As are so many of you, I have been going through some tough changes the past couple of years...the kind that just when you think things are leveling out, the rug is pulled out from under you...over and over and over again. I'm not saying this to illicit sympathy, just to explain my absence for the past few months, for those of you who care, for those of you have followed me since I've started blogging.<br /><br />As you will quickly see, coping with CHANGE is on my mind, and that's what my word art gift to you reflects. I wrote this highlighted piece of word art just as a reminder to me about keeping my eyes on God through all these struggles. Looking up...so my outlook will be brighter, if you know what I mean. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZS836qCpVho/TonBTEIZwfI/AAAAAAAACno/792Uld95IcM/s1600/MMDCrocky.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZS836qCpVho/TonBTEIZwfI/AAAAAAAACno/792Uld95IcM/s400/MMDCrocky.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659266940038398450" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Np6qRi4yGLU/TonBS2oGwFI/AAAAAAAACng/utlVUaMpiYU/s1600/2011-preview.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Np6qRi4yGLU/TonBS2oGwFI/AAAAAAAACng/utlVUaMpiYU/s400/2011-preview.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659266936413274194" /></a><br /><br />Hope you can use these.

Your VOICES now have the power to get more of them, you just must let me know, please. <br /><br />I will be getting back to more traditional word art soon, so please bear with me! As always, I remind you that you are receiving all this word art free of charge; if you can find it in your heart to pass along a donation in return some time, it would be much, much appreciated.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CL_2PTan3Ug/TaIj0XyX66I/AAAAAAAACnM/wXamb6CT8K4/s1600/2011-preview.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CL_2PTan3Ug/TaIj0XyX66I/AAAAAAAACnM/wXamb6CT8K4/s400/2011-preview.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594073069793045410" /></a><br /><br />Blessings on your day!<br />Melanie<br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/ozpPJWUa/MMDCAlphaSpeaking7.html"><strong>download</strong></a>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-23357486644860280732011-04-02T21:50:00.004-05:002011-04-02T21:54:27.875-05:00Here's Alphabetically Speaking 6 freebie word artIt's been more than a month since I last posted.

However, while on the road, coming and going, my brain always wanders to creative stuff, or making lists of things I need to do. This time around, just about every time I got in the car, my mind was making more lists of these word sets. So, my original thought of making just 3 sets, has expanded considerably!<br /><br />Here's the FOURTH set:<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TdLWI0JZDV0/TWd1T6dupoI/AAAAAAAACm0/AeMlR_5-TsM/s1600/2011-preview.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TdLWI0JZDV0/TWd1T6dupoI/AAAAAAAACm0/AeMlR_5-TsM/s400/2011-preview.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577555648493561474" /></a><br /><br />Happy Friday!<br />Melanie<br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/ufs9SdDZ/AlphaSpeaking4.html"><strong>download</strong></a>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-67065830456515299552011-02-11T02:09:00.003-06:002011-02-11T02:14:00.265-06:00Alphabetically Speaking 3 freebie setHope you're enjoying these?<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B41erJ4iHvo/TVTvOuqUStI/AAAAAAAACms/7G3fNuK2oko/s1600/2011-preview.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B41erJ4iHvo/TVTvOuqUStI/AAAAAAAACms/7G3fNuK2oko/s400/2011-preview.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572341675286874834" /></a><br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br />Melanie<br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/As5NEAfG/AlphaSpeaking3.html"><strong>download</strong></a>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-9113617002039214952011-02-04T16:48:00.005-06:002011-02-04T22:42:15.118-06:00Alphabetically Speaking 2 freebie setHere's <em>Alphabetically Speaking 2</em>, as promised.

Suffice it to say that I did get some digi-scrapbooking done for a friend in North Carolina (Hi, Jessie!) which is a wonderful distraction and outlet for stress (not to mention a feeling of accomplishment).<br /><br />Today's word art set is based on the alphabet. I challenged myself to sit down with a sheet of paper, divided into 3 columns, and wrote down random words beginning with each letter of the alphabet. The challenge was to stick with what I wrote down--the first words that came to me. Some you may not often see in the word art you collect, so hopefully, it provides you with a challenge as well! It makes life interesting, KWIM? :)<br /><br />Here is the first set of words of the <em>ALPHABETICALLY SPEAKING</em> series (download link below):<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TUbbSyfppZI/AAAAAAAACmE/LjO2c645ko8/s1600/2010-preview.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568379105128850834" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TUbbSyfppZI/AAAAAAAACmE/LjO2c645ko8/s400/2010-preview.png" /></a> <div></div>I would enjoy hearing about or seeing what you've done with some of these, and hope they inspire taking a fresh look at your photos. My goal is to have the other two sets posted within the next week.<br /><br />Blessings on your day,<br />Melanie<br /><br /><div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/wvzDflnQ/AlphaSpeaking1.html">download</a></span></strong></div>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-89555688652077407672011-01-02T08:41:00.004-06:002011-01-02T08:50:20.037-06:00Hello, 2011 ... with freebiesHere's an 8-piece set of <strong><span style="color:#993399;"><em>2011<span style="font-size:130%;">A</span>new</em></span></strong> word art; a New Year is always an opportunity for reflection and renewal, with those pesky resolutions we always make.<br /><br />Actually, I quit making them several years ago; another "fear of failure" thing.

And bone-weary. My brain fog hasn't lifted yet. And I promised myself I wouldn't whine.<br /><br />My mom has been with us for more than a month now, on doctor-ordered bedrest. I took her back home over the past weekend, and she decided to stay because she was homesick. I worry about her, but my other siblings can help out with her back home again. They finally scheduled her surgery for after Christmas, so she has awhile to go before she can get off the "bedrest" thing. I suspect that she will try to do some of her quilting while none of us are around to remind her she shouldn't be sitting up; but it's hard to be bossy with your mom, KWIM?!<br /><br />It was difficult to spend much time on the computer when my mom was here because she needed a bit more companionship and she had to eat something every couple of hours because of her diabetes, to keep everything regulated. I tried to meet her whims (all reasonable) but she had some funny cravings that kept me busy. Guess I may have spoiled her but that's okay.<br /><br />It feels weird not having her here now. Sort of like having a child going to camp or something, I guess.<br /><br />In between all of the coming and going and fixing and caretaking, I got to my computer and put together (eventually!) a sequel to last month's word art set: <em><strong>Music to Scrap By 2</strong></em> is here for you today, if you'd like. <strong>It's available for free, but if you find it in your heart to donate something, I would be incredibly grateful.</strong> <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TN0mnLEHhXI/AAAAAAAAClg/lgokAoPwnkY/s1600/MMDC-MusictoScrap2-prev.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538625571162391922" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TN0mnLEHhXI/AAAAAAAAClg/lgokAoPwnkY/s400/MMDC-MusictoScrap2-prev.png" /></a> Hope you like it...blessings on your day,<br />Melanie<br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/GSJy_TGz/MMDC_Music_to_Scrap_By_2.html">download</a></strong></span></div>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-2897155913067829282010-10-24T06:49:00.005-05:002010-10-24T06:58:42.029-05:00Music to Scrap By (and with!)<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TMQfAmCCe5I/AAAAAAAAClQ/6O_CUo7JteU/s1600/MMDC-musictoscrapbyPr.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531580337387371410" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TMQfAmCCe5I/AAAAAAAAClQ/6O_CUo7JteU/s400/MMDC-musictoscrapbyPr.png" /></a><br /><div>If you're dropping by to pick up a freebie today, you're in luck.

She's doing okay, but gets a little lonely if I stay on the computer much. That's why I haven't been around much the past week. I hoped to make it up by having the word art set available today. I originally made it for (Inter)National Scrapbooking Day weekend, but didn't get it posted. Hopefully, it's a nice surprise. :)</div><br /><div></div><div>I still have some layouts to post, so those of you who sent them or a link to me, hang in there!</div><br /><div></div><div>Blessings on your day,</div><div>Melanie</div><div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/rRc8z7wW/MMDC_MusictoScrap.html">download</a></span></strong></div>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-10307275582414320452010-10-19T02:03:00.000-05:002010-10-19T02:04:53.315-05:00Feel a hug freebie<a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/ut36vfAp/MMDC_feelhug.html"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529649411900849138" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TL1C18DMO_I/AAAAAAAAClA/3E5wYMdgF7U/s400/2010-preview.png" /></a><strong><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/ut36vfAp/MMDC_feelhug.html"><span style="font-size:180%;"> download<br /></span></a></strong><div></div>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-74685660817772629032010-10-14T07:33:00.000-05:002010-10-14T07:34:38.707-05:00Smile freebie<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TLb4pUMVmCI/AAAAAAAACk4/lCvbEi5kGqw/s1600/2010-preview.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527878981322643490" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TLb4pUMVmCI/AAAAAAAACk4/lCvbEi5kGqw/s400/2010-preview.png" /></a><span style="font-size:180%;"> <strong><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/OAbzY4Kg/MMDC_smilemelt.html">download</a></strong></span>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-78206621990308557592010-10-13T07:13:00.003-05:002010-10-13T07:23:58.686-05:00Baby Love freebieYes, I know! It's been way too long since I posted something. I just continued to be worn down from a lengthy case of bronchitis, then, my mom has required some help with doctor's visits and aftercare. She's on "complete bedrest" until Nov. 2nd at least, so after spending a few more days at her house and a medical test, I brought her to my home. I should be able to get some computer time now that I'm on home turf.<br /><br />I have some layouts sent to me to post, and I'll do that soon! In the meantime, hope you can use this simple word art. I have babies on my brain at the moment because (1) my North Carolina friend had her 3rd child (a boy) 10 days ago, (2) my dear niece, Amye, is due with her son in 5.5 weeks and (3) we were just told at a Gender Reveal Party on Sunday that my sweet nephew, Myles, and his lovely wife, Katy, are expecting a baby boy, too. Their little one will arrive in March. I am working on a family (digital) scrapbook for my NC friend, so that keeps me thinking about babies frequently anyway, so you may see more baby word art soon. I'll try to get more creative about it...just trying to get something posted before another day goes by. <br /><br />Hope your day is excellent!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TLWipsCXQWI/AAAAAAAACkw/-4RzuiOChrA/s1600/2010-preview.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527502954746560866" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TLWipsCXQWI/AAAAAAAACkw/-4RzuiOChrA/s400/2010-preview.png" /></a>All the best,<br />Melanie<br /><strong><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/D19sa_dQ/MMDC_babyloved.html"><span style="font-size:130%;">download</span></a></strong>Melberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07505885748306143480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582695322303166301.post-88783901332033855932010-09-25T21:17:00.005-05:002010-09-25T21:25:38.297-05:00Crafty September freebie kit<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TJ6tOMOfDhI/AAAAAAAACko/d4HlyFPItDY/s1600/MMDC-CraftySept-prev.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 398px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521040652514561554" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jhJLHAuYlVc/TJ6tOMOfDhI/AAAAAAAACko/d4HlyFPItDY/s400/MMDC-CraftySept-prev.jpg" /></a><br />Well, here's another stab at being artistic, I hope.
