There will be no DAD for November due to us fixing all the hiccups in the store and Forum but that doesn't mean you won't get some great goodies right here on my blog so be sure to pop back often as you never know when I'll be in that 'generous' mood, hehe.

SASy LIVE CHAT

Meanwhile, please DON'T forget our fantastic first LIVE CHAT in the SASy chat room tomorrow. Yes, even I will be there and I can promise you, we have a ton of gorgeous goodies for you. Even our fearless and somewhat mysterious leader, JulieO is coming in for a chat so be sure to get there nice and early and grab a seat. Its going to get pretty busy lol.

And a little reminder. We are having a MONSTEROUS SALE over at SAS. Everyone is putting their SASy Stores on sale for a HUGE 50%. Now thats something to get excited about isn't it.
Well girls. I'm off to put on my green makeup and black dress. Elly and I are going to my sisters for some Trick or Treating. Elly is going as Darth Vador and I am going as Elpha'boo' from Wicked hehe. I think the name fits me perfectly, don't you?

Hopefully, I'll get some good photos so watch this space.

Until tomorrow, have a good Halloween

Hugs

Its such a thrill to know you've recieved an award and I've been very slack getting them up but please bear with me, as soon as I get the store/forum sorted, you'll see them appearing. Big hugs to you all for thinking of me.

Your DADs for the Weekend and Forum news

Hello and welcome back everyone.

WOW, can you believe we are nearly at the end of our October DADs? Its been a crazy kind of a month here in BooLand but we are begining to see the light at last.

We have a Brand new and fully functional Gallery that we hope you will all love. Whats more, we have our very own forum also up and working. You only need to register in one of them to be automatically registerd in the other which is great news isn't it?

Of course, there are bound to be some hiccups along the way. Does't every new house have settling cracks lol. I'm sure we'll be no exception but I have NO DOUBTS our fab booland members will excuse the odd 'baby burp' while we make Booland a hip and fun place to be.

First hiccup is that as yet we do not have a working link from the Blog here to the forum but thats being fixed. Meanwhile, to get in and register, simply click on the GALLERY in the header and you'll be able to navigate from there. We can't wait to welcome you all to our home. Fresh tea and scones are on the table so please make yourselves at home.

Oh, and we want YOUR suggestions. If you think of something that you feel would add to the fun at BooLand, please let us know.

And since its the weekend, I have for you your weekend DAD's, all available now through our store so do pop along and grab yourwelf some goodies.

and here is our week 3 review. Cool huh? What a lot of yummilicious goodness. And all for FREE.

A little note for you. Keep your eyes on SAS next week. We have some FANTASTIC stuff going on. Can't tell you more yet but believe me, its ALL GOOD... heheheh

Until next week, have fun and enjoy a great weekend.

Hugs

Gallery and Forum Update...

Hello and Welcome back...

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I have some important news for you all regarding our new Gallery and Forum.

As you know, the gallery we had originally was very difficult to navigate and upload to. As a result of the messages we got regarding the problems we decided to invest in a much better 'user friendly' Gallery and we also decided to add a Forum for all of our members at Booland. A nice happy place for us all to meet and keep up with the various things going on here.

Unfortunately, these plans have not gone as smoothly as we'd hoped. We have discovered after much difficulty that the current gallery has to be completely 'deleted' for us to be able to install and set up the new and better gallery. This means sadly that all of the lo's in there now will be lost. We have tried desperately to find a way to save them and transfer them over to the new gallery but this is not possible so please accept my deepest apologies to all of you who have spent time uploading your wonderful lo's so far and for those of you who have entered our challenges too. We feel just awful that you took time to do this and they will now be lost

BUT

The good news is that once the old gallery is gone and the new gallery installed, it will be MUCH EASIER to find your way around, set up your galleries and upload your fab lo's and we sincerely hope you will do just that. We have done this for YOU, our wonderful members and we truly hope you'll feel the extra little time involved will be well worth the effort. Once the Gallery is set up, the new Forum will also be ready to enter. You will find all our challenges and lots of other things there as well. We are sure you'll enjoy your time there.

As soon as everything is ready to go, I will let you all know. Meanwhile PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD TO THE GALLERY.

Thank you all so very much for your understanding.

Now, we have previews for yesterdays and todays DAD's for you and a little review of week 2's DAD's.

ALL of our DAD's are available via the store so please just pop along there and go to your Daily Download Catagory.

Week Two in Review
Have fun. Back tomorrow with DAD 22.

Hugs

We're growing.....

Hello and welcome back every one...

Well, you may have noticed we've grown another leaf in our header! Yes, we now have our very own BooLand Forum where we can all get together for chit chat, challenges, fun and games.

Wohoooooooooooooo

Ok, so its empty at the moment lol but hang in there. We are just waiting for our brand new, easy to navigate Gallery to arrive some time next week and we will be charging ahead with a whole host of great things. For now, the leaf is not clickable but as soon as we have everything in place I'll let you know and you can pop along to register and so on... Exciting stuff huh!

and since its Friday and we have Jess with us this weekend I've added all three DADs to the store for you to collect as I won't be around much until Monday. Have fun.

I wanted to bring to your attention this gorgeous brand new kit by Bren of Millstream Cottage over at SAS. She and some friends have put it together in aid of US Navy boys over in the gulf.

It's only $3.00 and 75% of that will be used to make holiday boxes of every day items for the sailors on the USS Ramage currently serving in the Persian Gulf.

Its a super cause and a stunning kit so pop along to her SAS store to grab it here

Find out more about the kit and what its for here

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. We can't wait to see you in the BooLand Forum and don't forget, you can find more Apple Orchard goodies over on the Blossoms Blog.

Fantastic Fireworks....

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend. As you know, I was headed toward the Marine Lake in town for the annual British Musical Firework Championship Event. Its set over 3 days, usually two shows per night but this year we celebrated 10 years of the show (and I'm proud to say I've attended every single one, lol) so it was extra special with all the previous winners attending. So on Saturday we had 3 sets.

OMG, Friday was soooooooooooo cold my poor mum had to go home before the show even started. She was BLUE. I had Elly wrapped up in huge coat and a blanket but I thought my fingers were going to drop off lol. Still, I was not going to give in to the cold and stayed to the end and it was well worth it. The two shows were absolutely fantastic.

Saturday was almost as bad. We got soaked to the skin. The rain poured down but it didn't stop people venturing out to enjoy the shows which again, were totally breath taking but.... Sunday... oh Sunday was perfect. The weather was fantastic, calm and warm and clear as a bell and the fireworks were the best I have ever ever seen in my life. What a fantastic end to a great weekend. I'm so lucky we have this event in our little town.



I still don't know who won though I have my favourites. I am attempting to upload some of the videos I shot to YouTube but they are pretty BIG so I may not be lucky. That would be such a shame because I would love for you to see just why I get so excited. They really are spectacular.



Anyway. If they upload ok, I'll edit this post with a link. Believe me, you won't be sorry you took a moment to pop on over and have a look.

*Edit* Well, I promised you a link and here it is. I hope you enjoy this little segment and I do mean 'little'. This was just one tiny part of just one of the shows on Sunday night. I just couldn't get any more on without editing the film and I just ain't that good hehe.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=m3i_Lc1DGtk

If you enjoyed it, please do leave a comment there. Thanks. By the way, these came joint 3rd so does that tell you how good the winners were???

Ok. WOW, well the DAD's are proving popular and I'm so thankful we managed to fix the problems in the end. A huge thank you to our Michelle and to Lori over at SAS who was a star coming to the rescue. I hope and pray we have ironed out most of the kinks but as with most things, that is never really possible is it so please bear with us. We are trying our best.

DAD 6 is now available in the store. Pop on over and grab it quick. Also, we will have a little blog freebie for you later on in the week. A little clue..... KimB..... hehehe, saying nothing more. You'll have to keep checking.

Don't forget to check out my SASy October Color Challenge too. I've a great Starter Kit to get you going. Its free for October and available at SAS. And the fab SAS news letter is also available now. If I find the link, I'll pop it in. Otherwise, get on over to SAS for it because it ALWAYS has tons of 'goodies' in it hehe.

And finally, our very own Blossom Font Challenge. Come on ladies. Get on over to the Blossoms blog and grab that font. I cannot WAIT to see what you come up with.

Hugs
