Monday Freebie-Denim & Diamonds

Monday Freebie is here and it is called Denim and Diamonds. I have left the design areas empty so you can add your favorite pictures or text. Now if I could afford some real Diamonds....
Enjoy and see you Wednesday!

Friday Freebie - Silver Wolf

Friday is upon us again - FINALLY! I, for one, am thankful for the weekend!

Today I have what I HOPE will work for a 3 column layout, as the center area is wider than for a 2 column. The Silver Wolf is something I created from black and white clipart. (It is offered today as a .psd file at my other site) This will also work as a desktop wallpaper if you wanted to use it in such a manner.
Hope each of you has a Safe and happy weekend. See you Monday.

Wednesday Freebie - Sorceress

Greetings folks.

First, let me apologize for not posting on Monday. Things are NOT going well at home caring for Mom and we are looking into a nursing facility for her. Once she goes into a nursing facility, I will be looking for work ( a job) to support myself and our animals.

Today's Freebie is a beautiful Sorceress in the sunlight placed on a vintage themed background. See how the light seems to shine from her and onto the roses at the right?

This is the best I can do for light since my Photoshop DIED! Now I will be forced to use my Paint Shop Pro 8 for creating my prettys.

I hope someone likes this layout. You are welcome to use it as a desktop background if you desire. Don't forget to leave a comment if you download- they are very inspiring!

Enjoy and see you Friday!

Friday Freebie - Calling

WOO-HOO! It's FRIDAY! That means the weekend is Calling us! Well - most of us anyways. Times are harder now than ever and many Americans are working weekends and second and third jobs just to make ends meet and survive. I should know - I am one of them who works a LOT.

I am posting this blog background (which can be used as a desktop wallpaper as well) for all of us who feel the outdoors calling us. We need time to ourselves once in a while to enjoy and rest up for the coming week.

Please be safe and have a wonderful weekend and see ya Monday!

Wednesday Freebie - Delicate Floral

Wednesday greetings folks! I love Wednesday because it means there is a chance to REST on the weekend! I made this blog background today after being outside and watering the flowers and seeing the beautiful blue sky. We have a Gorgeous day outside today. I hope you enjoy this as a blog background or as a desktop wallpaper! HUGS and see ya Friday!

Monday Freebie - Memories

Hello everyone. Hope your Monday went well. Mine was full of activity and I got a lot accomplished outside. I had a chance to work on this background yesterday and finally got it completed. I called it "Memories" because of the Victorian era that the elements came from. Things were so much different then. My how times change, but I often wonder are we better off than our ancestors? Yikes, that is a debatable thought! I hope someone out there will enjoy this as a blog background or a simple desktop wallpaper. See ya Wednesday!

Friday Freebie Wallpaper-Love My Cat

Today is a simple Desktop Wallpaper called Love My Cat. Look at the expression on that cat's FACE! I have been outside on a dark night hunting for a black cat before! Not FUN playing hide-n-seek with a critter that don't realize that thunderstorm is coming and will get us both very wet. But I would do it again if the situation arose! Hope each one of you has a safe and wonderful weekend. I will try and come up with some new goodies for next week! HUGS...

Wednesday Freebie - Butterfly Magnolias

Wednesday - middle of the week - YESS! I woke up early this morning (too early) and as I walked outside on my porch, I could smell the glorious aroma of Magnolias from my neighbor's trees. What a Heavenly fragrance so early in the morning! That was my inspiration for today's blog background which would also work as a desktop wallpaper! Enjoy and see you Friday!

Monday Freebie - Fiesta!

Monday AGAIN? I made this cute Fiesta blog background this morning and it sure reminds me of summer weekends here. We look forward to weekends for backyard BBQ and having friends visit. Everyone brings different foods and a fun time is had by all - and the kids run and play! This would be cute for a party blog or even a blog dealing with Southwest Cuisine! Enjoy and see ya Wednesday!

Friday Freebie - Royal Roses

Friday at last! Ok folks even tho it is the weekend - I am urging all of us to stop and smell the Roses along the way. I made this blog background with the thoughts of Mother's Day and seeing my neighbor's roses in bloom. So BEAUTIFUL! It was a long and Cold Winter for many of us, so let's appreciate the beauty of Spring.

Hope everyone has a fun weekend - see ya Monday!

Wednesday Freebie - Dragon Guards

Happy Wednesday folks! I finally finished my Dragon Guards layout which can be used as a blog background or as your desktop wallpaper. I love the colors and the mystery associated with dragons. These fellas look like they are guarding your site! How cool to have personal site bodyguards? LOL

Enjoy and see ya Friday !

Monday Freebie-Rob Pohl Floral

Mother's Day is coming soon and that got me to thinking about my Mom. As many of you know, I stay at home and care for my Mom who is elderly and blind and is also on medication for dementia. Most of the time things go really great. Mom always loved flowers, so when I can find a nice fresh flower I pick it for her to smell and I describe the colors to her. So, I think for Mother's Day, I will buy her a big bouquet of flowers for her room!

When I came across a floral called" Temptations B" by artist Rob Pohl, I knew this would make a great blog layout or desktop wallpaper for Mother's Day. I enjoy his art very much. I hope you enjoy it too and it brightens your Monday. Hugs

Rainy Update-New Buttons for Followers

Hello all. I can forget taking Mom out for the weekend. The rain started about 1 AM and finally let off a bit around 5 PM. According to the television, my area got between SIX and TEN inches of rain! The state of Texas desperately needed the rain but I am thinking we got all of the back ordered rain as well! Thankfully, I am on a hill and don't worry about flooding. The lightning was booming all day long in the sickly green sky and there was even a couple twisters hopping around in a nearby town. The bad news is there is more scheduled for tomorrow. YUKK.

While the computer was turned OFF and unplugged, I decided to use my laptop and do the coding by hand to add new buttons for my Links and for my FOLLOWERS.

Each of my Followers who has a Blog, is listed at the bottom on a new button! I needed some way to let you know you are APPRECIATED! A personal HUG to each of you!

Friday Freebie - Scenic River

Hello everyone! Hope you have some fun planned for the weekend. I will be staying home working on graphics and pulling weeds from the flowerbeds. I have been busy with graphics and trying to come up with new ideas for layouts as well as some "upgrades" for this site. Today's blogger background is from a favorite picture. I love the woods and creeks and streams and the crisp spring air and all the freshness of a new morning! So, for those of you who can't get out of town for the weekend - let this layout work as your desktop wallpaper or as your blog backing.

Have a fun and safe weekend and see ya back on Monday!

Wednesday Freebie-Chicken-N-Sunflower

Happy Wednesday folks! I often buy wallpaper and borders to scan from garage sales or wherever I am fortunate enough to find them. I came up with this from two scans and it will work well for those whose blog layouts are 3 column or use the full page. I don't want to neglect other type of layouts if I can come up with a nice one for them also. This also looks nice as a desktop wallpaper on your monitor! Love these Roosters cause they DON'T crow at 3am!

Friday Freebie - After the Party

Happy Friday to all! Yesterday was my birthday, and it was a very quiet event. I spent the day relaxing and doing NOTHING but resting. Mom and I had our favorite Mexican food that I ordered and brought home. No party, cake or candles, just us. Later I met my favorite Canadian Sweetie online and we stayed up way too late talking and laughing! It was a GOOD day. It is my hope someone likes this as a layout or as a desktop wallpaper. It would be cute for a scrapbook party type blog.

Have a GREAT and safe weekend and see ya Monday!

Wednesday Freebie - Abstract

Hi all! I am posting a simple abstract that works well as a desktop wallpaper or as a blog background. I liked this abstract because it makes you realize the mysteries of space, or could that be a spider web from an arachnid on LSD? Shucks, it might even be a birds nest from far into the future, but it is an image I enjoy looking at and letting my mind wander. And today - I am too tired to wander far! See ya'll Friday!

Monday Freebie - Hoppy Easter

Woo Hoo!! Easter is almost here! Another Designer Layout! I began this layout months ago by starting with my Frog and eggs graphic but never finished it until today. I was looking at Chingjp's Springtime Kit (which is my favorite) and BANG! - it hit me - her papers and backgrounds and floral accents would be perfect to finish up this background! I suggest you pop over to Ching's and check out her goodies - AFTER you leave a comment here ...LOL!
