As of late, there hasn’t been much music going on up there. I can’t explain my loss of music, my guess it has much to do with this bout of depression I’ve been wading through but it could also be caused the lack of music flowing into my brain. Music has always been a huge part of my life but, for some reason, it’s been adding to my sorrow. This morning, or middle of the night to be precise, Jason Mraz was crooning ‘I’m Yours’ to me as I awoke. Nice to have the music back, like welcoming an old friend back home.<br /><br />Speaking of old friends..<br />I had connect with an old friend I’d lost touch with on my New Year’s Resolutions’ list and not only have I been in touch for one but I’ve been corresponding with a few people I was once very close with. Catching up has been fun, I never realized how much I missed talking to them, how much I missed the person I was when I’m with them. But, along with happy news there’s also been some sad, the boy I was serious with before I started dating my husband was killed in a boating accident a couple years back. Weird thing was, I had a feeling something had happened to him. Honestly, I’m not too sure how I feel about his passing, I hadn’t seen him in nearly thirty years but, somewhere inside there’s another empty place. <br /><br />One more note of sorrow then I promise to move on. Tigger, my beloved cat of seventeen years passed on last week after being ill for a few months. I am heart-broken and I truly miss him daily. This one was the topper, the one to push me over the edge. I know he was a cat but, no matter what anyone else claims, he was MY cat.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S8hHA3CMPPI/AAAAAAAABFs/ktWR23OkuHA/s1600/tigger.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S8hHA3CMPPI/AAAAAAAABFs/ktWR23OkuHA/s400/tigger.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460692628285439218" /></a><br /><br />Now that you have some idea as to where I’m at, I still have been clicking away and even putting a few pages together. Since Pixel Canvas closed and Digital Freebies gave many of us the boot (why, I do not know) it took me a bit to find a new place to post. I’ve finally landed over at <a href = http://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/forum/>SBG</a> and at <a href = http://www.thedigichick.com/blog/>The DigiChick</a>. The people are friendly as well as both helpful and complimentary, the challenges are fun and the designers are amazing. Lately, I’ve been digging the ‘Altered Art’ style and <a href = http://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/forum/>SBG</a> has a weekly AA challenge I enjoy quite a bit.

My tummy aches almost constantly (it's from the new meds)and I have little energy for much of anything. Add to the load that we're moving (more about that later)from the place we've lived in for more than 30 years (tons and tons and tons of crap to toss) and I'm a wee bit overwhelmed. I promise to upload a freebie before Wednesday (I have a couple ready to go but the thought of uploading is just too much at the moment). I have been doing a bit of scrapping (as well as packing boxes), the scrapping is relaxing and somewhat comforting. So, just know I haven't forgotten you, and I'll be back soon with bunches of goodies. <br /><br />I found this over at <a href = "hhttp://gerushiasnewworld.blogspot.com/">Gerushia's New World</a> and thought it was the cutest little survey..<br /><br />What Would You Be?<br /><br />If I were a month I’d be May<br />If I were a day I’d be Sunday<br />If I were a time of day I’d be sunrise<br />If I were a planet I’d be Venus<br /><br />If I were a sea animal I’d be a dolphin<br />If I were a direction I’d be west<br />If I were a piece of furniture I’d be a rocking chair<br />If I were a liquid I’d be wine<br /><br />If I were a gem stone I’d be diamond<br />If I were a tree I’d be a magnolia<br /><br />If I were a tool I’d be a drill<br />If I were a flower I’d be a dandelion<br /><br />If I were an element of weather I’d be the rain<br />If I were a musical instrument I’d be a flute<br />If I were a color I'd be blue<br /><br />If I were an emotion I’d be love<br /><br />If I were a fruit I’d be a mango<br />If I were a sound I’d be laughter<br />If I were an element I'd be water<br /><br />If I were a car I’d be a mustang<br /><br />If I were a food I’d be pasta<br />If I were a place I’d be a jungle<br />If I were a material I'd be silk<br /><br />If I were a taste I’d be bittersweet<br /><br />If I were a scent I’d be jasmine<br /><br />If I were a body part I’d be a mouth<br />If I were a facial expression I'd be a smile<br />If I were a song I’d be sung by adam levine<br /><br />If I were a bird I'd be a dove<br /><br />If I were a gift I'd be a book<br />If I were a street I'd be unpaved<br /><br />If I were a city I'd be Paris<br />If I were a door I'd be open<br /><br />If I were a pair of shoes I’d be slippers<br /><br />And what would you be? <br /></font face = "Comic Sans MS">Shayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451172971765487014noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843996742408528561.post-53479298314375122642010-02-18T08:39:00.001-08:002010-02-18T08:41:13.238-08:00Sorry.I am so sorry I've been awol but between my achy tummy, doing my layouts for ADSR and prepping to move, lots and lots going on.

Damn, I didn't realize it was already 3-ish am here. Wow, time sure flies when one is pulling her hair out by the roots attempting to put together this crazy Zen Cart crap. Back in the day, I could throw together a website pretty darn quick using html but this php stuff is much more difficult for me. That's what happens when one gets old I suppose. Bleeck.<br /><br />Anyway, the real reason I popped on was not to whine and bitch about my shop but to post some photos cause I'm in the Amazing Digi Scrapping Race. How super awesome is that? I'm really excited! We received our first assignment, being as we are two person team, we are to create an introduction page on our partners. My lovely and talented scrapping other half is Jess (nof007750) who I met over at <a href = "http://www.digitalfreebies.com">Digital Freebies</a>. Her layouts are amazing and I'm sure she'll carry me through the entire competition.

(& a freebie)<font face = "Comic Sans MS">Seriously, is it me? Seems like something happens with every scrap site I fall in love with. I'm begining to see myself as somewhat of a jinx. This is just so poo. Bleeck.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry I skipped a few days bloggingwise but I've had a bit of tummy trouble. When the belly begins to act up, it's best for me to hit the bed, strap on a heating pad and sleep my aches and pains away. I finished reading East of Eden (ech) and I have been keeping up with my layouts and working on my store though. Go me! <br /><br />I finished this page this morning, how adorable was my oldest when he was younger? I did this one for the <a href = "http://www.thedigichick.com/blog/">Digi Chick Blog scraplift</a>. Did you know they moved all their challenges to their blog? I just found out, I was wondering what happened to them. I used All I Need by Paislee Press and also her template, Press Plate #15. I'm sure you're familiar with <a href = "http://paisleepress.blogspot.com/">her blog</a>, if not, pop over and check out her lessons on photography as well as her gorgeous kits. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S26FseWuAvI/AAAAAAAABDk/LWhFpyoQ9VA/s1600-h/02062010-8Things.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S26FseWuAvI/AAAAAAAABDk/LWhFpyoQ9VA/s400/02062010-8Things.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435428799391859442" /></a><br /><br />This page is for MScraps <a href = "http://www.mscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=316">Photography Challenge</a> about reflections.

They have a fabulous line up of designers, tons of super fun challenges and, from what I can tell, a friendly group of scrappers.

Nothing I do could in any way be expressed with the words ‘structure’ or ‘orderly’. Any item I may need in the next six months (or have used in the past six months) must be within reach for when I need it (never mind that I can’t possibly find most of what I need hidden among all the other objects I might need). It’s not as if I’m lazy (okay, sometimes it’s EXACTLY that I am lazy) it’s more that I simply do not want to get up to retrieve an article when I want it. That is why my computer desk and my bedroom night stand is crammed full of books, magazines, dvds, cds, photos, meds, and so on and so on. I’ll come up with an excuse for why the rest of the house is in constant disarray at a later date. <br /><br />Have I mentioned how easily distracted I am? <br /><br />I mention my lack of clutter-busting skills to explain away my absence over the last few weeks. One of my goals this year is to get organized, my computer, my home and, hopefully, my mind as well. There are kits hidden away amidst photos, finished scrap pages, unfinished scrap pages, fonts and so much more, I have never used simply because I forgot I had them. I have clothes bunched up in my closet I haven’t worn for the same reason. I want to launch my own shop by this February 14th (not next year) and there is just no way I can commit myself to running any type of business without putting my belongings in order. <br /><br />During the month of January, I put time and money into this beast of a machine (if you’ve read me at all, you know how much I’ve hated this computer) and it is now running wonderfully. I have a new disc burner, replaced my sound card so I can listen to music as I assemble my scrap empire and finally, a new 500 gig hard drive to hoard away all my goodies. Did I say hoard? I meant to say O.R.G.A.N.I.Z.E. my stock. In addition, since no one around here truly understand me; I bought myself a Christmas present, a Wacom Bamboo Craft tablet. How awesome is that!?! I haven’t used it yet, I was saving it for when my computer was all pimped up so I’m breaking that bad boy out tomorrow. YaY!<br /><br />It’s not as if I haven’t done anything this month, I did have time to scrap a few pages and take a few snapshots. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S2Z2sCTeMWI/AAAAAAAABCE/bieVOSd_xW8/s1600-h/Dad.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Mine was fabulous, got just about everything on my Christmas list, including a cat who is still breathing. That’s right, Tigger is alive and getting better every day. We’re not sure what actually happened to him, whether it was a stroke, poisoning or kidney problems. Believe me, it costs way too much to find out the true perpetrator so we just pumped him full of antibiotics (doctor’s orders) and coddled and cuddled him, which he loved. I have spoon-fed him baby food, IV’d him with fluids, bathed him, rocked him and even sang to him not to mention all the kitty poo I’ve had to clean up. Bleeck. It’s all worth it when I now see recognition in those gorgeous green eyes of his. <br /><br />With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, I put together a little goodie for you. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S1E1JvuoMbI/AAAAAAAABAs/8_b0W9gEVrk/s1600-h/PP-StampFreebie01PV.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S1E1JvuoMbI/AAAAAAAABAs/8_b0W9gEVrk/s400/PP-StampFreebie01PV.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427177467505291698" /></a><br />Download <a href = "http://www.mediafire.com/file/dmyizemmxgm/PP-StampFreebie01.rar">Here</a><br /><br /></font face = "Comic Sans MS">Shayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451172971765487014noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843996742408528561.post-37524192486662532052010-01-14T09:12:00.000-08:002010-01-14T10:50:26.301-08:00Off With Their Heads..<font face = "Comic Sans MS"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S09Q47jq_1I/AAAAAAAABAk/bc6Wyemza3k/s1600-h/OWTH.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/S09Q47jq_1I/AAAAAAAABAk/bc6Wyemza3k/s400/OWTH.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426645014994943826" /></a><br />How fabulously HOT is this kit called "Spunky Explosion" by the amazing Gypsy Couture!!

We've had him since birth, we even bottle fed him as his mother took off right after. He's 16 plus years old and I can't remember a time he wasn't around. He's not doing so well at the moment, very weak and not too responsive. I'm afraid he won't make it through the night. If he does, we'll visit the vet tomorrow and I'm afraid of what she'll say as well. I've been dreading this day for quite awhile now, he's an old man, he's lived a long and happy life, but that doesn't make saying good-bye any easier. Such an emotional decision, I don't want to lose him but I also don't want him to be in pain. My choice will always be what is best for him. I'm just not ready to be without him.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SzMQc9Snx8I/AAAAAAAABAM/wg3t4jRHcUU/s1600-h/12202009-_4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SzMQc9Snx8I/AAAAAAAABAM/wg3t4jRHcUU/s400/12202009-_4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418692866331887554" /></a><br /><br />Just a reminder I have a weekly challenge (<a href = "http://www.digitalfreebies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6390">Tuesday's With Tula</a>) going on over at <a href = "http://www.digitalfreebies.com/forums/">DFF</a> so please come on over and join in.

I hope you enjoy them.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SzA24APLp9I/AAAAAAAAA_c/nG5NuFgLKWY/s1600-h/PP-DeckTheHalls-WordArd01PV.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SzA24APLp9I/AAAAAAAAA_c/nG5NuFgLKWY/s400/PP-DeckTheHalls-WordArd01PV.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417890687490959314" /></a>Grab me <a href = "http://www.mediafire.com/file/vtmzdnnqzzn/PP-DeckTheHalls-WordArt01.rar">here</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SzA24eg-AfI/AAAAAAAAA_k/fwY3cqtnulQ/s1600-h/PP-DeckTheHalls-Alpha01aPV.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SzA24eg-AfI/AAAAAAAAA_k/fwY3cqtnulQ/s400/PP-DeckTheHalls-Alpha01aPV.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417890695618626034" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SzA24_r8UyI/AAAAAAAAA_s/zRixTCI7xvE/s1600-h/PP-DeckTheHalls-Alpha01bPV.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SzA24_r8UyI/AAAAAAAAA_s/zRixTCI7xvE/s400/PP-DeckTheHalls-Alpha01bPV.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417890704523023138" /></a>Click me <a href = "http://www.mediafire.com/file/yzyjlnmztym/PP-DeckTheHalls-Alpha01.rar">here</a><br /><br />I'll be back tomorrow for TWT.<br />Muah.<br /><br /></font face = "Comic Sans MS">Shayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451172971765487014noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843996742408528561.post-49380212434663188242009-12-15T09:50:00.000-08:002009-12-15T10:07:19.428-08:00You Capture - Lines<font face = "Comic Sans MS"> <br /><center><a href="http://www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com/2009/02/you-capture.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo145/rubyandroja/youcapture4-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></center><br /> <br />This week's assignments from the fabulous site <a href = "http://www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com/page/2">'I Should Be Folding Laundry'</a> is to find lines.

Not quite sure why but I'm betting it has something to do with the husband and his oddities. I don't know about your husband but mine always seems to wait until the very last second to do things and I'm the one who winds up finishing the project, chore, whatever. It's my own fault, I suppose. After 30 years one would think I would know better than to expect any different. Grrrrrrr. <br /><br />Wow, can you believe there are only 11 days left until Christmas? Have you finished up your shopping? Baking? Wrapping? I'm pretty much finished with the shopping, I have a few odds and ends to pick up. There will be no baking this year and, as far as wrapping goes, that's what they invited gift bags for. It's not really laziness, gift bags are much greener as they are reusable. Right? I've actually wrapped presents in the plastic bags I brought them home in because I refuse to spend a ridiculous wad of money on random wrappings. See what happens when I'm in a bad mood? I go off ranting on random tangents. <br /><br />Anyway, here's today's mask. I hope you enjoy it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SyZjqh4reqI/AAAAAAAAA-U/pwdAySSxWYQ/s1600-h/PP-MasksPVFB9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SyZjqh4reqI/AAAAAAAAA-U/pwdAySSxWYQ/s400/PP-MasksPVFB9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415125184261356194" /></a><br />Grab <a href = "http://www.mediafire.com/file/wh3ly2midfz/PP-MaskFB9.rar">ME!!</a><br /><br />Much love to ya..<br />( =<br /></font face = "Comic Sans MS">Shayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451172971765487014noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843996742408528561.post-32126709424731143852009-12-12T18:02:00.000-08:002009-12-12T18:13:55.351-08:00Happy Rainy Day Saturday<font face = "Comic Sans MS">It is pouring down rain here and I am loving it. I don't know about you but there's something about a cold, wet wintry day spent indoors curled up on the couch watching movies, looking through catalogs that's very comforting to me. It's wonderful. <br /><br />I did put together a freebie for you. I'm putting together a kit, hopefully available by next week, depends on if I get my store put together or not. Anyone who has experience with Zen Cart, hollar at me cause I have no idea what I am doing. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy this..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SyRMJi-m3XI/AAAAAAAAA-M/UmuSdxC5zbw/s1600-h/PP-DeckTheHalls-FB01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I6J7cXeBxDE/SyRMJi-m3XI/AAAAAAAAA-M/UmuSdxC5zbw/s400/PP-DeckTheHalls-FB01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414536378898111858" /></a><br />Grab it <a href = "http://www.mediafire.com/file/zymdgmgjjdm/PP-DeckTheHalls-FB01.rar">HERE</a><br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend.<br />( =<br /></font face = "Comic Sans MS">Shayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00451172971765487014noreply@blogger.com5
