Download My Stimulus Package and Receive US$1

Over the years of running two freebie blogs, I have come across some pretty weird freebies and such. This one, I just came across and I thought it’s pretty odd.

You will receive US$1 in your PayPal account if you would download the album of Officer Roseland. That title of this album is My Stimulus Package. Isn’t that weird?

If you would rather donate the money to charity, Officer Roseland would donate the money in your name to Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. Either way, we stand to gain. LOL

If you love music, just any kind, download My Stimulus Package and receive US$1 or donate it if you wish.

Free Animal Coloring Pages For Children

If you know me personally, you would know that I love animals, especially dogs. If money is of no concern, I would set up an animal shelter. No, I don’t want to set up a shelter where the animals are caged up. I would love to give them the freedom to roam! Yes, that would require plenty of land and of course, money. SIGH!

Today, I decided to check out animal freebies on the web. I know there are many, but most of them are only available to residents in the United States and/or Canada. Oh well, there’s nothing we, who are living outside of North America, could do.

As luck would have it, I stumbled upon this website called Talk To the Vet and they have a collection of free animal coloring pages for children. To grab one, or all, of these coloring sheets which include those of fish, cars, dogs and birds, just click on the thumbnail and print out the large image. Each coloring sheet comes with a “tip” on caring for that particular pet.

Free Web Design Elements

I was checking for freebies on the web this morning and stumbled upon this website, Design Shard. I love their web template but black is really a difficult colour on many older people’s eyes. Anyway, if you are looking for free web design elements, Design Shard has a very huge collection of freebies that we could download and use on our own web projects.

As with all such freebies, do check the terms or use first before using them. You may be required to provide a link back to the designer or maybe these are not meant for commercial purposes. Whatever it is, comply with the terms as stipulated by the designer and there will be even more freebies to come.

Free Web Icons & Backgrounds

I scour the web extensively for free web icons, graphics and backgrounds. That’s because I have so many web projects and online marketplace auctions that require something fresh.

This morning, I chanced upon Majon, an internet marketing company which also offers a collection of free web icons and backgrounds. I like this website not because they have a huge selection or they have exceptionally unique graphics or backgrounds but because selecting what I want is really very easy and doesn’t require me to flip through pages after pages.

I do hope, though, that they will fix their broken image links, because small boxes with a red X don’t give the site a professional image.

If you are looking for something different for your online projects, check out what Majon has to offer.

Free Online Userbar Generator

I am sure you have read often enough my complaints that I am not creative at all and if I have the choice, I would prefer to use ready-made graphics, themes, clip art, etc that designers generously share with us on their websites and blogs.

However, I recently noticed a couple of friends using different userbars (350 X 19px graphic bars) on a forum that we hang out daily and I am sure that their unique userbars are not available for free. They told me that they designed the userbars themselves using Photoshop. Urgh, that’s the problem, I don’t even have Photoshop installed on my computer. If I have it, I wouldn’t even know how to use it!

Just now, I was introduced to a free online Userbar Designer which I could design my userbars right from my browser without having to install the program.

This is a free userbar generator but they have premium version at US$2 per month only as well which comes with greater features, including adding text mirror, drop shadow to text and animated multi-frame text .

Although there is a warning that this is a resource hungry application, my three-year-old system could still handle the design creation page smoothly. If you are using a free userbar that you downloaded from the web, it’s time to create your own. It’s free, after all!

FREEmium Free Premium WordPress Theme

If you know me, you will know that I run multiple blogs, and all my self-hosted blogs and websites are powered by WordPress so I am always on the look out for free themes. Throughout the years, I have learnt to only download themes from the website of the designer or owner, so if you are new to WordPress, you should note this.

I came upon this free premium theme called FREEmium a couple of days ago during one of my searches. I am actually looking for a free WordPress theme that is suitable for my WordPress powered website.

FREEmium looks like it could do the work except that I do not have the time to customize it to my requirement. Looking for a theme is one thing, customizing it is another. Well, I’ve already downloaded it but will sleep on this first. Why don’t you check it out?

Free Valentine’s Day Fonts

I believe I have written about Fonts & Things before but since it’s Valentine’s Day soon, I decided to feature them again because they have an awesome selection of fonts especially for Valentine’s Day.

If you have been planning a personalized Valentine’s Day gift or project, you should check out these free Valentine’s Day fonts in various colours, that would surely be suitable for whatever you have in mind.

Besides fonts in letters, there are also heart shaped and kiss dingbats. Oh, although most of these fonts are freebies, do take note that there may be some which are actually shareware. Do check first before downloading.
