What the heck happened to FREEBIE FRIDAY?
Posted on August 23, 2008 at 1:13 a.m.
Well ladies I'll tell you what happened...
Our web-dude Neum Schmickwrath (yes that is his real name) decided that he would "update" our site... you know that maintenance that should take place at 3:00 AM when everyone is sawing logs (except the UK and Australia)
So to make a long story short... he experienced some "technical difficulties" and yes, I called him numerous times, always explaining that "IT IS FREEBIE FRIDAY!!!"
So now everything is back to working and he has given me his word that he will NEVER "update" on a Friday again (I threatened him within an inch of his life)
SO HERE IS SUPER SATURDAY AND SUNDAY!
We are giving away Renee Pearson's Book called Digital Designs for Scrapbooking to one lucky winner! I just love, love, love this book and I love Renee!
You have all of today and tomorrow to leave a comment and we will draw on Sunday evening and post the winner.My most humble apologies for the Friday updating mishap. Good Luck!

I posted an entry last night and it ate it! I have both of Renee's books and she is just super. I took an online Adobe seminar from her that was just fantastic. Congrats to the winner in advance-you will love this book. Tim-tams are coming next week for my birthday!!
