomestead.com/2011/09/new-halloween-printables.html
That is also the site where I found the printable leaves.
If you like crafting this sort of stuff follow me on Pinterest, I have a lot more on my boards there. The link is at the side.

I went for an Autumn walk and feeding the squirrels...although walking through the woods made me miss Reggie something rotten. It reminded me so much of our walks in NC , and walking on my own just wasn't the same.

But enough now, let's get the freebie out of the box !
Here is my other Mabon kit

And next week the Halloween freebie will be about to start.
In the meantime I will carry on designing and I'm having a Hibernation weekend ,lol...I will not answer the door or phone, I will be lazy , recover from my night shifts and pamper myself. The only one I want to see and talk to for these two days will be Reggie.
I need some "Me-time" , total relaxation and being lazy ;)
So 'till next weekend

More Mabon parts

Hi all ,
back to give you the remaining parts of the "Happy Harvest" kit today.
So what has been going on here?
Tuesday was Reggie's birthday and he told me on Wednesday that all the packages I sent had arrived.So now I can actually show what I made. Instead of a common Birthday card I created a mini hybrid album with Pics of our time together. I showed this first pic as a teaser before , but now I can show the details.

 lol, I knew he wanted one of those Raiders caps, I just had to customise it a little bit ...













There was more , but I'm not showing all....just one more...
besides that, I made a book with layouts and journaling. It's too personal to show all the pages ...sorry, but some things have to stay private. 

 I'm just showing this so you can see what you can do with some layouts and a printer- an inexpensive very personal gift from the heart.You don't even need to send off for an order. The printed layouts are just glued to the blank pages of a bought mini scrapbook album.You could even use one of the baby/toddler books with thick cardboard pages which you get very cheap.They are perfect to use for making altered books.

I have the contract for starting to sell at the Scrap site and it looks fine. The only thing I'm thinking about now is the time to start. Is there any sense to start before the New Year? I will be away for 3 weeks over Christmas. Do I really have the time to start before? It's a commitment that I don't take lightly , so I want to make sure I can actually do what the contract says....
And I have my flight ticket ! It will be a hell of a journey. This time I have to leave with the 5.25 am GMT train to London , get a tube to Heathrow, catch the flight to Philadelphia and then change. It's not to Charlotte this time.....I'm flying to Greensboro because depending on what the weather is like it will be easier for Reggie to pick me up. Greensboro is only about an hour drive away from him.But I will be arriving around 19.30 pm EST....so work it out , -that's a lot of hours travelling !But well worth it...I would even go to the end of the world to spend time with him. Travel/Medical Insurance is sorted as well ...another thing checked of my "to do list".
I have been doing some more work on the latest kit and just need to create some more elements now. Here is another teaser page I page with it.

Maybe I will get it all finished tonight.
Anonymous left a comment that the Broncos link on the freebie page isn't working anymore-give it a try now, I put a new link up and it worked for me.
But now finally the Happy Harvest links you have been waiting for.Her ya go,lol.

More Autumn and Halloween freebies coming -till next post :)

Happy Autumn Equinox and freebie

Hello and good morning :)
It's Mabon, or Autumn Equinox today. Unfortunately I have to work , but I have taken a day off for tomorrow.Two reasons....a) Sunday is the only day Reggie is off as well and  b) Football is on ,lol.

I feel we never have enough time for each other and being so far apart makes it double as bad....it sucks to say it plainly. But I guess it makes me appreciate the little time we have even more.
I finally had the contract come through and I'm asking myself "am I ready for this?" ....after a long time not really doing much I need to get back into the swing of things again. But the comments I had on my FB page really gave me a boost. Apparently I have been missed and that's nice to know :)
My ticket for December is booked and paid for ...88 days to go and then it's off to North Carolina again . So looking forward spending time with Reggie again. Now the travel preparations start again.... looking for the best and cheapest transport to the airport, renew/update Esta travel authorisation, Health and travel insurance....blah,blah,blah... it's a different route and different times as last time, so I can't just book the same , but need to do some more research what my best options are.
People have kept saying I lost more weight...I can't see it, but I noticed I put on some muscle.As long as don't start looking like one of these female bodybuilders I can can go with that,lol.Seriously.... without showing nude pics....I can't see a difference. Julie reckons she can see it alone from my face.

Anyway, let's get to the freebie. As it's Mabon it's the perfect time for my Mabon kit. Happy Harvest -It's Mabon

Here some more previews of the lot.

And the first links.Part 1 and 4 , so you have some papers and elements already
