I just want to thank everyone for checking out my freebie and all the nice comments you all gave. Not just here, but also at SBB and the download site. I’ll see if I can some up with another goodie some time this week. Meanwhile I’m also working on a full kit, which I will also be sharing. I just have no idea how long it’s gonna take me to finish. I’ve come quite a way with my papers, but I still have to think through the elements. I can already tell you it will be a very boyish kit. That’s what you get living in a house merely populated by men, LOL.

We went to the hospital with Yared today for his pre-op screening. Luckily they didn’t have to draw blood (phew) and he was a real trooper hanging around there for almost three hours. He is known to start whining if he’s forced into an unwanted situation, but I guess he really had fun. He just got to play in between all the talks we had with the doctor, the nurse and the anesthesiologist and no big fits during the eye exam either. (That usually gets him all cranky.) Now I actually feel pretty much at ease about everything that’s going to happen. Even though I know I will be all nervous come Monday. Good thing I have my always sane and sound DH by my side to calm me down.

When I picked up Aydin from school today, I took him to the toystore. We had some birthdays this weekend and Aydin took his (empty) wallet with him, because he wanted to show everyone he had one. Of course all that family thought it was just a pitty to see a four-year-old with an empty wallet and he managed to ‘collect’ almost €3,- (about $4,-) in change. Of course all that money was burning in his pocket, so today he got to see if he could find something to buy for his money. He ended up buying Cars stickers and he was so proud of it too! He also got all sorts of ideas about what to ask for his birthday (mostly Cars stuff too, LOL).
It’s the first time he’s actually anticipating about his birthday so far ahead and that he actually wants a say in everything that has to do with it. That’s a bit of getting used to for me, since I really want to be holding all the ropes in things like that. Unbelievable, my firstborn is turning 5 and I already have to start letting go of things, LOL.

Well, I’ll have to leave it at this for today. It’s been a long day and I am soooo tired, so I better go to bed now.

Here it is!

It seems like I finally have everything in place, so let’s see if I can get you my freebie! LOL

Here’s a little layout I did with the template today

I used Mirranda Reinhardt’s kit ‘Psyched’. The font is Primer Print.

You can download the template here

The template is there in layered PSD, fullsize JPG and seperate PNG files, so take your pick of what works for you.

If you download, I would love it if you let me know what you think of it or if you show me what you did with it. Everyone says it’s awesome to see your stuff used by others and I’m ready to share that feeling!

Today I’ve just been busy getting the download ready.
Also we’ve been trying to explain a little more to our youngest, Yared, about the operation he will be having in a week. He squints pretty bad with one eye and the doctors are going to try to correct that. He is still able to look straight with it sometimes and they hope that that makes it easier for the operation to be succesful. But how much can you really explain this to a three year old? He knows the theory very well, but I’m not sure yet how well this is going to work when it’s actually happening to him, you know?
He gets a little dry practice on Tuesday. That’s when the pre-examination is. We’ll be spending about three hours at the hospital then. And guess what he’s looking forward to? Playing in the waiting room, LOL! They might have to draw a little blood then too, so that would be the REAL test.

Work in progress

Well, it’s a work in progress, but I’m getting there. I figured out how I can zip my files (finally!). So glad I have Scrapbookbytes to find my answers. I practically live there, LOL. I found a site from where I can share my freebies and I managed to get the different subjects on the side in place. Now I just have to figure out how I can put everything on here the way I want it. Like pictures. And links wrapped in text or pictures. I’m a total programming newbie, so I have to figure everything out from scratch. I was already amazed that I could actually produce a personalized signature for the forums at SBB, so go figure!

The first freebie will probably be a template, so let’s see if I can get a preview in here:

I guess that worked, woohoo!
That was easier than I thought.

Better go figure out the rest to be able to leave ya’ll with a working download link.

Here it goes!

Well then, here’s the first post to my new blog. My goal is to just share a little about what happens in my life and to share some digi-scrappin’ stuff. Eventually anyway, since I don’t have anything to put up here yet. But I’m working on creating some stuff and then, as soon as I figure out how to get it here, I’ll share it!

So come back soon!
