#2026 November, Happy Mail, and November CTM Spotlight Set #1

I hope that the link issues earlier this week didn't discourage any of you from visiting the blog and interacting with the posts.  While I'd like to say I know what caused the issues, I have no idea, only that I figured out a way to fix the links going back to a certain point. 

Connie's newest #2026 collection debuted in stores this week.  Have you checked it out?

The November Buffet Sale is going on at Ginger Scraps and Connie's Happy Mail kit is gorgeous!!

What was the beginning of your scrapbooking journey?

Since the kiddos live far away from the grandparents, I started putting together scrap-pages that told the story.  Started with paper and didn't get very far.  While looking for clipart, I stumbled across digital scrapbooking and GingerScraps and Connie Prince.  Since everything was digital, so I was able to send them books.

You mentioned scrapping to share the everyday stories of your kids to share with their grandparents.  What would you like to share about your family?

I'm married and have two children; a girl-child (22) and a boy-child (19).

Link issue resolved from 11/2 back to 10/13

Sorry for the technical issues today!  I'm still not sure what gremlin got into Google Drive and played havoc with over a month's worth of freebie and form links but I think I've updated and adjusted all the freebie links and the survey link from 10/13 - 11/2.  Everyone should have access to download those freebies and complete the Fall Fan Survey.  

Connie and I are working on clearing out freebies prior to 10/13.  The original intent was freebies would be available for about 2 weeks and then we need to clear out those files to make room for new freebies.  I had gotten a little lazy in housekeeping and some of the older files had been sitting on the server past their expiration date.  I'm not saying that caused this issue but it was a tangled up mess in there so it's time to clear files out and reset. 

Thank you for everyone that was patient and understanding that I couldn't jump into fix it mode while I was at work.  I appreciate all of you and hope the rest of this week goes smoother over here on Connie's blog.  Those cute gremlins have been banished back into their boxes for now.  I think they had enough fun data diving for a while.

Notice - Freebie Download Issue Update

 Hi Readers!

It seems we've had a snafu with some of the recent freebie downloads.  Susan is at work today and then teaches piano afterwards.  She will look into the issue later today, if she's able.

I appreciate your kindness and understanding!

Thank you!
