First of all, I have to mention that I did not watch this Twilight Saga. I don’t like vampires, you see. But if you like it, or if your children, especially daughters, are driving you crazy with new Moon this and New Moon that, perhaps this is something that you could do for your daughters.



This is a Twilight Saga: New Moon scrapbooking kit by Kat from the blog, As Designed By Kat. Although as mentioned above, I do not like this saga, I love this scrapbooking kit! I think it’s kind of a waste that even though I really like this scrapbooking kit of Twilight Saga: New Moon, I don’t even know what to do with it! LOL Download it from the link that I have provided in this post if you are into scrapbooking.

Blog hopping brought me to the website of Vale Design, a design freebie website owned by Erin Vale. Erin is a packaging and branding designer and she uses this website to promote her merchandise that she sells on Etsy.


However, Erin also offers plenty of free DIY printable stuff on this site from To-Do lists to notepads, cards, file folders, address labels, coloring pages, etc; just about anything that could be printed that you could think about.


Frankly, I am very tempted to print out her designs since I have a very good printer but I am thinking of the ink that I would be wasting. Good printers run on expensive ink! Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just BUY Erin’s products from her Etsy page? LOL Anyway let me know if you have found Erin’s designs useful.

Although I bought a new Samsung SyncMaster 2043sw 20in Widescreen LCD a couple of months already, I have not found time to look for a nice desktop wallpaper for it and have only used the default Windows XP wallpaper. It’s kind of boring but then my desktop is always covered with my multiple browsers so I don’t get to look at it all that often.


Lately, I have been trying to find dark wallpapers for my desktop and somehow, found it difficult to look for widescreen desktop wallpaper with the resolution of 1600 X 900px. And then I realized that I have been using the wrong search term. LOL


Anyway, i finally found a site that offers free high definitely desktop wallpapers that I like so much, I grabbed more than a couple of wallpapers for my screen. If you are also looking for quality high definition desktop wallpapers for your widescreen LCD, you should visit Wallpapers Wide. They have lots to offer, including mobile wallpapers and wallpapers for dual monitors.

I actually have known of Coldplay’s freebie offer of a downloadable live album called Left Right Left Right Left a long time ago but somehow forgotten to blog about this freebie. I remembered only when a friend shared his video with me that he uploaded to YouTube. I checked my download of Left Right Left Right Left and was horrified to discovered that it was months ago!


Anyway, I checked the website of Coldplay and am glad to know that this freebie is still available so it’s still not too late. Many people are confused with the genre of music that Coldplay plays. I will say that they are Alternative/Soft Rock, but I may be wrong.


Take a listen to this album and decide for yourself. The following tracks are on the live album, which I understand that copies of it are also given away to concert goers until the end of the year.


Left Right Left Right Left (Live Album) - Coldplay


01 - Glass of Water
02 - 42
03 - Clocks
04 - Strawberry Swing
05 - Hardest Part / Postcards from far Away
06 - Viva La Vida
07 - Death will never Conquer
08 - Fix You
09 - Death and all his Friends

I don’t even use Twitter that much and even if I do, it’s via my mobile phone or iPhone and I don’t use the Standard view so I cannot see the background or colour of my profile. I use Twitter primarily to feed my Facebook status but I do sometimes log into my Twitter account via the computer.


I did this morning and out of boredom, decided to change the background of it. I did a search for cute Twitter backgrounds and came upon this website called, what else but Cute Backgrounds, and seriously, I love so many of them I decided to feature the website on my blog.


I have to admit though, that although I now have a new background for my Twitter profile, I did not grab the background from Cute Backgrounds. My background is also cute but I got it from a sister site of Cute Backgrounds. Perhaps I will feature them next. Stay tuned.

I was just surfing around this morning looking for some freebie or other when I decided that I should feature freebies by Malaysians. I did not have anyone in mind or any kind of freebie in particular but in the end, I decided to feature Matahati Designs today because of the cute layout. I know she bought it but it’s still cute.


Anyway, also because of the design, looking at the kind of freebies that Matahati Designs has to offer is a bit of a chore. You can’t see it in a single page because only post excerpts are shown. Still, if you have time to spare, it is worth going through the posts to look for Matahati Design freebies which range from free font to free layout to free paper pack.


Do take note that some items featured on Matahati Designs are for sale, so make sure to tread carefully around the website. Hehe!

Halloween is tomorrow. Are you ready for that? Of course, if you have children in the family, Halloween is so much more fun, right? Well, if you are doing last minute preparations, here is a website that offers free printable Halloween masks. There are only five to choose from but they are practical, easy to print and all you need to do after printing them is to cut two holes on the side to thread a string or yarn to hold the mask in place.


These masks would look great if you have a color printer with ink that does not smear. Like the website suggests, if you are throwing a Halloween party, you must print some of these out to keep on standby in case someone turns up WITHOUT a mask or costume. A simple DIY printable Halloween mask like one of these would save the night!

Some of you may know that I participated in Exabyte’s Snap & Win Contest lately to try to win the prize of a Canon EOS 1000D DSLR camera. I took some photos of valid URLs from magazines lying around the house and submitted them but I am just not happy with the shots.


Over the weekend, I surfed around for free tools to enhance my entry to the contest and found this PhotoSnack slideshow maker, a fuss free website that allows us to upload our photos and turn them into a slideshow by selecting one of the preset layouts.


Uploading photos can be a pain. It took me almost half a day just uploading twenty odd images because I had to do it one by one; but I have to admit that the size of my images contributed to the speed. However, the finished result is awesome especially when viewing my slideshow on my new 20in widescreen LCD monitor. Check it out here:



PhotoSnack is highly customizable and what I like is that if you make changes to your slideshow, it will automatically be reflected in your slideshow that you have embedded on your blog or other social sites. You don’t have to embed a new script or make manual changes.


By the way, I will be updating my slideshow with new photos from time to time before the close of the contest and this is going to be my new entry to Exabyte’s Snap & Win Contest! Wish me luck!

Halloween is still ten days or so away and there’s still time to come up with your very own DIY Halloween costume for your children if you haven’t done so yet. Image the cost you will be saving if you have more than one child who require a Halloween costume. Imagine the fun you will have with the children putting their Halloween costumes together.


This website, DLTK’s, has a huge selection of homemade children’s Halloween costumes. Some of them come with photos and you could easily filter them from the long list of available costumes. But even if an idea does not have an attached photo, if doesn’t mean that you should pass up on the idea, you know?


I browsed through some of the children’s Halloween costume ideas and I have to say that the designers are really creative. If you have your own ideas, you are encouraged to submit them to the website to share with other users too!

If you love a light-hearted read, especially if you are female, or at least a male who would like to know more about women, this is the book that you should get your hands on. Apparently, it is the talk of town already because it is just too hilarious. It’s Kathy Lette’s All Steamed Up.


Click on the link that I have enclosed in this post to request for a free copy of splash proof All Steamed Up. There are a total of 10,000 exclusive copies to be given away. Although it is not stated, I gather that this freebie offer is only available to residents of the United Kingdom.


If you are not in the UK, worry not. You can still download a copy of the audio book and better still, sync it to your iPod or iPhone and have the book read out to you while you’re on the move. I’m downloading a copy as I am writing this post.
