This one takes us way back

This was my second freebie kit. I still really liked the way it turned out. This is truly a freebie kit, because it is for sale in my store, but is yours totally free until I post the next one.So, who can tell me what my inspiration was for this color palette? Since it is the 7th of November, I am going to take the 7th right response and give them a prize. (don't look at the number of comments to see how many there are, there could be more that I just have not moderated yet. They are not published until I ok them.) What do you win if you are lucky number 7? How about this cute little set of hair barrettes? Ok, they are yours if you are lucky #7 with the correct answer.

My Favorite Color is Red

That was fun. Sarah @ Life{Sweet}Life was the first with the correct response. Email me your address there in Oklahoma (see, I go and read your guy's blogs when you comment, I like to get to know you all a little better) and I will get that apron out to you.
So, should we get the party started?! Guess what I am going to give you all. During this month I am going to regive ALL of my mini kits that go with a larger kit in the store. That is right, I said ALL of them. I know some of you are not fans of the idea that I expire the links after a few weeks, but it really does make life a little easier for me. But now, if you have been wanting to get your hands on a freebie kit that is expired you can. However, there is a catch. Because I have so many mini kits, I cannot host them all at once. SO, HERE IS THE CATCH.....The link for the mini kit will only be good until the next mini kit is posted. And since there are so many, I will most likely be posting one a day (except Sunday). So that means you will only have 24 HOURS to get your hands on the mini kit ☻ Just think of it as a crazy party game.
Let the games begin. The first one is Wish You Were Here, that actually comes from blog train I was part of earlier this summer. Enjoy. LINK EXPIRED
REMEMBER, THE LINK TO DOWNLOAD THIS FREEBIE IS
ONLY GOOD UNTIL THE NEXT MINI KIT IT POSTED

Grab you some elements

Here are the elements for the Expecting Joy kit. I have decided to call this my 1 year birthday month instead of anniversary. Anniversary sounds like I am married to Piccolina Designs ♥ ☺ I will admit at times when I am trying to get a new kit done or some freebies made for you it feels like I am married to my computer and photoshop ☹ But most of the time I really enjoy doing this. Plus anniversary sounds more intimate, like something only two people should be celebrating and I want to celebrate with everyone!!! So we are going to have a BIRTHDAY PARTY all month long. YOUR ARE ALL INVITED. Everyone will get a goodie bag (some freebies, of course) and some of you will get some gifts. Like I said in the last post, you will want to make yourself a follower or check back often so you don't miss out on the GOODIES.
Why don't we get started with gifts now?! Who wants this APRON? How do you get it? It is pretty easy, just be the first person to leave a comment telling me what my favorite color is. No, I do not have pregnancy brain and forgot my favorite color, I just want to see if you all have been paying attention. Clue: there is a post that is titled "NEW COLOR!!!MY FAVORITE!!!"
I plan on doing other giveaways like this, so be sure to check back often. We have a lot to do this month, so we are going to be doing it pretty quickly. I hope you have fun.

November is a {SPECIAL} month!!!

First, did you notice the change in the right hand sidebar? You can now buy the expired Color My World kits right from my blog. It goes through PayPal, so it is safe and secure. And if you do not have a PayPal account, the shopping cart will allow a credit/debit card purchase. I am just so excited to be offering these to you finally. I have had several requests for them and have not been able to get them into the store, but found this solution instead.

Now, I know it is not very good business sense to tell you this, but you might want to wait a little on purchasing those. Why? Because NOVEMBER IS A SPECIAL MONTH!!! Do any of you know why? Maybe some of you faithful followers do. This is the month that Piccolina Designs got started 1 year ago!!! And I plan on celebrating it in style. THERE will be a sale on my products. A VERY GOOD sale. But it will be a short sale, so I recommend you become a FOLLOWER of my blog so that you do not miss it. There will also be LOTS of giveaways (one in particular I am so excited about), and yes a LAYOUT CONTEST. So go ahead and get a layout done using 80% Piccolina Designs stuff so that you will be ready. This is going to be fun and will last the rest of this month. Happy 1st Anniversary to all my loyal followers.

Now for you freebie for today. This is a TWO PART freebie. You will get the papers today. Be sure to COME BACK to get the elements.

The second part of Spring Fever

Here is the 2nd part of my three part mini kit giveaway celebrating morning sickness !!! This is one of my favorite kits that I did. I hope you all like it as well.

There is a reason....

....that I have not been posting as often, or handing out as many freebies, or making as many new kits, or getting much done for that matter. Let's see if you can guess the reason. Here is a clue:Hopefully you all understood the clue. Morning sickness is the reason and it has been even worse the last week and a half. Not fun, but a good sign that all is going well with the little one inside. I am hoping to be over morning sickness here in a few weeks and get back to creating and crafting. I miss it so much, and the little I have been able to do wears me out.....my husband thinks I sleep all the time (and I do it seems like).
I made this page using my Spring Fever freebies and my Expecting Joy kit. To celebrate with you all I am giving you the Spring Fever freebies (2 mini kits) and the Expecting Joy mini kit again. Be sure to come back at visit to get all three of these mini kits. Enjoy.

And the winners are.....

Of course you all already know who they are just by looking at the results of the poll in right hand column. Nederland (Margret) with a whopping 60 votes and the honorable mention is Slumber (Jo) with 42 votes. So ladies, go ahead and send me you kit choices (3 for Margret and 1 for Jo)
