I'm Back!!!!!!!!

Hello All! I'm finally back after an unplanned leave. Didn't realize it was going to take a few weeks to get my computer back, but it has a new screen so I'm all excited, plus some other new internal pieces parts. Lots of things came up all at once (as they always do), but I've missed my PSP something fierce, so I'm definately ready to get back to some tagging. Going to get my blog updated as I'm sure something or other has changed, plus I've just signed up for a Facebook account (ok, so a little behind everyone else) so I need to get that link posted too! So look for me soon to have some new goodies up!!

What's New With Me

Hi all! Well, I'm still without my computer =( My old dinosaur moves so slow that it's impossible to tag, much less surf the internet. The only thing that is saving me is that I can at least check my email at work, but I'm still behind on that too. While hubby is gone today I'm sneaking on his computer to update both my blogs and remove all the blinkies and blog lists that do not apply anymore. A few stores had closed, so I'm only creating for two designers now. It's been one thing after another here, so I'm anxiously waiting for things to return to normal and I can get a schedule worked out. I'm hoping to be on track with everything by the end of the month. For those that don't know, I've finally returned to work after a year of being off, my step daughter has moved in with us, my car has issues, and to throw more chaos in there, I'm trying to pick up a second job. There's more little stuff in between, but that pretty much sums up the big stuff. So for those waiting on something or other from me, please hang in there a little longer.

Almost...

Well my laptop pushed my last button on Friday, so in went the reformat disk. Then because of my pickiness, in went that disk another three times, lol. So, finally, I think I have it the exact way I want it. All of my annoyances are fixed, 4Shared, Fotki, no sound, etc. I haven't opened up PSP yet to set all that up, but I will soon. I do have three tutorials that I need to finish up. I had already posted the tags themselves on the tut blog if you want to be nosy =) So with that, I'm off to get my email caught up....

I Gotta Question...

Do ya'll know what flairs are? The amusing little buttons from the 80s and 90's? TGIFridays really made them "famous" while back. Would anyone like some if I made them, personal use and free to use of course? I find them cute, and I've seen so many at the old fashioned brick and mortar stores that I thought maybe I should make a few. If it'd be something you'd think that you would want to add to your blog or forum leave me a comment (can be anonymous, I'm not picky). And yes, before someone asks, I will do Twilight ones, lol. Now comment me!!

Cleaning Today

Just a note to let ya know I'm cleaning out old blog posts again today. All the old sales ads will be removed, and I'm also double checking making sure I have all my tags that I've made recently posted. So if something disappears on ya while you were lookin' at it, you're not crazy, it's me in here playin'!

Creative Misfits

Just thought I'd show ya a tag that I made for my signature at the Creative Misfits forum. I will make one similar that you will be able to request.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my hunni! luvs ya! He's celebrating by working a twelve hour shift today =( We are going out to dinner tonight though with family. A local sports bar so some of us can watch the King hold Court. And for those of you going WTH? that means I'm a huge Lebron James and Cavaliers fan! I desperately wanted them to sweep in four like the first two series, cause this dragging it out is hard on me, lol. Been watching the Lakers/Nuggets games too. So it's b ball for me every night. Have to look through my files and see what I have for basketball kits to make some tags.

Anyway, the other reason why I'm posting is to let you know that the reason I haven't been creating anything new for ya'll. I've decided that before I'm dearly sorry, I'm backing up my external hardrive to dvds and cds. Just my photos alone took six dvds. I started on my scrapping file and I'm burning disk six now, and still have six or so more to go. I haven't even looked at my tagging file yet, prolly be just as bad. I have around 400+ gb to back up. I'd be devastated if something happen to my files, so for once I'm being proactive. The disks are going in my fire proof safe under lock and key. Which does make me wonder...if something happens to the safe and its in a fire, and the keys are lost/destroyed, how do you get in the safe?

Ok, back to organizing...hopefully be back soon!

So What Has Been Up With Me Lately...

You may ask...well, even if you didn't, I'm tellin' ya. I'm having a hard time accessing Fotki, 4Shared, and a few other well used sites with my IE. I'm beyond frustrated with that. Couldn't get them to load using Mozilla either, now I'm using Opera. My Incredimail hates me, yes, I'm convinced of this. But....there is good news! If you have any tag orders from me from anywhere that I offer them, they are all completed! I'm going to do another clean up of my blog today to, clean out sales ads, etc. that are no longer current.

On a happier note, thank you for all my birthday emails, messages, etc. My mom bought me a laminating machine so I'll be able to finally do something about the projects that I have sitting here. Cousin baked me an apple pie and MIL baked me cupcakes so I have plenty of goodies to munch on. Hubby gave me money towards this months car payment so I'm definately happy there. So that is my life in a nutshell lately.

New Goodies Coming Soon

Hi ya'll. Cold enough for ya? It's -1° here with a windchill of -19°! Very, very windy and snowy. In between all my domestic diva duties, I've been trying to finish up at least one kit out of the how ever many I have started now. It's almost done...black and pink theme, and will also have a FTU add on. Also have a FTU paperpack coming out and who knows what else, lol. Should be done by Tuesday I hope. Tomorrow is the big day for my step daughter to come home, so I'll be busy most of the day. Will see you soon with an update...promise! Until then, stay warm kiddies.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish all of my American friends wherever you may be a Happy Thanksgiving!! May you be able to count your blessings as many, and pray for those that need a few more. I would like to give thanks to my friends and family that have helped me make it through the last couple of months, you are very much appreciated!

Adobe Reader Question

Happy DigiScrapDay!!!!

I know the answer to this is going to be really simple, but I am SOOOOOOOO frusterated!!!! When you download newsletters that have 4 shared links in them, how on earth do you get those to open? It shows the link, but it won't open. HELP!!!! Puhleeze, I'm begging...
