Just some highlights

Gee, I've really noticed that I am loving Tracy Reed Designs freebies at the moment, they are beautiful.
I do like a good cluster frame, as my own clustering skills are still leaving a lot to be desired.
Clustered Frame Freebie! http://ht.ly/19jbWB   there is a link for you.


http://lesdigisdesteph.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-train.html  This is the first carriage for a 15 participant template blog train by all the European designers at ACO and Public-scrap.  I know they do these monthly and most of the templates are quite good.  I love Timounette. Check it out xx  
This link also has a few more European freebies http://scrapetpixels.free.fr/


I'll be posting more when I have it, as I like to personally download a good freebie before 
checking it off on here, so I can let you know if there is any hold-ups or catch or viruses.
Mind you, I download a lot of freebies and I have never received a virus from doing so.
However, I do consider myself fairly web savvy and sometimes the "free" hosting sites that a blog may have redirection pages or you click the wrong button and wind up on a porn site.
The best tip to prevent this, is to always look at the bottom or top of a download page for the link.
It won't be the one with the flashing button that says "fast download" - that is always a paid link ad.
Look for slow download or, shitty free download ha ha.  I saw one that said very slow download, as if that would deter us from getting it for free.  Rapidshare, Hotfile and Sendspace (which is the best of the bad bunch) require cookie cleaning if you have any intention of downloading more than one file at a time. Again, the chrome browser is the best for this, as you clean cookies with an easy shortcut on your keyboard and you're away, fresh and innocent.


Feel free to share links in the comments to any tools you use to make your downloading of freebies and digi stuff more secure and pain-free.

 I find that this group of designers seem to focus their love of Disney into their designs more than usual.  That said, I think Kelly Bell Designs specialize in the best Disney freebies - I admire their passion. Of course with me being stuck in Australia it is a little bittersweet reading about their numerous visits to Disney (I think most of them are season pass holders, so much fun!) 
I cannot remember an age I have been when I haven't wanted to go to Disneyworld.
 It seems like forever!  Anyhow, for now I just love the layouts and the dedication of some of the moms who somehow manage to get the right kid in the right outfit with the right Disney character for the exact Disney Kit layout - I wonder whether you have to pay for an appointment with the characters or they just happily sign autograph books and pose for happy snaps to be treasured for a lifetime.  Hmm... I must remember to ask one of them or maybe you could illuminate me in the comments.  Because I really want to meet Ariel!  Yes, I am over thirty.
But so what - I love a princess xxx

Kim is giving away a nice set of styles called Soft Dots plus a pretty word art (both 4 shared)
Kim B is such a laugh and a generous freebie giver, I love reading her blog and her adventures and the excellent freebies are just the icing on the cake.  I recommend you read her!
