Freebie - Touch of Blue_Cobalt - elements

Long day! 10am roofer arrived to look at roof. Says there are a lot of "nail pop-ups" to be fixed. A few minutes for 1/2 cup coffee and insurance man arrives. Roof problem considered "normal wear & tear" and not covered by policy. Ceiling damage estimated at a little over $1,000. After deductible I get check for $742. Time for a bathroom break then I sit down at PC to finish my coffee and doorbell rings again! It was Dad and June on way back from radiation therapy. Had to look up a tax form for Dad, packed up some more of John's homemade chicken soup for June and we visited for awhile. Then it's time to finish up my now cold coffee and head to bank and grocery store. I want to use my home equity loan to pay roofer but am out of the checks. Since I don't have a specific amount I need, checks have to be ordered and will take 10 days. However, if I get a firm quote, I can go back to bank and they will draft a check for needed amount. I decided I'd pop into one of the nearby thrift stores to see if they might have something dressy in red I can wear to the Snowball Express in December. Since I''m not a size 8-10 anymore, it's not easy to find nice thrift clothes in my size and I don't want to spend a lot on something I'll wear once. Nope, no red bargains. However, I found a lovely black velvet gown with beading that should fit and I got excited thinking I could use it for the "Black and Bling" night at upcoming Cary event. Found a purple shirt with thin gold stripe that should fit so that's another for my Red Hat wardrobe. Then I saw the cutest vintge hat. It's one of those open work hats that were popular netween 30's - 50's. Black velvet with some dusty purple moire. This could work with the black dress. I'm so pleased that the total is only $27! Later, as I e-mailed Mary to confirm our Hobby Lobby shopping trip, I'm telling her about my finds and it hits me - the Cary event will be in the summer! BLack velvet sure won't work. Oh well. I'm sure some other Red Hat event will come up I can use it for lol. And now those Cobalt elements:

Another Saturday, another freebie

It's another saturday already! This month is flying by. Hubby & I are still watching the NCAA basketball tournament, March Madness & some of the N.I.T. as well. Both of us aren't doing much else. The weather dropped back to chilly and old injuries and arthritis act up when that happens. Yesterday we took my car and dropped it off for state inspection, then went to lunch at Golden Corral. Afterward, I tried to schedule a post but internet connection was down so instead I took a long, long nap. Anyway, I'm not ignoring those of you who have complained that 4shared is asking you to wait 1000 seconds for a download. That amazed me as I never have to wait more than 20 seconds. However, I then noticed that at least one of the people who told me this was overseas. The suggestion to use dropbox is good but I have to check into it further. I have a lot of zips to be loaded to another server which is time consuming. Also, I only have the free dropbox as I have limited income and I don't remember what restriction it has in terms of amount I can upload. Perhaps I can combine some zips and do it that way. Will let you know more next week, okay? Meanwhile, today I have a package I think you will really like. It contains a vanity I created using a template that is still available from my friend, Felice, of Felice Originals, which she called Vintage Dresser. Here is her preview:
