OH MY GOODNESS...........

FOUND A WAY TO GET THE SCANS HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still don't know how to get the photo's on my scanned documents page to add as attachments for emails..hopefully someone can tell me how to make them work as adobe readable !!! But, this is a start!!!
The first one is for a PID group swap...black and orange theme using a PID image! The other 2 are just because !!!!(I love the bloody eyes...yep..love dark and creepy and that sort of stuff!!!).

Can anyone help me figure out why..........

when I scan images to my computer they come up on paint and not a file that will open as the picture(so I can add the image to my blog) and why they don't come up in a form to open as a PDF file ?
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!
I can't put anything here !!!!!!!

OMG.............................

Llast Tuesday the hard drive on my laptop DIED!!! It took until last night to get my computer running and internet going. It was the week from HELL. My computer is a Dell..they were of ..little to no help, once I bought the hard drive and got the re-instillation cd's for my windows and drivers and utilities I wasn't sure which disk to put in first. When I called Dell they wanted me to pay $59.00 for the "technical support" to tell me which went in first..all because my computer warrenty is out(it's 6 years old)..can you believe that!!!! Caleed to find out where the COM port on my laptop was..same answer..$59.00 for the "technical support"!! Ok..by now I have been crying my eyes out for 3 days..everything gone..all my files,pictures,documents....EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER DOWNLOADED OR SCANNED FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS....GONE(including evey collage sheet,image,altered art item I have bought over 6 yrs..gone!!!). I had no idea I could back up on another device....NOW I KNOW!!!! Well, I called Microsoft...their tech support was marvelous..they took 3 days to figure it out...he even conference called ATT to explain my problem with the internet and what I needed(this was last night!!)...UP AND RUNNING!!!!!!!!!! Then, this morning..no internet. Back to ATT where the most wonderful tech.support got me back up and told me step by step what to do as I wrote it down. Seems that Dell computers ,along with a couple other brands, have 2 wireless support systems..their own plus windows,,did you know if you have this problem,you have to close the Dell(or other cumper brand) wireless and use the windows one? Know I do !!!
I ahve contacted some of thewebstores where I remember getting downloads and I have received responses from most of them already..they have gone above and beyond to help me:
wINK WINK WINK INK ,EweNMePrintables, Altered Pages,ArtChix,Piddix,TwoDancing Crows..IF YOU HAVE THE NEED FOR GOODIES PLEASE VISIT THEM AND TELL THEM I SENT YOU.
Also, Tangee Baxter at Scrapbookgraphics.com sent me a $20.00 gift certificate to use to help replace wht I lost from her. Since she know longer has her origional store she didn't have the files so,since she is now exclusively with Scrapbookgraphics she was so kind to do this...PLEASE VISIT HER ALSO AND TELL HER I SENT YOU !
Now, I have to find where I stored my down load disks for photoshop,my printer,camera,etc. AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it could have been worse.....it could have been me or someone I loved who died.Guess I need to dry my tears over my losses and get on..end my pity party!!!
So, if you don't see any posts with pic's of creations...you know why!
Everybody have a happy day !!!!!

Not Halloween.........

made this one just because!

More paperdolls

I've been enjoying creating! My 3 grandkids have had colds..so between wiping snot,passing out juice and fever reducers I have had time,as you can see from my ATC's and paperdolls, to do some fun things. One of these days I hope to make some more cloth dolls..I love making them and I have tons of patterns !!
I've named the first MAUDE and the second CANDY KORN ! Silly,I know, but I'm in one of those moods( and enjoying it !!).

Another halloween ATC

CLOWN HEAD FROM A COLLAGE SHEET FROM ALTERED PAGES.

20 days later....

this is the first time I've had a chance to get on-line. Issues here have gone from bad to worse. My grandkids have required my husband and my UNDIVIDED attention. On top of that, I fell over our Chow and broke my knee..had to wait 14 hrs to get medical care because we had no one to watch the grandkids...nope,nothing for pain all that time!!!
I miss visiting all of you. Hopefully, my husband and I will be able to help our grandkids cope with things here and we can get back to our "normal" activities. He misses his art and I miss creating..but,right now, our grandkids need us.
I ask for your prayers..especially for my daughter!

I haven't been.................

posting for awhile. Issues at home concerning my daughter have prevented me from having the time. I hope to be back creating and posting soon. I do miss creating and sharing and visiting with all of you. I just didn't want anyone to think I didn't care..you are all very imortant to me and I miss your blogs!!

Fun In The Sun ATC

I made this ATC for the PID Yahoo group June lottery !! The kewpie is from PaperImageryDesigns.I used Ranger Distress Stickles to add deminsion to the "sand" and for the hat band.The background papers are 3 different landscape images.I used fiber to "SEW" along the top and bottom of "fun in the sun" to make it stand out a bit more.I can't remember where the butterfly came from..it was cut apart from a collage sheet and I don't remember whose it was..wish I knew because it's so pretty and I want more!
