Creating from the Heart: ♥ Candy for U! ♥

Creating from the Heart: ♥ Candy for U! ♥
Fabulous giveaway on Melissa's blog!! Sewing machine and stuff !! Oh..I'm crossing my fingers!!!!!!!

OK..I like my computer now!!!

Email working now!! Funny..once it affected computers at the email provider it got fixed quicker!!! (maybe not,but it sure seems that way!!)..when I called last night,the tech support person said it was affecting some of the computer there.....good!! Maybe thats why it's finally up and running properly!!! Funny..I never realized how much I rely on it! In a way,it's sad ..letter writing will become a thing of the past..it is already a lost art. My son and his friends text all the time..why,when the cell phone is there? Will these "kids"(he's almost 29!) miss out on writing a "love letter",something that can be wrapped with a bit of ribbon and treasured always by the one they love forever? After my father had died,and I was going through things,I found the letters they had written to each other when he was overseas in WWII...he had kept his tied with a white ribbon in the bottom of his Navy trunk,along with all the other letters he had gotten from his Mother.My mothers were in a box tied with pink ribbon.!These delicate letters,in 1940's airmail envelopes, were in perfect conditin. Have I read them..no.But,I haven't thrown them out either!

I still hate computers.......

still can't get to my email...."they are working on it and hopefully will be ok in a couple more hours"....ok ,I'm waiting! Why does this happen when I have documents I need to email!!!!, not to mention conversations with friends!!

I hate my computer..........

for some unknown reason..I can't get to my emails!!! can't read or send..off and on for several hours I click on to read them then it goes to a screen that says..internet explorer can't open it...aaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scanned my computer..no problems there!!  aaarrrrgggghhhh !!!!!

My Day....

has been busy!! My 6 yo grandson had to come home from school 15 min after we took him there....INTESTINAL BUG!!! Spewing from both ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, bless his little heart,he's feeling better. He held down ice chips,then held down sips of water,then held down sips of 7-up..tried a bit of jello.held that down too!!! YAY!!! Well, his 2 1/2 yo brother,Eddie, wants to do everything he does..result?..jello all over!! First time doing it himself!! Good thing I've been in "clean up the mess "mode all day. Thought I'd share the picture!! Pay no attention to the note I left myself on the cabinet door..forgot to take it off!!! Yep, some stuff just gets forgotten!! Besides..who wants their epitaph to say"she was a fabulous houskeeper"!!!..no,I'd rather be remembered as a fun grandma! Besides..do you want to come over and eat off my floor? My house wasn't cleaned today..it can wait till Titus feels better!!!!

All kinds of parts,heads..you name it!! Face from TumbleFishSudios.  It didn't scan as clear as I would have liked due to the metal embellishments..oh well!!! Used some distress stickles on the sides and distress inks,also watercolor pencils. Thanks for visiting!!

ok..I had to share this. a very wonderful and talented artist whose blog and web store I go to has received the most insulting email from another "artist".Please click on to the link to read this email on Becky's blog. Becky is the sweetest,most caring and honest person! I can't believe how mean and ugly the person was who wrote this slanderous and libelous email to her was! This pissed me off so much I had to write this post!! thanks for listening to my rant. I for one, will never make another purchase from the writer of this email to Becky until she apologizes to Becky and recants her statement. I will not purchase from any web store that carries this other "artisits" products until it is done! Becky..I want everyone who visits my blog to know you are an artists with talent and morals and the highest integrity!!!!! ann

A new piece...........
