The last part of Summer BBQ freebie and upcycle old jeans

Good morning peeps ;)
Well, I don't have much to show this morning....I have worked some overtime and been terribly busy in this flat. The nights and early mornings here have been a bit cool, at times only 48 degrees -so it was time to get some warmer clothing out of my storage bags. It will be a case of t-shirt during the day, but taking something warmer in my saddle bag for on the way home at night or in the early morning. Even my fingers were cold when I came home from night shift. Of cause with cycling you have the added wind chill factor to deal with as well. So I will definitely take a thin pair of gloves if it gets like that again.
Of cause I used the opportunity to sort through and sort out what I don't wear or what doesn't fit anymore.
I have cleared 3/4 of one of my book shelves and sold the books , a few on Amazon Marketplace, but the majority to the Second Hand Book Lady on our market. I have a lot more to go still.
Then I have signed up to Netflix. They have quite good movies and even series for a low monthly fee. I saw it the first time at Reggie's and thought I sign up as well as they really offer quite a good choice.So I'm looking forward to some relaxing movie evenings. The good thing is I can just hook up the laptop to my TV in the bedroom and be really comfortable chilling out on the bed .... lol, it's the small luxuries that sometimes count the most :)

Craft and Fashion tip: Got an old pair of jeans that maybe even has some holes in it? Don't just throw them away! I have a pair I bought with the designer holes, but wearing, washing and Reggie poking his fingers through the holes made them larger and larger. They are my favourite pair and I didn't just want to throw them out. Solution: I had an old pair of lace knickers (you could take any lace though, or other fabric you like) I cut them so the pieces fit behind the holes and stitched them on from the inside. Result - sexy black lace and denim .Sorry, Reggie ....no more poking fingers through the holes,lol.
With Autumn and pumpkin time coming I thought I share this recipe with you. Really worth making -it's so yummie ! Pumpkin and Cinnamon Cheesecake - it was gone within a short time . Shaun really took a shine to this,lol.

Weekened freebie part a little bit earlier

Hi and good morning peeps,
I'm posting the next 2 parts for you today before I'm back to work tomorrow.That way I won't have to rush around Sunday morning or Saturday when I'll be tired from my early shift and might even forget about it,lol.
I fell asleep last night after talking to Reggie some time during the second half of the football. Another disappointing one , the Giants won 6:3.The Pats defence seriously sucks!
Isaac is creating chaos , and that on the 7th anniversary of Katrina. The pictures I have seen thanks to a friend are not nice to look at. I feel for the poor people in those states who lost their homes and all belongings....and it's not over yet.
Then I have been busy on this blog and re-opened the Facebook page for Snowraven's Designs.New page cover/header and background as you might have noticed. And I'm trying to build up a little stock of new designs.
Plus I have been working on another project and got it finished....but pssst....can't show that yet as it's part of Reggie's birthday parcel. But I took pictures and will show what I did once he has got it.
The Scrap page I made and framed has found it's place on my wall , loving the look of it-so much better than just a framed photograph ! Never mind the bottle of cider,lol

I have a few pics to show which I took on a walk when the weather was nice. Like this little beauty...

There's more but I keep them for another day. And playing with that last new kit I made ...the romantic in me is coming out again...

But here are the next two parts of the Summer BBQ kit...enjoy !And I finally have more detailed previews for the kit.

Part two of Summer BBQ freebie

Good morning,
well...Pats lost another game last night.I hope they will get their act together once the season properly starts. Tonight it will be night shift for me, so I won't be able to watch any games over the weekend.
I actually got a few things done, even wrapped up some CU packs. Kyra writes: Hope it's a good contract they offer you!.... well, after being told that she will send me the contract to look at ,I'm still waiting. I certainly have not received one and even checked my spam to see if it went in there. Will have to contact her and let her know that I did not get anything so far....  know roughly what is in there because we talked about and I know what is required from the add.
Apart from that I have been making soap.Lavender batch and the brown ones are a herbal and seakelp mix.

And I had 3 canvas art prints on my wall which looked rather faded after the years...so I bought some Canvas paper and printed my own. They were easy to apply on top of the original canvas print with double sided sticky tape and now look like brand new again. I decided on a rose theme , the middle picture is a cropped version of the pic I took in NC.

So for the price of a little ink and canvas paper from the Pound shop /or Dollar Store I now have nice wall pictures again.
Snowy style.... it feels like autumn here and at night it even got too cool to have the window open when the temperature went down to 53 degrees. I had been looking to replace my knee/thigh high boots which gave up their life in 2010 ...I finally found a pair without high heels ! So I obviously had to snap them up, and for $30.00 they were just a bargain too good to miss.Plus I was lucky and found a matching jacket for $40.00 ...so that's it, Snowy is set for the season to come.I just loooove the black leather look. Even on a tight budget you can get some great things for a decent price if you shop around.I don't care about brand names , why pay more just because it has a designer label on it?

Anyway....the freebie. I found a few more previews as well. So here two more links for you , folders 2 and 5 this time

...and guess what? I found an add-on to the kit as well. So it will be 7 parts instead of just 6.Have fun and catch you soon again.

New freebie and another kit finished ;)

Hello,
Damn ,I'm good in the moment !.....I managed to get the Halloween kit wrapped up as well. I have to admit I cheated a bit though. I added some elements (sign posts) which I used to have for sale as Commercial use pack in "the old days". But they were fitting so perfectly with these new designs that they had to go in !
Edna is asking "I wonder, are your appliances (like a laptop) any different in the UK than they are here? If not, yes you can probably find a good bargain when you come back this winter."
Yes, Edna-they are different. We have 220 volts over here and a different plug. But that can easily be solved with an adaptor for a laptop.I already have one which I use on this laptop when I go across, with any luck it might even fit a new one , if not I have some adaptable parts to change this one, and it has a switch to change the voltage as well.
I had a good day today , despite coming of nights and not having much sleep. I was lucky to find some bargains again. You remember the 12x12  paper scrap page I did a while ago? I picked up a fitting frame for only about $5.00 today. This will go upstairs in my room on the wall .

While doing shopping and paying bills I got tired without any sleep, so I thought I will get myself an energy boost drink. I decided to try one of Reggie's favourites.... yuck...brrrrrrrrrr.... the stuff worked but I will never ever be a Mountain Dew fan ! I don't know how he can drink so much of the stuff,lol.
Lucky finds at ASDA though.... they now do Franks Hot Sauce and Marshmallow fluff. And I found Malt beer. Nothing with alcohol... but I grew up in Germany with that drink and have not had any for years.....so I'm doing the "Happy Dance".
Plus I was armed with my hot glue gun and finally finished to decorate the candle jars.

Bargain pair of boots ordered for this winter for only $30.00 .... my budget is smiling at me. Finding these kind of bargains means I can afford to treat myself :)
Design work- another teaser qp and the preview ...very happy with how it turned out.And no orange or lime green in it,lol.

I have decided to give you the Summer BBQ kit next.
Here are previews and the first two parts (6 all together , with 2 coming each week to collect) This week part 1 and 4 , so you have some backgrounds and elements already.
