Freebie Friday - August 1st

Hi Everyone,

It's Friday!!!  Can you believe it has been nearly two months since the last Freebie Friday... WOW.

And AUGUST 1st!  Double wow!

Today is the last day to vote on the ANYTHING GOES challenge.  Oh my goodness... there are 178 projects submitted.
EEEKKK... you all make me so happy!!!  Thank you - Thank you - Thank you for playing along.

Just because there are so many entries... I am going to give prized to the top 3.  Be sure to go VOTE and come back on Sunday to see the Lucky Winners, it might be your name you see.

Tomorrow, Saturday August 2nd - Challenge #79 will be posted.  I think I missed a week.  opps!

Summer has been such a blast!  So much going on with work, school and life in general but we have really been taking advantage of getting outdoors.  Since we are new to the area there is so much to see and do.  The weather this year has been beautiful.  I think it has only rained 6 or 7 days since Pumpkin started summer break. 

Yep, she is out for the summer.  So you are wondering why I said so much going on with school... well technically its not school in the traditional sense, more like intense studying.  About 4 hours a day.  I am preparing for a credential exam in my line of work and it is going to be intense around here for then next 6 months.  I only hope my family doesn't starve because I have forgotten to feed them. hehe

Some of our other adventures:

We climbed to the top of Tiger Mountain a couple of weeks ago.. yep Pumpkin too.  She was a trooper.  Here is a pic at the top!  We got so dirty... I even stepped in dog doo... yuck!  But what an accomplishment.  I felt so great when we go home and slept like a rock.

It was a 3 mile hike up the mountain... at least that is what hubby says. :)  My step counter did not give me that many steps. hehehe  It was so much fun

And we finally broke ground for our new home.  So excited to watch this project develop.
 
 


Ok, Freebie Friday Finally!!

This week up for Grabs is this lovely set of stamps that I have:  They will be a wonderful addition to anyone's stamp collection. 

From Stamping Scrapping and designed to work with the Spellbinders labels.  Just in time for the upcoming holidays and traditions.  There are 5 label stamps, 7 sentiment/word stamps, and 6 image stamps.  18 stamps total.


 
If you would like to purchase a set of these, I have just 1 more set for $7.  Send me an email if you are interested.


Freebie Friday has changed a little bit. 
1st - You have a FULL WEEK to link up
2nd - YOU LINK UP - no comment necessary, but highly appreciated.
3rd - Just joking, there is no third.  hehe





Have a great weekend everyone.  See you again tomorrow with Challenge #79.
Hugs,

Denine


A note for international participants.
I am thrilled to have you play along on the Freebie Friday's and Challenges.  However, due to the high cost of international postage, I ask that you pay the difference.  I will email you an invoice for the Postage amount over what I would have paid for a domestic shipment.  Please feel free to email me with any questions.
