Friday Freebie

Well, looky here, it's Friday again. The second half of this week went pretty fast, I can't say the same for the first half. I have now completed a full week at my new position and I finished teaching my first class at Madison College. That's pretty exciting. I'm very much enjoying my new position. My new PI is just like the last, she just lets me do my thing. I feel like I'm so much more productive when that happens. I've gotten a lot done, but there is a lot left to do. But that's okay, I like being busy again, it makes the day go by so much quicker.

My class at Madison College also went fairly well. I'm not sure. I had one no show and one student that only showed up for the first day, but all the rest of my students seemed fairly happy with everything. Well I'm sure they were as happy as they could be given the limitations of the classroom. But hopefully it went well. My next class is in two weeks at night downtown, so hopefully it will be better. That means I have to go get my Faculty ID, I've been putting it off. So I'll have to make some time.

I've also been working on custom order. I had to place a bead order, so I'm getting as much done as I can before the beads come in and then I'm going to be working like a mad woman. I'll only have a month and a half to get this one done. I sure hope I can pull this one off. Fingers crossed.

But enough about that. Let's get to today's freebie.

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains 1 quick page.
 
Don't have My Memories software, don't worry about it.  You can use my promo code, STMMMS11215, to get $10 off the My Memories Software and then an additional $10 off any purchase in the store. That's a pretty cool deal. The My Memories folks have some really great scrapbooking things. And even if you don't scrapbook, the software and extras are really awesome. I don't scrapbook, but I love the software to make interesting blog post pictures. I even used it to make some labels for my homemade granola bars, so J wouldn't have to guess flavors anymore. Just use STMMMS11215 to get the discounts.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and stay creative.

Friday Freebie

Well, I haven't done one of these in a long time. It's been a crazy week. I ended my position in my old lab and I started my position in my new lab. It's been a transition, but luckily my new PI kinda let's me do my thing because I've done this a few times before. I'm glad she trusts me enough to let me go on my own. It's made the transition a lot easier. And hopefully I'll be able to get back into working on a project as soon as the lab is all set up.

Hmm, what else? The weather has cooled down quite a lot here. 80°F on Monday and 59°F today. And it's October, so we all know what that means, HALLOWEEN. I've had my Halloween decorations up for a while now, but with the cooler weather, it seems to much more real. I still have a few more things to do (because I love Halloween and I love to decorate for it), but the majority of things are done. Now to just get that costume finished. Another thing to add to the list of what needs to get done.

But enough about that, let's get to that freebie, and it's a Halloween one. 

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains 1 quick page.

Weekend Wrap Up

Oh Monday, here we are again.  But I can't really complain, I kinda like Mondays.  I seem to get a lot more work done on Mondays then any other day of the week.  And I'm gonna need a day to catch up, this was the most unproductive weekend in a long time.

First off, as most of you know, it was Halloween.  We're not really into going out and partying any more on Halloween.  It's fun at times, but most years we celebrate at home while handing out candy.  I know, we're lame, but I'm okay with that.

The best part about staying home is little Yoda get's all dressed up and get's to help hand out candy.  This year she was a little bee, with light up wings.  She's always such a good sport.  She wore that costume until 11 o'clock at night.

We also made Halloween cookies.  Well, I made the dough, and J took over from there.  He cut out the cookies and decorated them.  I'm pretty proud of him, not many men would do that.  But, they were his idea, so I guess he probably felt obligated.  I'm not going to complain, who wouldn't want their significant other making them cookies.

Let's see what else did we do?  Oh yeah we stopped by a friend's house to see their new kitten.  Oh he is an adorable little cutie. I didn't get any photos of him, he really wasn't that into sitting still for more then half a second.  That's a kitten for you.

Unfortunately, my body didn't really react that well to a new kitten and I was down for the count all Sunday.  It's amazing that just a couple hours spent with a tiny little kitten would make me have such a sever allergy attack.  But he did and I didn't really move off the couch all day Sunday.  The allergy attack morphed into a severe migraine and it was all over for me.  Luckily I feel much better now and I'm ready to get all the things I should have gotten done yesterday, today!

So how did everyone else spend Halloween?   Did you dress up and go out on the town?  Did you stay home and hand out candy?  Or did you shut off all your lights and wait for this holiday to be over?

Check back tomorrow for some updates on beady goodness.  I have one project done, one almost done, and one started.  I know, that's pretty vague, but that just means you'll have to come back.

Friday Freebie

Well, well, well, it's Friday already.  It was a cold, wet week here, but the sun is finally shining and I believe we're supposed to have a stretch of nice weather.  Which will be nice since this whole week we've seen nothing but rain.  Since fall is in full swing here in Wisconsin, my allergies have been atrocious.  I suffer from year round allergies, but the rainy seasons always make them worse.  So, I welcome a break in the rain.  Well I would anyway, but this gives me a little relief from the sinus pressure.

I've been busy working away at custom orders still.  Working on a gauntlet or two.  I've also almost finished up the last planet needed for my solar system project.  I hoping to complete that this weekend.  Then I have a couple ideas for my next projects.  Exciting.

But enough about all of that, let's got to today's freebie!

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains four quick pages.
