Beautiful flower

I have been blog hopping this morning and found the instructions for making a flower. The blog is Bad Girls. I am not sure how to add a link any other way so.... http://wendyrago.typepad.com
here you go! She originally made them of silk napkins. I am going to try ribbon and of course, paper. Go take a look!

Christmas gifts

I have been working on several projects for Christmas gifts. I am going to photograph them and then after Christmas will post them. I hope they will be liked.

I have been trying to learn how to make digital scrapbook kits for about a year now and have decided that I am totally unable to "get it". I do not know if it is because I have hated computers ever since my husband went back to college to get a computer science degree while our children were in lower elementary or just because I am totally illogical and cannot follow the logic of the computer but I am a dismal failure at it. I so wish I could create them and use free kits with ease in order to enhance the photographs I want to scrap. I would never give up making the scrapbook pages or mini albums but would love to be able to add things to the photos....

Oh well, I guess it is not to be but I feel like I have wasted a year of my life pursuing the impossible dream.

Well, I am dreaming of a white Christmas but it will be probably be white only at the beach.... our family lives on the coast and snow is not much of a possibility.

Speaking of weather. I have heard from some people that still live in my hometown this week. The lows at night have been around 20 degrees, the highs during the day have been around 70 degrees and they had a major sandstorm. All since Monday....... there is a saying,"if you do not like the weather in West Texas, wait about five minutes and it will change! There is no place like home!
