You could apply code such as suggested here.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/276775?replies=6
Of course just modify the WP_Query part to query the posts you want, and add HTML etc...
For example : WP_Query('cat=4'); would grab the posts from category with the ID 4.
Required info is all there, just modify the areas as required...

Can you re-post?
and i do want to pull from a category, but can i hide it so the freebies are only in the freebies page?

Sorry, could have sworn i selected a month when creating the pastebin...
Here's the code again though, however you will need to add to it (HTML/CSS) and modify as required.

It was written for the guy in the other thread, but the same rules apply in any case... :)

ok i got the template but how do i defien the post category

Just go and create a post as you usually would (under "Posts" and "Add new")..
All you need to do with the template is create a page, any name (no content in the actual page required), attach the template (from the right), save then go about adding posts, in the normal manner..
The page template is basically acting as a framework to grab a select group of posts...

But how do I select the gruop to pull?

By modifying this part.
WP_Query();
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts
Example:
WP_Query('cat=4');
Grabs post from category with the ID 4.
