For Today...

For Today, The Simple Woman's Daybook
Head on over to The Simple Woman's Daybook and find out how to participate!
Outside my window...
dark! I'm up too late again!
I am thinking...about all the artful ideas I jotted down while at the book store tonight. Inspired!
I am thankful for...student financial aid. Rob only had to cover $350ish out of pocket for his first term of school!
From the learning rooms...well, Rob had orientation today! He's returning to school and I am SO proud of him!
From the kitchen...I'm planning to try the recipe I saw Martha Stewart make today, then found in her magazine...Dessert Perogi!
I am wearing...jeans and a gray tee...standard me.
I am creating...well, the computer issue is keeping me from my dig-scrap passion, so I believe I'll try collage this week. I also have a secret fabric craft I am longing to try!
I am going...to go crazy if this computer issue doesn't get better soon!
I am reading..."I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman" by Nora Ephron. Run to the nearest book store and get it...hilarious!
I am hoping...I can use collage to shake this bout of the blues I've been dealing with lately.
I am hearing...Jay Leno's Headlines. I miss Conan, but I like having Jay back too...is that so wrong?!
Around the house...
a million things I need to do, of course.
One of my favorite things...a good used book sale! We stopped by the North East Library Saturday and got 23 (that's right, you heard me!) books for $5! I must explain, I could have gotten them ALL for $1...it was a bag sale ($1=all-you-can-fit-in-a-bag) but since the funds benefit the local library, I gave them all the cash I had...$5! This sale is where I got my current read!
A few plans for the rest of the week: odds and ends shopping while Rob attends his orientation, then getting used to EARLY mornings sending him out to his studies. Did I mention how proud I am of my husband? :-)
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

LIBROS! Pictures, Images and Photos

April Desktop Freebie...Finally!!!

Well, even though it is not 100%, I got enough to work on this computer to make a desktop! I tell you what, if I even get an extra bit of money, the first thing I want to do is my a decent computer!!! Anyone want to donate? Ha! Just kidding...

I hope you enjoy the desktop...I enjoyed making it, especially after a lengthy absence from scrapping! Since I make these desktops for my personal computer screen, the resolution is 1280x1024. Please leave a comment with what your resolution is on your desktop and I'll see what the most popular sizes are and try to keep that in mind in the future!

This desktop was made with Raspberry Road Designs Country Sunshine Add-on Kit, and a calendar from Sueli Colbert Designs. The rabbit, I downloaded and altered, but there wasn't any designer info with it, so I have no idea who it's from! If I figure it out, I'll post a comment later! I hope you enjoy this little taste of spring for your desktop!

Thanks again for visiting! Hopefully I'll get these computer bugs ironed out and scrap more soon!!!

Hopefully...

Well, I haven't been able to create much in the past week or two because my computer finally died. Thank goodness we have Dad's here...but I have to install my PSE7 and move my external drive, so...no work has been done because I can't find the PSE7 disk. It's safely packed up in one of these boxes!
Hopefully, I will find it soon and get to making the April desktop and some more freebies! I just wanted to let everyone know!  Well, off to dig in some boxes!
