Christmas Gift - December 30, 2021

 I've got a bunch more odds and ends to give you.  I have to admit, I love creating Christmas stuff!  AND, I actually starting scrapping yesterday.  I got one and a half layouts done!  LOL.  It's a beginning, anyway.

Today I have a paper, a frame cluster, and a bunch of little things.  ENJOY!

Christmas Gift - December 29, 2021

 Ok, I have to admit it.  My name is Pat and I am a design-aholic.  When I should be gathering up all the loose designs I created to give you (or scrapping my own photos), I am like ... "Oh look, what a pretty paper.  I should make a quick page" and off I go to spend an hour creating something new.  I also was going through my design program (Fotofusion by Lumapix) and found a bunch that I started but didn't finish because I got interrupted by hubby or a phone call or dinnertime.  So I had to go and finish them as well.  And we need to go grocery shopping!!  Normally I do a Walmart pickup, but we don't have enough for a full order and just need some fruit.  

Today I have some papers, frame clusters and a word art.  ENJOY!

Christmas Gift - December 28, 2021

Has anyone seen a good movie lately?  We watched the new Netflix movie, "Don't Look Up" and it was so stupid, I can't believe we stuck with it until the end.  I am tired of Christmas movies.  I want a good mystery or action movie; something that keeps me in suspense.  Or even a feel-good movie.  The last really good movie we saw was Finch, with Tom Hanks (love him).  Tau wasn't bad.  Oh, and Unforgiveable with Sandra Bullock was good.  Also looking for a good series to binge watch.

Another quick page, frame cluster and a tag.  ENJOY!

Christmas Gift - December 27, 2021

 Well, the year is almost over.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  I was hoping for a white Christmas but all we got was rain!  Our granddaughter brought over Christmas dinner and we have lots of leftovers,  No cooking for a while!  Yay!!  We spent the day watching Christmas movies and playing games..  

Soon the daily gifts will be over for the year.  You will start to get the leftovers these next few days.  I have lots of odds and ends that hopefully you can use.  I like to mix and match and rarely use just one kit for a layout.  I really enjoy creating designs to give away.  Not so much the quality control, selecting, sorting, renaming, packaging,  uploading, posting to the blog, posting to FB etc. that goes along with it all.  It's too time consuming.  Soon, I will have to get back to scrapbooking .. LOL.

Today I have a couple of quick pages, a word art, and a tag.  ENJOY!

Christmas Gift - December 24, 2021

 Today I have for you a quickpage and two wordart.  I really hope it goes without saying that if you find something wrong with any of my creations, please let me know.  I was getting ready to bundle up my gifts for today when I realized I had created the quickpage as 4.25 x 4,25 inches - the size of the CD calendar I made earlier in the month.  Not a good size for a full size page.  So, if you find something like that, or a cluster with stray pixels or anything like that, please let me know.  I will fix it and repost it.  I am not perfect, and I am old (LOL) and I get easily distracted.  It will not hurt my feelings, I promise.

I have a question for you.  Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve?  We never did when I was growing up.  My parents waited until we were all asleep on Christmas to get the gifts from their hiding place (in the attic...LOL) and wrap them.  We were not allowed to open gifts until after we went to church Christmas morning.  Unless, of course, it was something like a bicycle that couldn't be wrapped.  Like when my younger brother woke us all up at 2 am to scream that Santa had brought him a bike!!

Anyway, hope you like your gifts.  Thank you for all your good wishes and kind comments.  ENJOY!

Christmas Gift - December 21, 2021

Well, here it is... the big 75 ... three quarters of a century!!  Today is my birthday.  It's very depressing to be this old, but except for my grandma, no one in my family lived past 72, so I am blessed.  Not doing anything special because of Covid, but hubby is making my favorite Christmas dish - Posole (a spicy pork and hominy mexican dish).  It is a favorite from when we lived in New Mexico and it has become a Christmas tradition.  I don't know why we don't make it other times during the year since we love it.  For Christmas, our daughter is having a family gathering, but no one is vaccinated, so we are staying away.  She will bring us dinner, so we don't have to cook.  Our daughter-in-law and two granddaughters in Missouri have Covid.  Two have been vaccinated, so hopefully it will be a mild case.  

Today I have two stackers and some word art.  ENJOY!

 I am curious.  How many of you still send out Christmas cards?  I mean the paper kind, in an envelope, with a stamp?  Do you just sign the card or do you include a personal message?   How many of you  do a Christmas newsletter?  How many send photos?

Christmas Gift - December 13, 2021

 It's been a busy day.  I worked all day making my Christmas cards.  I don't send out many as our tradition is to send our Christmas cards via email and make a donation to the homeless shelter instead, but there are some with Christmas gifts and family newsletters that need to be mailed.  The outside is the same for all, but the wording is different for each.  I am about done for today.  I was going to make a pork loin for dinner, but I am too tired to cook a big meal, so we are going to have home made turkey soup and a salad.  Tomorrow is laundry day and working on Christmas cards again.  Hopefully, I can get them all finished.  

Today I have some Christmas tags (they are much larger than they appear in the preview).  ENJOY!

Christmas Gift - December 12, 2021

The weather has been crazy.  It was 63 degrees when I got up and is now 37 because of the wind.  The wind is terrible.  Last night we had tornado alerts.  It was a Tornado Watch which is not as serious as a Warning when tornadoes have actually been spotted, but scary nonetheless.  I am sending prayers to all in the midwest who actually had to deal with loss of life or property due to tornadoes.

Today I have some more artsy papers and a word art.  ENJOY!

 We are having a heat wave -- 52 degrees!!  It is gloomy and supposed to have a rain storm this afternoon.  I am sitting here working on our Christmas Card for this year (yeah, I know, I'm a little behind) while drinking hot chocolate with muenster cheese in it.  Does anyone here do that?  It was a treat my grandma always made for me and I love it.  The cheese melts and gets gooey and tastes soooo good.

Tuesday Treat - November 30, 2021

Can you believe the year is almost over?   Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is on the way.  I already received our first Christmas card!  Our daughter is stopping by after work to bring up some decorations from the basement - two trees for either side of the front door, a Christmas centerpiece, and our nativity set.  We are not putting up a tree this year.

This will be the last Tuesday Treat of the year BUT starting December 1st, as I do every year, I will be giving you, my faithful followers, a Christmas gift.  If I miss a day (I don't plan on it, but I never know), it is because I am not feeling well.  I am undergoing treatment for my autoimmune disease and I have good days and bad days.

I want to thank those who always leave a comment.  It brightens my day to know you enjoy my hard work.  God bless you all,


Friday, November 26, 2021

Friday Freebie - November 26, 2021

 I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We spent a quiet day at home, but our daughter and son-in-law cooked our turkey for us and brought over a sweet potato casserole (chunks, not mashed) with marshmallows and pecans (YUM) as well as collard greens with ham -- our SIL is from the South.  They dropped it off on their way to our granddaughters for TG festivities.  The turkey was 20+ pounds and we have enough leftovers for 20 meals or so  LOL

Question:  Do you like to listen to music?  What kind?  While I am working/playing on the computer, I like instrumental music -- Jackie Gleason, David Lanz, Dan Gibson, Paul Mauriot, Ernesto Cortazar and the like.  So soothing, and not distracting.  Also, have you seen the new Tom Hanks movie, Finch?  It is wonderful.  We loved it!

Today I thought I would share a wordart I created for my own use.  I hope you like it and can use it.  ENJOY!

Tuesday Treat - November 23rd

 I don't know where my mind is lately.  I had this all ready to go but almost forgot to post it.  Anyway, I have a few more papers, some more brads and a couple of wordarts.  I hope you like them and can use them.  ENJOY!

Oh, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving for those of you who celebrate.  I am thankful for so many things,  God is good.  God bless you all.

Tuesday Treat - November 16th

 It snowed Sunday!  Snowed!!  It's not even Thanksgiving yet.  The first snow is always so beautiful, though.  It started as flurries then came down really hard.  It covered everything in white, but by afternoon, the temps warmed up a little and everything melted.  Today is cold (in the low 30's) but otherwise sunny and nice.  Go figure.

Do you read?  What kind of books do you read -  mysteries, adventure, contemporary, romance, historical fiction, autobiographies?  Do you have a Kindle or Nook?  Or do you read the old fashioned books? I really enjoy mysteries.  I love James Patterson, John Grishom,  Catherine Coulter, Craig Johnson, David Baldacci, Lee Child, John Sanford and the list goes on.  I also love Stephen King and Dean Koontz.  I love, love, love to read.  I always have a book going.  The two books by former President Clinton/James Patterson were excellent.  The recent one by Hillary Clinton not so much.  I recently discovered John Gilstrap (Jonathan Grave series) and Karin Slaughter (Will Trent series).  I've also read Barbara Bradford Taylor (Woman of Substance series), Ken Follett, Leon Uris, Nicholas Sparks, Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games), J.K. Rowlings (Harry Potter) and way too many others to mention.  What do you read?

Today I have some more papers and brads and a wordart for autumn and Thanksgiving layouts.  I really like the way the papers came out.  I hope you do too.  Thank you to all who take the time to comment.  It is most appreciated.  ENJOY!

Tuesday Treat - October 26th

 It is early afternoon on Monday.  I usually post the Tuesday Treat on Monday evening to accommodate those in different parts of the world.  But, I get the post and the upload ready early and post it all after dinner while hubby is watching the news before we sit down to watch a movie.  Two times now, I have forgotten to "publish" the blog post after I've posted to the FB freebie groups.  Ah well, old age is my excuse.

I've had fun working on Halloween related items for you.  Today I have a quickpage and a bunch of word art.  Please note that the word "Happy" and the words "Halloween" on the left side of the preview are separate pieces of wordart so you can mix and match.  The file was large so I split it into two parts.  Make sure to get them both.  I hope you like these and can use them.  ENJOY!

Tuesday Treat - October 19th

 Happy Fall everyone!  It is starting to get cold here in Ohio.  How about where you are?  We are self-quarantining for a couple of weeks as our daughter and son-in-law tested positive for Covid-19 a few days after visiting.  We've been vaccinated (they have not) so hopefully that will be enough to keep us safe.  So far, their symptoms have been minimal.

Today I have some Halloween themed quickpages and wordart.  Hopefully you can use them.  ENJOY!

Tuesday Treat - October 12th

 I have lots of goodies for you today.  I started this for Digiscrapping Day but didn't finish it in time, and decided to split it in two.  The other part is Halloween themed and you'll get it some other time.  There are 8 papers, a word art, a cluster and a quickpage.  It was quite large so I split it into three downloads.  Be sure to get all three.  ENJOY!

Ok folks, I'm dying here.  Facebook is down (as is Instagram and Twitter, but I don't care about those).  I love playing my FB games.  I love catching up on the grandkids,  I love the funny little memes.  It is apparently their problem and they are aware, so hopefully it will be back up soon.  So, if you don't normally check my blog, you won't know about these treats until FB is back online.  In any case, whenever you get them, ENJOY!

p.s.  the downloads are large, so I split them into two parts.  Be sure to get both to get all the goodies.
