Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

to you all. Well, it sure has been a busy month for us all and I would say its been an amazing start to the festive season, wouldn't you? With all the fantastic Blog Trains and Blog Parties and Store sales and fun and games its been the busiest Christmas time I can remember for a long time but oh....what fun we've had.

I sure hope you've enjoyed what BooLand has had to offer during this wonderful eason. Today is the last of our 4 a week new kits and samplers and I also have the great KimB CC kit for you. What a fab way to end the year folks....

So.... whats new at Booland this week? 4 Brand new Products, all on sale for this week only at 25% off AND 4 Brand new Samplers, FREE, for this week only right here so grab them while you can. Don't worry if you miss them though, you'll still be able to pick them up in the Bargain Bin for a great price. All of these are products are now available at BooLand Store and soon at SAS

We will also have matching albums to ALL of our new products for you in the New year.

First, we have a wonderful New Year kit, different to any you've seen around this year I think. This is HOGMANAY. How many of you know what Hogmanay is? I was surprised that Blossom Michelle had never heard of it so here's a little info for those of you that don't know anything about this wonderful celebration http://www.rampantscotland.com/know/blknow12.htm

We also have a beautiful kit just perfect for those more traditional New Year social events. Little Black Dress is filled with sparkle and elegance and is ideal for scrapping just about any special social gathering. Its definately one of those kits you should always have in your stash.

Just for a change, and because I think sometimes, as much as we love this wonderful time of year, we can overdo it a bit, we have a lovely summery kit for you. Lilleth was inspired by my daughter Elly and her favourite toy Tigey. She's had Tigey since she was 4 months old and to her, he is every bit as real as you and me. The kit is filled with gorgeous papers and tons of lovely summery elements that are bound to chase away any winter blues you may feel so have fun and remember, its on sale this week only at 25% off.

and finally, the last kit of the year, we have 'Into The Blue' for you. A real spring beauty to get you in the mood. This kits a whoppa and comes complete with a gorgeous matching alpha, fab papers and great elements that will have you turning out lo after lo and no two will ever be the same.


and as if that wasn't enough, to finish off this year I have yet another Freebie for you. Who said we'd let the Credit Crunch bring us down in BooLand??? NOT US... hehe

Today you can grab my KimB December CC kit and its going to stay here all the way through Jan too so you have fun.

Link Fixed ;)

Well Ladies. Thats about it for BooLand for this year. We are about to take a lovely and well earned holiday until the New year. I think my Blossoms deserve a break, hehe. We sure hope you've had fun on your visits here and we'd like to thank you each and everyone for stopping by and making our home a happy place. For those of you who visit us regualry and always leave us such wonderful comments.

You have no idea how much we appreciate YOU!

Have a wonderful and peacful Holiday. We wish you all you wish for yourselves. Please come back next year for lots more fun, freebies and bargains galore. We'll have new challenges for you. We'll be showing off all our memebrs lo's and we'll have new goodies too so keep a place for us in your diaries.

Christmas Around the World

Wohoooooo

Its definately begining to feel like Christmas around here. How many of you have got your tree and decorations up already?? I am hoping to get mine done over the weekend if I can.

When Danny and Mikey were little we used to put all the dates from the 1st to the 24th December into Jack the Hat (an old trilby from out of the dressing up box) and we would all pick out two tickets. The winner was the earliest date out of 'Jack' and that would be our 'Tree Day', hehe. We'd have a little Tree Day party with kiddy party food and Christmas music and spend the whole afternoon decorating our tree. The boys loved it.

Sadly, we lost Jack the Hat so these days I tend to just pick a day that has the least going on hahaha. Poor Elly doesn't get half the fun her big brothers used to have at Christmas but we make up for it in other ways. She gets to bake mince pies instead hehehe.

Well, today is Christmas Around the World day finally and OMG, Ladies, these Designers have truly out done themselves. There are sooooo many fantastic goodies I don't know where to begin.

*Sign up for our BooLand Yahoo Group Newsletter (link in the side bar) and you'll get even more fantastic freebie goodies, only available through our Newsletter)

Here's my little contribution and there is also a special treat for you from the Blossoms which you will find below so go grab some Christmas cheer and have lots of fun.


You'll find ALL the Christmas Around the World links and Previews HERE

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to come back on Sunday for our wonderful SAS Christmas Blog Party.

Festive hugs all round

Hello and welcome back meeeeeeeeee.... hehe!

OMG..... my pc DIED on me. The AUDACITY! lol. Its taken forever to figure out the problem which I never would have guessed. It turned out to be the actual pc itself. I had no idea that they fix them to have a 'lifespan'... Whats that all about????

Anyway, I won't bore you all with the details. Sufice to say we got it working so so in the end and I have a fab goody for you. I really thought I was going to miss this months challenge with my pal KimB but hey, life is full of little miracles isn't it.

DOWNLOAD KimB's November Challenge here.
Have fun

A couple of quickie notes. Sharon hun, thankyou so much for your good wishes. Its good to know there are folk out there looking out for me.

We have had a ton of problems with the new forum and gallery which I can only apologise for. It hasnt been helped by the fact that my pc went down either. We have decided to close them both for now while we work on them. I'll keep you posted as to our progress on that. Meanwhile, a few of you asked if I would still be doing the Booland Color Challenge. Well heck yes..... We will host it on my blog for now until we get the forum and gallery fixed. Hang in there. I am setting up a Gallery/blog just for your lo's so I'll post the info as soon as I have it and.... if I say so myself... I'm rather pleased with Decembers starter kit and PB, yummylicious is all I'm going to say, hehe.

Lynn will also run our Font challenge from the Blossoms blog and lo's for that can also be sent in for upload to our dedicated Gallery blog so keep an eye open for the links.

Ok ladies, I'll keep this post short. Enjoy and we'll see you all real soon.
Hugs
Boo and the Blossoms xx


p.s..... I have a ton of gorgeous new kits coming out in December too so watch out for some fab bargains.

Hello and welcome back everyone
Well, a little later then I had planned but finally here. I have a brand new kit in store for you.
DayBreak is filled with beautiful papers, gorgeous elements and a color combo that fits its name perfectly. It has a sort of whimsical/romantic feel to it for me perhaps because thats how I usually feel at DayBreak lol. However it makes 'you' feel, I hope its full of wonderful Inspiration.
You'll find the kit, matching Bracket Album and FREE sampler available on SALE at 25% in both Booland and SAS so wherever you prefer to shop be sure to get there while its on sale and grab yourself a super bargain.
You can also enjoy the matching sampler via my blog right here for those of you who prefer not to go through the store. Just scroll down to the image to grab it. Have fun.
grab the Sampler here or click on the preview. You can also get this via Booland and SAS stores
Enjoy

I'll be back next week with some lovely blog goodies for you.
