New Release Friday, $1 Bake Sale, New Wordart Pack FREEBIE!!!

Before I get into anything business related, I just wanted to take a minute to remember and pay respect to all of the Military personnel who have so bravely fought and in some cases, lost their lives, to keep our countries free. These brave men and women deserve this day to commemorate their lives and their military legacies. If you are living in Canada, like me, you will be observing Remembrance Day. And for those of you in the US, you are observing Veterans Day. Please, if you haven't done so already, take a minute of your time to remember.

So... Today is 11-11-11! How often does that happen? Well, us at GingerScraps we think it's pretty cool and to celebrate we've got something special lined up for the next 11 days! We're having a $1 Bake Sale... FOR 11 DAYS!!! The $1.00 items will change often all throughout the 11 days- so be sure to check daily for new items. You will not want to miss a single day!

It's also new release Friday and I've got some awesome goodies for you today. I've broken up my DSD Grab Bags into individual packs and they're all on sale for 25% off! check them out.

I decided to give you a special wordart pack freebie today in commemoration of Remembrance Day/Veterans Day. My awesome CT Diva, Gina, her hubby is a military man and she's making him a special scrapbook. She needed some quotes and titles so here they are. I thought some of you might enjoy them. Not all wordart are shown on the preview. There are lots more inside the pack.

This pack will be free for one week only, when next Friday it will be going into my store, so snag it for free while you can.

And here's the link to your freebie wordart pack! Enjoy!

IMPORTANT: Sad News

Dear Friends,
As some of you may be aware, a terrible thing has happened to 9th&Bloom today. The designers and co-owner, Lizzy, were victims of fraud. Our store is closing immediately. I don't know where I will be selling designs in the future, but I will be designing and selling!

Please take a moment to read this official statement from Lizzy.

"Dear friends, as many of you are aware, today we at 9th&Bloom encountered a problem processing our Paypal payments. I contacted Paypal to sort out the discrepancy and discovered that unbeknowst to me and to our amazing designers, the shop and its paypal account were not set up as they should be. The shop never acquired its own Taxpayer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service. Since having such a number is a requirement for the Paypal account that the shop uses, Paypal has frozen our account and we are unable to process payments. Prior to this point in time all of our Paypal interactions were handled by another owner who failed to inform me of any issues regarding the account.

Because we cannot operate as a shop without a Paypal account, we must say goodbye to 9th&Bloom; however, as always our amazing staff of creative people, layout artists and designers alike are united and hard at work to reopen a new store with the same wonderful buzz of community and creativity. We look forward to our new adventure with a great sense of renewal and anticipation and hope that you will continue to be a part of our amazing community."

Lizzy

I would like to thank you all who have been my loyal customers and friends! Thanks so much for your continued support and business. This is going to be a new adventure for me and I hope that you'll continue on it with me.

6 NEW WORART PACKS plus... a wordart FREEBIE!!!

Before I get started here today. I wanted to wish my amazing, wonderful, handsome husband Emmett a HAPPY 11th ANNIVERSARY! I love you Hubby! {{{HUGS & KISSES}}}.


I can't believe that it's Friday... AGAIN! The time always seems to go so much faster for me when it starts getting cold outside. I live in Eastern Canada so it's Autumn for me now and I LOVE IT!!! Autumn is my favorite season. I love how it's cold enough to wear a jacket or warm sweater but not cold enough to have to wear a snowsuit! lol. I absolutely adore how beautiful everything starts to look as the leaves turn color and the evening sunsets get brighter. I live right on the ocean so I get lots of breathtaking sunsets. Here's a pic of one from about 2 weeks ago that was taken from my living room window. BEAUTIFUL!!!

I consider myself a very lucky lady to be able to look out my window and see nature at it's most beautiful. It amazes me that I can sit on my cozy couch, have a cup of tea and watch whales jumping in the bay! Yes... I can watch whales from my window! :) I've got to get some pics of that soon!

As we all know, once Autumn get's here, Halloween isn't far behind. I've got some of my "stuff" ready to get the house and yard decorated for the Trick-or-Treaters. I've got plans on transforming the front porch into a haunted house of sorts. It's gonna look amazing when it's all done. I've got the kids costumes all ready too. Emma is going to be a witch and Aiden is going to be a Ninja. They picked out their costumes when we were shopping last week. I have to check this week for a wig for Emma though. I hope to find one that's got black or purple hair. And, I've already got 2 of the most amazing kits from 9th & Bloom picked out to use for scrapping our Halloween pics this year! The first is Wicked from Amy Stoffel and the second is The Witching Hour from Secret Stash. Both awesome kits! You should totally check them out!

So, with all that being said... Here are my wordart releases for this week! You can snag them this week for 20% off. Click HERE to go to my store.







As promised, I'm going to start having a daily wordart freebie again! Yay! I've got lot's of cute ones coming up for you so make sure to check back here everyday to snag your freebie! Here is the first one. Image is linked.


And as always, just in case, here's the link to your freebie! ENJOY!
