Ok, folks, this is it for this year. I hope you have enjoyed all the gifts this month and that you can put them to good use. Thank you so much to my fans and all those who took the time to leave me a comment (some of which really touched my heart). I wish you all a very happy and healthy new year. Stay safe! See you in 2021! ENJOY!
One more day after today and I will be taking a break. If you want to be notified whenever I post something new, be sure to FOLLOW me by signing up on the right --> I do have a bunch of odds and ends that I will put up when I have time, so keep your eyes peeled for them. In the meantime, ENJOY!
Got these ready early, so hopefully I won't forget to post them :-) Just a few more days left. I hope you have been enjoying your Christmas gifts. I put these in two separate downloads as they were large. Be sure to get them both. ENJOY!
I'm so sorry. I usually post these the night before so that all time zones and areas can get them on time, but yesterday I got sick around 3:30 in the afternoon. Hubby and I were watching the mini series Kane and Abel (really old) since we had both just finished reading the book. All of a sudden it hit me and I had to go to bed. I stayed in bed until 7:30 or so and got up to have some chicken soup and take my evening pills. I then went back to bed and slept until 9 am this morning. I am feeling better this morning. So, anyway, here is your gift. ENJOY!
I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas despite everything. We are waiting on our daughter to deliver Christmas dinner for us. She is having the family over but we didn't want to expose ourselves. Just a few more days of gifts (until next year). Here is your gift for today. ENJOY!
Merry Christmas to you all. I hope you have a wonderful day however you decide to spend it. These are crazy times and Christmas is not the same this year. This gift is not what I intended for today, but it was a crazy, busy day and I didn't finish it. But hope you like this one. ENJOY!
Merry Christmas Eve. Hope you are all sitting around the fire (or the pool if you are in warmer weather) and enjoying a little egg nog. Do you open your gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? When I was growing up, my parents didn't wrap the gifts until after we were asleep (or pretending to be) on Christmas Eve and we could not open our gifts on Christmas morning until after we got home from church. Our daughter's family does Christmas Eve for all the gifts from Mommy and Daddy and others, and Christmas morning is when they discover the gifts from Santa Claus. However you do it, I hope it is exciting for you and that your day is happy and safe. Here is your gift from me. ENJOY!
Just a few more days until Christmas! Are you readyt? Here is your gift for today. ENJOY!
I am a little late posting today. Though I always post the night before (for example, I am posting this on Monday evening, Dec 21st, and it is actually tomorrow's gift), it was a busy birthday. Though we didn't go anywhere, everyone and everybody called. Since I have not talked with many of my callers for a while, they were looong conversations. This evening I got three phone calls while I was talking with my daughter who lives in New Mexico. And, now, it is actually past my bedtime. Last night was a rough one. I have a hip (left) which is bothering me - a lot! Years ago when they x-rayed my back, they told me that the left hip was bone on bone, but it really did not bother me until a month or so ago. I am not a back sleeper, so I sleep on my side and alternate throughout the night from left to right, but last night even when I was laying on my right side, my hip was throbbing! Ah well, the joys of old age. Thanks to all of you who took the time to comment. Anyway, here is your gift for today (Tuesday!). ENJOY!
Happy Birthday to me! I am 74 today (oh gosh, did I say that out loud?!) Despite severe arthritis pain which limits my mobility, I am doing well. Except for my grandmother, who was in her 80's when she died, I have lived to be older than any family member. Anyway, Happy Birthday to me. It will be quiet as we are still staying away from everyone. My hubby is going to make me one of my favorite dishes --Posole, a mexican dish we discovered while living in New Mexico, which is usually made during the holidays. I currently live in Ohio. I would love to know where you all are. If you have time, just leave me a comment with your city, state or country. A longer note would be great, but just your general location would be great too. I have had over 200,000 visitors since I created my blog in 2007 and I get hundreds of downloads of my gifts -- so I know you are all out there! In the meantime, here is my gift to you. ENJOY!

It's been another crazy, busy day. We enjoy watching TV after dinner and have been looking for a good series to binge watch or a good movie. If you have any recommendations, please share. We have Netflix and Prime.
Here is your gift for today. ENJOY!
This is a quick post as I still haven't finished my Christmas ecards. A bunch of Christmas brads for you today. ENJOY!

Another alpha for some of my favorite fans. I actually designed this one as an experiment for one of my layouts and thought I would share. Let me know what you think. Again, for those who don't like or use alphas, I've included a frame cluster and word art frame. ENJOY!
A couple of frames for you today. Spent the day looking through an external hard drive at all my photoshop styles. Not what I had planned to do today but, oh well, I get easily sidetracked .. LOL.. Heading inside now to make a grape salad and try out our new Ninja Foodi (a Christmas gift :-) with a pork roast. Anxious to see how it comes out. ENJOY!

It's been a crazy day and I almost forgot to post the gift! Now, a friend has come down with the virus. So many people we know have gotten sick. So far, none serious enough to be hospitalized (although one came close). Hope you are all staying safe and ENJOY your gift.

Today's gift is a Christmas alpha for those of you who said you liked alphas. For those who don't use them, I've included a word art and some brads. ENJOY!
Feeling better today, thanks for your comments and concern. I was busy today (again) and my sister called and talked for an hour and a half so I didn't get everything done I had planned to. But here are a couple of frames and two word arts -- only one is shown, but they are both the same except one is black.
ENJOY!
I was not feeling well again today after dinner. Not sure if I am coming down with something or what. I wasted a lot of time today searching for a specific silver photoshop style that I had years ago, but no luck. I normally try to get these loaded the night before to compensate for different areas, but if it happens that I don't, please rest assured I will get it up sometime during the day. In the meantime, ENJOY!

We have a very kind neighbor who has been bringing us our mail every day since June (it's a long walk down the driveway) since my husband fractured his back. He does not want him to fall. He has also been taking out our garbage. Despite his wife's failing health and then death, he still brought it every day, rain. snow or shine. Yesterday he called to tell us he tested positive for COVID-19. He said he feels fine and asked us to put a basket by the front door so he could still bring up the mail without any contact with us. There are still some unbelievably kind people in this world.
Here is my gift for today. ENJOY!

I wasn't feeling too well today. I got up feeling nauseous and went back to bed around 1 pm and slept all afternoon. (It's not covid, as we haven't been anywhere since March!) But, I had your gift ready. I just needed to rename the files, package them up, upload them and post.. I'm heading back to bed after I finish this. ENJOY!

It's been quite a while since I participated in a blog train, but since I normally do scrapbooking gifts for the month of December, I thought I would start with this.. ENJOY!
Today I have two quickpages and a word art. Next week I will have a special treat as I joined the Pixel Scrapper December blog train. AND, be sure to mark your calendars for the December daily treats. Every year for the past number of years, I have posted a freebie every day during December as my Christmas gift to you. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
The files are large, so I split them into two downloads.
The first is the top quickpage and word art and the other is the bottom right quickpage. ENJOY!
I have a question for you. Do any of you like or use Alphas? I normally don't but have on occasion found a nice alpha that I used in a page. I've made a few in years past to give as a freebie. As most of my followers know, every December for the past few years, I have done a December Daily -- a free gift every day for the month of December. If there is interest, I will maybe work on an alpha to give away as well. Also, how many like or use the CD case calendar I give each year?
I've got three for your today -- two quickpages and a word art. AND, I might actually get these up on time this week!! I've split these into two downloads because one would be large again. I'm not sure how many had trouble with the large download last week, but since I had the time, I split it into two. The first has the upper left QP (with the pumpkin) and the word art. ENJOY!
Gosh. Double gosh. I did it again. Today is Tuesday! I had your treat all ready but needed to make the preview and time just got away from me. The file is rather large (52mb) so if you need it broken down into smaller bites, just let me know. For now, I just wanted to get it online. ENJOY!
Another piece of word art I created for myself that I thought some one else could use. ENJOY!
I did it again. I lost track of the days. We had a doctor appointment yesterday (hubby) and I wasn't feeling well so went to bed early last night. So I put something together real quick. I hope you like it. Today is election day! No matter your political party, I hope you voted. ENJOY!
I created some word art for a layout I did of our great-grandson in the leaves and thought maybe someone else might like it.
OK, it's Sunday (I'm pretty sure) and I've got this all ready to go. So, I just have to remember to post this to the blog Monday night. ENJOY!

Oh my gosh, I am late again. I really am having trouble keeping track of the days! Last night, when I usually post, we got a call that our granddaughter, who is 36 weeks pregnant, was rushed to the hospital. She has pre-eclampsia (toxemia) again and they were going to deliver the baby early. But, her doctor evaluated and decided to send her home in the hopes they can wait at least another week to take the baby. It is a little girl, Juliette Renee. They already have two beautiful boys. Anyway, if you are a praying person, please pray for both mother and baby.
So today I have another fall quickpage and some wordart. I have been enjoying doing the wordart, so if there is a phrase you would like done, let me know and I'll give it a shot. No guarantees ... lol. So, here you go. ENJOY!

Been sitting here at my desk looking out the window at the trees turning color. So pretty. So, how about a fall quickpage and some word art? ENJOY!
I hope you are all staying safe. I hope you are not tired of the Halloween treats. I have a couple more for you. ENJOY!
Here is your last gift for Digital Scrapbooking Day (weekend). The weather is starting to turn dreary and cold. It is raining today. As long as I don't have to go out in it, I don't mind rain. I'm not crazy about cold weather as it makes it my back pain worse. But, as long as I have my computer, I can muddle through. I hope you enjoy using these treats as much as I enjoyed making them for you. And, I hope you are staying safe. ENJOY!
So, tomorrow is Digital Scrapbooking Day! Who knew they changed it back in 2016 from the first Saturday in November to the first Saturday in October? Anyway, we will be celebrating all weekend with some treats for you.
Some of you may think I made a mistake on the wordart and it should be Bubble Bubble Toil & Trouble but that is incorrect. The original quote Double Double ... came from MacBeth
Double double toil and trouble/Fire burn and cauldron bubble' is a rhyming couplet from Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, chanted by the supernatural three witches.
Anyway, I hope you like the quickpage and wordart. If you would prefer the wordart in white and cannot recolor it yourself, please let me know and i will be glad to make it for you.
Be sure to stop back tomorrow for more goodies. ENJOY!
Sorry I am a little late. I normally get these posted Monday evening so I don't forget. as I am so busy in the mornings. But I left myself a note last night so I would not forget today's treats. I especially like the way the wordart came out, so hope you do too. Can you believe it is almost October? We've been in lockdown pretty much since March except for grocery pickup and doctor appts, though the kids do stop by to visit and bring us lunch or dinner. We've been staying away from the grandkids and great-grandkids because they are out and about, carrying on with normal life, but at our age and with our health issues, we just cannot take a chance. I pray you are all staying safe in these crazy times. ENJOY!
I have a surprise for you! I've been playing around with some word art, so I thought I would share. Let me know if you like it. ENJOY!

It's been a busy week, but I had this that I had done previously, so here it is. The wordart is part of the quickpage, but I've also included it as a separate wordart file. ENJOY!
It's starting to get chilly out. Pretty soon we will need to turn on the heat. Tonight we are having a huge thunderstorm, so I am going to post this and then turn off the electronics. ENJOY!
