Mon and Tues: Free graphics

Good morning,

I was not able to post yesterday. I just ran out of time.

So, today, I took graphics from my website that are offered today, as well as the flower deco in the bottom right hand corner (which was offered yesterday), and combined everything to make a post for today.

I did not put any titles or words on it because it's meant to be blank, so you can use it.

Shortly, it will time for me to rush off to work. I have been trying to sleep a little more each morning, as I've been fighting "falling asleep" later in the day. I've never had that happen before, but it happened last Friday, and again yesterday. I figure my body may be sleep deprived, so I'm trying to force myself to sleep a little more. Don't know how it will work out.

Had a headache yesterday, and woke up with a massive headache this morning. I didn't have any caffeine yesterday, and had not made coffee yet this morning. After drinking a cup, my headache vanished. Also maybe another reason for the "sleepies".

A title I thought of for this creation: Merry Christmas in the lower left hand area where the lines are. And then up where the kalei creature is: From my world ... to yours, I'm wishing you a ....

Three more days left for me to work this week; and then my REAL vacation starts. The few days before a vacation always go sooooo slow! But, it will get here.

Take care. Have a productive day. And I hope you'll use this creation somehow.

Good morning,

It's almost here! So here's another little offering for you.

Don't forget to grab the snags on my website today.

Have a great day.

Sat 12/12/09 Sammy The Cat-Inspiration to Finished Creation

Good morning,

I really enjoy creating when I have more time in the mornings.

Today, I thought I'd share how many of my creations come into being.

This is in honor of Sammy (my cat), who walked out my door just five weeks ago now. I had him for about 5 years.

Sammy never came back. What happened to him, I'll probably never know.

My husband doesn't like cats, but even he had to say, "For a cat ... he's pretty great!" (He's a dog lover.)

This is kind of a mini tutorial just showing you the progression of Sammy The Cat!

Sammy The Cat started from the first picture at the very top, left. This little creature was in a kaleidoscope I did. I copied just that portion of the kalei, and pasted him into a new image. I then started a separate image, using this for comparison, and started shaping what I wanted from it.

You can see each step. I worked my way down to his neck, and found another kalei I liked for the collar around Sammy's neck. And because it's Christmas, I thought I'd make him holding a card that he needs to get in the mail.

When I create, I usually create in this manner. Sammy The Cat is on my website today. He's much bigger! Since my website was created to feature 3 new free graphics each day, he will only be up today. By early morning tomorrow ... he and the other 2 creations will be history. Snag my daily creations as they happen.

I'm rather pleased with Sammy The Cat. I hope you'll grab him, and put him in some wonderful creation of your own.

I have a very busy weekend ahead, and a busy week next week. As of Friday, 12/18, I am off till January 4th, 2010. I hope to get a lot of creating done during that time, as well as get my tiny home office organized.

And, of course, I still need to get my cards out ... for work and home ... as well as finish Christmas shopping.

Have a great day! See you tomorrow.

Good morning!

This will be a fast post, as I'm running late this morning.

These two flowers in the creation here are on my website, and you're free to pick them up today. Tomorrow, they will be gone.

It is Friday ... and that is awesome.

Make it a good and productive one!

12/10/09 Happy Birthday! To my husband, Ray!

Good morning,

It's a great day for my hubby ... as it's his birthday! Unfortunately, he does not have the day off. (Sorry, sweetie.)

It's hard to believe that you're 58 today!

This is the card I made for him. I started out with something different (see those on my website), but decided to go a different route.

My husband's job keeps him on the road, so I'm hoping today won't bring rain or snow. I haven't checked the weather yet ... but I know that it's supposed to keep getting colder (duh! ... it is winter!)


I especially liked this flower deco, and in honor of Ray's birthday, thought I'd post a few extras here today.

If you like them, go on and grab them.

That's why I make them.

Scrapbooking can be so expensive nowadays, and I love making my own creations. But, I'd love for you to use them for any projects you might be working on.

I'd love to see what you do with them, but if not; that's okay, too! Just enjoy.

I made a matching envelope, and of course, there is an inside to the card; not posted.

And the last little flower deco.

So. What did I get my husband?

I gave him what he requested ... money. Money is one of those things we never dislike, hide away, or turn down. We don't usually recycle it as a gift to someone else. We use it! For whatever we want at the moment.

Today, in my reading, I found out you can get a special, "time-limited", temporary phone number from iNumbr.com. You choose the time limit, and link it to the phone you want messages delivered to. Wow! And ... the phone number you link it to is safe, as they won't sell it to telemarketers! Hmmmm. New things always coming out that make our lives easier.

I do hope you have a terrific day! Stay warm! And safe.

12/9/09 Wednesday Free Graphics

Good morning!

Today’s offering is something I call “My Christmas Wish … Is…”.

I put the items far enough apart so you can cut them out individually and use them, if you wish.

On my website, you can find 3 other scrapping decos.

I love steak, but it is red meat. My doctor wants me to eat less red meat, and more fish.

And now I’ve read that fish/seafood is actually more filling, and helps eliminate cravings. My article I'm reading says that eating 3 oz. of salmon, tuna, mackerel or trout (aim for 3 times a week) for lunch reduces afternoon snacking … and that it helps you eat 11% fewer calories at dinner. The strong flavor of fish satisfies your taste buds, and the proteins in fish take longer to digest. Result: eat less.

Ok. I like fish a lot.

Have a really great Wednesday!

12/8/09 Tuesday Free Graphics

Good morning!

This morning, I’ve created a deco box for today.

Deco boxes can contain a picture inside the blank space or a title or small amounts of journaling. On this one, there is space around the bottom and along the left side to add other decorations.

In my reading today, I found that bile, from your gallbladder, helps you break down fat faster. So. Bile is a good thing, and we want more of it released.

Also, magnesium helps relieve water retention.

Fresh mint leaves contain what is needed to do both of these things! It supposedly can help your body drop a pound a week.

Suggested uses for mint leaves: use it in your tea, in salads, and in desserts. What other uses can you think of to use mint leaves?

Have a really great Tuesday!
