Batty Halloween …. first .ai freebie file

August 3, 2007 By Chris Durnan

NEW WPC FILE IS UP! I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM, I THINK! WOOHOO!! This file is no longer available, but may be purchased from Paperthreads soon.

Okay.. so a little ahead of the holidays, but I was working on some Halloween items and thought I would share. There is a bat border. and a bat card front. This piece is just a square with the bat cut outs. So you can use it on a scrapbook layout or cut it and paste it on a card so the color shows through the bats. and a couple extra bats for embellishment.

I am still working on all the wordbooks and keeping an eye on my blog visits. So when we hit 100,000. I can mark the following day with a celebration!!! Which means lots of files to you!!

Okay and as for downloads. Tell everyone who wants to know and has asked me repeatedly… Today is my first day offering the.. This file is no longer available, but may be purchased from Paperthreads soon.
. So here are the download links. I will have to review how many files get downloaded from each. It seems the .ai file can be used for Mac users, Illustrator users and others. So it will be interesting to see how many downloads it gets.

If you ever feel like you have a question, just email me and I will try to get to all of the emails. One of the email request I don’t get to very often are.. I missed the file.. I totaled up all the requests for people who missed the file from the last 25 days … 422 requests for various files that people missed. I apologize if you missed it. If I spent the time filling all the requests. I wouldn’t get another file up. I am not trying to be rude or uncaring. If you missed one, please consider purchasing it at Paperthreads. I had a huge sale in June and will probably have another one before the end of the year, but I havent nailed it down as to when. If you don’t get a response to your missed file request this is why. Please keep visiting. I try to be regular about my downloads and only let life and family interfere.

on to happier thoughts… Today is Friday!! Thank gooodnesssss. I am ready for the weekend. Lots of fun things to do. We are supporting a local neighbor girl with her 4-h pig project. So we are going with her to pick out a pig to take to all the fairs which we are purchasing. Pretty Cool. I think 4-H is phenomenal and teachs responsibility. Some may not agree, but I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin with the love of it, and I think it is a wonderful organization.

Oh any My Nan many have asked about… is going through Chemo and seems to be holding her own. And my MIL is home right now and learning how to deal with the life after having heart 4x bypass surgery and a pacemaker put in. Thank you to everyone for their positive thoughts. and prayers.

Sunday a.m. my hubby is golfing… so that means… Sunday p.m. is my crafting afternoon. Woooohooo! I have some new organization things to hang in my craft room. I bought a magnetic tool bar to put some of my tools on and a few other things. I am getting a new cabinet so I need to get in there and clean the place out and get it organized again. It seems to go through phases. organized and then a mess and the cycle continues! so I am looking forward to getting out there. I cut files constantly, but to just have an afternoon truly in the craft room. to cut some fun projects and clean it up etc that is awesome. And I am looking forward to it. I hope everyone gets some time to be crafty this weekend. I would love any pictures of my files you create! I am going to try to post them on my blog more often in the left bar. so if you have any send them my way!!

Enjoy!

Chris

    Hi Chris –
    I am happy to hear I am not the only one who goes thru clean and messy phases in my craft area. I love to work on stuff when it is clean. I’m not so creative and sometimes, even, overwhelmed when it is ‘dirty’. My area is in a corner of the great room because we still have kids in bedrooms, so my clean comes at a price. When we have company, everything is stuck in drawers, stacked in a closet, or put in a laundry basket and hidden in our closet out of sight. I enjoy reading about you and your life. Makes me feel more ‘normal’ in my crazy life. I love the files you create. Keep up the great work.

    Hi Chris.
    Wow I am very green with envy, of all your talent. Like I said before, I wait for the daily file, even going to the lobby of the hotel I was in to download (wireless computer). So once again a big thank you for all the files and I am looking forward to a sale. I get to say to DH, see they are on sale. Oh yes I was thinking of a little book for my preschool kids, Something with an all about Me themes, for back to school time? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again for all of the great files, I really appreciate them. Nina
