Beautiful Sunday & the Diva!

Well we made it to dance again today. Yesterday Hannah was told she would be a "red" fish for the show in May.... Well, my little diva of a child was crushed..she wanted to be a blue fish (no girly girly stuff for her these days) - So she give me that, Mother, be my hero and save me from this horror" broken hearted protest so what do I do? Oh yeah, I act like the overly rediculous Mother of the Diva child and ask the dance teacher if there is any flexability on the "color"... cringe cringe! Low and behold, I'm a hero... Dance Teacher lined up all the kids, worked out the colors visually and changed Hannah to Turquoise! I know, I know.. terribly indulgent..but hey, a Diva only lives once!

Here's the Daily Download for Sunday at GDS..It's from Shana! Thanks Shana!

Saturday's Scoop

Thanks for your opinions on the blogger vs. wordpress issue... looks like I'm gonna be forced to be familiar with both, which seems ok with you all's encouragement. Guess I'll live...LOL!

Hannah was suppose to start baseball today, but it was cancelled due to it being too cold and windy. Yaaaay! No freezing our buns off today :) Of course there's dance workshop at 10 am so the fun never ceases anyways... not complaining... I love it when we get there and I get to watch her doing her dancing...it's the getting out the door that makes it so stressful!

Anyways, hope your day is not as stressful and warm and beautiful!

And here's a little something to get you started... Check out Helen's Daily Download for today...

Blogger or Wordpress?

I've always used blogger and now we have gone to wordpress on the site, so I'm learning wordpress now. Do you have a preference? I'm actually getting the hang of it now and it seems pretty user friendly. :)

Bringing back the GDS Daily Download!

What an exciting thing! Seems like it's been so long since we did the daily downloads...and yes, they drove me crazy and yes, sometimes I hated the program...but today, I'm loving it again. It's great to see some of the past community members stop in..it's great to look forward to finding out what the next Designer in the rotation will create... it's just plain ole' great!

Home for the Day....

So much to do today. What is it about the holidays that make us grow so crazy stressing ourselves out? And then you turn around and it's all over and we are sitting around wondering where did the day go? Hey, I guess I'll take it. Any opportunity to stop the world and spend the day with family is a good good thing! Hope you enjoy the day, no matter what you're doing :)


Here's my contribution to the Scrap Now for Autism Charity Kit. I was just happy to be doing something. I hate the helplessness associated with watching others go through this.

Happy Easter Weekend!

Lot's of fun happening... You Can Check it out here!


What a week! So glad it's the weekend. Can't wait to have all the kids home for a visit tomorrow. It's hard when they grow up and move out..Much harder than I ever imagined it would be. Then again, no more dirty clothes, dirty dishes, fighting, loud crazy music -- who am I kidding, between Hannah and Kristin, none of that has changed... I'd take it all again with the boys just to have them home. Alright, enough sap already from me this morning.

Finally put my newest kit in the store.. yaaay!



And there's the Meet My... Princess Challenge with this posting bonus!

Disregard..

It's a Home Grown Call

GDS has exciting news! We've always gone "out into the digi-world" to do our Designer calls. Not today! It's so exciting to send out such an "intimate" call. And now I'm kicking myself for not having thought of it sooner... We have the most fantastic community, why in the world would we not call from within. Boy, I can be so dumb sometimes...Anyways, already have a few interested prospects and it's so exciting!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!

It's a home Grown Call

It's Magical!

Sitting at dinner last night, just Hannah and I and she says to me, "So hard to chew with your lips closed." Then she paused, tried doing a little more polite chewing and slowly turns and smiles at me and finishes with, "we don't really have to right now, no one's here but you and me!".... What a riot...and what fun she is going to be as a teenager!

I always wanted to be able to do one of those magical layouts. I just never was any good at - just couldn't get the perspective right. Then yesterday I was playing around making some "springy like" kinda papers and the next I knew I was making wings... and then the magic happened! I think I love Saturdays!

It's a Weekend Thing!

Here's What Other's Have Already Had To Say:
[I]
"I participated in the Beginner's Class in October. I have been using PSP for several years but felt that I knew very little. I wanted a firm foundation and basic knowledge of the program to use it to its full potential. Daphne's explanation and videos are awesome. Being able to read the lessons and also see the application make it so much easier to learn. I learned shortcuts and felt the material really explained areas I had previously not fully understood. I especially learned from the Template lesson and working with text. I also now can use tools that I had previously shied away from. Being able to ask questions through the Forum is also very helpful. I highly recommend this course and cannot say enough about Daphne's professional ability and readiness to help her students."

"I took this course in November, having completed the Beginner's class. This course really builds on basic concepts. I especially have enjoyed the lessons on brushes and also photo techniques such as extractions that have intrigued me in the past, but I had no idea how to do. Daphne has developed the video lessons so that you can now download them to your computer and keep for future use as well as the written pdf lessons. This is invaluable, as I continually am going back to check a point. Daphne's practical approach to PSP make these lessons a valuable tool. She is also very knowledgeable in various versions of PSP and willing to help you wherever you are. I highly recommend this class and I look forward to taking the Advance class after the holidays."[/I]
