Събота по обяд. Усещането е, че нещо се изплъзва. Че си отива безвъзвратно без капка сантимент. Този път нещата просто се случиха без да им добавям съпричастност. Сега остава да разтворя кофейн, да долея дъч лейди и да прогоня нечестивите мисли. По това време ще дойде и помощта от приятел, който се наслаждава на задоволството в съседство. В този смисъл няма как нещата да се объркат и да не заемат издълбаните си ниши. Отново. Не би трябвало да вкарваш кубчето в триъгълната дупка, не е нужно дори да го желаеш. Съвсем достатъчно е да се отпуснеш самозадоволително и да се порадваш на всички пропуснати емоции, защото едва когато си готов да си ги представиш, ще си способен да приемеш всичко. That's cool enough for me ... I know!

LVS&CO-FOURTH OF JULY COMBAT BOOTS

They are currently selling their summer potpourri for just $.25!! I got some for parent volunteer gifts and such. They also gave me 3% back for using my debit card, which was great.

I also received an ad from Ikea in the mail-- their little side tables are 1/2 off this weekend for just $6.99! If I wasn't trying to save money like mad right now, I'd go buy a couple for my classroom!

If you live near an Ikea, it may be worth it to visit this weekend! (Sorry Seattle, apparently you guys don't get free breakfast!)

There's been an enormous amount of activity on my Blog this week from people looking for a Wings template - over 100 hits a DAY! Whoever you are, could you please do me a favour and satisfy my burning curiousity by showing me what you are doing with those darn wings? I would love to put a picture up on my Blog for you!

Other news this week - the dreaded lurgy has hit (again) and the less said about that the better, I reckon.

For some reason, though, I have been bolstered by the lurgy and it has caused a creative orgasm resulting in a Bazillion layouts this week. I won't bore you with them all, but here are some of them:

Just click on the thumbnails for a larger view to pop up.

As well as Paper scrapping, I have been hard at work flexing my Photoshop fingers and creating all manner of Digi things. I have made some Father's Day cards this week - perfect for the Father who has everything and enjoys a bit of a giggle.

Just click HERE to get to E!dou and my Father's Day pack - as well as the rest of my Digi creations. You get 6 card "faces" in a pack which would be perfect just printed out on their own OR you could be really clever and pop them on the front of a Publisher card template - then just type in your own greeting on the inside! And for a sale price of $3.99 USD you get a bit of a bargain - that's less than a dollar each. Better than Hallmark any day! LOL.

I have also got a few other things to let you know - the first BIG thing is that Upsy Daisy Designs have changed management and are looking for some new members for their Design Team!

Upsy Daisy is a Canadian Scrapbooking Company and I have been fortunate ebough to be on their DT for close to 6 months now. I have loved every minute of it.

Several new designers have joined the Digital Candy Design Team over the past few weeks, so be sure to check them out, too!

My dear laptop display died over a week ago, so I have been in limbo while my computer's being fixed. I hope to have it back within the next week or two so I can get back to working on my new kits! I've got 3 in the works - 2 of which are so very close to being finished. Hopefully by mid September I can be back into the swing of things and can then let you all in on some very exciting news! It's amazing how dependent you become on your technology. Great when it works- and totally frustrating when it doesn't! :)

For those of you in the states, I hope you have a great holiday weekend! Everyone not in the states, of course I hope you have a great weekend, too! :) :)

Also, I've got a new product in the $1 section of the shop:

Find it HERE

And I've got a new freebie kit in the shop:

Here's the message that Bronlewee sent to his Facebook followers::

"I know it sounds crazy, but I'm giving away the audiobook for HOUSE OF WOLVES! I recorded it myself (thanks to my cousin Josh for the editing!), and there are tons of little surprises! (You won't believe it when you hear my 7-yr-old son Cole as one of the main bad guys!!)

As a bonus, I had my good buddy Matt Stanfield create a soundtrack, which is also available for free on my website.

Go to WWW.MATTBRONLEEWE.COM for download craziness!!!"

You heard the man or rather you can hear the man if you head on over to mattbronleewe.com and check out his latest book today!

Faefever that is. I already enjoyed SciFi.com and their respective cable TV channel, but them willingly embracing the Fever this way, well I heart them that much more.

Karen Moning has already posted a small excerpt of the highly anticipated third book in her Fever series, Faefever, but now SciFi.com is burning up as well with a slightly longer excerpt too - the first three chapters.

Click here to read and enjoy. September 16h is release day. First up is the prologue and chapter one. I am assuming they're doling out the other 2 chapters in a bit. Keep checking back with the link above.

What are you waiting for? Spike your Fever.

Special thanks to Phade message board member JSuarez for the heads up.
