Egyptian Freebie Preview

Just a little sneak peek at ONE of my Egyptian kits coming. I couldn't decide between the dramatic Blues and Reds with Gold or the golds, silvers and beiges so I ended up creating two kits (Which are almost done) This QP obviously comes from the Blue/Red kit and since I keep getting alot of requests, I figured I would share this little freebie with you all. Hope you like it! If you want to download it just click on the image and your download will begin. It is in 300 dpi and is 12X12. Please send people here to my blog to download if you think they would like it ok? As always a little LOVE would be great appreciated ;) Enjoy!

ROYAL PALM BEACH – A man driving a red Dodge was killed Tuesday morning in a collision with a tractor-trailer that shut down the Okeechobee Boulevard and Folsom Road intersection for hours........

....... Elementary school was opening later because of the crash.

The Palm Beach Sheriff's office said the 5:30 a.m. crash occurred when the Dodge collided with the eastbound tractor-trailer, which rolled over.

The unidentified driver of the car died at the scene.
The driver of the rig was not injured.

Deputies are investigating the possibility the Dodge did not halt for a stop sign.

Three people were shot to death in Lake Worth and at least four others wounded in what authorities said was gang violence this evening.

Four survivors were flown to Delray Medical Center, three of them in critical condition.

Authorities were looking for three men wearing ski masks and armed with an assault-style rifle who were driving a black Dodge Stratus.

A crowd of onlookers gathered at the scene, in the 1400 block of South B Street. A law enforcement officer in the residential neighborhood just blocks from Interstate 95 said the crime appeared to be gang-related.

The Palm Beach County Violent Crimes Task Force was heading the investigation.


AND..... while this is not really good news it does mean I am closer to getting a house as opposed to living in this apartment we have been in for nearly 7 years:
