Blogaversary Celebration - Week 1

Part of the reason I only posted once last week, in addition to our router dying, is that Andrew and I were working on a free downloads page!  Yay!

I wanted to set up a system that solved problems like inline linking, gave me the ability to keep track of who/what/when so I could produce fancy stats reports, and also make it easy for my visitors to access the PDFs without having to rely on me to press some buttons on my end.

I think we came up with a good solution.  And now that it's finished, I can officially start the celebration of my 3-year blogaversary!  As long as everything runs smoothly, I'll be posting a new PDF every week for three weeks, ending with November 24th, my blogaversary day.  Yay!

Since this is the grand opening, I'm starting with two PDFs:

The meal planner has 4 different formats combined into one PDF.  You only print the layout you want to use.  The meal planner is one of the most popular non-tutorial posts, so I thought it'd be a good choice for rolling out the new system.

Sasha the Seahorse has a redesigned layout and the same great pattern and instructions in a 4-page PDF.  Included are pattern pieces for an adult and a baby seahorse.  You can see how cute they can be in my Seahorse Flickr Group where crafters (just like you) show off their own seahorses.

Well, what are you waiting for?  Go get some free downloads.  Since this system is brand new, let me know if anything is goofy. :)

Thanks so much for the sea creatures pattern. My grandson(4)is totally nuts about octopus and his sister(2)loves starfish. I am making them Christmas decorations with their names and the year embroidered on the back as well as a fish for my new grandson (2 days old)

These are too cute. I keep seahorses and marine tanks and love these ornaments. I'm going to make some for my seahorse keeping freinds.
