Happy National Iced Tea Day, y'all!

Today, June 10th, is National Iced Tea Day. Yes, it's an actual holiday with celebrations and freebies. Who knew, right?

Summerville, South Carolina has long billed itself as the birthplace of sweet tea. Today, they're celebrating by going for a world record for the largest sweet tea. Wow! When they're finished, it will measure 1,400 gallons of sweet tea made with 200 pounds of tea leaves from the Charleston Tea Plantation, 2,800 pounds of ice and 2,100 pounds of Dixie Crystals Sugar. Now that's my kind of world record! Read more about Summerville's supersized sweet tea here.

NPR has more information on the history of tea in America. It seems that in the past, many teas were spiked with alcohol, quite unlike the teas we usually drink today. According to them, about 85% of tea imbibed in the United States today is iced tea. They didn't give any statistics on the percentage of sweet tea vs unsweetened tea consumed. Read more about it at NPR's website here.

International Business Times has some freebies for National Iced Tea Day listed here. Enjoy some free iced tea today!

To go along with Summerville's sweet tea, I'm offering you lemon and orange slices for your digital designs.  These are for personal use only, please. Just right click and save.

Y'all enjoy! And while you're sipping on that delicious free iced tea and playing with my free fruit slices, please like my Facebook page here. I'll be posting some exclusive Facebook only freebies for my fans next week. You won't want to miss them! 

Triune Blog Train is Up!

This month's Triune Blog Train theme is "I will make them one nation." And I had to restrain myself from creating fifty eleventy million papers and elements for this kit. I'll probably release an add on kit that will go with this one closer to the Fourth of July.

I'm an unabashed patriot, and am very proud of my country. We may not always get things right the first time, but through cooperation and prayer, we usually get them right eventually. I love red, white and blue, fireworks, barbecue, the Star Spangled Banner and the Pledge of Allegiance.

I hope you can use this kit to scrap your Fourth of July pages or any patriotic pages. This one was an absolute pleasure to create. Enjoy!

Download from 4Shared or Dropbox.

Let me know if you download the kit and what you think of it. And I'd love to see some of your scrapped pages using this kit. 

And here are the rest of the stops on this blog train:

Happy Almost 2013!

Oh my stars, did 2012 speed by faster than a bullet train or was that just for me? OK, so it's not quite over yet, but as quickly as the hands on my clock above my desk turn, it might as well be. It seems I just get started on a project and three or four hours have flown by. Eek!

Here's a freebie for you for your personal use only. You may add it to your blogs or facebook timeline if you wish. Just don't use it commercially or claim it as your own.

I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year! May you prosper, flourish and enjoy 2013.

Are you ready for Saint Patrick's Day? Here are two Saint Patrick's Day candy bar wrapper designs you can print and use to overwrap standard sized chocolate bars. I've included two versions of each wrapper - one with words and one without, so you can customize your wrappers if you want to.
