Happy New Year! (a little late, I know!)

Here it is, the last day of January and it's my first post for the new year. I've had some crazy computer problems but all appears well right now. I thought I had fried my Acer netbook on New Year's Eve and thought I knew the steps to fix it. Apparently I left out one file & I figured out how to fix it tonight on the 31st of January! It's been really sad without my netbook so I'm looking forward to having it back.
My external hard drive with all of my digital kits & cutting files tried to quit but it's working fine now.
I burn everything to cd & dvd so it would have been possible to copy all those files to a new ehd. I'm glad I didn't have to though.
I also bought a duplicate file finder that found tons of duplicates of all my many files.
I feel like I spent the majority of January doing computer work in the evenings and night.
It just feels good to end January with my equipment working and files better organized!

The Holy Family-Kim Bright file

This is my second Kim Bright file & I loved the way it turned out! It took an hour to cut it out and about 4 hours to weed. I just took my time and tried my best.

recycled Lipton tea jars

There is a saying in the south that if the Good Lord made anything better than iced tea, he kept it for himself. We drink a lot of tea around here. My husband and son love sweet tea & I drink it unsweetened. My husband and son also love MickeyD sweet tea for a buck! This summer I had a collection of empty tea jars so I wanted to see what I could do with them. I was inspired by a Plaid video showcasing Mod Podge and glass jars. I adapted the project so I could call on some of my digital graphic stash to make these candle holders. For my digital graphics I printed a paper of antique maps from Miss Crow's Magickal Emporium™ , Jaguarwoman's "Wetlands" Backgrounds and my all time favorite designer Miki Ferkul .I have a lot of Miki's kits and I cannot remember which one that this print came from. I printed these and applied them to the jars with Mod Podge. I opted for battery operated candles for safety reasons. Hopefully tomorrow I can take photos of

Christmas shadowbox

This is a photo was taken in 2004 & it was the last Christmas that my sister and I spent together. In spring 2005 she was diagnosed with Multiple myeloma. She passed away December 2005. I miss you Lydia! I've had this photo in my kitchen window since 2004 and I decided to make a shadow box with it. I scanned the photo onto a digital page and printed it. Then I added the star and jingle bells.

Gardenia Greetings
