The school where I teach (and am leaving after 13 years) is on an arboretum. We have many acres of trees and it's beautiful, especially out back. I have a panoramic photograph of the back in each season. Here's is the summer one: I want to somehow take the four photographs and put them...

Momma O did an amazing job on the shop facelift! If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, here's a little tour for you on the blog! https://ozone.oscraps.com/?p=7969

I got the chance to make some Subway Art for Christmas this year, and I blogged about some ways to do it. Check it out! https://ozone.oscraps.com/?p=7314

Good morning ladies! I missed the thread yesterday I thought because I worked all day, but now I see you guys were too busy!!! Today is my last day of summer. boo-hoo! So I thought I'd start the thread since Chris isn't here yet. Yesterday I worked at school from about 8:30 - 2:30...

I'm hoping Chris has her head stuck in a book at the lake by now! She needs it. :-) Very quiet here this morning. I'm the only one up. We didn't do much yesterday. Recovered from vacation....you know, doing laundry, getting fresh groceries, etc. Today DH is going to a wedding four hours...

Ok...we got home from the fireworks and stuff late, so I slept late and am surprised Chris isn't here yet. :-) Maybe she's getting ready for a trip to the beach? Fireworks and Home Run Derby were fun. The winner ended up hitting 40-some home runs total. BUT, his former high school teammate...

Morning ladies! I hope I'm not crossing over Chris while I write this. I will have to fill you in on the animal show last night! Just amazing. More on that in a bit. The sun is shining right now and we have a baseball game this morning, but it's supposed to get stormy tonight and tomorrow...

What a load of poo!!! I'm seriously unhappy about this ending even though I called it two or three episodes ago. What did you guys think?

I need to feed my Sherlock/Nancy Drew side. My basic searches for detective and mystery didn't really help in the shop. Anyone got any ideas?

Whaaa??? What happened to February? Well, Ben couldn't sleep in. Figures. It's a dark, cold, snowy Saturday and I don't have to leave the house at all and he wakes up early. LOL Oh well, there's bacon in the oven for breakfast so that makes everything better. A lot to do today to...

Oh sure....I'm up and ready to read and respond and everyone else is sleeping in! LOL

Help. I want to do a "Guess the Fairy Tale" game at the baby shower I'm throwing. I wanted to do either a politically correct title and guess the real fairy tale's name or a "here's the moral" and guess the fairy tale. I found a moral one that's ok...but some of them are hard and obscure. I...

Chris my darling. I know you are awake...I saw you elsewhere online. I hope you are feeling ok and not buried under a mountain of snow. :-( I wrote a whole book last night, so I won't recap. Just hope that everyone has a good day!!

I have a new challenge up on the blog. Check it out and play along!

I want a simple, not grungy, clean border. Preferably a thick line surrounded by a thin line, like the border option in Word that I can get. Like this.... I can't find a brush or an image or anything that will work. I tried to put a solid box and delete the inside of it, but it looked...

I'm caught up on Castle and Glee. No new episodes of HIMYM and BBT. Glee and HIMYM are both ending. Most of White Collar isn't available online. So...I started something I've wanted to for a while.......I watched the first episode of Sherlock Holmes. *sigh* Where am I going to find the...

All right gals. I'm hosting a fairy tale themed baby shower for my niece in two months. This is what I'm going for with invitations: There are pages upon pages of borders/frames in the shop and I'm not using good key words apparently to help me find the kind of borders and corners I'm...

So I sent a thank you email to MyCustomCase.com and told them how awesome my case was. They sent me a great email back and clearly had looked at my artwork. :-) She also said that in my box were five discount referral coupons for 25% off. If three of them get redeemed, I get to design...

I was agonizing over what to get. I wanted a sort of flexible one, so it gives it more cushion and protection than a hard case, but I didn't want a big bulky one like an otterbox - even though those are awesome. I wanted something cute! And maybe librarian-y. So I finally ordered one off of...

I found some pictures of my mom when she worked at Union Pacific and the reenacted Railroad Days. I pulled out a few things from Maya's "Steam Machines" and looked at some from Joanne's travel kit. But can anyone think of any train/railroad vintage-y type stuff? :-)
