Tiresome? Don't Have Time? WTH?

Saying thank you seems to many like an easy thing to do. Yet sometimes, as in the case of the huge amount of digital freebies offered, saying it repeatedly can be quite tiresome. However, it doesn't mean we aren't appreciative of what is offered. Being encouraged to say thank you should not be commanded nor drawn by guilt; it should come freely. Only then will it be appreciated for its full value. I am always thankful for the beautiful gifts offered, but do not always have the time to "say" than...

Let me tell you about tiresome. Work for ten hours on the computer at work, then go home and spend a few hours more on the computer to create digital scrapbooking stuff. I go to the extra expense and take the extra TIME involved to offer my creations as gifts. To be honest, I do not have the TIME to do this, and I don't HAVE to do this, but I FIND the time and DO share. I do not think that I am being unreasonable in expecting just a 2 second "TY" as an acknowledgement for my TIME & MONEY that I spend so you don't have to.
How do I know you are thankful and appreciative if you can't take the TIME to SAY something.
And another thing, don't tell me how to post on my blog. This is MY blog. You post your way on your own blog.
I am seriously considering taking my blog to subscription only to stop this kind of crap.
Do NOT jack with The Bubbles. If you don't like it around here, don't let the door hit you in your ass on the way out. Go take your precious TIME and make your own stuff.

October Stuff

Well, the months not over and I have the Stuff done already! LOL!!! As I said earlier, I decided to go in a doodly direction this time. I made the swirlys in felt for 'ya, but I also included just the doodles in the download. Password is: doodle Oh, and I finally found the commercial version of the CHICKEN WIRE!!! Yee-haw! Of course I had to use it to go with the cute little chickie! I did it up with chipped paint, and even wove a string through one version for ya'll. As usual, I left most of the stuff on the large side, that way you can scale it however you desire without loss of quality. I just couldn't bring myself to use much of the purple, I'm not a purpley person.

And Another Award!

Gosh, I feel so special, two awards in one day! This one was presented to me by my dear cyber-friend Susie2shoes @ http://susie2shoes.blogspot.com/. I have to tell ya'll 6 things I love and then pass it on.

I love:
1. My family 2. Scuba diving 3. Scrapbooking
4. The beach 5. The Eagles (Glenn in particular) 6. Travel

Lori ( not a scrapping blog, but boy is she interesting and creative in her posts. ROTFL!!!)

Deb (an amazing creative designer)

Nani (another great designer with interesting stories posted, a great read)

Eilajean (breath-taking photography and just getting her feet wet in the blogging world)

I know this is only four, but some of the ones I would nominate have already received it.
I should be posting my page for Hearts & Flowers tomorrow, I am such a doofus, I left the flash drive with it at home today. If I ever get DSL in the extremely rural area that I live in, that would solve these types of problems. I mean, why spend an hour or more trying to upload on sucky dial-up when you can save to the flash and mooch the DSL @ work? ROTFLPIMP!!! Except when you neglect to disconnect the flash from the laptop and bring it with you!

A Special Award

I have received a very special award from eilajean @ http://eilajean.blogspot.com/. She created this award herself, and I am so honored to be a recipient. Thank you so much! I love my Yellow Rose of Texas!

October Papers

Today for your scrapping pleasure I have the papers for the October Color Challenge. Kim came up with a great swatch this month, not at all what you think of being "October" colors. I decided to go in a watercolor direction with the papers, the stuff is going to be doodly. Password is: soft Oh, and someone said they saw my things on SuzyQ's. Huh? I have Google alerts and this is the first I have heard about this, anyone have more info? I don't know who SuzyQ is or why she would be sharing my stuff. Once again the fabulous Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ is saving you from my usual sucky previews with her wonderful jar collection!

Halloweenies Stuff!

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! That's right, fellow scrappers, a rare weekend post just for ya'll!
Today I have for your scrapping pleasure the Halloweenies Stuff. Some of the items are done in both the felt & epoxy styles. The green frames are made with the Doodle Frames brush by Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ They turned out to be a perfect match for the monster word art! I was really pleased when I discovered this, it was just too cool! Password is: tooth Once again I got carried away and made more stuff after I had packed up this file and made the sucky preview, so look for an add-on later.

Boy howdy, am I glad this work week is over! After spending approximately twenty (yes, TWENTY) hours on the phone this week with semi-English speaking tech (and I use that term loosely) people in India, I finally have the worst of my Intuit no quality check before release problems solved. AND...I did it without them! Evidently, after working with Quickbooks for eleven years I know more about their product than their so called tech support. I had to tell product & development how to solve the problem! And did they offer any discount on the $5000.00 price tag for this pitiful excuse of an upgrade? NO, NO, NO!!! How's that for customer appreciation? And the worst part is...they charge you an additional $159.00 for this lousy New Delhi support. But they've got you by the ying-yang and they know it, if you work in accounting you have to do it. Okay, anti-Intuit rant over, I am off to the deer lease to see Mom, Dad, Steve, Bev, Bugs and Sammy (Steve & Bev's other 4-legged child).
