If ya like your grouping/clusters ready to go.. or wanna create your own.. then I think you'll like this little grouping of elements.. A bit rough, but ready to use.

Now I'm off to take some pictures of stuff around the house.. And get ready for delivery of the bigger Hot tub. It's gonna be needed and well used after spending all this energy Learning Layers!! Loves ya. Granny

Time Passes

Yup and Yikes!! where did the time go? Between all the rainy weather this month, my eye surgery and learning a bunch of ways to use templates, I really forgot all about blogging and my cyber friends. I really must get me one of those "reminder" things...one that rings a bell and yells at me!! (do they make such things? I'd have to buy a couple.) so Here is a cute little mini using some of those new things I've been learning.
New colors, styles, patterns and png files for me.. and I almost Killed the "Beast" downloading files..then remembered to move and delete things that don't work or I don't use. DUH!!

Link is disabled-sorry:

Elements from RoseLi at Commercial-Use dot com. Styles and patterns from Adobe dot com/freebies for members.

Since my surgery, I've learned that sight is 90% the problem with my fuzzy/blurry files and elements. I hope I've gotten that corrected now. I'll have to go back thru my old files and get the corrections going..but that will not happen soon. It is summer time and the New Hot Tub is due to be installed this coming week..garden to tend with new tomatoe & pepper plants. Biking club to catch up with..I'm joining this time!! There has to be a Senior Citizen catagory for short rides around this area somewhere, right? This is Peoria, after all..a nice BIG CITY!!

I plan on spending more time out of doors doing some physical activities..whether it is walking a dog or riding my bike. It's time to tone up for the silly swim suit weather.. ugh!! Don't Look in the mirror, just throw on a cover up and ignore that lil ol fat lady!! Scales don't lie- 150 lbs. Never weigh that much even when PG with any of my 3 children!! at 5'3" I'm only 30 lbs over the Limit!! LOL

Gotta get going..the sun has risen and I have some plans for this holiday.. Memorial Day. Gosh they sure put things too early on this years calendar.. Hate it!!

Happy Mothers Day

Just added a couple more Freebie Sites over on the Right.. lots of Mothers Day goodies out there for you digi scrappers. I can't believe how much one can get. The quality is pretty darn good from each freebie giver..and a ton of themes to play with.

Sorry it's a short posting this time, but the eyes are healing, the spot on My right cheek is itching (cyst removed) and I can't sit still long enough to create much. Hoping to get a qp or two done for another challenge.. It's due by Monday.. LOL.

Weather is so nice during the day, that I can't seem to stay inside..got some plants to get in the ground and a quilt to finish.. Guess which one will get done FIRST??

Spread the Love!

It only seems like yesterday when I first met a wonderful, caring lady on the paper scrapping forums, but it was over 4 years ago that I read her introduction in a forum and from there we
connected and developed a great friendship via the web.. both of us made the journey into the Digital Scrapping world and continue to keep track of each other.. personal as well as scrapbooking. Thru the years we have met and made friends with so many wonderful gals who never ask the whys but jump right in and contribute when one of us need a helping hand.. so I want to thank all the designers who contributed..and a special Thank You to Babydoll's Scrapz for pulling everything together and making this a reality. Hugs and humble Thanks to all who took part in this Gift Of Love. Granny

I'm allowed

to be forgetful every now and then...after all I have this reputation to uphold with being a Senior
Citizen.. The Drugs just can't be blamed for all my little OPPsies..

Still lovin what I am learning and once I get everything loaded to the 4 share, I'll have a goodie or 2 to share with ya.. but I still have to do some blog hoppin before calling it a night. BabydollScraps has a freebie QP that her friends 6 yr old made.. It is adorable!! What a talented little cutie!! (Yes, I am jealous!!)

OK. enough .. the itching (healing) process has started and I have to tie my hands to my sides to keep from scratching and tearing out the stitches.. Woke up in a hurry from that little trick early this morning.. Ouch!!

Surgery over...racoon eyes

Well the Gif file doesn't seem to like it here.. anyhow, I made it and it works At http://www.pixelpapergarden.com/forum/ (it flashes to House Mouse with little meece's running up and down it)

Surgery went well.. I can see more just got Racoon eyes now. Not alot of pain, just nagging type that lets ya know you can't sit in front of a computer screen for long without vision going blurry.

So will have to get off here, find fresh ice pack and take more tylenol.. maybe get a couple more hours of sleep.. It's 4 a.m. here.

Hope to get some special goodies packaged and ready to post here in a day or two.. Miss ya all. But I'm learning tons of new stuff with PSE... So as I learn, I'll share with ya some more free stuff. Hugs... Granny
