Did anyone see Burlesque??? I love the song Cher did towards the end of the movie..."You Haven't Seen the Last of Me!". Love it so much...added it to my playlist last night lol. Wanna hear it...scroll down to the playlist and go to the menu...it's the very first song. You might have to scroll up to find it, but it's there! My daughter, Tiffany, said it reminds her of me and I should make it "my song" lol.

Redid the facebook page too....if you were on the "like" list before, you will have to re-add yourself....sorry about that. Haven't posted anything on there yet, but I'm working on it!

Also working on my e-crater store. Have to upload the rest of my older stuff there and then I am going to work on a new kit hehehe! Have a ton of dark and morbid ideas...just haven't gotten around to doing anything with them yet!

Have a great day all!!! Big Huggles!!!

Hey Hey!!!!

2011-03-16T05:37:00.000-04:00

Ok...let's see if I can remember how to do this lol! Couldn't access my blog for the longest time...but guess what! I'M BACK!!! LOL! Not creating kits right away, but trying to find some spare time to do it in the near future. Been away from the scrap kit world so long, I am out of the loop! Need to catch up on everyone and the goings on that I've missed! See I have to get into my images and straighten them out to lol!
Ok...Will catch you up on my life later today. Have a ton of things to do right now before I go to work (yes...work...as in...actual real life job...lol).
Big Huggles!!!
(By the way...Big thank you's to Jessica and Barb...you two are truly wonderful friends to have)

Designers Needed for new Blog Train!

2010-07-07T20:40:00.001-04:00

That's right...Wicked Princess Scraps and I are hosting our first ever blog train. If we get enough participants we may continue to do blog trains once a month. This means even more freebie kits for everyone. August's train is "Gay Pride Awareness". This is a subject that I, personally, do not feel has been tackled by the scrapping community as much as it perhaps should have. And while neither myself nor Wicked Princess are gay, we do feel very strongly on the subject. If you are a designer and interested in joining, please feel free to contact me - gothicwitch2007@gmail.com. Thank you!!

Here is my sneak preview of the kit I did for the train...

New PTU kit at Aussie Scraps!

2010-06-21T21:07:00.000-04:00

Wow! I've been so busy lately that I keep forgetting to put this one up on here...

Available exclusively at Aussie Scraps...

Gothic Beach Party!

And here is the one I just finished and uploaded to the store...

Both kits feature exclusive custom posers by MediEvil!

And both are only available at Aussie Scraps!

2010-06-15T14:02:00.001-04:00

Well...as you can see, I redid the background for the blog.

I wanted to lighten it up a bit because I couldn't see the comments being left lol!

Now they show up just fine!

I've also started a new yahoo group!

This group is for kit designers, tutorial writers, and anyone else who would like to join...Read more about it at

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/magickalscraps/

It's a 100% copyright compliant group.

It's also by invite only...but if you want to join, just click on join and let me know who you are (i.e.: kit designer, tutorial writer) or a brief explanation as to why you would like to join.

I plan on starting some contests/challenges as soon as we get enough people in there.

Ok...off to work on the newest kit...Big Huggles!

Attention! Creative Team Members!

2010-06-15T08:33:00.000-04:00

Hi ladies!

As you probably know by now, I moved this past weekend!

Unfortunately, my pc didn't have wireless hook up (don't understand that one lol), so I am stuck using hubby's! But it's ok...because I've already installed everything I need on it lol!

Major problem though...I don't have any email addresses saved!

If you ladies could email me privately just so I have your email addresses again, that would be great!

I've already contacted some of you via facebook!

Working on new kit later today and have a couple surprises in store for some of you!

Hehehe!

Have a wonderful, love-filled day!

Big Huggles and Blessings!

Attention! All "Illegal Share" Yahoo Group Owners!!!

2010-06-14T10:00:00.000-04:00

Just to let you all know...I'm a rat! LOL! Ah yes...this lovely little rumor is making it's rounds through the yahoo groups again! Funny...last time this happened (several months ago), it was proven false then too!

Here's my email address....gothicwitch2007@gmail.com . If you believe I am in one of your groups and they send illegal shares, please feel free to remove me as a member! I can guarantee that not one group owner (of an illegal share group) will find me in their member's list! Why? Because I don't belong to those kinds of groups. In fact, the only groups I do belong to are: advertising groups, "legit" freebie scrap kit groups (2 or 3 of them), my store groups, and groups for the stores that I frequent! Oh yes....and 2 tutorial sharing groups! I don't want to forget them!

Apparently, someone has taken it upon themselves to label not only myself, but 2 other people, as "rats"! Personally, I don't care...people will think what they think! I do think it's a shame that this certain someone didn't bother to check on this little rumor before forwarding our email addresses to several groups. Gee...I wonder how she would feel if I posted her email address right here (oh yeah...honey...I do know who you are...it seems that I still have friends out there...a lot of them in fact...who have been keeping me updated not only on your original post, but also how well some of the mods and owners of the groups you sent this to are responding. I believe you got your ass handed to you!). I would like to thank the owners and mods of those groups for standing up for those of us who couldn't be there to stand up for ourselves!

Now...a couple quick questions for those stupid and ignorant enough to start this malicious rumor...

1.) Do you really think I would use my usual, everyday email address to "rat" on you? NOT! If I was a rat, I sure as hell wouldn't be doing that. I would come up with another email address that I have never used before!

2.) If you are so worried about "rats", then you must know that you are sharing "illegal" shares! So...STOP! Or else, leave the "rats" alone...because as long as there are "pirates", there will also be "rats"! I for one, don't really care either way! Rat or Pirate....I'm just happy doing my own thing, and really don't have time for either one!

Think "thou protest too much"? Well...think what you will! Either way, I don't really care! I speak my mind and don't have time for the "baby games"! So if by speaking up and not only defending myself but the other ladies involved makes me "guilty" in your eyes...so be it!

Now...I fully realize that by posting this...there is probably going to be a ton of "illegal" links sent to groups for my kits! Guess what? Oh well! I expect these kinds of things to happen and have since I first started creating scrap kits! "Pirates"...do what you will! Because there are still enough "honest and trustworthy" people out there that will actually go to the stores and purchase the kits. In fact....I might have an "I'm a Rat" sale! LOL!

Anyway...have a great day all! I just moved over the weekend and have to get back to unpacking! But I promise, I'm working on my new kit later today. And should have a freebie kit done by the end of the week. So stay tuned!

Big Hugs and Blessings!

2 Day Tag Contest!!!

2010-05-08T22:08:00.002-04:00

So...I decided to have a contest for my wonderful Creative Team!

I made a new kit (which hasn't gone in stores yet...but will be available Monday after the contest) called "Dark Wedding" (if you subscribe to the Underground Scraps newsletter you were able to get the freebie add-on 2 weeks ago).

My CT members each had to create a tag using the kit and a tube from the new licensing company "Dreamscape Imaging". I supplied them each with a $2.00 gift certificate (to cover the cost of the tube they wished to use) and the winner is going to receive a $10.00 gift certificate to the same company.

Voting poll is on the right hand side...so please take a moment to look at the 5 tags entered and then vote on your favorite one! Contest ends Monday night at 8pm EST!

2010-04-14T10:01:00.000-04:00

Well...it has definitely been a busy week!

My daughter, Tiffany, just moved back home with her 3 week old baby (Makenzie)...she finally wizened up and left the scum she was with!

So we've been uber busy converting my hubby's work room into a bedroom for her and the baby...definitely not a pleasant or fun experience lol!

Almost finished though. We are going to look at beds and cribs later today (she doesn't have them because he won't let her take them out of the apartment...no big deal...that's what Mommy is for hehehe).

She went back to work this week also, which means I am now watching Kyrie and Makenzie...so leaves me with very little spare time.

I am working on a few kits though...I wanted to have them done by now, but getting Tiffany and the baby settled has been first on my list!

Sorry about that!

Keep your eyes peeled for the 4 newest kits I have coming out (2 have exclusive MediEvil posers, one will be exclusive to Aussie Scraps store, and the other is a goth kit)...plus a CU goth package (my very first one lol...I've been working hard on this one...and I'm hoping some of you like it!).

I'll going to try and get a couple of new freebies done also, since it's been a while since I've posted one. I have some wonderful new posers and can't wait to get them into some kits for all of you!

Thank you all for being so patient with me!

~~Sorry for the MIA~~

2010-04-02T07:42:00.001-04:00

Sorry I haven't been around this past week or so.

I've had a nasty cold that turned into upper respiratory infection and haven't been able to sit online for too long.

My hot water heater was also giving me some trouble last weekend, so my oldest son (Ron) and my wonderful son-in-law (Blaise) came over to fix it. Took most of last weekend, but it's working great now.

I've got a ton of stuff to add to the blog (new blinkies, tutorials, sales, etc.) plus I'm working on 4 new kits (one will be exclusive to one of the stores and 2 have exclusive new posers from MediEvil that you won't be able to find anywhere else). I'm also working on a couple of commercial use items that will be available on Monday (in at least one of the stores lol), and then available in all stores on Tuesday!

I'll be working on adding all this today as I find time (have to take care of Kyrie until Ron gets home from work) and get some housecleaning done (my poor house has been so neglected lately with me being sick).

Until later...

Huggles!

WooHoo!!!

I am selling at Aussie Scrap Designs.

Gail (the store owner) finally talked me into it lol!

Actually, I was a little scared that she might start sending head hunters after me if I didn't join!

If you haven't been there yet, you really need to go check out this store...

There are so many amazing top designers there...

So I'm a little nervous hehehe!

Stina, Soxsational Scraps, Scrapping Mar, rose.li, Aussie Scraps herself, Puddicat Creations...

the list goes on and on!

I could spend the whole post just listing these fabulous designers!

But I think I'll let you go check them out for yourself!

I've added the store blinkie to the right, and will be adding my kits as soon as I get hubby out the door...

He's leaving for a few weeks (work related).

While I'm going to miss him, it definitely gives me a lot more time to work on kits lol!

I usually suffer really bad bouts of insomnia when he's gone, but I plan on taking full advantage of it!

So look for a lot more to come in the next couple of weeks!

WOW! My very first award!!!

Ron Won Custody of Kyrie!!!

2010-03-16T13:33:00.000-04:00

Ron just got home from court a little while ago...

He was awarded primary, legal custody of Kyrie!

I am so happy right now!

Kyrie's mother never even bothered to show up for court today...

Not that Ron or I care...because it was just easier for him to win that way!

But it's a real shame when a child's mother cares so little that she couldn't even be bothered to attend the custody trial.

Here's a pic of my son and his adorable daughter...

Thank you to everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers!

~~New PTU kit in Stores...Gothic Easter!~~

Kit contains: 92 elements, 33 frames, 100 papers, 6 posers.
It can be found in all my stores and best of all...it's 50% off until the 16th!

~~You Have To Check Out This Store!!!~~

2010-03-05T03:10:00.003-05:00

Now, I don't normally go on here and blog about the digital scrapbooking stores I shop in right?
But I have to tell you about the experience I had at Glam n Glitter Designs today.
I wanted to purchase a few products there (both ptu and freebies),
but for some reason, my shopping cart wouldn't go through.
So I used the little "Contact Us" button they have there (most stores do lol) and before I know it...
Mo emailed me to try and help fix the problem.
This is the first time I have ever had contact with Mo...in fact, it's the first time I've ever shopped at the store even.
Well...let me tell you...Mo worked all day and half the night (it's now 3:13am EST where I'm at and I had left the original message about the problem at about 5:30am EST).
She was RELENTLESS!!! LOL!
She would not give up until this problem was solved!
Not only did she get my shopping cart to work, but she gave me a discount on a future purchase (which I chose not to use on this order lol...saving it for the very near future).
Mo has definitely made me a Glam n Glitter fan!!!
And she so deserves a raise lol!

So...if you are looking for a store that treats it's customers with respect and the utmost gratitude, check out Glam n Glitter Designs!
And while you're there...have a look at the freebie section...awesome!
I also discovered Adriana Ferrari's photoshop actions while shopping and I'm addicted!
They are amazing! Definitely worth the price (and hey...she's having a sale on them right now...so it's even better)!

So you know...I do not sell at this store...but I just had to tell you the incredible experience that I had there today!
Huggles!

~~My Crazy Life~~

2010-03-03T07:38:00.003-05:00

So much going on the last few days...
My daughter, Tiffany (19), is due any day now.
She went to the hospital last night with contractions.
She's 1cm dilated and resting at home right now!
We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Makenzie Savannah (yes, it's spelled right lol).

Over the weekend I re-connected with some long lost friends (haven't spoken with any of them in like 14 or 15 years now, we just lost touch over the years).
But it's great...love you Robin, Ray, Justin, Joshua, Matt, and Suzanne!!!!
It's wonderful how friends from the past come into your life again when you really need that extra lift in spirit.
I haven't stopped smiling since Friday lol! So the Goddess must truly be looking out for me!

Working on a new ptu kit which will hopefully be done in a couple more days!
And also looking forward to going to the movies on Saturday...
My son, Ron (21), is taking me to see the new Alice in Wonderland!
Oh yeah....Johnny Depp looks good no matter what he wears lol!
Loved him as Willy Wonka!

Kyrie is turning 3 on March 15 (hence the 50% off in all my stores). Her custody trial is on the 16 and Ron, myself, and the rest of the family are hoping things go smoothly. No word from Kyrie's mother since December 5th!

BTW...wanted to let everyone know that I'm not only on msn messenger now, but you can also catch me on facebook chat and aim (wow...a month ago I refused to get any of them lol...now I'm addicted).

If you want to add me here's the info:

How is this for a Deal?

2010-02-28T19:28:00.004-05:00

I don't normally plug other blogs/sites/stores, other than adding blinkies...but this is such a deal I had to tell you about it!
I'm sure many of you know of it, but in case you don't, read on...lol...
This morning over the course of my journeys in cyberspace I came across a wonderful little blog called Alo Dezigns.
(you will notice I added their blinkie to my favorites lol)
Well, I decided to go from there to the store...
and what a deal I found!
First, there are over 475 PSP scripts in this store.
Over 50 of them are freebie scripts too.
There are a few CU ones, but many are for PU only.
Well, they have a CU license (which you can see I purchased..just look to the right lol), which turns their PU freebies into CU freebies for those of us who create kits.
This CU license is only $10!!!!
Can you believe it?
Considering the price of most CU scripts is $2.50 and higher, this is an incredible deal!
On top of that (yes...there is more lol), if you purchase $10 or more in the store you also receive a $2 gift certificate!
You can't go wrong with this deal either!
Think of all the money you are saving simply by spending the original $10 to get the license!
Well...needless to say I jumped on this deal lol!
And I was so excited about it, I just had to write about it here!
I love this store and will definitely be visiting often!
For now...

New PTU Kit...Jin's Den!

2010-02-25T09:59:00.004-05:00

Just uploaded to stores (see links to the right)...
Jin's Den is a romantic, antique, vintage tagger size scrap kit with just a slight touch of goth mixed in.
The name comes from Jin's Den...
A wonderful little blog I found in my travels a couple of months ago.
If you haven't visited yet, I strongly suggest it.
Jennifer has some lovely vintage items you can use in your freebie kits, or for tags.
Be sure to leave her some love in her c-box!

New in Stores Tonight!

2010-02-18T23:03:00.003-05:00

Here is my newest kit going up in stores tonight!
It's a little goth, a little grunge, and even a few hearts thrown in for good measure...
This Scarlet is anything but a nice Southern lady!
I wanted to have it done for Valentine's Day, but a 4 day migraine kept me in bed most of that time and I didn't have a chance to finish it!
So I switched a few elements around and now it's good for anytime!
LOL!
Hope you like it!
Available in all 3 of my stores (which are listed on the right).

It's taken a while, but it's well worth it...

Freebie Add-on

Here are the links for the freebie add-on...It's uploaded to 4shared and rapidshare so you can choose which download you prefer. I didn't include a poser in this one, because I couldn't find one I really liked for it. But everything in it is different from the ptu version, although they all go very nicely together.

Kyrie is coming home!!!

2009-11-23T21:37:00.002-05:00

I just found out from my son, Ron, that he has a ride to New Hampshire on December 5 to get Kyrie!!! And the people taking him are his girlfriend's parents...Thank you so much Dennis and Jackie!!!! December 4 is my birthday, so this will be an awesome birthday present for me! Those prayers really paid off this time folks! Blessings and Big Hugs to everyone who has been such a help as far as getting me through this! Court is still on December 23, so let's keep our fingers crossed for that one!

2009-11-23T19:07:00.002-05:00

WooHoo!

My son and I FINALLY got to talk to Kyrie today!

Her mother finally gave Ron (my son) the phone number we could reach her at.

It's been a month since I was able to talk to my "little monkey princess", but it felt so good. When she said "love you Nana" I got all teary-eyed!

We also have the address now, but apparently Kyrie's mother (Karen) and her mother (Nancy) sold their truck!!! According to the court papers, it is their responsibility to not only pick Kyrie up, but to also bring her home. We are in Pennsylvania, they are in New Hampshire. My son filed the custody papers over a year ago, here in Pennsylvania. They know we don't have a car, and even if we did, we don't have licenses, so we couldn't drive up there anyway. My son is now trying to find a ride to go get our little precious this weekend.

He is also going to bring a copy of his custody papers with him (just in case), and a copy of the court papers for December 23. He will still have to mail them to her, but he wants to hand deliver one copy also!

At least now I know I can call and talk to Kyrie whenever I want to.

It's been hell the last few weeks not being able to even talk to her.

I can't wait until this all goes to court in December...maybe it will be a good Christmas for us after all!

Thank you to all those who kept my family in your thoughts and prayers and sent such encouraging messages!

I will keep you updated!

People Still Amaze Me!

2009-11-23T13:14:00.004-05:00

I just felt I had to write about this...because I am still in awe!

Here I am ranting and raving about Kyrie not being home yet...

tomorrow will be exactly one month past the time she was due home!

I live in a small, rural town...I understand that...but I have a few "friends"...let's call them for now. They all know the situation right now, but not one of them has offered to help in any way (a drive up to go get Kyrie, trying to contact the newspapers, nothing...my son, hubby, and I don't drive).

So there I am this morning...and a friend from one of my yahoo groups writes me a private email. Now, I have never met this person, I don't know her outside of the one or two yahoo groups we are in together, and in fact, have only known her through them for a few short weeks. But she VOLUNTEERED to go to NH (she only lives 45 minutes from the state line) to see if she could help in any way (contact the newspapers there, maybe geton the police there a little bit, anything). I am still amazed over it! Here...people I have known for years,invited into my home,and called "friend" haven't even bothered to call to see how it's going,let alone anything else.Yet a lovely person, a virtual stranger, someone whom I don't even know what they look like...Has offered to help any way she can! I was in tears after reading her email to me this morning! I couldn't believe the generosity, compassion, and understanding she has!

She is truly a "friend".

And it has taught me a very valuable lesson...which maybe I should have learned long before this....that "friends" aren't the people you see every day who toss the word around freely and themselves "your friend". They are the people in your life who truly care about you and your family. What hurts you, hurts them. What makes you cry, makes them cry.

What gives you joy, gives them joy!

Friends, whether near or far, aren't just "friends"...

They are part of your family!

Everyone else is just an "acquaintance".

I can't tell you who the person is...she wrote me privately so I don't feel comfortable telling anyone her name. But she knows who she is!

Big Hugs and Love to you "Friend"!!!

The Pagan Way PTU and Freebie Add-on!!!!

2009-11-18T19:44:00.013-05:00

Finally...it's here...my very first PTU kit...The Pagan Way!

It consists of:
110 elements, 20 frames, 60 papers, 4 posers. Drop shadows are on the preview only!

Now, before I continue, I have to say a big huge THANK YOU to Sarah, Omneya, Beth, Lisa, Peggy, Savage, and Joy! You ladies are AWESOME! And they were my greatest help in getting this done.

Now for the freebie add-on...

I realized that our darling little witches had no where to sit...so I added a Witches' Cabinet to the add-on. Nothing in the add-on is included in the PTU kit so be sure to click the link below to get it!

It consists of: 37 elements, 11 frames, 20 papers, 2 posers and 3 cluster frames. Yeah...I added the cluster frames to the kit instead of offering them as a separate download...I didn't want to waste everybody's time going here and there to get everything. Also...the cluster frames were created using mostly elements from the PTU kit! I also uploaded it to 4shared and rapidshare so you can choose which download you want!

So...without any further ado or mindless rambling on my part, here are the links...

SORRY LINKS EXPIRED!

You can get the freebie add-on at Aussie Scraps Store for a limited time only!

Enjoy!!!! Big Hugs and Blessings!

New Blog Layout!

2009-11-17T21:28:00.004-05:00

Ok...I was bored and decided to try and create my own blog layout! Here it is!

I even did the header myself...LOL! And before there are any questions...the poem in the borders is called "Behold the Witch". Here it is...

Behold the Witch
Behold the Witch, strong as any man.Know the Witch, as she walks upon the land.Respect the Witch, her powers to beguile.Admire the Witch, her understanding smile.Honour the Witch, as pure as mother's love.Applaud the Witch, as destiny she moves.Acclaim the Witch, her patience over time.Regard the Witch, her inspiration deep.Commend the Witch, her family she keeps.Approve the Witch, as standards she upholds.Revere the Witch, her faith and will, extol.Appreciate the Witch, as nature she raises.Venerate the Witch, for she keeps the ancient lores.Become the Witch, and these values will be yours.

~Melissa Hunt~

This is one of my favorite poems and I just had to use it here.

Huggers and Blessings!

2009-11-17T17:12:00.008-05:00

Ok...I've FINALLY found the much needed time to work on my very first scrap kit! I'll be previewing it in the next day or so, but I'll be uploading the freebie tomorrow. It's called "The Pagan Way". Hope you like it!

Now...real life SUCKS!!!! My little grand-daughter, Kyrie, who is 2 1/2, went to visit her mother back in September. She was SUPPOSED to be home on October 24 (the mother lives in New Hampshire and she and my son are on a rotating 6 week schedule until custody is decided...we live in Pennsylvania). Karen, the mother, still hasn't brought Kyrie home, won't answer my son's MySpace messages to her, and hasn't even given him her new address or phone number! So...my son, Ron, had to go file a "Contempt of Custody" paper against her and...now wait until you hear this one...the lovely courts of Pennsylvania can hear the case on December 23!!!! Do you believe this??? Our local police officers have already told us there is nothing they can do, because it's a "domestic" thing. And the police in New Hampshire told me the same thing!

It's no wonder so many children go missing every day! Because the lovely authorities who are supposed to be enforcing the protection of our children just sit back and do nothing! The only police officer who has EVER tried to help us in all this (Thank you Officer Hunsicker) pretty much has his hands tied also because of the way the laws are!!! I have even go so far as to call our local representative's office, Richard Grucela, and was told there was really nothing anyone could do (although I would like to thank his wonderful secretary who couldn't have been more compassionate and understanding...I think she was even crying with me on the phone). If anyone out there can possibly think of anything else we can do to get our lovely baby back with us, please let me know! My personal email is gothicwitch2007@gmail.com! Here's a picture of our lovely Kyrie....

She was at a birthday party and thought she was a ninja princess...lol!

Ok...on to some better news...Here's some pics of my other wonderful grandchildren....

This is my lovely Princess Jocelynne (as she prefers to be called). The Princess just turned 4 on November 9.

And here is my oldest one...5 year old Blaze....

And last but not least...the adorable Dominic...he is going to be 2 on Thursday!

And here are a couple of Halloween pictures....the first one is my beautiful daughter, Randi, and I (I'm the old hag on the right lol). The second one is Blaze, Jocie, Dominic and I sitting on the front porch waiting for the little trick or treaters!

Ok...I think I'm done ranting and rambling now...off to finish working on my first ever scrap kit!

I would like to take this chance to thank the lovely Sarah for being my "tester"!

I picked Sarah because I have known her for so long I know she will be perfectly honest with me! Love ya Hon!

Everyone have a great day/night (depending on where you are).

Blessings and Hugs!

2009-09-18T10:15:00.004-04:00

You've just gotta love grandkids! 3 days ago, one of them (I have 4) did something to my pc and crashed it! I had to reformat it and lost so much stuff!
I've gotten most of it back, but I'm still missing all my PSP plugins! Boo hoo!
Oh well...such is life! LOL!
Needless to say, I haven't been able to create anything due (AGAIN!), but since I'm off the weekend and most of next week, I am hoping to get a lot done! (and I don't mean housework and laundry...lol)!
Have a great weekend! Huggers and Blessings!

Blinkie Exchange?

2009-09-08T13:36:00.003-04:00

I have a quick moment to post here...lol!
Thinking of doing a blinkie exchange! If you don't see your blinkie in my links to the right, but you would like to see it here, then send me your url and blinkie here! Of course, I don't have a blinkie yet (lol), but I am going to work on one when I have a spare moment!
Huggers,
Brianna

2009-09-08T06:45:00.003-04:00

Going to be busy babysitting my 4 grandbabies the next couple of days! But I did find some time to add a slide show of some of the tags I created (it's at the bottom of the page). If you like them and want to join my always list, then go here! Most of you know me by Brianna, but decided to use my "Gothic Witch" name for the blog! LOL!

Anyway, better go get ready to make the walk up to my daughter Randi's. She is working this week and next to help out her old boss. Then it will be back to the daily grind, lol! Until then, "Nana" gets to have fun and play with the kiddies!

Have a great one!

Almost back to normal! LOL!

2009-03-19T06:13:00.003-04:00

Well...my daughter is home (she came home Friday) but she is still a little sore from surgery. Other than that she is doing great! Although she is a little upset that she can't go back to work for at least 2 weeks (she has to wait for the doctor to clear her for work).
For those who don't know me real well, I have 4 children (Randi...age 21, Ron...age 20, Tiffany...age 18, and William...age 14), 4 grandchildren (Blaze...age 5, Jocelynne...age 3, and Dominic...age 1 1/2...all by Randi; and Kyrie...age 2 by Ron). My son Ron is trying to get custody of Kyrie (which has been a long ongoing process). Anyway, I take care of Kyrie while Ron works. In the custody issue, the judge decided to give each parent 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off as far as visitation (this is only temporary until they decide which parent will have permanent custody). Kyrie goes back to her mother's next Thursday (March 26) and comes back to us on May 7. It's very upsetting for all of us during the 6 weeks that Kyrie isn't here (we live in Pennsylvania and her mother lives in New Hampshire), but it also allows me more time to get things done that I normally don't have!
So be expecting some new Incredimail stats, tags, and a few tagger scrap kits to be coming out soon! I have to keep busy so the time will go by quicker!
Ron is off today, so since I don't have Kyrie (Ron has his own apartment) I am going to start my Spring Cleaning!!!! My family is not looking forward to this...LOL! I am such a fanatic with it, that I even take down all of my knick nacks and wash each one by hand! Hubby already bought some paint, so he can start painting the trim and rooms while Kyrie is away! It's amazing what a new coat of paint can do for a room! LOL!
Well...better go get started! Laundry also awaits!
Have a glorious, wonderful, and happy day!
Blessings and Hugs,
Brianna

Just a quick note!

2009-03-12T07:27:00.003-04:00

Well...life is never dull and boring! That is for sure!
My 18 year old daughter, Tiffany, went to the emergency room yesterday with severe pains in her side. Next thing I know they are sending her into the operating room for an appendectomy! Poor girl...she hasn't had to visit the hospital for an overnight stay since she was 2 months old and she was pretty scared! But her boyfriend and I went to the hospital and cheered her up...LOL!
Surgery went fine with no complications, and she was expected to sleep through the night. So I have to go back to the hospital first thing this morning and see my little "Noodlehead" and get papers from the doctor for her job. She won't be able to work for about 3 weeks (and her manager isn't the most understanding person in the world if you get my meaning). So I will have to go deal with that woman also! But they expect to send Tiffany home tomorrow, so that is a good thing!
Here I thought I would have the whole day today to work on my first scrap kit and now I have to put it on hold again...lol! Well, there is always the weekend! Hopefully!
Blessings and Hugs!

My Very First Post

2009-03-10T17:15:00.002-04:00

Ok...here is my very first post...lol!
I'll be working on creating some scrap kits soon!
I've been real busy purchasing all kinds of wonderful Commercial Use items and can't wait to start creating with them!
I'll also be adding some blinkie links to my favorite scrap designers and stores over the next few days!
I've only got 2 people so far willing to do tutorials using the scraps, but since I'm just getting started I figure that is more than enough...LOL!
And I finally found an image hosting site that would show this blog layout in it's full size (image shack). I tried Photobucket and a couple of others, but they kept resizing it on me and I wasn't happy with that. But it looks like image shack is going to work out fine for me! Hehehe!
Oh, before I forget...I have both rapidshare and 4shared accounts, so I'll be uploading the kits to both of them. That way you can download from whichever one you want. And the kits are zipped in win rar, so you will need the win rar program to unzip them!
I'll be offering mostly Gothic and Pagan kits, sold right here on my blog through PayPal. Since this eliminates the overhead of selling in a store, I figure I can sell them a lot cheaper and offer sales and stuff whenever I want! Of course there will also be tons of freebies available for you too!
Well...that's about it for now! I will hopefully have something new up on Thursday!
Blessings and Hugs,
Brianna
