Some "Tempting" Pics

I wanted to share a few of the photos that I took of the Temptations. They put on a terrific show, and sang for 2 hours with no break! I had left my camera at Matt's house, so I used Mom's to take these, hence the woppy date on every one. The concert was October 25, 2008. We had a wonderful time singing along with all the oldies, and I got to shake hands with every member.

Wyatt & Shawna

Today's LO was created mainly from my October Color kit. The branches are from the fabulous Ms. Kim Broedelet http://kimbsdesigns.blogspot.com/ (who is once again 21 this week! LOL!!!).
Wyatt and Shawna participated in the "Mom & Me" Cub Scout camp-out last month. Wyatt was so excited! Password is: scout They both had a great time, and of course Shawna shared her photos with me.

What a sad, sad day...

What a sad, sad day this is...I am appalled that so many Americans were hoodwinked by the hollow promises of a silver tongued politician. At least the Great State of Texas was not a party to this abomination. As soon as the florist shop opens I believe I will order a big funeral wreath to hang on the door.

A Little Bit of Festivity

Sorry to be so late with this post, but I have to wait until the other Vicki posts before I do.

Today the release of Vicki's http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ newest kit "Festivity" begins! This is a collab kit with Linda Walton http://bonscrapatitdesigns.blogspot.com/ I only had Vicki's part to work with, but I know that Linda's will be wonderful, too!

You are probably as shocked looking at this page as I was! LOL! This is quite a departure from my usual "junk it up" style, I'm not sure how it happened, but I actually left some white space!

Lilly was hamming it up, as usual, all decked out in her chef outfit. Password is: sweet

I took it easy this weekend, just hanging out at the deer lease with Mom and Dad. We had a really great visit, and yesterday Daddy and I went riding on the four-wheeler all over the place.

Be on the look-out for Halloween pictures of Wyatt and Lilly this week (Tinkerbell meets Star Wars!) and I will also post some pics of The Temptations!

Comments

The new format of 4-shared sucks. To leave a comment, you have to scroll down. Please do so, or leave it here on the blog. (I really like that, then I know when you leave one). Since this is the only form of compensation that I receive, I do tend to look forward to the ego boost that your kind words provide. I really wish someone would fill me in on why if a file that you are downloading is more than a day or two old that you don't feel the need to acknowledge the fact that you have received a gift. This is the reason that download links will be expiring on my blog. I don't care if the file is two minutes or two years old, people should have the courtesy to say thank you, not just to me, but from any designer that you download from! A few words go a long way towards making a designer's day!

Just a Little Update

Busy, busy, busy!!! It's getting down to crunch time on the third quarter, so things are a little hairy around here. I have a couple of things in the works, and I just got KimB's big 'ole fabulous commercial grab bag today, and new actions from Atomic Cupcake, so I will have plenty of stuff to keep me busy. For the immediate future, everything about my blog will stay the same. The ids are still leaving anonymous comments on 4shared, but now they are using different names and being really sappy and snarky. For the time being, I am doing as so many suggested and just deleting them and going on. I think that we will just try to get over this nasty little event and go on about our business. Maybe the idiots will just get tired and go away. I can only hope. LOL!!! The enrolling on Google won't work because it is limited to 100 readers and I won't leave any of my sweet regular readers with their nose pressed up against the glass! I really don't want to go the subscription route, because that would mean more work for me, and I have also decided that I shouldn't let a few incredibly stupid people dictate the way I manage my blog. Just to make it clear, if I do decide to go subscription, there will be no charge, I never intended to make money from this, I don't need it, and that would make it seem too much like a job! I already have a job that I can barely keep up with! I have compiled a list of everyone that would subscribe if it comes down to that, and I will post an official notice if I do decide to go in that direction. Ya'll have a good night.
Hugs,
Vicki

October QP

Today for your scrapping pleasure I have a page I created with the October Color kit. The only thing that is not included in the kit is the chicky charm (and wide eyed Lilly, of course!) Ya'll should know me by now, I always end up with stuff after the fact! I made the charm using a really cool new action from Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ She has a lot of terrific stuff on her blog, pop on over a take a look around. Be sure to tell her I sent 'ya, and leave some love if you download. Password is: chick I have scrapped this photo before, but I just couldn't resist using it again. The wide eyed look of innocence on Lilly's face combined with the incriminating cake crumbs just cracks me up everytime I see it.

Putting on the Glitz

Well, The Temptations were FABULOUS!!! I was right in front of the stage and got to shake hands with every member! How cool is that?!?!?! Needless to say, I was very hoarse yesterday from all of the singing and woo-hooing! LOL!!! I did take pictures, but they are on Mom's camera and I didn't have my laptop with me, so it will probably be next week before I can post some.

Now for Vicki's http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ new kit, "Putting on the Glitz". This is a collab kit with fellow CT members Mel and Charlie. Visit each one's blog everyday this week to collect the whole thing. Be sure to leave them some love! Password is: fun 4shared has been a real booger this morning, but I finally got it uploaded! Enjoy!

Remember?

TGIF!!!

I am so glad that Friday is finally here! I am going to try to get out of here early for a change, so I can go home and pack my bag. I am taking my Mom to go see the Temptations this weekend! My tickets are supposed to be somewhere in the first three rows, so it should be awesome! Yep, you can bet that I will be singing "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" and "My Girl" at the top of my lungs!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! See ya'll Monday.
Hugs,
Vicki

Vicki, you say you place a great value on manners, but your negative attitude & nasty mouth says otherwise. Never have I visited such an unfriendly blog as yours! It doesn't sound like your having fun at all, now does it? There are a lot more appreciative designers out there. Guess what...it's not all about you!! Shame on you!!!

To: lulabell&wafers
I only get a bad attitude when people such as you post crap like this. If you think I have a nasty mouth, you must have been raised in a convent. I don't recall inviting you to my blog, and if you perceive it as unfriendly, maybe you won't be back. I can't understand what a designer would have to appreciate from ungrateful grab and run people such as you. I have plenty of fun till I have to put up with such self-important, everyone owes me something idiots such as you. And yes, it IS all about me. This is MY blog and these are MY designs. And one last thing, YOU are the one that should be ashamed. You downloaded my stuff , insulted me, and still didn't say thank you.

What is this? Bash Vicki week? I haven't had such a problem with this crap till some people started posting my blog on "freebie" sites without my permission. We had our own little special group of regulars here and that is exactly how I like it. I don't want my blog to be one that gets thousands of hits. My blog is NOT a freebie site. It is my little place on the web to say what I want about whatever subject I choose, and to share some of my creations with friends.

If I go to subscription on Blogger, it is limited to 100 readers, and you must have a Google identity. Another option is to have a monthly password for the readers that ask to be a part of my group, kind of like JanniDee, but I won't charge a fee.

I will ponder this, and my friends are welcome to let me know what they would prefer.
Don't PANIC! None of ya'll regulars are gonna miss anything! I so look forward to what you have to say everyday, and I do appreciate each and every one of you. This is just to stop the anonymous BS from the grab & runs.
