Fa la la la la la la la la!!!!

Hurray!!!

Christmas is approaching!

Tonight DH and I are making a chocolate house for DD - I'm too busy this year to make something from scratch hehe - so I stepped aside from baking a gingerbread one and bought a marvelous kit at one of our stores. We're melting chocolate and the aroma is spreading through the door!! LOL Our neighbor (who is an old lady by the way) called us and asked what was cooking there - she and her husband were mouthwatering! LOL

As soon as it is finished (so far we've ran out of chocolate) I'll take some pics and show it to you!!!

We've decided to make these for MIL and FIL and Mom and Dad too!!!

And that means I have brand new Christmas stuff in store!

And its priced 20% off as usual!

And I have a special offer too (a free printables set with the purchase of the original kit - hey lookie, it has several wine toppers and 4 great gift cards!)

So I've been singing fa-la-la all day... LOL And that is how one of my new kits is called!

Sorry for the short post guys - running away cause that melted chocolate can't wait!! LOL

Yum-yum,

Irene

LInk changed + a new freebie!!

LOL!!!

I thought it could be a good idea ty try Ziddu instead of 4shared since I used to have problems with damaged links with 4shared of late - but it turned out that 4shared was much safer LOLOL

So!

The Advent Calendar link is updated again (sorry!!!) and hopefully you won't be having any problems with 4shared this time! Remember it will stay there until December, 26!

Btw... I'm releasing 2 brand new Christmas kits on Friday + a hybrid printables set! And these will surely make a special offer... But let's keep it until Friday! So far I've got a little freebie for you - hopefully in time for Christmas! :)

SNAG THE FREEBIE HERE

Hugs & have a great day!!
Irene

Advent Calendar Freebie - couldn't resist!!!

Mom called us from the hospital and said Dad was allowed to have some spoons of veal broth -YAAAY!!!! - so while it was cooking I made a freebie thingie for you which I have been dreaming to make for quite a time - yup, it's an Advent Calendar!!!

And it's free! o grab it while it's available - the link will expire on December, 26.

Just my gift of appreciation to you - my customers, my blog readers, my fans, my freebie lovers, just my friends.

GRAB THE CALENDAR HERE

If you like it - just leave me a lil luv in the comments :)

This year has been rather hard on me - more like a zebra LOL - but I never feel sorry for what's behind. And I'm thankful to God for every chance he gave me - no matter what it is, life, love or job.



Luv ya all,

Irene

Update + new stuff

Hey there hons!

Thanks for the well wishes and prayers you sent for my Dad - he's still very weak and has to go through severe pains but the doctor says he's doing well and all the pains are natural to this stage of recovery. I still have an awful migraine cuz I can't sleep well and worry a lot - but I use that time for designing at nights.

So, first - I have released two brand new kits today + a quick page album which is a FREE deal with the purchase of the original kit:

And.... I have a little RAK at DST! :) I have a brand new Christmas kit that will be released next Friday :

And I'm ready to give away three coupons to 3 random winners! Yay!!! Make sure you pop in and post a little comment here: http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/showthread.php?t=162617 to have a chance to win this kit before it hits the store!!!

God bless you all -

off to take a little nap while DD is asleep

All about Christmas...

Hey guys - have you seen the latest issue of the Daily Scrapper???
It is fabulous!!
All Christmassy and festive... I got so inspired reading it today!
I also contributed a little article there - you might want to read it too.
http://www.thedailyscrapper.com/ChristmasSpecial2008/christmastradition_irenealex.html

Now re-reading what I've written some time ago I'm sending my longest prayers to God. Because my Dad has to go through a complicated surgery tomorrow.
We're all hoping for the great miracle of Christmas to help him and us all during these hard times.
Because we all love him to every single beat of our hearts and yes - I WANT him to play Santa for DD.
No one can do it better.
I know.

Take care,
Irene
