our weekend

This weekend was good... cleaned ... hung out with family.. then today we got to see 2 of our very close friends from Houston. They came up to Plano, because of one of Steph's dear friends hubby has cancer and he had surgery.. we are glad to report that the surgery went GREAT..and the docs think he will be fine. Thank goodness. I wouldn't know what to think if my hubby had cancer. We pray that he is safe and out of the woods now.. It was great to see Steph and Justin... we have made plans to go tubing down the guadaloupe with them this summer and the boys.. That should be a memorable trip.. most of you know that we are all 5 redheads so uhm, we need to stock up on the SPF 70 for this trip.. lol... Well I hope to work on some brushes for Vday cards and play around and get something finished this week...

Hope you all have a great week!

Take this cool quiz!

Windows Live Writer test

I have this up and I am writing.. but I want to add a cool

signature..who can help me?

My ears were burning tonight...

So I went with my gut and check my friends blogs.. and I was right.. please go check out Jen's blog.. http://craftylilmomma.blogspot.com I love this girl!! She is ALWAYS there for me.. and has truly inspired me so much!

a lot of times I am out of pocket some would say.. I should update y'all on what's going on with me..

I have chronic abdominal pain, and lumbar back pain.. We are not sure if it is from a wreck I had in 2000 or if from the 3 major surgeries that I have had done since my youngest was born in mid 2000. I have had my large intestine removed and FULL hysterectomy at the age of 22. 2 yrs later my small bowel obstructed. So we don't know if some of this pain is from the scar tissue, or nerves that are being rubbed against, then I have been told that I have fibromyalgia and IBS ...
so the past year I found a pain doctor that truly listens to me and I have had back injections once a month this past year, with my latest one this past Tuesday. I have found that a few days after that I am a little just tired and sore, therefore no one hears from me...

However I do want people to know that I am still wanting to get my business off the ground. I did download some paintbrushes for Photoshop 7 that I am trying to understand how come for everyone else you just place the swirl that you want on the card and press enter and it stays, but for me it just moves with my mouse. I am trying to get my website together.. I did hear about a site this morning from WFAA, in dallas, that they found a website that helps you to make your website. I have a domain that I have had for a year but I am someone who can not understand all the html garb so I thought that I would have someone create it for me.so that is where that is..

Now that I have taken up 5 mins that you won't get back, thank you for still checking on me. I love y'all. Now I am going to check out what Jen was talking about Windows Live Writer..

Night y'all

Website design myself or not

I am soo confused! I bought my domain with godaddy.com, and I am trying to use their website tonight to design my page and I am just not getting the results that I want. I am going to be an online store basically and I want the page to represent what I want and me so that I get business, make sense? Well there are soo many different companies that will make and host the page for WAHM then there other types that will do it.. well I am asking what are your experiences with this? What are your thoughts that might help me?

Thank guys!

GOT THE LAPTOP TODAY!!

Yea!! I got my new laptop today!! Now I can get started with my designing and creating all these cool awesome ideas I have in my head!! I am soo excited! I have to get busy with my two books on working with photoshop.. so I can stop bugging Jen about all these things.. but man I still need her help!!! Hope everyone had a GREAT XMAS!!!

MERRY XMAS...Santa tags, tooth fairy letters, Jen Harris!

MERRY XMAS!!!!

Now I just wanted to mention something and see what response I get...

If there were something say a letter or card you could put under your child's pillow when they loose a tooth, would you? Second if you had the choice of purchasing " to labels" for presents that are personalized with your child's name on it and it would say Santa in the from section, would you buy that? Let's go so far as to say, what about something or labels from the Easter Bunny???

My good friend, Jen Harris from Craftylilmomma, came up with this AWESOME idea and I have just been running all kinds of ideas through my head.. I would have invested in this had it been available to me... so why wouldn't anyone else?

Let me know your thoughts!

MY WORLD TODAY

Good day all,

I hope you are getting all your xmas shopping done.. there is soo much... I have gotten everything but 2 gifts.. whew.. this is the first year that I have not had to wait until Xmas eve to finish.. and I ordered almost everything online. So this it the time I will see if it easier to do online or not... or worth it.. hahha

I have ordered the cards, and one shirt.. got a twitter account and am trying to get my name somewhere.. I have soo many ideas and things that I want to do.. but Rome wasn't built in a day.. so I am trying to be patient.

The garage door is being replaced.. and the dogs are going nuts.. trying to think with dogs going nuts is soo hard.. it is like the boys are all home and yelling .....

Tell me about your day

So many ideas...

I have so many ideas of what I need to do and what I want to do to get this going.. I have a new logo that is vibrant and pretty. I am going to be updating my blog page and my- myspace page, too. I already ordered my new business cards and I also ordered on shirt! I keep telling myself that I can do this and there is really no reason why I can't do it! It is my fault only if it fails. Does anyone know how to make a layout for my blog page? I don't quite get that..

I do want to share with you who the wonderful angel was that created my new logo.. here name is craftylilmomma.. Most all of you know her by that name.. she created my first logo and myspace background and I loved it too! She is sooo creative and smart. I love her business sense. I love her caring and big heart and how much patience she has. Without her I wouldn't be doing this. I know that I would not have been able to do this without her support. Thanks Jen!
