Book Review - Dark Poessession

{Book Review - Dark Possession}

Okay, so I haven't done a review in a while. But I just finished reading this book last night: DARK POSSESSION by Christine Feehan. I have to say I enjoy this book alot. Manolito and Mary Ann are great together. This is my second favorite book out of the whole Carpathian series. My first favorite is still DARK CELEBRATION. I can't wait for the next book. I hope it's about Manolito's brother Zacharias. His brief and powerful apperance in this book has got my curiosity about him peaked.

My two most favorite out of the whole series:

Halloween is almost upon us

I just love Halloween. I've already been asking my kiddos what they want to dress up as this year. Anyway, Two Moms In A Blog is hosting a Halloween Costume Giveaway and the winner of this giveaway gets a $100.00 gift certificate to Halloween Mart. I love the costumes there. If I won this giveaway, I get my kiddos these:
For my teenager
For my pre-teen
For my youngest

Of course they will probably change their mind about 10 times before I actually go buy their costumes.

Special Announcement - Be sure 2 Read

~*~Special Announcement~*~
Well i have been banging my head trying to figure out how not to exceed my bandwidth every month within the few days. I have alreaady upgraded my 4shared account. Of course that did not help, plus I don't want to pay for extra bandwidth either. I also really don't fell like asking for donations. So after mentioning my little problem to hubbie, he suggested I not leave my freebies up forever, but for a short period of time. Which grudgingly , I've decided to do. But i think I will leave certain freebies up, like the QPs I'm doing for Pillowgirl and etc. So starting tomorrow I'll be posting the next freebie for the Barnyard Pals {2 of 3}. This will only be available for 24hrs. As for my previous freebies, I'll be expiring the links. So if you haven't already downloaded them, I'd do so quickly.
............................................................................................................

Quick note: Just wanted to thank everyone who leave me comments. I love reading them. They motivate me to keep designing new stuff to share, so keep on posting!

Things we did over the summer holiday

Just some things we did over the summer holiday:

Here's a steno pad I decorated with some left over scrapbook supplies. Made this over the summer holiday. Left some room on it for me to doodle on it.



...........................................................................................................

The girls and I decorated some clipboards as well. We made these for all of the grandpas.



Which they all loved. We got the idea from this book by
:
Laurie Dewberry called "Paper Every Day".

Poll Closed and Freebie {PinkuPixie Felt Wordart}

Thanks to everyone who took part in the poll. I've decided to leave alphas that are part of a kit up permanently and the alphas that are random up for 5 days {this may change in the future} so if you want the random ones you'll have to get it while you can. Hopefully this will also slow down my bandwidth being maxed out the first week of each month. In the meantime here's a freebie for you:


I separated them into two zip files since not everyone has both boys and girls. Download one or both ;o) your choice.

Freebie {PinkuPixie September Wallpaper}

Here is September's wallpaper. I had to use an old first day pic. I don't have any new pics yet, since my girls don't start school until later this week. As usual there are 3 sizes. The 1440x900 is for wide screen monitors. The 1024x768 is for regualr size monitors. The third size, 1280x1024 is what my monitor size is {17"}. All wallpaper are in PNG format. All you have to do is open the wallpaper up in your photo editing software {like PSP, PI, PSE, PSCS2 and etc.} add your pics behind the wallpaper.I usually have to do a little bit of cropping/resizing to my pics. Once you've done that simply flatten the image and save it as a JPG file. Then go to your desktop, right-click and select properties. Click on desktop tab, then browse button and select your wallpaper file. Click open, then okay. Here's a screen shot of this month's wallpaper:
