Moving On

Frosty's hat has blown away to another designers blog. To those that could not find my hidden file, I hid the file on my blog by the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. I always need luck in Vegas if I want to come out ahead.

The last three in my Around the World series are Ireland, Scotland, and England. These bundles will be up for sale at http://www.thatscrapinc.com/ by the end of January.

Scotland bundle has a Country Flag, a Bag Pipe, 3 Bag Pipers, the Lochness Monster PP, a Celtic Cross, and a 2 Kilt PP.

Ireland bundle has a Country flag, a clover corner accent, an Irish Dancing Costume PP, a Mug of Beer PP, a Derby, a Lucky Horseshoe PP, and 2 pub signs.

England bundle has a Country flag, Big Ben, London Bridge, a Guard Bear Hat PP, a Double Decker bus, a phone booth, a Jousting Knight, and Shakespear.

Besides dressing up those photos from visits overseas, you can use these files for school projects, themed parties, Epcot Center, and the World’s Fair.

I would like to thank these people for test cutting my files: Esther WB from CA, Hailey B in Idaho, Lisa M in MI, Debbi B in IN, Kim J from MO, and Lisa B from NE. Without these ladies help, my files may still be just sitting on my computer.

Wha ha ha hahhhhhh

I’ve got Frosty’s hat and I am holding it ransom. I am not giving it back to Linda, aka Jo King, aka 3dshopmo, because it was a ‘crime’ the way she made us look for that free file! This should be easy after that treasure hunt. I’ve got just one question. Are you feeling lucky? See if you can win this free file.

Clarification on the red 'snow bricks' off to the side. This is for pouncing or cutting dashed lines. In the GSD version the red lines have been set to dash. Cut the red and maroon at the same time. For pouncing in the KNK and WPC version, place bricks on top of blue mat. If you do not know how to pounce watch Char and Rhonda’s videos at http://www.thatsscrapinc.com/

Castles and Pubs

My youngest, Samantha, went to Germany when she was 17. She made friends with a foreign exchange student that was visiting here in the states. Sam and another friend went to stay with her for 3 weeks. After a scary ride on the Autobahn, Sam told me I was not to tell her she is driving to fast!

They went mostly to visit castles and pubs. At least that is almost all of the pictures I have of her trip. You can drink when you are 16, but you can’t drive until you are 18.

What I remember most about her trip was when they were to come home. They were not on the plane! The airlines asked them ‘would they mind being "bumped" for a different flight?’ Their first offer was a return flight to the states with a night stay in Amsterdam. They turned that down (whew!) Their second offer was via Paris, the third was another night stay in Germany and a coupon for a free flight. They choose that one. The airlines put them up at a hotel, but we didn’t get the message until we were already at the airport! When I screamed at the airlines for "bumping" minors I was told they can ask anyone over the age of 12. They do not need to get parental agreement, just the child’s agreement. Interesting.

This Germany bundle has a Country Flag, a Beer Stein and pretzels, a Leiderhosen outfit and a German costume dress. It also comes with a beer barrel and a cuckoo clock.

The Castle bundle come separably. This is two of the 4 castles in this bundle. Buy 3 of the ‘Around the World’ Series and get this one free. Email me at scrapmisfit@yahoo.com to find out how.

Around the World

I started making these Around the World series for my daughters. Both my daughters have had passports since they were 17, both passports have stamps in them, and both girls paid for their own trip.

My oldest, Jaclyn, went to Australia when she was 17 with the People to People Student ambassador program. A group of about 40 students (grades 9 thru 12) from around our tri-state area went to Australia for 3 weeks.

Jaclyn road a skyrail over a rain forest. She visited an Aboriginal Cultural Park and a diamond mine. She explored a crocodile farm at night and snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef. She climbed the Sydney Arbor Bridge and visited the Opera House. She held a koala bear and lived as a local for two nights with a home stay family, and much more. This is her bundle.

The Australia bundle comes with a Country flag, the Opera House PP, the Sydney Arbor Bridge, the Sydney Skywalk Tower and Symbol, a koala bear, a boomerang, a coral reef, snorkeling gear, and of course the Tasmanian devil.

These bundles will be up for sale at http://www.thatscrapinc.com. Look for them soon!

The winds are calm

but the temperature is still low. We might even get to a high today of 20*F above zero. It is still not warm enough for Frosty’s hat, try someplace warmer.
