Graphic Freebies, Demos & Samplers

I actually came across this website, Graphicxtras, a few days ago but was busy upgrading my site after a hacking attempt. Bah! Don’t I just hate the technicalities of running blogs! I prefer to just blog and let others take care of the dirty work. Hehehe! But I’m just a one-leg kick small fry so I have to be hands-on.

Anyway, if you are a webmaster in need of some web graphic freebies, this is a place to check. I am thinking that these freebies are only for our personal use and not for your commercial projects, so you may want to be careful of where you use these freebies.

What I DON’T like about the layout of this website is that I am not able to see what freebies these are without downloading them. Sigh, it’s a waste of time and resources to go downloading one file after another, right?

Cross Stitch Freebies

Cross stitch remains one of my favourite hobbies though I have to concede that I do not have the time to indulge in it like I used to. The projects that I take on are mostly rush jobs and one could see that it was rushed. No, not nice at all.

For my friends who do have the time even with a few kids to take care of, wherever they find time?, they tell me that cross stitching is highly therapeutic. I don’t think so, I get stressed out when I have to undo my stitches. Hahaha!

Yiotas XStitch is an online retailer that deals in everything cross stitch but worry not, they have a huge collection of cross stitch freebies that we could download for personal use. Do note that we are not allowed to redistribute these freebies or use them on projects that are meant to be sold.

Free Swedish Nature Desktop Wallpaper & eCard

Someone I know told me that the best lifestyle that he would like to have is to live in Sweden. I wondered why and he said that if I haven’t been there, I wouldn’t know. And indeed I don’t.

Searching the web for nature scenes of Sweden, I stumbled upon this free wallpaper website by Rolf. He is offering free desktop wallpapers, ecards and web graphics of Swedish nature. I definitely understand now why my friend would like to retire in Sweden, though he hates driving in snow.

Since I have been looking to change new wallpaper for my laptop, I took the chance to download a couple of freebies from Rolf’s website. I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality of images that are available on this website. Hopefully, more will be added soon!

Free Keychain

When I was younger, a whole lot younger and during the days when I used to collect anything and everything, I used to collect keychains. I don’t even know why I liked keychains that much, so much so that I refused to use any keychain for my bunch of keys because all the keychains in my collection were too nice to be used.

I stumbled upon this commercial website of the Video Glasses Shop a couple of days ago and noticed that they are giving away free keychains. Even though I no longer collect keychains, I am sure someone out there reading this would love this offer of a free keychain.

If you are a keychain collection like I was, I believe you would want to request for a free keychain from the Video Glasses Shop. Wouldn’t you?

Save $400 On C’elle Stem Cell Preservation

I first heard of stem cells from a pregnant friend who wanted to preserve the baby’s stem cells in case there was a need for them in the future. I thought to myself that it is too bad that this scientific technology wasn’t available back then during my time.

I later learned that even though we are adults now, ladies have a second chance at insuring their future health and that of their close family members like siblings and children, by preserving stem cells extracted from menstrual blood. Frankly, I used to think that menstruation is something that’s unnecessary but of course I have since changed my mind.

From now until 30th April, 2009, C’elle is running a promotion whereby we could enroll in a stem cell preservation program for only $299, a savings of $400. The promotional code to use is CN400.

The preservation of stem cells is all the more important for people with a family history of illnesses like stroke, cancer, diabetes, heart diseases and other hereditary diseases that are all too common in modern society.

Enrolling in a stem cell preservation program is like taking out health insurance on our future health and that of our close family members. Seriously, $299 is just a small price to pay!

Create Ringtone Free

Some of my friends would change their mobile devices so regularly that it’s like changing clothes. Actually, I don’t really like to change mobile devices too often because I would then have to learn the whole working of the device all over again. Let’s not forget about installing new software and programs. Bah!

For people who like changing devices and want new ringtones all the time, this is a pretty awesome online software that allows us to create our own ringtone from any mp3 file. Right now, this software is not available so check back again soon, for a promised more powerful free ringtone creator.

Free Cute Twitter Buttons

While reading a blog, I chanced upon a cute Twitter button on the sidebar. One click led to another and I landed on the website of Twitter My Site which offers very cute Twitter buttons for free. If you are a webmaster who uses Twitter, this is just the thing you should check out and perhaps use.

I love these Twitter buttons, but too bad that we are required to provide a link back to the website with the line “button from twittermysite”. I mean, I have no problems giving credit where it is due but it sort of spoils the graphics.

I’d love to use one of these too but I feel weird when strangers follow me on Twitter and don’t even know anything about me and would not be interested to know about my life. LOL
