Answers to Questions..
Folks ask my why am I loading to the forum and why the password. Well my other option is a site perhaps like 4shared etc. So you would follow the same steps only instead you go to the forum on the VDBC site and download. I am trying to centralize my work and time on the net so I can create create create. (I am having success with this goal as I have been creating like crazy.) So once you have registered at the forum you can continue to download the freebies by using the passwords. They change once a month rather then every time. So sometimes the forum may not even ask you for a password if you already entered it that month. :-) And that is the blah blah blah of today's post.

Feb 7th - A heart hop day 1

It's the beginning our Heart Hop. After you read through my post that I hope provides you with some inspiration for your Valentine Cards, at the bottom you will see links to the other "More Team" designers who are participating! Enjoy!

Chris

First up... Here is some inspiration I found in the gallery. 

This card below was created by Sandra from NC and posted in our gallery. The reason this card stands out to me is it is a file from a sketch challenge in the forum. Hidden within our forum is a group of sketch challenges. Monthly Ileana has been offering a new Sketch for you to create. If you were to use each of these sketches you would have 12 done for this year. But also there are an archive of Sketch Challenges which come with files and ideas and lots of projects from our forum members.

Thank you Sandra for showing this inspiration from a sketch challenge!

Next up ...  If you have a teacher in your life, a friend, a co-worker just someone who deserves a treat. This narrow bag would be perfect for a small gift of treats or cards. you can find this file HERE. Until Feb 11th Use this code when ordering CDHEARTHOP2013 to get an additional 30% off. 

 And then a freebie... This is my download for today. It is a printable Valentine. My son is in elementary school and I used to buy Valentine's. Last year I started printing my own. The amount in the box is never just right. The box choices are not so cute and my kiddo is just not happy with him. So I offer to you a Froggie Valentine to print and make your own. I hope you can use it. If you are not in an elementary school or the parent of a school child, make someone's day and print out the cards and send on to someone who may need a smile. It takes minimal effort and you will warm someone's Heart. You will find the download link below. 

Here are the rest of the ladies participating in the Heart Hop stop by their blogs.. 

And Lori is having a sale as well.

Planting seeds

Last weekend I planted some seeds. I wanted to get them rolling before the heat sets here. I had bought a flat of strawberries and used the containers like mini greenhouses so the birds dont get them and they dont get overwatered with the drain holes. The table is expanded steel and waist height so no bending. My fabulous husband built it for me a few years ago. Handy to know how to weld. Also the expanded steel is great for water and dirt to drain/fall thru. I love it. So hopefully this is a great start.

Hope you had a wonderful day!! Don't forget to stop by this weekend for our Heart Hop!

Enjoy!

Animal Moments

Our more recent animal moments. So our Freckles border collie likes to eat in private. She sneaks in the house and eats and sneaks out. She doesn't even like me to see her eat. She isn't aggressive and I can walk up to her. Just sneaky eater. Interesting.
Our fuzzy Pennzoil kitten likes to crawl up in the lap if possible. And Montelious aka Shorty prefers to sleep in the sun in a flower pot. :)

Feb 1st - SMART

It's February 1st. Time to mix up the motivation.

I saw this S.M.A.R.T. graphic at Simply Motivation on facebook. Wow awesome. Puts it in perspective for me. I need to re-evaluate every month and start fresh. A year is just to long to wait.

So no Freebie Friday today as I am working on lots for the VDBC heart hop. :-) So much better then the sock hop.  And I am taking over my blog for some goal setting and journaling.

So Some SMART goals for this month.

Health:
1) Join the Rhoads Fitness Plank Challenge. For those of you who do not have facebook. here is the direct link to the month countdown. Here is a plank image and the muscles worked.

2) Join the Simply Motivation Burpee Challenge. I have never done one of these. Had to look it up. So if you are interested in them, here is a wikipedia explanation. 

Also these two ladies, Rhoads to Fitness and Simply Motivation have great motivational Facebook pages. I have them in my newsfeed and always brings me back to remembering fitness.

Creative:
1) Create some Print and Cut files to share. (now that I have done it an actual print and cut)
2) Etch some glass
Why do I have to list these things? because I get so busy and cannot remember what the heck it was I wanted to do when I have some down time.

H&H - House and Home
1) Clean out the Dining Room and Laundry Room cabinets. (ugh)
2) Get those seeds started for the garden
3) Paint the garden arbor and wrap it in chicken wire

So I think that is it for the Feb goals list. Amongst everything else we do in life it may seem small, but gotta fit it all in.

If you have a list and want to post it here, I welcome it in the comments or in the forum thread. It's gonna be a fantastic month.

Have a wonderful weekend!
I hope you have time to Create and.....
Enjoy!
Chris
