CU Freebie + Award!

It has been real cold here in Georgia for the last 2 weeks! Mostly at night though! I tell you it is crazy!! My kids have to be bundled up in coats, hats, scrafs, gloves (although they don't wear the scrafs or gloves) when they leave for school and then when they come home in the afternoon, they don't have their coats on!

There has been frost when we wake up @ 6am and we have to defrost our window, but it warm enough for no jackets in the afternoon! Crazy!

This weather really makes me homesick for Cinci. and their chili!!!! I so want some Gold Star! Well, my favorite is Camp Washington Chili but you can't buy that at the stores in cans! I'm gonna have to e-mail my friend up there and tell her my stock is out!! She sends me some cans every once in a while! Boy, I wish I had some now!

Anyways...I received 2 more awards. I am so honored! Candie gave back to me the award that I gave to her! The 'Friends forever Treasured Award' Thanks so much Candie! I am so honored! We had become such good friends so quickly and I treasure every minute!! Since I already received it (several times YAH!) I don't need to post or send it on! Andrea has given this award to me as well! Thank you so much Andrea! Lei also passed this award back to me! She has also become a very special friend to me! She put on her blog that she hopes to meet face to face one day & I think that would be awesome! We all should do that! How cool would that be? Have like a little digiscrappin convention and digiscrappers from all over meet in one centralized location just to meet and have fun..maybe trade some secrets! *LOL*

I receive this Award from Kim. Thank you so much Kim, I am so glad that we have become friends!! Kim & I have been talking a little back & forth for awhile & just recently become good friends! I cherish that and I am so honored that you thought of me for this award! Make sure you visit her...she has ALOT of great recipes and other stuff on her blog!!

5. Linda @ http://www.lindajd.blogspot.com/

The reason I nomintaded these ladies is because I think they are awesome and I haven't given them an award yet & though it was 'bout time!!

On to the Freebie! I did something that I've never done before! I made a CU! And its a greyscaled template...I think *LOL* I made this using a pre-set shape so it DOES NOT have layers! It is grey-scaled so all you have to do is use the magic wand and select that area and then fill it with whatever color, gradient or pattern you want! So easy! I put an example in the preview that is NOT included in the zip! Hope you all like it!
