Equal Love!

So I decided Jacob needed some loving too.....

For Bitten

So today I had a moment of inspiration thanks to the faceboook message I got from a fellow Twilighter whom I go to see all midnight releases with.  I had the overwhelming urge to create a Twilight card in honor of the November 15th Midnight release of Breaking Dawn Part 2.

Cards

I am beyond excited... Tomorrow.... The first day I have had in about two months where no one has been around to bother me while I work on cards.  I plan an early start to my day and work till about 2:30 in the afternoon... I am hoping to get alot done.. I made a trip to the Hollows today with Jen and we had a blast.  I picked up about 3 pounds of paper and 12 more 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 envelopes for the Christmas cards.  I also need to photograph a few cards so I can get them out and to their receipents this week.  Well off to bed I go if I want to get up early tomorrow.

Brightest Blessings!

Fall and life!

So much in my life has been turned upside down.. We were forced to move last month and I went from having an entire room devoted to scrappbooking and card making to a little corner of a room.  It has been hard adjusting as I do not get the peace and quiet that I once had to create.  So as a result many projects have been put on hold or just plain dumped for lack of creative drive.  I am in a few Fall/Halloween blog hops this month and next and I have been getting those done. I wil post the projects when the hops begin.  I am currently trying to get a list together as well as ideas for Christmas cards that I really must get moving on in the next few weeks.  I have vacation starting the 27th of October and I plan on getting as much cardmaking time in as I can.  Well off I go.. I am going to try to sketch out some card ideas in between yelling at the grandbabies for one thing or another today.  :)  Brightest Blessings!

Technology!

To quote Bella Swan's mother.... I repel technology..... yep that is me.. I have 3 computers in this house and two of them decided that it was time to go at the same time.. Life would not have been so bad if one computer was not my main gaming computer with all the nice graphic cards, bells and whistles and the other was my daughters computer which has all our family phots, music, and digital cutter files for my Silhouette on it.. Not to mention it is apparently the only computer with the working camera card reader in it.. <sighs>  So the pictures posted below were to be posted during Rebecca's Blog Hop, but I had no way of getting them off my camera... So today I went to Best Buy to retrieve my now fixed gaming computer and drop my daughter's computer off.  Sad to say her motherboard has died... And frankly replacing it for the third time is not worth the money or in my meager budget, so.. I had 85.00 in Best Buy credit for an item I returned and was told.. he we carry a data transfer doohickey to retrieve data off a hard drive.  <eyes perk up>  And we carry portable camera card readers to plug into a computer.. <eyes get really big and bright at this point>  So I go look and low and behold I can buy both and a new blue ink cartridge for my printer and still have a few dollars credit left over.  So now I can have my daughters harddrive hooked up to my computer and use it for extra storage <cause 3 terrabytes of hard drive space is not enough>, and retrieve pictures off of my camera!!  Yay!!  Life is looking better after the last month of darkness.!!
