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!

Connie

Fall Fan Survey - link updated and thank you!

 Sorry for the survey link not working earlier today.  I've made some adjustments and everything is up and working properly now.  We appreciate your time and help! 


Here's an extra freebie from Connie's team to make up for the extra view/time!




Something New: Happy Mail and a request for your help....

 With today being the first day of a new month this isn't going to be your typical Sunday blog post so grab your comfy spot, maybe snag a snack and your favorite beverage of choice and let's dive into it!

The beginning of the month means that the Ginger Scraps Buffet Sale has kicked off and Connie's newest release is bringing joy and spreading happiness. 




A new month also means new challenges are up and running at your favorite scrapping hangouts.  Over at Ginger Scraps Connie is the host of the #2026 Challenge where you can snag her #2026 November min-kit for free and craft a lovely layout.  You can stick with using just the mini-kit or mix it with #2026 November for even more scrapping goodness.

Connie and I would like your help with a short survey. Now that we've gotten a few months of the CTM spotlight completed we'd like to hear what you think. We appreciate you taking the time to fill out the survey and help us out!


(Created with #2026 November)


Thank you for your time and thanks for stopping by the blog today! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday ahead. Here is a freebie from CTM Penny created with Happy Mail.

#2026 November {NEW} + FREEBIE

  It's hard to believe but we're at the next to last new #2026 kit!  November is arriving in full glory on Sunday and Connie has the perfect solution to get you started on your November layouts!  


Celebrate a month of togetherness and gratitude with #2026 November! A rich palette of orange, red, rust, gold, green, brown, and creamy white captures the warmth of late autumn and sets the scene for preserving your November memories. From family gatherings and Thanksgiving feasts to everyday blessings, this collection is filled with heartfelt seasonal charm.

Traditional favorites like roasted turkey, pumpkin pie, and a cornucopia mingle with a gratitude journal, recipe box, autumn window scene, and beautiful flowers. Ribbons, ephemera, and coordinating accents add lovely layers, while sentiments such as “Count Your Blessings,” “Everyday Blessings,” and “Together Time” help tell your stories. Whether you’re documenting treasured traditions or quiet moments of thankfulness, #2026 November brings a welcoming touch to every page.





I know that I'm going to be spending time indoors this weekend because of the rain.  This will be the perfect opportunity to start on my layout for Connie's challenge over at Ginger Scraps and to also get my siggy ready to update on Sunday.  What plans do you have for this weekend?

I'm going to jump off here for now and leave you with this rugged Word Art Freebie from CTM Kelly that she made with Into the Cave.


Have a great weekend!
~Susan~
