With a new year starting, I thought I would make some freebies for you to help you get/stay organized. One thing I have to always have around is a calendar. I have a dumb phone so I'm still very dependent on paper calendars. I made this simple calendar for you to download. Use it however you want - planning what's for dinner, sketching out your Bible reading plan, or use it as a way to record high points of the day, answered prayers, etc. I will have some more organization-based downloads over the next few days.

New stuff (and another freebie!)
This week is cray-zay busy around here. Actually the next two weeks are cray-zay busy. I was FB'ing a friend of mine explaining why SC (my daughter) & I would not be joining them at Cool Zoo, and I realized it's because we have something on the calendar every. single. day. until the Friday two and a half weeks from now (as in September 30th!). Pass me the paper bag, I need to hyperventilate for a while.
I realize my calendar probably looks like a wide open field compared to some of your calendars out there. But I'm in a new world with this homeschooling deal. We get invited to activities and school functions and yet I still have to remember that I need to block out minimum 2-3 hours a day for her school work. Any less than that and she doesn't do as well (I know this from experience; I wasn't as stringent on vacation as I usually am and I can tell a difference in how much she has retained of the things we studied that week versus every other week). So it does make me lose my mind just a little bit to have some commitment every single day. But we can manage. :)
In my downtime (translation: work I'm doing at 2AM while the rest of the house is asleep), I've made some new things for my etsy store. One is a custom invitation I made for a friend from college. An elegant garden tea party birthday party for her daughter. (I'm also trying not to freak out over all of us who were in college together yesterday already have soon-to-be six year olds!) I can't wait to see any pictures she posts of the party, because I think it's going to be gorgeous!
I've also been working on more graphics. My focus this time was on frames. Circle frames, scallop frames, dot frames, heart frames. I just kept making frames as more and more ideas popped into my head. And then I did, what else? Added glitter. Everything is better with glitter, am I right? :)
This is the silver & gold set, but there are 10 other color sets to choose from in the shop. These sell for $6 each (for 12 frames) and are for both personal & commercial use. I will be releasing some non-glitter colored frames in the future.
My next graphic project is papers. My goal is to eventually have a full set of frames, papers, ribbons, etc. for customers to pick & choose what they would like in their digi-scrapbook kits.
I also have more Christmas cards and some new baby announcements to upload, so be looking for those in the coming weeks!
And finally, a frame freebie. While I myself am not a huge Halloween person, I know many of you are looking forward to it. So I made you some Halloween-colored frames to use in your projects.
These frames are free for personal & commercial use. Please make sure to note my freebie fine print and terms of use.
I think that's all for today! Hope everyone has a wonderful week! See you Friday for another freebie!

Friday Freebies :: Scripture Memory Cards (Isaiah 33:2)
It's Friday Freebies... on a Sunday. Oops. I was out of town this weekend visiting grandparents and didn't have any internet till now.
Today's card is Isaiah 33:2. Just an all around awesome verse reminding us Who is our strength and our salvation in times of distress.
On this day of remembrance and mourning for those who lost their lives or gave their lives to save others in the 9/11 terror attacks, may we remember the comfort, strength, and salvation that comes from our gracious King!
Tomorrow I will be releasing some new commercial- and personal-use graphics, and might even have some more free downloads here on the blog. :) Stay tuned!

Friday Freebies :: Autumn Love
Is anyone else totally ready for autumn? I cannot wait. Of course, I'm deluding myself since it stays hot till the first of December here. But I can dream. And I have dreams of colorful leaves, cool breezes, scarves at football games, and hot apple cider. If you love autumn as much as I do, I hope you'll love today's freebie!

Friday Freebies :: Scripture Memory Cards (Micah 6:8)
Today's freebie is Micah 6:8. I love this verse, and it's one that has been very important, a very great reminder, to me this year. Download this, print it out, and may it be a great reminder to you too!

Friday Freebies :: School Days
Today for Friday Freebies I also have some art I created that's all about school! Most of us have (or know) someone who have either started or will be hitting the books again over the next few weeks. These are some fun printables I made to celebrate back-to-school time.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Friday Freebies :: Scripture Memory Cards (Psalm 73:26)
Welcome to the very first installment of Friday Freebies. Check back here every Friday for downloads I've created just for you - completely for free! I cannot tell you how much I have been blessed by other sites uploading and offering things for free, and I want to pass that on to anyone who lands here. (That's also a good reason to subscribe and follow on Facebook, right?) :)
One of the freebies I will offer every week is a different Scripture Memory Card. It's kind of a neat story on how this particular freebie came about. Way back in college between my junior and senior year, I sublet my friend's room in her apartment while she was gone for the summer (shout out: she has a blog too - You Frill Me - which is a oh-so-fun resource on fashion, trends, delicious recipes, and anything else that's frilling!).
Every day when my roommate and I left for the day, we'd close our bedroom doors. So when I'd come home in the afternoon or at night, I'd always have to open the door to walk into my bedroom. Well, Fran had taped an index card to the outside of the bedroom door. Scrawled in pencil on the front of the card was one simple verse: Hebrews 2:3, which states, "How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?" I can still to this day see the words in her handwriting. After passing that card upwards of 90 times over the course of the summer, the verse was etched into my brain. And 10 years, a mama brain, and a memory-destroying dosage of coumadin later, I can still recite it without hesitation.
The summer I spent subletting from Fran taught me one thing: if I'm going to memorize Scripture, it needs to be where I can see it. Daily. Hourly. It has to be something I come face-to-face with each day so it imprints into my subconscious. I've known for years that trying to memorize while doing my Bible reading just doesn't cut it. If my brain is going to memorize Scripture, then Scripture has to do life with me.
Which brings us to today's (and each subsequent week's) download. I created some cards to tack up around my house (the majority of them being in the kitchen, since that's where I spend about 87% of my time, it seems). And I want to share those cards with you. So you can print them and put them on your wall, your bathroom mirror, your car dash - wherever you find yourself spending lots of time and could benefit from having Scripture present.
Today's card is Psalm 73:26. This is a special verse to me, kind of my verse-of-the-year for my 29th year.
Do you have any tips for Scripture memorization? Any particular verses you'd like to see made into cards? Let me know in the comments!
The fine print: I would be honored if you wanted to share my free files with others. If you choose to share, please always link back to my blog to share. Please do not download my files and then upload them to your site for download as your own creation(s). One of the reasons there's so many great free things to download in the blogosphere is because most bloggers are respectful of other blogger's creations, be it words, images, ideas, or photos. Let's all do our part to keep it that way.
