Snapshots, Hearts and coffee

*WARNING* -  Grab coffee or a cold drink, long post ahead-lol*

OMG, I had Deon in my PC on Wednesday night trying to see if it's my network card that might be giving me problems with my connections... mmmm, lets just say this girl nearly pooped her brooks when my PC wouldn't work properly after he had been inside the poor thing.. But hat's off to Dee ( well ok he was shit scared NOT TOO- BWHAHAH) he sat up till the early hours and got my PC back to what it was.. but still no solid connections. lol. Hopefully this weekend they can play.. but my "baby" was needed this week.... WHEEEEEEE, I have a brand new kit out today!

I got to work with the very talented Jenn of Jennifer Labre Designs on this wonderful creative project - one that I have been dying to do and have had a few requests for too.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it:

Sweet on U

EEEK, can you believe it's FEBRUARY already?? Wasn't it Christmas yesterday? lol OMG, I saw EASTER eggs in the shops already yesterday _ SERIOUSLY??? No jokes, it just seems to get earlier and earlier each year.. I know if I had to buy Easter Eggs NOW they wouldn't be around here on Easter Morning- nope I would have to do some "re-buys" by April for sure! They would be sitting in the cupboard shouting.. eat me, eat me, eat me - hahahahahahaha.
Yesterday was also my Dearest and Best Friend Deon's Bday..
Happy Birthday 'ol Fart.

We went out for supper last night which was awesome but I think it's the first time in years that Dee has woken up in the morning after his Bday without a HANGOVER! Sure he will be making up for that this weekend though as the boys aren't working overtime and have taken the weekend off. lol

And the boys eventually THINK they know what has been wrong with my internet connections as we had the techies out on Friday AGAIN! lol. My wireless on my Laptop is working like a dream and is as strong as ever ( and it works through the SAME modem I use for my main line) mmmmmmm, so why does my connection go POOF all the time even after the tower has been fixed! ( and it's been doing it BEFORE the tower went bang due to lightning! lol)... my network card!! DUH! We were all slow to think of it actually as we have tons of power outages and surges here due to sever storms! Well they promised to FIX it this weekend- so here's holding thumbs I get my WOOPIE fast connection back in a few days- lol

Internet broke AGAIN

BWWWWAHAHA- OMG, I am sooo frustrated it isn't funny. My main internet connection has been OFF for the most part of January. Seems all the storms we have been having in this area keeps damaging the main tower.

They have been on the phone with me constantly letting me know what is happening etc etc, but arrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh, FIX IT DAMMIT! lol. I've been on poor Deon's little portable wireless AGAIN - which has been a life saver for sure- but it's dial up speeds when it comes to uploading or even posting this page. GREAT for mail and just browsing. But hey, it's still way better than being totally without a "lifeline" right? ;-P

I got a "mainline" fix for about 5 hours yesterday- OMG, I was like a mad woman- uploading like a banshee. Running around the internet like a loon, no food, no coffee- just give me SPEED! BBWWWWHAHAHAHAHA.  ;-P

I got up some "requests" into a CU GRAB BAG yesterday at Sugar Hill Co.

February Grab Bag

6 Brand new products are included in this limited time Grab Bag for only $5:

It has a set of brushes and a Layerstyle set too - but each one comes with PNG and JPG files for use in any programmes ;-)

OOOH I totally forgot about this too:- Yikes!

I got to play with Design by Tina's new kit: "Un Peu De La France"

And this is what I did with it-

Of course it's my darling niece Caden.

*random chatter*-lol OMG! Well you all know Nathan started working this year and in his FIRST month of working he had to ask for time off as he has his "Provincial colours" for Rock and Surf Fishing Under21's! lol

His boss is very impressed about it ( Thank Goodness) as he is a big fisherman himself ( seems Nath landed in the right job- BWHAHAHA).

Anyways, Nathan KNEW that he would get an initiation of a HEAD SHAVE as all the boys getting into the team have had it done by the "old toppies". BUT oh man... what he didn't know was they first hack at it with scissors and leave it like that for a DAY! Nathan was NOT IMPRESSED and sent me photo's with a MOM, how the hell do you fix this?????

A BEFORE shot above ( these were small photo's sent to my camera) OMG, I nearly cried myself! They made him walk around like - well sit in the car while they travelled to Cape Town! mmmmmmmmmmmmm- SHAVE it my boy and no number 1 on a clipper is even going to save that!

He tried a number 1 first- but it looked terrible with the lines still going through like a train station- so it was use the clipper BARE and take it down to the scalp. and when I got the last photo- I nearly freaked as he looks JUST LIKE HIS DAD did in the Army! OMG, it's like looking at Wayne's twin. I think he looks cute actually, but then again he is my BOY! lol. He is not impressed by does laugh at it now ;-)

Wear sunscreen on that head my boy and keep a cap on- cause it's going to BURN! hahahaha- OY!

I have a little something I made up and re-did them for you into usable "brushes" and PNG's as a CU freebie that you can play with:

6 PENCIL doodles made into brushes (all clean and tidy-lol) and separated PNG's for those who can't use the brushes ;-)

I used the same techniques for my hearts in the CU Grab Bag above>

You can grab them HERE: http://www.4shared.com/zip/Ln3eu12e/kb-pencil4U.html

Well I'm off to grab coffee as this is going to take a while to post- hahaha. (with two time outs so far- here's hoping #3 hits the spot! oy!-lol)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'm praying those techs get their asses in gear and get me up and running again ;-)

Hugs and Loves

It's a Dogs life

WHeeeeee- it's Friday the 13th today! Are you superstitious? To me Friday the 13th has always been lucky! I LOVED going to our local casino at home on Friday the 13th's - It would usually bring me a little "spending money"- hee hee. But that won't be today as I'm FAR away from my home casino and might just try a lotto ticket tonight ;-P- lol

Before I get to some "it's a dogs life photo's" I wanted to show you some new ribbons and things up at Sugar Hill. co today... just in time for those "Valentines or love themed" creations.

Make sure you check my newsletter for an "EXTRA DISCOUNT COUPON" just for you.

A dogs life???- well it's definitely Wayne's adopted Poodle "Sherlock's"... Gosh, the poor thing has been so quiet since we got back from holiday and I said to Wayne he is pining and wanting the fun he had on holiday.. hell I'm feeling a bit like that too. Who doesn't want to have sun, sea and family and friends everyday lol

mmmmmmmmmmmm, this boat thing is not so bad... sitting in the front here is better than hanging out a car window for sure!

ooooh Ok, much more fun on "Dads" lap driving I think?

Well lets seee.., getting spoilt in Granddad's lap on a fun family ride is maybe better?

OOOH NO.... this is MUCH better, why sit when you can lie down, have the wind blowing through your hair and be in DAD's lap-- yeah yeah this is heaven! lol

................ to be continued- lol

Sherlock had a blast as is now a "CAPE or BEACH" dog for sure.. he even loved the water and swimming in the river and sea. We had good laughs at him and his antics and the "grand parents" have phoned twice to see how their little "man" is doing now that he is home- BWHAHAHA. Looks like Sherlock has found the perfect family too ;-)

I have a little freebie CU SAMPLER for you today
