Exams are over!!!!

I am so happy, my kids wrote their last exams today, and next week is just a fun week at school if they want to attend, I am hoping just to sleep in late and looking forward to no driving!!! I have had such a week of mixed emotions, sadness that Digital Candy is closing, but excited by a few proposals and opportunities, but nothing definitely in the pipeline as yet. I need my holiday first!!

Digital Candy is having awesome ridiculous sales, their mega's are going for only $1.99, can you believe that!!! So don't miss out, they will never again be available!

Closing down sale!

Yes, I am closing shop at Digital Candy. Actually sadly Digital Candy is closing doors altogether on 31 December. You can read all about it here. Digital Candy was like a second home to me, I loved every minute of my time there, and will have only good memories. I have put my entire store on a 50% off sale until 12 December, then I will close.

We leave for a family vacation on 14 December until early January, then I have decided to take a break from designing for awhile, I need to do plenty of spring cleaning after our renovations, and get my kids settled in school, get back to gym and lose all the weight I put on sitting on my backside for a year designing LOL!
I think designing is in my blood now so I will be back when I feel ready. I will not neglect my blog, still have my beloved CT's and friends in the scrapping world! And I am definitely not giving up scrapping!

Here are the latest renovations pics, they say a week to go then it will all be done, lets hope so!

Have a great week, I will be back later with more pics!

Reves de l'amour- and a freebie!

I have a new kit in my store, I suppose you could call it a mini as it is smaller than my other kits, but really bigger than the normal min! When I was doing it it reminded me a bit of French decor, so decided to give it a French name - Reves de l'amour. I hope it means Dreams of love, so if I am wrong please correct me!LOL.
It is going for only $2.99 for 2 weeks and my Candy Jar Freebie this month is an add on to it.
You can download it here, if you do anything with it, please post the link in the Candy Jar thread at Digital Candy!
I have one LO from my CT so far, by Gina, it is so pretty!

Mari Koegelenberg has a new kit in her shop called Apple Orchard.

My LO (My friend Janene)I will be back later with some more renovation photos and LO's. Have a great 1 December!!(Where has this year gone??)

Yay - Friday!!!

I am so relieved it is Friday, I have done so much traveling with 2 kids writing exams at different times, I have been up and down all week taking and fetching kids from school! Renovations are flying now, the weather has been kind to us for 2 days!
The designers at Digital Candy got together to create a charity kit in aid of a family with a little girl,Allison, who lost everything in the hurricane in Texas. All proceeds from this kit will go directly to them. You can see photographs and read about the devastation HERE.
The kit is called Allison's Fairytale, and consists of 48 papers and 92 elements. The kit is going for only $5.00.

My contribution
Digital Candy's December collab is in the shop, it is a huge holiday grab bag, a fantastic bargain at only$3.99!!
And here is my contribution:
Although we don't have Black Friday in South Africa I jumped on the bandwagon and put my entire shop on sale less 50%, and don't forget my $1.00 deals are only until 30 November!
KimB Designs has a fantastic new Commercial Use grab Bag out especially for Black Friday at an absolute bargain of $4.00!!
And her shop is 40% off today only!!
Here is my hint at what you will find in Kim's Grab bag!(Some of the elements are from my portion of Natures Palette, a Digital Candy Mega collab)
And here is the freebie made with the grab bag,only something small as I did not get much time to work with it, this is only a tiny portion of what is in the bag!Download Here
