Over 1000 Followers Freebie set...(this count as my wednesday freebie)

It's official last night around 10 p.m. my time I hit 1000 followers on this blog. As promised I have a 4 digi set for my loyal fans...

The file can be found here...

I don't mind if you pass along the fact that I have a small set for free right now, but please refer them here first instead of just sending them the link.

When we make it to 1500 followers I will have another set for free. So keep spreadin' the word and I will keep giving away the free digis...

Sneek Peek, This n That...Ramble, Babble etc...

So this past Saturday I had the opportunity to sit thru another Dance Competition, this one was a little shorter, 10 hrs. and my 5 yr old wasn't there to entertain. So in the spare moments between my daughters dances I came up with these. The Dragon one was inspired by the movie "How to train your Dragon"... awesome movie, my 5 yr old didn't move or ask to go potty once during the whole film, believe me that's a miracle in itself. The other cards of course inspired by my favorite movie this year and the animated version is probably my number one film of all time, I love the story of "Alice"...

Closer versions of the cards.

More...

And one more

I also had the chance to work on some new art...

Just a rough of a few bugs...

The bunny and turtle I call "Toby" and "Buster" I think you can figure out which is which, I have about 6 more of these guys together, looking for springtime suggestions that they could be doing together, I have Spring/Cabin Fever and am sooooo ready for it to be permanently warm, it's been warm here but snow and rain off an on and tomorrow we are supposed to get more of both...YUCK!!!

I haven't paid attention to how many followers I have had lately and was surprised to see that I have 982, once I get to 1000 I will have a special treat for all, so the sooner you can get a friend to "follow" my blog the sooner you can get a goodie...I can't believe Easter is this Sunday. This year is flying by fast. Doesn't help that March I have dance classes, dance competitions, extra dance practices as well as soccer practice and games, and my oldest is returning to Lagoon to work for the summer, so there's pre-season stuff too. Busy, Busy busy, but hey it keeps me out of trouble, Oh yes and a High Hopes Release sometime soon...

Thanks for sticking with me, I can be flakey and unresponsive at times...

Sunday This N That... and 6 freebies

Yes I have been a little quiet lately.... Soccer Season Started this week and Competition Dance Season kicked in to full gear yesterday and I had the fun chance to sit in the gym at a local school for 13 hrs. But the most fun part was entertaining a 5 yr old who doesn't really care about dance. I could have stayed home with him, but I need to be there to support my girls.
I missed Freebie Wednesday this week and was so inspired by a book coming out this Tuesday that I have been waiting a year to read Fablehaven Book 5, Next month Kingdom Keepers 3 comes out as well, I don't read as much as I'd like to but these 2 books get top priority on my to read list, I made a few bookmark for downloading and coloring.

Over at my challenge blog Challenge #6 Is up: HERE
Get those Easter cards ready...And the prize is a pretty cool one at that...

Most of my yesterday drawing time was:

Drawing Robot Dinosaurs to entertain my 5 yr old who had to endure the 12+ hour ordeal...Thank goodness for Nintendo DS, MP3 players, Crayons and paper...

Finally a Freebie...

This past weekend the wife and I disappeared for a few days and went to Disneyland without the kids... Talk about weird...But nice at the same time...

No trip is complete without a photo in front of the castle.

Dudley took his photo there as well.

After all that walking Dudley needed a snack.

Went to the animation academy at Disney's California Adventure, no laughing at my grumpy, he's rough...

Ran into Billy Hill and one of the HillBilly's, If you have never seen this show at the Golden Horshoe in Frontierland I highly recommend taking the time to sit down and watch these guys, it's on the Pike family list of things we must do on a Disney trip. They also have Ice Cream sundaes there so it's a double bonus.

Eating at the Blue Bayou inside Pirates isn't something we do with the kids on a normal trip, so mom and dad splurged and I had to have a Monte Cristo, the greatest sandwich ever made...EVER, I am serious...everrrrrrr

Flying home I actually got a window seat, that almost never happens...
We had a great time, missed the kids like crazy but had an awesome time together for the first time in 16 years...

Oh yes and a Freebie..
He's just as ready for Spring as I am especially after being in Southern California and having things in bloom and warm enough temps for wearing shorts everyday..
