Double Template #63 Freebie

Evening Folks!
Well our March started out like a lamb and is also going out like a lamb! We hit 70 yesterday and a little bit more then that today. The last of my snow piles finally disappeared today!

It was a very pleasant and productive day today. It started out with the usually running kids around to there respective schools and then I got to sit down and chat with Michele in Messenger while we had our morning coffee. We also managed to get some work done on an up coming kit!
After we parted ways I headed outside to start on some yard work and escape the phone. It has been ringing off the hook this week! To much work and not enough time! I have my hands full this spring even with out the tax stuff. Although I'm still going over grandpa's and my dads tax's with them. Been getting a lot of calls for large jobs that I just don't have the capability to do so I made a deal with a guy who lives about a half mile a way and does his own landscaping and lawn care that I refer the big jobs to him (he has the equipment) and he refers the smaller jobs to me. I also have 3 landscapes I need to design for clients and my own yard work and home repairs to get taken care of.

On top of that I need to keep chugging away on the Fan Kits, Private Request Kits, Weekly Template freebies and I'll be moving to the new site some time before the end of April!

Weather wise I hope it does not get any warmer then it is for a while. We need spring to stick around for awhile and not be rushing into the heat of summer.

Speaking of warm weather please keep my neighbors son in your prayers tonight. He was in an accident while out riding his bicycle this afternoon a short distance from his collage campus. I was there when his mother got the call and after seeing the look on her face at that moment I hope that no one has to receive that kind of call ever. All that was said was " Your son/daughter has been in an accident you need to come to the ER at ______ Hospital." That will send anyone into a tailspin. Thankfully he will be alright. Pretty bruised and battered but nothing serious thankfully.
My family mechanic, that had the motorcycle accident last spring (April), will never be the same again. Some days he knows you and some days he don't. To put it very bluntly, he can not tell the difference between a bottle of bleach and his favorite soda. It's a very sad situation for him and his family.

You know what I just realized? This is the first time I have sat down since my coffee chat this morning. We even had sandwiches on the run for dinner tonight! Jimmy John's I absolutely love them! The #14 Bootlegger Club is my Favorite.

Anyway if I don't say as much as boo in the next few weeks, Please just know that I am very busy and most likely to tired to chat it up. I'm gonna head in to take a shower then it's off to bed. Going to be a busy rest of the week. The kids are on spring break and since the boy got in trouble over his report card he is helping me during the break!

Y-Ball Fan Kit Freebie

Good afternoon everyone!
Wow has the weekend flown by!
I did manage to do another layout this morning using Fridays Freebie Double Template # 62 but in order to do it I had to make another Fan Kit! This one is a very basic black and white kit for my sons Y-Ball League. Every team had black and white reversible jerseys this year so home was black and the visitor was white. We don't have home locations, the teams just travel around to the local elementary school gyms for the games and practices.

I left out the "Bulldog" items but there are some "Plates" with things like; Score, Team Work etc. on them. (The basketball is not included.) It's a stripped down black and white only Kit that should work for any team that has black and white for colors, or blend it in with your favorite Fan Kit for extra options! Three items do say "Y-Ball" on them. You can see one of them in the preview below.

Project 365 Week 11 ~ 2010 Freebie

Morning Everyone!
Yes I know I should have had this posted last night but the mood I was in I figured it was best left till I was in a better mood. If I would have posted last night it would have been a lot of griping and blowing off steam. So far I have kept myself in check but I know it's coming and I fell sorry for the one that pushes me over the edge.

It's been raining all week here, and yesterday morning it switched over to snow and snowed so hard I could not see the neighbors red car across the street! Thankfully that didn't last long and we are back to rain again for the weekend. All the rain has been helping to melt the snow off, but I still have a snow pile over 6 feet tall in my yard! The snow was so deep it blocked my living room windows most of the winter but now I can see out again!

Wednesday I picked up my boyfriends uncle from the airport after I dropped the little one off for school, I'm so happy to have my driveway back! I had his SUV parked here to save on the fees at the airport while he was away. I also got my hair cut on Wednesday. The oldest did not recognize me when I went to pick her up! I have not had bangs since Jr. High and I had 10 inches cut off all the rest! It's short! Well not short, it still comes past my shoulders but it's short to me!

Thursday I spent helping Grandpa install a new sump pump. Of course it was not the same style as the old one so we had to redo some of the outward piping for it. But it's fully functional and will keep his basement dry during all this melting.

The boy also had another playoff game last night. They played the only undefeated team in there age bracket. They got stomped on as if they were standing still. 39-4 The boy missed both his free throws and the only other time he had the ball he threw some odd granny shot and completely missed. The coach handed out awards after the game and congratulated them on there hard work this season. The boy received the award for "Best Team Player".

This morning has already been a busy one. After dropping the oldest off I had to run the youngest to the Lab at the hospital for a Blood Lead test. Something new our school district is requiring. She did so good! No tears till it was over with. The blood vial looked awful big next to her tiny little arm. After that it was off to the grocery store and then Mc Donald's for a breakfast sandwich for the little one.

Well folks it's now time to head off to the kitchen and get started on the dishes, with the game last night we just ate and ran out the door! So I will leave off here with your

Ravens Fans....Help Please

Ok I know this is going to sound dumb..... Just remember I'm not a football follower..
Exactly what color is the Ravens? The blue/purple is what I'm referring to. On the Ravens web site half the stuff looks purple and the other half looks blue but the website is done in purples...
I'm leaning towards the purples...

Sorry I'm clueless on this one. But I want to make sure it is right.

Until next time...

Click here to see all the AVAILABLE FAN KITS previews (in a slide show) and the download link. The "to do" list that I refer to from time to time is also on the same post as the previews just scroll down. It's a hefty list at the time being. Not every Fan Kit that I have done is listed. The "to do list" only has the ones since this past October listed. BUT there is a ton more kits! Please check the download link, you will find 4 pages of downloads to sort through to find your team(s).

As a heads up, the order that the "to do" list is in does not necessarily mean that the kits will become available in that order. At any given time I am working on 3-4 kits. I jump from kit to kit when I get feed up with a color and come back to it later.

Also tonight I hate to say it but I need to put the brakes on the Private Request Kits already for the month. In 4 days I have received 5 requests already! I would like to pace myself at one private kit a week so that I have some time to work on templates and Non Fan Kits. Besides the mini breaks keep me sane when I do so many of the same theme.

Alright enough chitter chatter.....

Thank you for all your wonderful comments!

Until next time...

Good Greif!

Ha! The Google people finally took the add block out of here but what do they leave behind..... A nasty blank block of space that I can not edit or get rid of so that the post layout properly. If it ain't one thing it's another, big dogs trying to push the little guy around. I guess you could say Google is now acting like Walmart. If the little guy don't comply to the big dog, then the big dog will do what ever it takes to ruin you or run you out of town.
I would much rather deal with a Mom and Pop business then a large company. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I still believe in a handshake and your word to seal a deal, to me that's just as good as any contract. Your word is your honor and it's all you have in this life, everything else is just material things.

As to Google and the AdSense program.... If you could have been friendly and HELPFUL in your communications instead of demanding and threatening, I would not have this opinion of the company.

Until next time...

Don't Bother.....and other news

Don't bother clicking an add unless you want to pay Google with your clicks. Google AdSense is refusing to allow me to remove the adds from the blog although Google has disabled them and I no longer receive anything for having them on the blog. I have gone round and round with Google AdSense on this one and they can't give me an appropriate answer. I used to think Google was a decent company but I am defiantly having my doubts about any product or service they provide. If this does not resolve itself soon, I will no longer be using ANY Google product or service. What I have learned in the last week and a half is that Google is turning into a bully and trying to work with them is a waste of time. The Customer Service sucks and the Help Center is a complete joke in and of itself.

The blog will also be moving in the near future so be on the look out for that news!

I will be moving off the blog sites and into a regular website. This should help with organization and I'll be hosting my own downloads!

~

I hope your week has been better then mine! I messed up with the Basketball schedule and we had another game Tuesday night. A make up game from earlier in the season. Then starting this Monday we have tournaments! Single elimination so I don't know how long we will be in it. We only won 3 games this year. But then again, last year we never won a game until playoffs and then we won the whole shebang!

~

Music wise, the oldest had a contest this past Tuesday and on the 23 she is participating in an all city music competition. Come April all three kids will be having music performances just about every week!

Well I think that's about it for now, I wanted to warn you guys about the pointless adds and let you know that another Fan Kit will either be up late today or right away in the morning.

Until next time...

Template #235 Freebie

Welcome to March! Hows the weather in your neck of the woods? March is definitely coming in like a lamb for us! We still have multiple feet of snow on the ground but it has managed to make it all the way to 32 degrees everyday since Saturday and the next ten days all look to be the same! The ice chunk at the foot of the drive way is almost gone and I just might have a completely dry driveway again in the near future.

A couple of weeks ago we took the little one to her first movie at the theater. She had a blast watching Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakquel on the big screen!

Tonight was the final basketball game of the season. The boy has decided he does not want to play again next year. He wants to try something new.

Well that's the news in a nut shell!

Tonight we have our final layouts of February to share. I will be sending out all the February gifts on Tuesday. Thank you to everyone who has sent in layouts and supported the blog in other ways :)
