File Hosting question Please please please help me!

For those of you that have downloaded my kits or templates, could you please tell me how quickly and easily they are downloading for you. I am paying a small fee and if they aren't any quicker than anywhere else, I will just go with a free sharing service next time. Please let me know as soon as you can by telling me what you have downloaded (kit or template) don't need to know which one and if you think it loaded fairly quickly for you. Thanks so much!

Journaling Challenge

LiaScraps- Greeny Easter

I did this layout for a journaling challenge on a paper site. The journaling reads:
"We drifted for hours in the middle of the vast calm ocean which sprawled beneath and around us as far as the eyes could see. We were waiting for something to happen. What exactly, we never quite knew; but the anticipation of the unknown left us with an inexplicable feeling of exhilaration tinged with just the faintest hint of fear. What would this current adventure bring us?
We'd been in this place many times before; sometimes with our lives barely intact, having narrowly outsmarted the unseen monsters lurking just beneath our dangling toes. Other times we'de simply drifted. Sharing our secrets, both innocent and not, in that tender way that only sisters with the closest of bonds could possibly know. This was our life. This was the world of our imagination.
Of course, it was really only a blanket in the midst of a grassy field and two imaginative young girls at play, but in our minds it was a place of wonder, being constantly transformed into fanciful new realms each passing summer. Sadly, it is a place my children will likely never know, as the passing of time, has dimmed the light from those imaginative places and the thieving marauder known as technology has stolen the innocence from their young minds.
But, I will always remember our adventures and they will forever occupy the corner of my mind where I keep the most precious of memories!"

Hi friend, a new feature for you (and me too!!) yippee

I just wanted to share with you a new feature I'm adding to my blog. If you'll look on the right column I now have a STRUT YOUR STUFF Section. Just submit a working link to one of your layouts using any of my templates, and I will happily feature it in this new section! I would LOVE to see what your are doing with my stuff. It's so encouraging to know they are actually being used. Have a great Easter!

Give your template a twist

I know many of you probably already do this, but templates are so versatile all you have to do is give the template a little quarter turn and bam an entirely new look!! I Used the template below and gave it a little twist on this layout of my sweetie grandbaby boy The kit is from Designs by Kat at the Scrap Orchard you can pick it up here: Love You Because
