Rikki has These Beautiful Watercolors up for sale now. YOU need too check them out.. Talk about Versitility!!! :) Get them all at PolkaDot Potato
Rikki Says:

My new stuff has hit the shop. Four Easy-as-pie-templates that were available
during the potato bar are now in the shop for regular price. Also there is a
paper pack with 26 sheets of watercolored cardstock. Every sheet has a different
watercolor texture. The perfect basic paperpack that you can use on all your
layouts. Use them as a background and mix with patterned papers. Use them for
photo mats where a patterned paper would be too busy. Use them to cut out
ornaments or shapes to embellish your pages. The possibilities for plain
watercolor paper are endless.

Sorry no downloads today.. As I am MAKING THEM FOR YOU!!! :) MOOT MOOT:)

Update and Layouts

SO I figured it was a time for an update on the family:)

Erin, Overworked.. Plain and SIMPLE!!!! comes home and he is so tired.. But I think ALOT of it has to do with the heat!! But Obviously there isn't much change with him... Nor I.. LOL We just seem to have grown up already or something LOL


Curtis, OHHHH WOW.. You can tell he is 6 going on 7.. He has that little sas back Smart Mouth happening.. It used to be Did that make you happy mom? I love you mom.. now its "Who needs Kyle, he is being mean" I said WHAT?? You dont talk like that about Anyone.. Especially your Brother!!! YOU NEED Him.. You may be upset but you will ALWAYS NEED him.. He is growing up and I understand that.. I am NOT going to keep him from that. :) But he could loose the upcoming attitude part and everyone would BE GREAT!!!


Kyle.. OHHH WOW dont even know what to say here... He is competely independent now. He is talking in full sentences.. and he is doing that.... um how do you say... When he speaks he is using words you never KNEW that HE KNEW!!! LOL I have to say "What did you say?" Just so I can hear him say it again.. and then my heart skips because I am happy then I realize.. MOMMA Your boyz are growing up :( I know I have been wanting them to get outta diapers and STOP FIGHTING!!!! but then something happens and you just realize how fast time is going.

Clint... Well Just as I said.. growing Fast.. There is no exception here.. he Talks more than Kyle ever did at age 2.. He says the cutest things.. and for the life of me I can't think of them now. LOL I keep thinking I am going to write that down and make a layout.. but then I AM SOOO busy with them that I dont have to to QUICK jot them down and then I FORGET!!!! ARG!!!! But he is definately a Momma's boy.. :) hes momma's Baby!!! :)

Alright I have a few pictures to show.. I was going to upload all the Zoo pics but as we are still have internet problems I am going to wait.. The guy came yesterday and climbed all the way up the poll to the internet dish and said there is something wrong and he didn't have the piece with him.. so he would come back.. so hopefully today.. OR tomorrow.. he stayed till almost 7 i think it was.. and he would have gotten off at 5... so he is truly my internet angel for giving up his time.. (im sure he also gets paid overtime.. but still it was very kind of him.) HUGS to the internet guy!!! :)

Here are a few layouts I have done recently..

Pics Galore:)

So I will keep the reading to minimum:) Just want to start out by saying I am SOOO HAPPY that You all love my Kit as much as I do!! the response has been Incredible! :) THANK YOU! Also, Thanks to you have said your own part for the "Freebie Bully" Like the others had said.. they are Free.. BUT!!! I have a New Concept.. IF You pay 5.00 to my paypal account I will let you say ANYTHING YOU WANT in Reguards to the kits. You can break them down and bad mouth them all you want... You Just have to pay for them first. LOL Figure then You would have a REASON to gripe about the Quality and the likes and Dislikes.... Right? LOL

Alright so Here are a few More layouts from Bonnies Kits I Have made:)

wanted to add a few things today!

I just wanted to add a few things today! :)

I was choosen as site of the Week at Ditters Freebie Vault!!! Isn't that the GREATEST!!! Thank you Holly that seriously just made my day!! HUGS:)

Also on 4shared.. I am not being mean or calling anyone out.. I just wanted to address Mona's comment about my envelopes.

Sorry, I just realized that your envelopes are closed and opened at the
same
time, and come in one png file instead of two. Well, you might wish to
revise them a bit. In this kind of work it's the little details that
count.

I just wanted to say.. its little things like this that MAKE my kits Unique from OTHERS and not the SAME as others. I dont like to create the same ole same ole all the time. and I know the details count that is why I put the details in them. :) Again.. I am offering them as freebies, I dont make you pay:)

HUGS:)

While I am on here I think I will share a few more layouts.. and MAYBE since I am generous and in a GREAT MOOD... Site of the Week, Manu's CT, Beautiful FREE Envelopes.. I May have another FREEBIE for you at the end!!!!! :)WOOT:)

All of these Layouts are from NinaScraps Her link is in the Side bar under IMCreative4. :) These were so much fun to create!!!:)
