Frosty, 3AM Featured, & SEVERAL Free graphics...

Frosty has landed!! He arrived at his first destination Wednesday afternoon and I can't wait to see what he's been up to!!  Someone recently told me that what I am doing is a bit like Flat Stanley. I hate to admit this, but I did not know what Flat Stanley was. Sure, I have heard of the series, and my son actually sent one to his grandparents from his class one year, but I really had no idea what it was.  I looked it up..and sure enough, it is a bit similar...except that frosty is not flat and his name is not Flat Stanley...hahaha... After reading about the Flat Stanley series, I am even more excited to see Frosty's journey unfold!! Flat Stanley even has his own site that includes updates and resources, which is exactly what I was going for!! How funny!!! The site is really cool (much more detailed than Frosty's..but he is new to the travelling scene). http://www.flatstanley.com/ You can click the link above to check it out. I want to figure out how I can get a live map update for Frosty!!   I can't wait to begin to start uploading pictures, resources and stories! I may have to create a website..opposed to a blog...we will see. I am pretty strapped for time, so I am trying to stay focused (fat chance at that..hahaha). Onto some REALLY excited news... I just found out that LAURA CANDLER will be featuring MWA in her newsletter this weekend!!! I feel so honored!!! It all started with a little bit of silliness and some images to go along....get it...my graphics..hahaha... To celebrate this news, I am going to kick off my Bloggiversary early...with a sensational FREEBIE this Saturday when her Newsletter goes out!!!  Please check out and sign up for Laura's newsletter! It is amazing and her site is so professional - it quite frankly puts my "always under construction" blog to shame...hahaha... The newsletter is free and she is brilliantly talented!!! You can see what her newsletter is all about and sign up if you feel that it will benefit you (-; I am jumping up and down like a teenage girl at a Justin Timberlake concert!! Needless to say, I am so happy (-; I can't wait to show you the Freebie I have in store for you!! I will be very busy tomorrow!! http://www.lauracandler.com/signup.php I am working like a an Egyptian slave!! ...Except, I am not working outside... And, I'm not being forced - and I am not building a pyramid...so I guess I will just have to say that I am working more like a nerdy video game developer....staring at a computer screen for HOURS....little to no social life outside of the virtual world, pale skin, and a LOT of caffeine ...YEP...that sounds a little more like my life at this moment...hahaha. I REALLY do not like the taste of coffee (I do love the smell), so I drink Diet Red Bull....and don't even try to convince me of how unhealthy it is...I am aware of that and I still drink it..hahaha Not all day and only one....so I am going to die a slow death...hahaha..Just Kidding! I plan to live until I am bout 120 years old...I am going to be that silvery-haired lady on the news, celebrating my B-day and still not too old to fake a seizure- just to have some firemen around in my last hours...bwahahaha!! I have been working on MANY projects and I thought I would share what I have done so far...I created some of these sets after getting requests - just in case you are wondering why in the world I would make blocks instead of Thanksgiving or Winter graphics..hahaha

You can check out these blocks HERE While finishing up this set, I experimented with a few options and created a cute GOLDEN block....You might be able to use this one for special math activities...I only made one sparkly one because I couldn't decide if I liked it..hahaha You may enjoy this one as a FREEBIE...Please read my TOU before using this image...

The other set I created...now don't make fun of me....I really do not have a thing for these little buggers, but - they did turn out cute...hahaha..more of a Spring theme...HERE YOU GO...

I had a few of the images that I couldn't add to the set (due to the limited size), so here is a cutie bugger text frame just for you!! Enjoy!! 

Now onto some more art that suits this time of year!! I have been on Facebook quite a bit, actually, I am on it whenever I am at my desk...I know -I have a problem..hahaha.. This is a frame that you will see in my new Winter set....I will have quite a few new sets out this weekend!! Woo Hoo!!

Please remember to read my TOU  before using any of my graphics. All of my graphics are for personal and/or commercial use (single user)...

Have a GREAT FRIDAY!!! Thank you for stopping by!   

When C-R-E-A-T-I-V-I-T-Y Calls! Free Halloween Kitty Graphic

When Creativity Calls...

Well, I didn't get inspired in my dreams, but I did get some inspiration while in the shower...bwahahaha!! And that is not even the funny part…

While in the shower, I was thinking about Laura Candler- -Okay folks...get your minds back in heaven - I was thinking about her because I am a

SERIAL multi-tasker - 
I can't help myself...as soon as I am "aware" of my awakeness (I just made that up...I'm a writer, so I'm allowed to do that)...my brain starts multi-tasking...hahaha

Well, while thinking about Laura Candler...as I was telling her that I am trying to get a free (YES, FREE) clip art set out by Friday, I was going through my to-do list and....

she just happened to be first on my list (well, after Krista Miller......of whom I have become a stalker of....not sure that she knows this...so please keep this intel on the DL..haha)....

And I created a set of (well, it is a secret.....) "WATERMELONS" (not really...)...and a children's story popped in my head - JUST LIKE THAT!!!

I was so excited that I yelled for hubs (who has selective hearing...and couldn't hear my voice)...he wouldn't budge and I had creativity that NEEDED to be written down or recorded .....so...what's a girl to do???

Run out of the shower in the nude...searching for something...ANYTHING...to write down the creative juices that I do not want to forget...the first thing I spot.....MY CELL PHONE!!

I grabbed the cell phone....searched for my awesome "voice recorder" app and got back in the shower..cell phone in hand!  I have a really big shower...called a "snail" - it is great for when I want to have shower parties...hahaha..just kidding....it is breezy and huge and not great for when I am cold...but, I had my cell phone and I was ready to record...I pressed the record button and professed my new children's book (the entire thing) -

The reason I am telling you this......well, I have decided that this one will be my first FREE Children's e-book that includes a set of FREE clip art images to use in your resources!!!! I have three children's books completely finished, but the one that I am most excited about...I have not had the time to finish the art for.....I am going to have to take...possibly January to myself, to get my own illustrations finished...

 When my creativity is flowing....there is nothing I can do about it-  except to just go with whatever is in my head..

I will be posting this fabulous Holiday-themed (Woo HOO), story and clip art set by Friday or Saturday.....) The new book will be dedicated to Laura Candler...hahaha....

Oh- the things my brain is capable of never ceases to UH-MAZE me!

I would love to know what inspires all of you & what do you get inspired to do???

The remainder of the day was fairly productive...My lack of time is beginning to feel like having an expensive car, but never  quite enough money to make the monthly payments! I have so many things to do, but never enough time!! I really need to have a super-power...
I need to be able to freeze time at will...

or...

possess the ability to complete tasks faster than the speed of light!! I keep asking God for just one of these gifts; however, I keep waking up exactly the same! 

I SUH-POSE that I could spend less time pondering the thought of possessing a super power and more time on the tasks at hand.....BUT my brain does what it wants....

I think RIGHT and write LEFT

EXACTLY!!
hahaha..who's scratching their head??? 

I went to the post office this morning to mail out Frosty and I had a blast!! I asked if I could get Frosty's picture with the employees, and one out of two volunteered....the second girl was a bit of a party pooper!! She was NOT having any of it...even when every single customer in the store asked about Frosty and took mental notes of his blog...hahaha...

Oh well, ya can't win them all. At least I snapped the most awesome picture of Frosty with a vibrant postal worker named, Katherine.....WHAT A DOLL SHE WAS!!
She even posed....I couldn't have been more happy - I think I thanked her a million times. I told her that she could become famous from the snapshot one day when Frosty reaches celebrity status...I tried sounding convincing enough by raising my voice...AND my eyebrows at that other gal, but she wasn't interested a BIT!! She avoided having any eye contact with me! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??!! hahaha
This one's for you Katherine - the best postal employee in AZ  - as far as I am concerned!!

PRICELESS, IN-DEEDY!!
I am also very happy because I found some cute black and white contact paper - FINALLY!! I am going to beautify my Blah, Blah, filing cabinet in my office...I will let you know how it goes & keep you updated on my progress....once I get some time to spare...hahahaha!!

Before I let you go, I will present you with a little gift....
Enjoy the Halloween Kitty!! Who said black cats have to be scary??..hahaha
