Hope to find everyone HAPPY and HEALTHY and scrapping like there is NO tomorrow! I promise you it takes me longer to decorate my scrapatits than it does my house!!! Of course, my computer has been SOOOOOOO slow today. It was hanging up anywhere and everywhere! I was chatting with Dawn and I told her that I was ready to toss my computer out the window OR should that be toss Windows out of my computer!!! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HAAAAAAAAAA!!! Have y'all put in the good word to Santa for me??? Have you told him that Ms. Linda has been a VERY good girl and that she needs that computer REALLY, REALLY bad so that she can continue to be a part of the GIVING spirit in SCRAPLAND? Thank you!!! *elated smile*

HAPPY DECEMBER AND LET THE "TRAINS" BEGIN!!!

Blog trains that is!!! I just KNOW that there are going to be A LOT of them this year and MOST are beginning today and within the next couple of weeks, SOOOOOO .... prepare yourselves to be glued to your computer chairs for a spell!!! ROFL! Hey, look at this way, it's a GOOD opportunity to clean and re-organize your desks or even your computer desktop!!! How about making your Christmas card list and addressing envelopes OR catching up on a GOOD book or two .... LOL, maybe EVEN three!!! ROFL!!! Okay, you won't be here THAT long!

I am posting my FIRST set of goodies for the *Worldwide Christmas Scrapbooking Freebies* a little later than anticipated as my eyes gave way at about 4 am this morning and I just HAD to revamp the papers and a few of the embellies!!! Why? HO, HO, HO, HO, HOOOOOO, wouldn't you LIKE to know!!!

Y'all who are NEW to digiscrapping might not appreciate this quite as much as those of us who are becoming seasoned, however, a year ago, there were NO magical commercial overlays that allowed you to apply textures, crinkle, wrinkle or give your background papers a folded look!!! WOW! Trying to wrap my head around JUST how far we've come in the past year as far as the "plethora" of designer tools that are available to us today! Simply AMAZING!!!

I was REAL green (hmmm ... what color am I now???) in designing when I started making and posting my GLITTERY goodies last holiday season and I would like to give a BIG shout out to FLERG'S for her UNCOMPARABLE glitters (she was not even selling in a store yet and look at her now *googly eyes*) and to the DYNAMIC and MOST incredible Kim Broedelet (I use Kim's goodies the most and for a VERY good reason - they are TOP NOTCH and NEVER disappointing) for her *Festive* overlays, to the young lady I've dubbed "action queen" and who was VERY new to the commercial scene, Ms. Monica Larsen (owner of Commercial-Use.com!) and LAST, and SURELY not the least as she is ALWAYS listed first in my credits if I've used her TIMELESS and FLAWLESS actions, is Brianna aka Atomic Cupcake!!!

THANK YOU LADIES! Y'all are PIONEERS in the COMMERCIAL-USE industry here in SCRAPLAND and still WOW us with your MAGIC!!! MWAH!

Okay, on with the GOODIES for today and throughout the month of December! After today, when you come to visit me, look on the sidebar beneath "Follow My Blog" widget where I am going to a link to my ENTIRE *Holiday Sparkle - Worldwide Christmas Scrapbooking Freebies* folder so that you will ALWAYS be able to find them if you should miss the day I post them. There are two other options as well if you've not already done so, one is to "Follow My Blog" if you have one where you will see any updates on your Blogger Dashboard or on your blog if you have the widget for your own personal blog roll. The second way to stay abreast of ALL of the NEW goodies is to sign up via my Feed Burner, which will deliver each day's post, including download links, DIRECTLY to your inbox.

And, without further ado, *HOLIDAY SPARKLE II*, first installment! I hope you like it as it is a pretty good fix for us GLITTER-holics!!!

Make sure to click on the *Worldwide Christmas Scrapbooking Freebies* banner to view previews of what other designers have to offer us this holiday season!

HAPPY MONDAY, HAPPY DECEMBER and HAPPY, HAPPY y'all!!!

Love and hugs,
Linda :)

P.S. *HOLIDAY SPARKLE II* will coordinate nicely with MANY of your other "traditional" Christmas scrapkits as well as with my *Dreaming of a Bright Christmas*, which is part of the *Walking in a Scrappy Wonderland* Christmas collaboration by Dawn Mills, Vicki Parker, Mel Hains and myself! LOL! Ahhhh, SO many GOODIES and SO little time, eh? So what are you waiting for - start scrapping and then come back and share them with ALL of us in SCRAPLAND by adding them to my GUESTBOOK at the top. YOUR "masterpieces" ARE my GREATEST reward!!!

*I was able to figure out how to change my options and you are NOW able to see your upload instantly*
