My 300th post!!!!

Yay!!! Tons of great things have been happening all over the place - not just for me -
and I can't help but be happy about it. Well to just continue to be tickled
pink I'm putting out a new freebie! Commercial Use 4 Commercial Use!!

We had a yuck freeze the other day but man did it make my roses look great!
I've learned that extracting ICED images....SUCKS. At least you get the reward!!
You can download my latest freebie HERE

Now how about this kit?? A group of designers, myself included,
created this kit to help out a very wonderful woman and her son. You'll find
me advertising this left and right - repeating myself and everything. Why?
Because bad things happen to good people, and this is the only way I can
help change that around for Sarah and her 11 year old son, Brendan.

You can get more intell on this HERE


Being a part of this kit might not change the world, but I hope it helps
to change one young life & make a difference for a mother.

Tons to read!

FIRST!

Kit Information:
This kit was created in support of a wonderful woman and her son. Here's a little about WHY:

My son, Brendan, in January was life flighted to Tucson twice and diagnosed with the very rare condition Henoch Schonlein Purpura (HSP). Once they got that taken care of he has had tons of pain still and has been diagnosed now with Henoch Schonlein Purpura Nephritis (HSP Nephritis). His kidneys are having a lot of residual problems from the original HSP and he has been in and out of the hospital for 9 MOS. He will have to have kidney biopsies every few MOS and is needing still more treatment at the docs offices etc. He has still a lot of Protein and blood in his urine and they say that this condition can last for several years. His doctor here is a rare disease specialist and is doing everything she can to keep him comfortable and healthy. Brendan is 11 yrs old. He loves sports and the outdoors and would love to be out playing with other kids his age. He, however lacks the energy or strength to do much moving around at all and would rather just sit still or sleep. This is a huge change from a year ago when he was bouncing off the walls and I couldn't keep him inside! Thank you for any help at all!!! Brightest Blessings to all! Much lo ve! Sarah (LadyRaven Creations)

All proceeds of this kit will be put towards paying medical bills. Bad things often h
appen to good people - but we can help turn that around in some small way! Thank you to each designer to added their part & THANK YOU for just coming to see.

You can go HERE to grab this great kit for only $4.00!!
Every little bit counts, no matter how big or how small!


SECOND:
I LOVE making Layouts - I can't seem to help myself when I get in the mood. Okay

them, but I figure I'll eventually slow down some!! Maybe =]

Birthdays!

Both of my daughters we're born in September.
My youngest was born on the 15th - naturally I couldn't get a single good shot
of her - so that will have to wait until the birthday party. My oldest was born today
7 years ago. Now most kids want presents, special dinners, extended stays at the park..
stuff like that. Not MY daughter. Nope - she wanted to cut her lovely golden hair.
It being her birthday - I decided to let her and wow....just...wow.
Her father is going to have a heart attack when he sees & me?
Heck I haven't cried yet but I'm thinking about it.....

Before

After

Time for "birthday dinner" aka PIZZA.

Be good!

Got some layouts done!

It's been a long time since I sat down and did any layouts - I miss doing it a lot.
Course I need new pictures to work with...if only my laptop would work WITH me
instead of against me as it likes to do. Well anyway - I used freebie kits for all of these but one!
It amazes me sometimes, the kindness of some people - and even more amazing is that
SO MANY people don't even bother to say thank you.
I downloaded one kit that had over 1000 download...and 16 comments.
That's just pathetic. I know more people then that have manners -
guess they just forget how to use them?

Anyway - as usual I used pictures of my daughters - Zamera & Serenity.



I used a kit called La vie en Rose. The grungy photo frame
came from another free kit called My Garden Story. I need to get
some shots of my girls planting/weeding/lawn caring for that kit.




One of my all time favorite photos of Zamera - she's just so dang cute when she
finally sleeps. I've never met a more hyper child than her - she's been able to
wear out 4 adults in a row with out even breathing hard. Amazing really.
I got to use a very pretty kit called L'Amure Magique.



This kit I happily bought from Royanna at Divine Digitals.
I have many many plans for this kit which is called - Kitschychic.
Weird name, even weirder items - but man do they all fit just wonderfully.



This was made using a freebie add on called Natur'Ness &
well, I didn't use much of the kit for this layout - but I see more
layouts in this kits future lol




I like this kit - very earthy to me. It's Changes by Eyeinspire.
Zamera has become a monkey when it comes to trees now
that she's discovered how to get up them.




Last but not least - a cute little layout with Serenity =]
The kit I used is called Can Only Imagine.

Well, all of these are loaded up to the OSDS Gallery -
now I have to go through and delete all the crappy spam comments
in the gallery. I hate that - wouldn't it be nice if people could just
treat others with respect? What a frelling concept.

Thank you for looking!
