Did you know, I think this is the 100th file given away on this blog! That’s what my website directory said, anyway. Since it’s already the end of March, if I’m going to meet my goal of having 1000 free files I’m going to have to start doing some easier ones. Since I use those, too, I’m going to count them! Don’t be surprised if you start seeing some quick shapes as freebie files mixed in with the others. 
The photo shows several layers and sizes – there are three flower shapes with holes and a center in the file. Do not make the center or the smallest flower smaller! These are rather large, I started out making one big scallop shape with holes around the edge for a layout and got carried away, lol. You don’t have to make this into a layered flower! The shapes are just fun to use – I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that our machines can cut these tiny little circles so perfectly. If I had the punch needle for my KNK I could do actual piercing on my machine, but I can’t afford it yet. Too many other things going on! Funny how I love this paper flower with all the holes, but if, in real life, my flowers had all these holes I would be sprinkling Seven dust on them in a heartbeat, lol. Not planting flowers this year – we’ll be moving. I might help Taria plant some at her house…
No other converted file types today, I’m full of sinus congestion and grouchy. Serta kept waking me up all morning by biting me. I guess I was snoring or having sleep apnea symptoms or something b/c I fell asleep without my CPAP mask on. I’m glad she tries to save me like that but I also need some sleep occasionally and I don’t like her biting my arm. Today is more cleaning, more cleaning, and probably a nap. Blah. I’d much rather be making files.

You’re not alone! I will be spending the day cleaning as well. I HATE cleaning, but I HATE a dirty house even more. The hardest part is not cleaning, per say, its getting the kids to leave me alone long enough to complete one task. I feel like I start 15 different projects or chores, but never get around to finishing them. The kids take naps at different times, so there is always one awake during the day. And when they are both awake, they are usually screaming for me to get them a drink or a snack or to change their diaper. Or, there is all the screaming associated with them taking each other’s toys or knocking each other over. Oh the joy of Motherhood!!
Anyway, just wanted to let you know you weren’t alone cleaning today. I will be with you in spirit.;)

I check your files weekly, just to see what you have for all of us ladys that don’t have time to make our own designs yet. What a great job you do. Keep up the great work.Thank you

Hi Mary,
I want to say thank you for the inspiration you have given me, and all the useful tips. I have, after reading your notes aboout good files vs bad files, taken more time working on my files and making them ‘good’. I love cutting your files because they work every time, and are so crisp. Thank you for all your help.
Sincerely, Anna

You are amazing, I think it is one thing to create a gorgeous page but you are more amazing for creating files from scratch. Creating a file is something I am in awe of, I can make a welded word and a mat but to make beautiful pictures, flourishes etc is beyond me. Thanks for your free files and info.
