Final freebie for Little Darlin'...

OMG, where has today gone? I started posting this blog post this morning, HOURS ago, had the open window close when the computer rebooted itself unexpectedly, and I'm just now getting back to it. YIKES! Best intentions went flying out the window.

So, yep, I have freebie goodness for you today. It's at the bottom of this post! This is the final freebie for the Little Darlin' kit. Even if you missed the super sale earlier this week, the kit is still an amazing deal for the price. Hope you'll pick it up AND share some layouts with me. I think I might scrap with it again over the weekend when I have some time!!! Melissa gave us a Digi Pick today... YIPPEE!

I have to say the layouts being done with this kit are just blowing me away. Seriously good stuff! Speaking of which, it appears that my CT member Lilian has been scrapping with this kit NON-STOP since she got it. I've already shared several layouts she done with it... but wait, there's more!!! She just sent me links to these two today (and, I warn you now, the "awwwww, so cute" factor is high with these two!):

The powder on her face just SLAYS me! And here's another one:

Lilian is a superstar!!!

I won't bore you guys with the details of my week behind the scenes here... Suffice it to say, my cable modem has been FIXED (too many things on one line, so they ran a second line into the house -- yay!). I've been in plumbing hell with some things needing to be fixed, them being fixed, the fixed part LEAKING... yeah, it's been a bit of a mess. I was cranky to end all crankiness by the time the plumber left yesterday. He'll be back next week to fix the leak. But I'm just so over needing to have things fixed right now! All of my appliances/home systems/my car/my computer -- you all better be listening, ok? Nobody needs fixing for a LONG TIME, got it?

Ok, you've waited oh-so-patiently, so here is today's freebie! And it's a SURPRISE! I'm not telling you what you are getting! (So sneaky, eh? I actually don't have PhotoShop open right now, don't feel like waiting for it load, and I haven't done a preview yet, and I still have to zip it and upload it, so I'm pretending like I meant this to be a surprise...) The freebie does match Little Darlin'. That's all I'm sayin'. LOL

Thank you for your interest in my freebies. This download link has expired. is a link to download: DOWNLOAD FREEBIE HERE. And if you dig it, well, leave me a comment and tell me what you wanted to be when you grew up (yeah, I know, some of us are still growing up). I wanted to be a "book writer." My mom has a drawing I did in grade school of me sitting at a typewriter (it was grade school - I didn't know what computers were back then in the Dark Ages) and the header on the page said "When I grow up, I want to be.... a book writer." So there you have it. I was maybe 7 or 8 when I drew it. What did you want to be? (I don't think I've asked this question yet.)

This really is one awesome kit! I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. I still do, in a way, just not teaching kids. LOL I want people who want to learn. And actually, part of my job now is training so I get to teach a bit. :) Thank you.

Love this kit and the add-ons. Thank you for posting your CT layouts. They really help the creatively challenged (ME). At one point I wanted to be the president of the U.S. - don't know who in their right mind would want that job, now!

Thanks, Krista.
I wanted to be a veterinarian for a long time. Actually got to the point of applying to vet school and couldn't make myself finish filling out the application even though I knew I was almost guaranteed a spot for the next year. I'd met a couple of young, just out of school, vets while I was working at a vet clinic (one of the requirements of the application process) and couldn't get out of my head her telling me how both she and her DH (who was also a vet) were having to work two jobs each to meet their bills and their loan payments. She said they had about $50,000 of debt from the school loans alone. She was about 7 months pregnant at the time too. Mark and I were engaged at the time and he was working in Germany while I was still in WA and getting into vet school would have probably meant delaying the wedding a couple more years at least. I just couldn't see bringing that kind of debt on myself either. I went to grad school on scholarships and fellowships several years later.

since I didn't answer your question yesterday- sitting in a cool shady spot reading an engrossing book is definately my favorite way to pass the hot summer days. I've spent much of the last 4 days reading Harry Potter books 5 and 6 again- I haven't read them back to back before and there were definitely a bunch of details I had forgotten ;)

Thank you Krista!

For about ten years (starting around age 10 or so) I wanted to be an architect. I ate, drank, and slept architecture. I changed my major my junior year in college, something my Dad didn't understand at all. I now call it...architorture. LOL

Gee I wonder why we are friends. I too wanted to be a writer. I actually spent each night of the summer between ages 9 & 10 writing a novel on a ridiculously old manual typewriter. I did it while watching the Yankees and drinking orange juice. I remember those summer nights very vividly as some of the best nights of my life!

Thanks for the freebie. Can't believe the beauty of the kit.

What I wanted to be when I grew up: a ballerina-actress-singer-movie star. Think that was around the age of 4-10. Then it veered off into other areas. :-)

I can't remember ever really wanting to be something when I grew up. I remember my parents thinking I would be a good architect because I'm so logical and artistic at the same time, but that never appealed to me. Oh well!

thanks for the gift!

I always wanted to be a nurse. I ended up working for two different Doctors. The first one opened his first practice the year I was born (1946). I worked for him the last 2 1/2 years he practiced medicine and learned more than I did during the 17+ years I worked for the young, new Doctor that bought his practice. The older Doc taught me how to work in the back rooms, helping with patients. I learned to give shots (which, by the way, I do very well), assisted in office surgeries, etc. I decided I came close enough to being a nurse - I helped people on both sides of the desk and I loved the work I did, until I lost my job due to some memory problems caused by MS. Thanks for the last part of Lil Darlin'.

Thanks for the freebie (and the congrats e-mail) - I always wanted to be a teacher when I grew up - and was actually enrolled to do my teaching degree when I got 'recruited' to work where I'm at now (4 years later) .... Never really used the degree I got either - goes to show you never know what you'll be when you 'grow up'.

I've been a big fan of your work for some time. But for the last few weeks, I've been unable to download your freebies. Has anyone else experienced problems and therefore solutions?

Thank you! My Nana always dreamed I would be a nurse and marry a doctor, and be really rich. I became a teacher, married a computer analyst, and am comfortably happy!

I still remember doing the ... When I grow up ... essay in primary school. I listed a few things in order of preference: Ballerina, Actress, Author, Nurse, Air Hostess or if all else fails I'll be a Nun.

I remember my teacher (a nun) was not best pleased at the implication that the convent was full of life's failures. I got a friendly clip round the ear for that comment.
