Hello girls.
I am so glad to be back. I truly missed designing. Though I also enjoyed the few days off the computer. :-)
We had an awesome time with my sister and her husband here. I woke up every morning to the smell of coffee, pancakes, bacon, fried eggs...or all the above. I told my BIL the joke about the man having to brew the morning coffee, since the bible says HEBREWS and so he did. :-)
In the evening we played games, mostly cribbage and this game popular in Slovakia called "Relax man!" (loosely translated). Let's just say my hubby had a hard time following the spirit of the game sometimes, he got so wound up and mad when he was not doing too great. It was a blast. We played most nights, it was pretty addictive. :-)
We also did a little traveling, though with the kids it was hard to spend too much time in the car. But we managed to go to the Superior and Michigan lakes and stop a few places on the way.
I truly had such a great time with my sister, I am missing her terribly. Oh well, time to get back to work and play. :-)
Speaking about playing, I am announcing a small give-away:
Follow me on my blog, Facebook or Twitter for a chance to win a $10 Gift Certificate to my store.
The 2 winners will be announced on Aug 31st here on my blog. :-)
And as to my designs, I have already created a set of simple templates, similar to the designs I have been using in my layouts. I hope you like them and can use them.

You can grab the templates
HERE (IL) or
HERE (ACOT).
And here is the sneak peek at my newest kit ready to be released:
(I'll be back with the links in a day or two, stay tuned.)

I also have a freebie for you today, for no special reason, just as a thank you for sticking around till after I got back from the vacation. I hope you'll enjoy it. :-)
