Girl - Angel - Christmas graphics-all free-@ Easy As Pie Daily Graphics

Good morning!

And THANK YOU, Wall Lights! For leaving a comment the other day. While the blog does take a little time, the website takes even more. I love making my graphics, and I do hope others take them and use them. So thank you so much!

Today's items are over at my website, Easy As Pie Daily Graphics dot com. Head on over and pick them up.

My husband has bought us a new living room set. You can read all about it over at my website, too.

Some days, there's news about my hamster, Betzy, too.

Today, this little girl or angel, are both available. The decorative background is one layer, but it is transparent, so you can choose the color to set it on. There is a green one, and a gold one.

Christmas is such a short time away now. I hope you are all set to go.

I hope to have my 10-year old granddaughter for a visit one day and night this week. She and her family will come over for our celebration on Christmas Eve!! I'm so excited.

My husband special-ordered one of her gifts that we just couldn't find. The store called yesterday, and told him it was ready to pick up. He went and got it ... so she should be very excited this year.

I still have shopping to do for my 7-month old granddaughter. And my husband! I am off all this week, so will get that done early. I am on vacation for the next 2 weeks, and that will give me lots of extra time for my graphics.

I had a luncheon celebration on Thursday with my school-aged granddaughter. It was very nice, and I thoroughly enjoyed it and my day.

Our annual district Christmas party was Friday, and that, too, was very enjoyable. I made 3 sculpey items: minature Christmas tree decorations, for our white elephant gift game. Twenty-six people decided to play; including me. This is my most favorite tradition of our party for many (and me!).

There are 26 presents and 26 players. The presents all sit together, and we each draw a number. I was #24. The #1 player was a guy, and he was seated at our table, two seats down from me. He chose my little wrapped gift box. He didn't know what they were, till I told him, but he thought they were cute.

My co-worker and friend sitting across from me had a number that came up. As per the rules allow, you may pick a unknown, wrapped gift, or "steal one" from a gift already opened. She has a minature tree at work on her desk, and I'd made a teddy bear ornament for it, so, of course, she stole the 3 new ornaments. She was delighted!

Unfortunately, and to MY SURPRISE, it was stolen away almost at the end by my supervisor's supervisor: a man! (Sorry, Tiff!)

All and all -- it was great fun! And I stole a lady's bear frame with 2 matching bear sculptures. Like I said ... it was great fun!

Now all this week -- there have continued to be many new graphics going up each day on my website, so don't let another minute pass without heading over and grabbing them. Just tuck them aways in a folder. Folder: EAPDG > (folder) 2010 > (folder) December > (folder) the date of the kit. That was easy!

Have a really terrific week ... and go get those graphics!

Happy shopping!

Christmas Wish List 2--free png graphic kit downloads

Good Sunday morning!

My first picture just represents the number of days left to work this year! Oh my! Only 4 days!!!

Hey! I do love my job, and I am so thankful to have it. It's interesting ... and harrowing, at the same time. I will NOT go into the details though.

This picture shows 4 of the items in Wish List 2 (Wish List 1 is on 12/11.) There are about 8 backgrounds, 2 papers, and some miscellaneous items that didn't make it into yesterday's kit.


This is one of the backgrounds in today's kit; 12/12/10, Wish List 2.

The kit has a psp layered set for those that have a graphics program. They are in psp format.

Then there are the individual pngs also. There are a few jpgs in every kit as well. Most of the things in png format and psp format are transparencies. They are all free to use p-cu (personal-commercial use ... with credits). They are perfect for scrapbooking.

Most pngs/graphics are no bigger than 500 x 600, and that is usually the base I use to start my graphics. Some graphics are just plain small. Take your own imagination, and put them together to accent your projects. It's fun ... and easy.

Best downloaded into a file folder by name of the kit and date. One big kit folder could be: EAPDG-Dec 2010. Since there is a kit each day, you would have tons of graphics in no time at all.

I do a lot of fantasy characters. And Whimsey's, which are whimsical creatures developed from "scribble" drawings. That is why I sometimes say it's "accidental art". It's what my imagination sees and developes into completetion.

I finished my out-of-town shopping yesterday. I hope to get them out tomorrow; Monday.

I am looking forward to my 2 week vacation! Lots of time to rest ... and create.

Hope you have a fantastic Sunday!

Christmas Wish List-Free PNG graphics kit downloads


Good Saturday morning -- to all you Christmas shoppers out there!!!

The holiday season is moving right along. And ... today, I have a new free png graphics kit download over at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics. See the picture for the details.

This is part one of the kit. There is currently a part 2 kit in this Kit: Wish List. I don't know whether there will be more yet, as I'm still creating. Part 2 will be up tomorrow.

Today, I hope to get my out-of-town gifts ready to go! I only have 2 to go really. My grandkids in TX, and my niece and nephew in MO.

The younger kids in TX are getting something suitable to hug since they are still very young. My MO kids are getting something I dearly love, and gives me hours upon hours of fun! I hope they like them. My granddaughter in town is also getting the hours upon hours of fun stuff!!!

My new granddaughter is only 6 months old, and will be closer to 7 months old at Christmas. Her mommy prepared her "Wish List" for her. I am hoping I can find a few of those items, and maybe a cute outfit.

I am forgoing adults this year. I will send a Christmas card to them. Christmas is really for children mostly anyway!

I am cooking a 15-lb. turkey this morning. It was a $23 turkey, and I only paid $15 for it. I bought it last weekend, and it spent the week thawing in my basement fridge.

My husband had his birthday yesterday. He received -- from me -- a new coffee maker that is programmable, turns off after 2 hours, and tells you how much water you have in it. He doesn't make his coffee in it, as he prefers instant, so he just runs the water through it. But his old one didn't turn off automatically.

He got some great black socks with good arch support -- as he travels from company to company doing his job. He walks A LOT! He got some underwear (shhhh!), and the one thing he requested: gloves (more like the kind I have). I found some gloves, but unfortunately, they are too small. He told me a medium ... but these medium are really small. I bought them anyway, and today, we'll exchange them. They are not exactly like mine, but I loved them. They are black genuine leather and very comfy and warm -- once he can get his hands in them, of course.

Both my husband and I are looking forward to Christmas. I have the whole week before Christmas off -- and the week after. My husband will be home with me the week after Christmas, so it will be a very pleasant holiday.

My granddaughters, daughter and son-in-law, will come over Christmas Eve, and we'll have our Christmas for them then. They will have Christmas at home, and then my 10-year old granddaughter will join her father's family for that Christmas week in their home, in TN.

Hoping you all have a successful shopping season, and that you catch all the sales!

Now go pick up the free png graphics kit download! Have fun!

Free PNG Graphic Kit Downloads -- Flying home for Christmas

Good morning,

This kit is called "Flying Home" (for Christmas). I used the free graphics from today and a few from previous kits, all available this month, on my website, Easy As Pie Daily Graphics.

Thought I'd put it into a tag. The tag is also available in the kit today. Or grab all the kits from this month, and create your own.

As usual, I'm into fantasy creatures. There's no right or wrong with fantasy!

Hope you'll check them out.

Had to take a sick day yesterday. I spent the day in bed with a horrible headache. I was all dressed and ready to go yesterday morning, and making my lunch when my eyes were filled with blinding lights. I could hardly see, and I was dizzy. My vision was blurry and doubled. It lasted for 15 minutes ... and then the headache, which lasted till 8:30 pm last night.

I slept most of the day and all night.

We'd lit the kerosene heater yesterday morning, and the alarm went off about 4:30 am. I'm wondering if it was "carbon monoxide" poisioning. I don't know the symptoms, but that's the only thing that was different about yesterday morning. My husband was NOT affected, nor was my hamster, Betzy!

I'm only glad I wasn't already on the road when it happened. It's bad enough to suffer through that kind of attack, but horrific if it happens when it's possible other lives could be affected.

I still have a "tenderness" at my left temple today, but am waiting for that to leave.

Stay safe, warm, and hope the holidays bring you much joy!

Pick up my free graphics! Go do it today!

Thanks.

Free Graphics and png kit downloads -- and a tip!

Good morning!

Just a little "for fun" graphic this morning. You'll still find free png graphic kit downloads over at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics!

I have an interesting tip about iceberg lettuce today. Of course, I did read it in my favorite magazine, Woman's World.

Years ago, they used to say that iceberg lettuce was pretty much water, and not as full of nutrients as darker greens. I always wondered about that because I don't think there's anything that God designed that is NOT beneficial in some way.

With lots of Vitamin K, it shuts "down as many as 100% of cancerous cells on contact." Wow! Now that seems pretty MIGHTY to me.

The way I see it in reading, it acts like a policeman, not destroying, but "forces them to behave like normal cells, dividing slowly without creating troublesome tumors!" Double WOW!

And I have read more than once in this wonderful magazine, and in the South Beach Diet book, that it's okay to use a small amount of full-fat salad dressing as it helps the body absorb the Vitamin K! I never eat much dressing anyway, so a small amount is perfect for me!

A 2 oz. serving (140 mcg) amount is perfect of this wonderful lettuce and can also be found in spinach, broccoli, brussel sprouts, watercress, endive, kale or swiss chard. That's quite a group to choose from.

I love salad, and often have it for breakfast. People think it's strange, but salad is just one of those wonderful things I've always enjoyed. It's nice to know that it's SO BENEFICIAL!

Eat your salad to help stay cancer-free, and pep up your graphics and creativity, with free graphics over at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics!

Have a really great day! And thanks -- Woman's World -- for all the wonderful tidbits you give women every week in your wonderful magazine!!! (Did I mention I love this magazine? --No, I get nothing from them, other than pure enjoyment.)

Have a creative, healthy day!

Elf Tag for the Christmas Season-Free PNG Kits

Good Saturday morning!

Ah! December is here, and everybody will be busy trying to complete their shopping lists, and get them out before the big day!

Easy As Pie Daily Graphics still has new graphics going up each day. Some will have Christmas items. This little elf is from either last year or several years ago. I used him in this little Christmas tag, and it's in a free downloadable png kit for 12/5 and 12/6. There are some bonus items in some of the kits, and it doesn't say so on the featured kit.

Snow is being predicted for today in our area of Ohio. Really hope we don't get it.

Take care, and check out the free png kits.
