Birthday Blog Blowout - Day 8!

Well, we have come to the end of the line. It is Day 8 and the train ride has ended.
I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have!

Thank you all so very much for all of the wonderful comments about the album, my health, the fires and everything else! You have no idea how nice it is to come here and to 4shared and read all of your comments! They really make my day and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Update on health: The dr has no idea what is wrong. Since the blood work is fine, she thinks it may be more related to my thyroid problems than to the bites. She could be right, of course, but it just seems weird that this all started after I got bit! Pretty big coincidence but hey, after all of the blood tests I had done, at least I know there is nothing "wrong" with me so for that I am very grateful!

Ok, a few more things and we will get to the last download.

First, since this album may be a little "dark" or "scary" for younger children, I worked all day on a child-friendly album. I finally got it done at 2am and loaded into my store. You can click on the photo for a larger view than what you see here! Here is what it looks like:


It has 8 photo pages and 8 matching backs for journaling or to create your own pages.
It is 30% off and can be found HERE
I hope you like it! :o)

Second, I have decided to post ALL of the links one last time so if you missed any of them, you can grab them for the next 24 hours!
Here are links to Days 1-7

Sorry! Links have all expired!


And Day 8 is all of the matching backs.

Link has expired

I have enjoyed riding the train with all of you and I hope you will come back and check my blog once in awhile! Remember, you can also join my Yahoo group! (Button is in upper right corner of the blog) This is my group for posting my new products so you won't get too many emails!

Thank you all for joining me every day! It's been great!

Remember to check out the other designer blogs for the last day of goodies, too!

Birthday Blog Blowout - Day 7!

One of those bummer days today. Our grocery store and several other shops in that same area burned down last night. Or I should say, were torched. Why do people do that???
The grocery store, tobacco shop, drug store, snack bar, Chinese restaurant, a dentist and a gym were all burned down. The gym is at least there but from the looks of it, they will end up tearing it down. The snack bar and grocery store are nothing but broken glass, melted steel and rubble. The rest of them are just completely gone. Nothing but piles of rubble and smoldering ashes. It broke my heart to see it. Now to find another grocery store until they rebuild. Arrrgggg

They also came to paint the house again today since the weather cleared up finally. Every time they come to paint, I have to either leave the house or go upstairs and not come down for most of the day. I am allergic to paint so it's not a good thing to stick around! While we have 3 computers upstairs, none of them have my work materials so I got nothing done all day! *groan*

Tomorrow I see the dr again. I doubt she will have any answers but I am going back just the same. That is if someone doesn't torch that center as well!
Can you tell I'm upset about the fire? It really bothers me that people do things like that. Sometimes I really hate this world we live in these days. I just don't get it. I moved to Holland 8 years ago to get away from all the crime and crap back home in Wisconsin and now it is starting here as well. Nothing ever stays good, does it?

Ok, enough of the bummer today. I have one last page for you today. Tomorrow will be all of the backs that match the pages so you can make more pages if you want. If I get lucky, and the painters don't come back yet again, maybe I will actually get the kit done that I made this album from! Keep your fingers crossed! :o)

(Jody, I doubt this will be a good page for the kids' albums! I may try and come up with another album, more child appropriate!)

Here is today's page:

Birthday Blog Blowout - Day 6!

Wow! We are almost to the end of the blog train already! Can you believe it?

Thank you all again for all of the wonderful comments about the pages as well as the advice and well wishes for my health! They are all very much appreciated!

I went shopping today and picked up some cool and creepy Halloween decorations and spent the rest of the day decorating! I still have so far to go but the kids think it's cool. To have a 15 and 17 year old say they think it's cool, must mean it's cool! lol

Since the kids are "grown up", we are going with a bloody skeleton theme this year. It is looking quite spooky in here already!
I have been printing out every cool skeleton photo I can find and putting them in all of my photo frames! lol It's amazing how many skeleton photos you can find that are so cool!
Add to that a bloody stump of a foot hanging from the ceiling, a complete wall mural of a skeleton butcher shop, candles with blood dripping from them and a bloody apron with body parts splattered over it with the saying "The Family Butcher"(my costume! lol) and it is coming right along! I have a lot more skeletons to get up and more "bloody candles" to make but it has been fun! This house will be totally creepy by Halloween night!
The kids wanted a party this year and are they ever going to get one! :o)
(Yes, I do believe I may be a bit deranged!)

Anyway, I have been quite busy with the Halloween stuff today and having a lot of fun in the process. If anyone has any ideas or sees anything on the internet that would fit our theme this year, send it my way! I am looking for anything for food, decorations, games, movies, anything for the party! The kids are all between 15 and 17 so older games and stuff finally! Also, it is a mixed crowd meaning boys and girls.

Ok, the thing you have all come here for! Day 6! (Jody, I hope this one isn't too much for the kids' album!)
This is the page you will be getting today:

Birthday Blog Blowout - Day 5!

Thank you all for the well wishes and the links and ideas!

I do not believe I was bit by a spider of any kind. Why? Because I believe that whatever it was, was attracted to the sweat as I had a bunch of bites on my scalp as well at the same time. I guess it's not to say that whatever bit me in the face was the same as what bit my scalp though!
I am still reading up on spider bites as well as the fibromyalgia (spelling?) and anything else I can find with the symptoms I have. I see the dr again on Tuesday so maybe she will have some more insight or ideas. I doubt it though. The one thing I hate about Dutch medicine is the "give it a few weeks time" attitude. You get that a lot here. Not to say it is always a bad thing as most times, within a few weeks, whatever I have had has gone away but this time, I waited 3 weeks like she said and still had problems. (After having had them for almost a month before that!) At least she ordered tests right away after coming back. Now with the tests showing nothing though, I have the feeling she will say, just give it more time. I find it always hardest to not know what is wrong rather than knowing, even if it is bad. You can't fight what you don't know!

I will be sure to pass on the spider information to my fellow gardener. Perhaps he was bit by a spider.
There is also a sickness from the water in the canals sometimes, I have learned since this started. Since we use the canal water to water the gardens as we have no power in them, that is another possibility but again, I believe that would have showed up in the multitude of blood tests I just had.

I do not recall getting bit by a mosquito ever in the garden so I don't believe it was anything like that but again, I just can't say 100% as I really don't know what bit me!

I am taking a natural approach at the moment. I bought some green tea today (with cranberries! YUM!) and am hoping maybe it will help boost my system anyway, if nothing else. I heard that green, white and oolong tea, even once a week, have some mighty strong healing properties in different ways. We'll see if it helps anything. At least I feel like I am doing something even if I don't know what the problem is. Boosting your system is always good no matter what so what have I got to lose, right?

Anyway, thank you all for the leads! You just never know which one might be the answer!

Today, of course, I have another page from the Halloween Kate album! This page is similar to the quick page I did for a normal, 12x12 album. This one just has a bit less in it as it is smaller.
The quick page is in the store if you are interested! Plus, it's 30% off! :o)
The background on both of these pages (Kate album and regular quick page) is a photo I took of the moon one night.

Here is what you will be getting today:

Birthday Blog Blowout - Day 4!

Well, I received some good and bad news today. I have been having some health problems since being bitten by something in my garden almost 2 months ago. I have had pain lasting a day or two in various places on my body,(in joints and muscles), headaches, hot flashes, nausea and unbelievable fatigue. The kind where it is an effort to lift your arm, not the kind where you sleep all the time. Because the pains were fleeting, always some other joint or muscle, I was beginning to think I was going crazy! My dr finally ordered a whole panel of blood tests: Lyme Disease, red blood cells, white blood cells, kidney, liver.....the works. The results finally came in today and everything is fine. My blood shows I am healthy as a horse! Now, this should be a good thing but since I am still having problems and I KNOW I am not crazy, we have to figure out what is going on! (Good and bad, see?)

Last night hubby was talking to a woman whose garden butts up to mine. He was telling her how sick I have been and all the problems and she said her husband was bit by something in the garden as well and not long after I was, and he, too, has been really sick ever since! Now, not that him being sick makes me happy but in a way, it does! If he is having the same problems, then it is NOT in my head, I am NOT crazy and there is a reason why we both are having these problems but what the heck is it? At least I can rest easy knowing it's not Lyme Disease which is what everyone was afraid it might be.
I do know when I got bit, I swelled up and it stayed swollen for about 3 days. It has left a small spot on my face that to look at it, you would think it was just a pimple. I also had a bunch of bites on my scalp that left scabs for weeks. My neighbor's hubby had swelling as well but it sounds like his was even worse!
So why am I writing this here? Perhaps someone else has gone through this and maybe they have some ideas for me (us) on what this could be. Neither of us has any idea what bit us! Our gardens are out in the middle of farm land, in a community garden. Nothing around us but dirt, dirt and more dirt. We are surrounded by sloots (ummm, canals), where we get our water from.
There are quite a few gardens here but I haven't heard of anyone else being bitten or having these problems until last night.
Anyone else ever have this or have any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated if you could pass them my way if so!

Ok, on to the day's freebie!
Can you believe we are already half way through the blog train? I think next time I will take a slower train so I can enjoy the scenery along the way! :o)

I hope you all are enjoying the train ride so far! Thank you for the wonderful comments! They are much appreciated, even just a "thank you"! They all make me smile!

I want to remind everyone that my store is on sale for 30% off everything through Oct 8! If you have had your eye on something, now would be the time to grab it! Who knows when the next sale will be!
You can find my store HERE

I have another album page for you today. This is what you will be getting:
