10 for $10 Deal & a Blues Freebie

*DOWNLOAD*

Hello all! Finally a little freebie from me. I've got a set of 3 cardstock frames in a fun, fat, rounded square shape. I couldn't decide what I liked better, messy painted edges, messy painted edges on just the outside, or the plain cardstock frame all by itself... so I'm offering all 3 and I'll let you decide which you like best.

These frames correspond with my Blooming Blues kit, available at Stone Accents Studio by itself or as part of the 10 for $10 Deal: The Blues only on October 15, 2009.

Sensapolis!

We had a super fantastic day at the Sensapolis today! This is an amazing hands-on playpark like NOTHING you've seen in the good 'ol U.S. of A. And while I loved absolutely everything about it, the tiny cup-of-coffee I got was really not to my liking. Give me a Starbucks over german tasse any day!

Our first experience at the Sensapolis was the spaceship... complete with escape slides like no other. The dad convinced the daughter to go down the death slide. Can you see the look of terror on her face? See, the thing is, she knew what she in for. Me on the other hand? After losing my bunch, I decided to trek up to the top of the spaceship & slide down the 10 & over slide. A dark tube through space. Cool. Nuh-UH!

That puppy started off like a normal slide and then, all of a sudden, the bottom dropped out & I was hanging in MIDAIR. Seriously. MIDAIR. I screamed like a little girl. Those are some seriously scary slides.

Of course the 20+ slides were nothing compared to, get this, the ropes course up in the air. UP BY THE CEILING they had a bunch of logs for you to walk across. Oh yeah. You needed a harness, safety gear, helmet and a whole-lot-of-bravery to do this. Here's me & #3 son, 17, giving it a shot. For superb pictures of how high, how scary this is go to Sensapolis itself. Awww heck, I'll blatantly steal one of theirs to give you a sense of how crazy this is:
You are literally up by the ceiling, above everyone's head, no safety net, and that stuff shakes & moves & wiggles... OHmiGaaaaaaaaaawd! To top it all of, the lady before me? At least 6 months pregnant if not 7 or 8. Germans are crazy.

We laughed our butts off when we saw the ball pit for the babies. Ball pits are fun. Babies love ball pits! But this ball pit, had a 4-5 story cage built around it. And each level of the cage had an air-pressured ball shooting gun on it. To shoot balls at the babies. ROFL! My husband had a delightful time up there.

Here you can see Dave shooting away, a level above him is our baby running free. That's another thing here, kids run free so much more. Our kids are in Heaven and I'm slowly starting to relax. It's a wonderful change of pace (except for those darn coffee cups)

And because it's Germany, it is the land of the pigs. I'm enjoying my pig beer and dangling from my rear view mirror is my new car freshner:
I am sooooooooooo lucky.

Time for more cookies....

One of my best friends is struggling. Really, really struggling. So I need y'all to buy a cookie.

I just went & bought some myself. Not for me, lord knows they may not get here all tasty like I so wish they would, but as a little surprise, a little treat for my oldest away at university. I'm sure he'll be surprised to see Neal's cookies arrive. Surprised and happy and then sad. I've kept it from him a little. Neal has always been one of his favorite people. Soren was even the ring bearer at their wedding! So long ago. Such a long time. And now... my heart is breaking. So if you can. Please? Buy a cookie?

I'm here! I'm here! I'm here!

Oh how time flies! I can't believe it's been this long since I blogged. I so love blogging too. I've been busy not only looking for houses here in Germany, but also running the Next Designer Contest over at Stone Accents Studio. I'm so sad it is over but ecstatic that we have three fabulous new Designers!!!

If you hurry, their winning entries are still free for download at SAS:

Go buy a cookie....

I'm tired. It's late. I'm full-up. So I'm reading blogs I've been neglecting for eons. And while I know all this, I haven't read one of my best friends blogs in forever. I'd say my best friend, she was my best friend in high school, my roommate in college & beyond... but life is funny. You can't claim a best friend if you aren't in touch for every little thing. And this is not a little thing.

Check it out, read, feel, and buy a cookie. Neal's cookies are truly amazing (and any man that's 6'4" that can bake like that is a real man in my book), you will not be disappointed.... and you'll have done your good deed for the day.

Come on Down!
