Congratulations Saints

Good Monday morn everyone..hope you had a great weekend. How about the Super Bowl…it was a great game and the Saints came from behind to win..I don’t keep up with pro ball much..I like to watch the Tennessee Titans but that’s about it..I decided to be for the Saints because they were the underdog and they had never won the Super Bowl before..they played their hearts out and came from behind in the 3rd quarter and won!  The folks in New Orleans needed that….they haven’t fully recovered from Katrina.

I had a good weekend…half of the time anyway LOL My photo shop tired its best to die on me on Friday night and Saturday..I’m thinking it was because of all the fonts I have..lol I need lots of them, heck that’s the MAIN part of all my designing..but I got rid of a ton of them that I didn’t use and cleaned out some other stuff so I’m hoping it will run better now..

Sunday was a great day..Angie and the boys came down for the day, Angie and I cooked and Mother and Cathy came over to eat with us, we watched a good movie and just had a good time being together…Cathy has been down with her back this weekend..she couldn’t even sit at the computer and play Bejeweled..I finally got her to take a desk chair that I wasn’t using, home with her and it worked…I called her last night during the ballgame and she was using the computer…LOL.I like playing Bejeweled to but I have decided I am too old, too slow, and can’t see..my score gets to a certain point and never moves till they wipe them out on Tuesday..Cathy and Angie are both good at it..and Cathy got my cousin hooked on it too! Hope you are feeling better sis.

Good Morning everyone..don’t faint because I have actually blogged 3 times this week..a 1st for me lately!

My middle GS Chase has been visiting me since Monday, he came over to help me go pay bills and get groceries and so on. Last night he cleaned my house..he even WASHED DISHES, and he HATES doing that..my bathroom is sparkling too! He washed and dried the towels and today he is going to clean the computer room…what a job that's going to be!!

It’s a cold, rainy, dreary day here, that said, I guess you are wondering about the topic of today’s blog! Here is what KimB’s Designs has new today..A Sunshiney Day kit and it makes you feel all sunshiney and good..

I think I’m going back to bed and take a little nap…it’s a perfect day for it!! Chase stayed up until 4:30 playing a game on the computer so I’m sure he won’t be up for awhile..lol Hope you all have a great weekend..stay safe.

A CAT AND A RAT

Good Wednesday morning everyone…I know, I know, 2 blogs this week…I’m on a roll!!!!

I have a little story for you this morning, about a cat and a rat who were friends! I know all of you have “Pet” stories about you children and this one came to my mind last night so I thought I would share it..

Lori took the boys to the pet store one day as all of them loved to go and look at the exotic birds and so on…well this day they came back with 2 tiny white RATS, cages and the works. I nearly had a heart attack but of course, I gave in. They just had instructions to keep them in their rooms.  The lady at the pet store told them Rats were smart and you could train them. Josh started fooling with his, he named him Tiny,and lo and behold Tiny learned his name. He followed Josh like a little puppy.

Tiny also learned how to get out of his cage, so most times he was running around in Josh’s room…and in the house..how do pets know the ones who like them least..because that rat LOVED to come in my room and sit on my bedside table..I woke up more than once with him staring at me!!! One day the kids were at school and he got in my room, I had to pick that darn rat up by his long, ugly tail and put him in Josh’s room YUCK!!!1

We had a cat named Floyd at that time..and when Floyd was in the house Josh had to make sure Tiny was not out. One day Floyd was in and Josh realized that Tiny was not in his room..Tiny loved to get in Josh’s messy closet and sleep..and he wasn’t there..Josh went looking for him and calling him, yes he would come to you when you called him..he came running in my room and I hadn’t seen him, I told Josh to look under my bed and lo and behold this is what he found

From then on they were good friends, they played together and took naps together and amazed everyone.  Tiny caught a bad cold and got very sick one night, Josh was trying to give him breathing treatments and Oxygen but the little fella died before we could get him to a vet.  Josh grieved over that rat for days and weeks..Now, Chase was another story, his rat got out of the house the 1st week he had him..didn’t bother happy go lucky Chase, he just played with Tiny..  I have more funny pet stories for another day!

PICK UR BITS

Good Monday Morning Everyone..hope  you all had a great weekend..mine was quiet and cold..lol I only left the house to go to my mom’s to eat supper on Saturday and Sunday, my sister is the best cook..I ate both nights till I was so stuffed I could hardly breathe.. I did get a lot accomplished design wise and I actually got my laundry all caught up too!

I guess  you’re wondering about my catchy little title aren’t you LOL..well DSO has another first for you today..Most stores do big collab kits with all of the designers contributing a part to make one big kit..Now you may like it all, or you may like only a few parts, but you have to buy the entire kit to get them..OK hold on to your seats..

The DSO designers did a “Pick Ur Bits” kit, what this means is…we had a color pallet and a name for the kit (Forever and After) and each of us made a part, only each designers portion  is priced separately, so you only have to buy what you like, or buy them all..and this is the really great part, no kit is more than $2.50..some are only $1.00 WOW you can’t beat that can you?

Here’s a little preview of all  the parts of the kit

and here is my part. It matches the other portions submitted by the talented designers at DSO.

The name of the WA is Forever & After.. Here are a few layouts my CT and I made using them.

From Pkdoll

Paula also used parts of KimB’s and GS Creations kits.

I made these

I used my word art cluster, paper,mat and birdcage from KimB’s Designs  and the little elves are from GS Creations part of Forever and Always.

I used my word art cluster and paper from GS Creations, heart and swirl from KimB’s Designs elements.  My mother had 7 brothers and sisters and there were 14 grandchildren, this is a picture of some of us and some of our kids..can you find me? Kim did LOL..

I also made you a little something today

You can get it HERE

Well duckies I am out of here for today, hope you all have a wonderful day and don’t forget to go shopping at DSO today, and be sure to stop by Words To Delite.. :)

WEDNESDAY SLUMP

Good Morning Everyone hope things are going well for  you today.

I am so in a slump  here, my get up and go got up and went!  I can’t seem to get moving this morning.  Might be old age has a part in it..LOL

I tell you, there are so many nasty virus’s going around now, it makes me leery of surfing the web…Kim B. got hit by one that has had her out of commission for awhile, and needless to say, having bad design withdrawals! 

A lot of these virus start by popping up a message on your computer, they look official too, some people see a msg about a virus and they panic and click on the wrong button and wham you have one..some of them just pop up and start running a scan…I have had too many of those the past few days..I just immediately shut down my browser and then my computer.  I have spyware programs running  in the background all the time, and my anti-virus software..but these nasty buggers get by them somehow.

Please be careful when you are using the internet. There are so many wonderful people on the net, but there are also some who aren’t nice and love to destroy..

Don’t forget my new word art that is in the store now..
