Merry Christmas!!!!!

I've made a Christmas e-card for you.  I hope you like it.  :)  Just click the image to view it larger.

I'll write about our Christmas tomorrow, but for now I'll just say that we had a Christmas miracle.

I'm about to start work on peeling some potatoes for Sweet Potato Casserole, so I've gotta run. 

Have a great remainder of the day!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve!

I got some writing done, but not much. I hit a snag and had to do some research. After doing the research, I realized I needed a plotting/ researching chat, and managed to get on with P. That helped a lot, and now I can continue the character journal entry today. :)

Jeff made dinner last night: Chicken Parmesan with pasta. It was yummy, as all of his cooking is. :)

And today, I'm fixing dinner. I spent a couple of hours getting everything ready for a beef stew and it's all in the slow cooker. All I have to do is check on it periodically and add the peas later this afternoon.

I'm hoping to go to Sweet Bay tonight. I don't know if anyone from the Yetis will be there, but I've got a good reason to go if no one else is there: Grapevine Video free movie downloads! :) One of them is a Felix the Cat cartoon. I love Felix! :D

I also may try to download some free digital scrapbooking stuff from RAK Scraps. I don't have anything "Christmassy."

Anyway, for today, I'll be working on one or two character journal entries, doing some editing in my Nano Novel, and chatting with P (and hopefully M.) about the Romanian part of my latest story.

And, if I'm lucky, Sweet Bay. :) That would give Jeff some time to finish his Christmas shopping.

Have a great day, everyone! :D

Creativity and Headaches:

Today, I'll be working on photo editing. I may work on a digital scrapbook page or two, as well.

I also need to type up the first page or two of Mira and send it on to my friend and see how she likes it.

I think I need to do some computer maintenance, too. I don't know if it's Vista, Firefox or my wireless connection, but I've been getting a lot of headaches when I'm online lately. I often have to restart my browser or my computer or both. It's like my connection stalls or something. It doesn't make any sense to me, but I've got to do some kind of maintenance, at least. :/

Anyway, those are my plans for today.

Have a good one!

Birthday eCard:

Today's my mom's 70th birthday! :D

And just in case my sister sees this and wants to print it out for her:

We hope you have a great day, Mom! :)

Love you,

Jeff, Lois, Eric, Chelsey, Josiah and Chloe

Floral Digital Scrapbook Page:

I've made a new digital scrapbook page. The photos were taken by a friend of mine and she wanted me to scrapbook them. The papers and other elements are from Scrapgirls.com and Scrapbook.com.

Enjoy, and let me know what you think, if you would be so kind. :-)

Baby Josiah (or, to me, JOEY):

These are all made with Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 and digital papers and embellishments I bought at either Scrapbook.com or Scrapgirls.com. I own the copyrights to the completed projects, but not to the individual papers and embellishments from those sites.

I'm planning on making a new scrapbook page, but first I've got some writing to do. :-)

Hope you enjoyed the digital scrapbook pages! :-D

Another Scrapbook Page of My Mom:

This one has my mom with my son, Eric, his girlfriend, Chelsey, and their son, Josiah.

The text under the photos refers to how she reacted when they asked her if she wanted to hold the little bundle of joy. :-)

This time I used digital papers and embellishments I purchased from Scrapbook.com, as well as Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. I hold the copyright to the completed scrapbook page, but not the individual elements I used in it's creation.





This is my favorite one...so far. ;-)

Two Digital Scrapbook Pages:

I've recently begun making new digital scrapbook pages and I wanted to share two of them here.

The papers and embellishments are from Scrapgirls.com and I used Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 to make the pages.

I own the copyright to the completed page, but not to the page elements I got from Scrapgirls.


The first one is a picture of my mom with my son, Eric, and my cat, Chloe:




The second photo is of my mom, my son, Eric, and his girlfriend, Chelsey:




I have more to post, but I'm getting off here to do some writing. I'll post another one or two tomorrow.
