Shabby Princess has a new Freebie!

Yes, I’m loving the scrapbooking freebies I’ve been finding.

And no, I haven’t yet used any of them.

But I’m not letting that stop me from filling up my hard drive!

And now Shabby Princess has released a new free kit, I’m in heaven. She says it’s probably the largest free kit so far, and it’s called “Happy Go Lucky“.

What Noise Do Mooses Make?

A great big sloppy thank you kiss goes out today to Willow, who is responsible for my first ever tagging.

I feel like a moose or something.

And no comments about my back end, thank you. We had quite enough of that earlier this week.

As I said, my first thought was of animal tagging, and then I read about something new: Animal tags for people.

Sounds charming.
Is that what you have in mind for me, Willow?

Regardless, here are the 5 beautifully babbling bloggers that I have chosen to tag myself.

1. Trish, for being such a lovely person.
2. Tonya, because I know she’s going through a lot right now.
3. Pauline, who is a very busy girl and needs more stuff to do like a hole in the head.
4. Melisa, my amigurumi guru. ~ Go find out what that word means…
5. Andrea, a blogging newbie who really needs to be corrupted by us crazies.

You have all been tagged, and should expect shortly to be sent to the Kidzarama wildlife preserve in Kenya.

And yes, I know the plural form of moose is moose.
But I still want to know what sound they make.

Digi~Scrapbooking Giveaway Winner

Well, it’s been a busy, interesting week here at the UpsideDownHouse.

We’ve had hosting nightmares, a blog makeover going on in the background, a little visitor (who was a pain in the hooha), the June Kraft for Kidz blog carnival, and some freaky parenting photos in my inbox.

Hopefully, our hosting nightmares are over for now.
Although due to the lack of support we got from our current hosts, we are definitely on the lookout for new ‘premises’.

If you can heartily recommend a hosting service with A1 support, please drop me an email…

And now to the reason you’ve all tuned in today…

The drawing of the digi~scrapbooking giveaway winner, who will also be the subject of a devoted and loving linkfest blog review from yours truly later on this week.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who got involved and sent in a snap and made this such a fun event for the kidz!

Wren and Mr Bump quite enjoyed the judging event. I’ll have to get them some special judging hats for next time. Unfortunately I didn’t have the camera charged and ready to catch their expressions, but I promise to be much better prepared next time.

Choosing a winner for the competition was a tough pick for our distinguished judges, but in the end it was this picture that had them in fits of giggles…

Little Bethany here is learning the hard way about why we don’t eat sand. This is, of course, a very familiar sight to just about every parent on the planet.

Her mother Tracey says that “For a few weeks we tried desperately to keep up with her and stop her from putting it in her mouth. She finally wore us out.”

So now Tracey, you have a task:
You need to visit Designs by Krista to make your choice from the many beautiful digital scrapbooking kits she has available!

Good luck, because it will be tough choosing I think…
