HO HO HO Merry Xmas!!!

Well in another 5 hours but hey who's counting. Just wanted to jump online and give you all your gift from my Santa Sack.

Well it will be very quiet here. Michael is working tonight and tomorrow night so Yup!!! He'll be asleep all day tomorrow. Accept for when he eats his Chrissy Dinner around 2.30pm. So we have already got our Christmas from eachother anyway so it's no biggy. Michael got his bike serviced this week and got a set of pagnions (I can't spell) they are those bags that hang either side of the back of the bike like saddle bags. So he can get his gear to work and he put some first aid gear in there too in case he came across an incident or had to repair his wife LOL. So that's what he got from me. I also got him something to open, just something small. Now he got me a gig or RAM ( for the laptop) so I got awesome service from Darren Boehm at Express Computer Repairs, 2 Bridge Street, Epping (here in Sydney). And wowsers was it express, Darren did it there and then and even gave my system tray a clearout and my keyboard a power blow to get the dust out. He was great and it was worth the almost 1 hour it took me to drive over there from inner Sydney. Thanks Darren! And Thanks Michael, my Sweetness!! My computer is so much faster in all aspects.



Okay so We are having Roast Pork and Roast Chicken with all the trimmings and Christmas Pudding and Brandy Custard. The remains of which will end up going to the other ambos tomorrow night for nightshift pickings.

So Here's the Santa Sack and what do you think I have in here for you....?







A Quickpage of course. I know how you all love quickpages so I made this one to share with you all for Christmas. and it's one you can use all year round. Enjoy and Many Christmas Blessings to you and all your family from mine!!

Scrap It Quickpage 2


Merry Christmas

Another Freebie _ CD Calendar

I thought for the new year we would have a CD calendar for each month. I just thought these were such a cool idea. Sooo here is January 09 for you to pop into a CD case, Just take the lid off and put it on back to front so that when it is open it will stand up like a photo frame. Okay? Clear as Mud, LOL.


Okay I'd post a pic of mine so you can see how to do it!!

OOOH and just before I go I wanted to say Yay
My Husband is the best. For my Christmas Pressie he has got my laptop uploaded with another gig of RAM. So now my photoshop is running super quick and I am scrapping and designing faster than ever. I am sooo happy!!! Plus he got me a present only a Husband could get me. You all know that we do a bit of Bike riding and well, lets face it, your tooshy as well as other pieces of the anatomy get sore, soooo...
Michael got me some of those bike pants with the padding in them. Yes, you feel like your 100 years old and wearing an incontinence pad but it is going to make me so much more comfy when riding my bike LOL. It was so funny when I tried them on at the bike shop. I said to him, "Does my Bum look big in this?" LOL Hilarious. Thank god whenever I am wearing them my bum will be on the seat of the bike. And no I won't be posting a picture of me in them Yikes

Okay go grab your calendar and have a great week. Be back in another day or so with the Chrissy post.

Hugs
Tracy

A new Kit and a Freebie!!

Okay so I have a new kit, finally. And I also have a new freebie Quickpage for you that I made with the new kit.


Presenting: Scrap It. Not very original name but It works for me LOL.


I know it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere but here in Australia it is Summer and I am thinking of summery colours. So you could always grab this kit from either of my stores and warm yourself up by scrapping some of your spring or summer pics. It might keep Jack Frost from nipping at your nose quite so much.

So here is a preview. I have started adding an extra close up preview of the elements so you can get a better look at the details. The kit has 53 elements and 15 papers. And it is half price thru
January 3rd 2009. So if you want a great deal on this one you better grab it now. Available at both my stores, so just click on your preference at the top right of my blog on the My Stores Links



Okay here is your freebie using my new kit!!






So just click on the image to be taken to 4shared to download the free quickpage, leave a little love here or there, and don't share the file.

I also have a freebie in this week's SAS newsletter HERE , it's the last newsletter for the year and it's got some lovely freebies for you to snag. My Journalling Challenge is still running thru to new years eve so if you feel like journalling and grabbing two freebie posting bonuses hop on over to the challenge forum and check it out HERE.

I May be away but...

I'm still in the Designer Spotlight over at TTS so while you are reading up on me and asking questions guess what... if you tell LauraM which of my kits is your favourite, you could win it!! Also there is a surprise waiting in that thread too!!
As for the rest of my stores well, I still have 50% off over at SAS till 16th November and also I have my two newest kits Bashful Romance and Mandarin Dream on sale at TTS for 50% off for the rest of November to celebrate being in the spotlight!! So you really can't lose when it comes to sales from me at the moment LOL.


As I mentioned before and also My Darling Sweetness Taz the Ambo mentioned it in his hijack post below. I am in Queensland visiting with my Mum. I haven't seen her since I drove her up here in February so it was about time I came up and checked out her new digs and made sure she was adjusting to being a Queenslander alright. Well she has slipped into the lifestyle here like it is a warm bath. LOL. She is very active in social things around the area she is living in and has frequent contact with my brother Steve and his family, including my eight year old niece so she is absolutely loving life here!! Which is a huge comfort to me.
We did a few big drives while I was here including a drive up to the Sunshine Coast and a drive to visit my wonderful Friend and Sis Danielle and her Mum, who I have called Mum since the year dot!! I hadn't seen them in over a year, before the weight watchers thing started, so 20kg ago LOL. And yes the excess that went on in IVF mode has dropped off again thank god!!
Tomorrow is full too with some things to get done in the day and then a dinner at my brother's place at night. Thursday will be filled too, so you see my dears, I only get time to do my designing duties during the night when I go to my room for bed, which usually waits an hour or two for me to check the emails and do some work. Busy, Busy, Busy. But loving it all LOL!!
Here's a few pics of us, ashamed to say I haven't taken that many pics but too busy doing things to think of snapping them. I'll try harder tomorrow LOL.
I was given a performance the second night I was here from my niece on her violin!! Bravo!!!

But she decided she didn't like the idea of the surf when it was a bit rough, the Crabs might get her!!! So she had a play on the playground equipment instead, so no photos of that...
Me on the little fishing pier at
a park mum found where she can let the dog off the lead in a special area. Lovely place, and as you can see my new transition lenses in my glasses are surviving the Queensland Sun very nicely too!!
Have a great day where ever you are!! Mwah!! See you when I am home safe and sound!!

Hello world, Taz here.

Ambowife (the cheese and kisses) is away in banana land (Queensland - they have a lot of bananas there) visiting the Outlaw (Mother-in-law - mine).

She took her computer and left me home alone with the dog (cause she knows she can).

She should/will be back Friday night but will not be available wink wink, nudge nudge, you know what I mean?

Just thought I would let you know why there hasn't been a post in nearly a week, I don't know how she does that, I post to workout my tension and deep thoughts so they don't weigh me down.

Be safe and happy scrapping

I'm a SAS-y Lady Woo Hoo freebie celebration

Stranger things have happened I guess but not to me. I have joined the Design Team at SAS and opened my Store today!! So if you are after some great deals, head over there. I have my whole store on sale at 50% off for the next two weeks to celebrate my launch. So if there is anything you fancy now is the time to snag it at a reduced price. Before I go on I better tell you where.





































This is a preview of my newest kit and tomorrow night I should have a freebie up for you too!! So remember to come back and check. LOL I have only been on the team a day or two and I am already having a ball LOL.
SAS is also having a sale of 50% off all regular priced items today only, it started on friday but I haven't blogged. Sorry.
I have bad news too. Gotta take the good with the bad I'm afraid. We lost our embryos yesterday so there will be no babies for now. I really thought we had a good fighting chance this time too. We will leave it all alone for now I think and have a rest from it all. Thanks for all the lovely comments and blessings.


Okay here's the freebie, a Quickpage made with my new kit. Hope you enjoy it, leave some love and don't share the link okay?!
