Days of Our Lives

Three guesses where my inspiration came from for this post :)

I grew up with a mother who was very hearing impaired. We never learned or used sign language, she could understand you if you looked straight at her and spoke loudly and clearly. But we did have a few deaf-person concessions we had to make, such as constant closed captioning at the bottom of the TV screen so she could follow shows. One of my best memories of that is Days of Our Lives. She was usually too busy during the day to catch it (the only soap she watched), but at night she would fire up the VCR and watch that day's episode. I would stay up with her often and was embarrassingly caught up in Sami, Lucas, Austin, and Carrie. And I was a dedicated viewer during Marlena's demon possession LOL.

Yesterday I sat down at the TV with some lunch and guess what happened to be on? I haven't caught an episode of Days in years, literally. I was shocked to find myself recognizing people (Stefano! Lucas!) and falling right back into the plot. Definitely not an addiction I need to pick back up! :)

So here is today's offering:

Any Days fans out there?

Summer's Coming to Shine

Ah well I am definitely adjusting to my sore finger. It still hurts, but I'm getting much more familiar with what I can and can't get away with doing. We took the bandage off last night and let me tell you, it is ugly. Black stitches, red skin, ewwww. I hope it heals quickly.

Today is the last of my summer song freebies:

Scrappers Workshop

Hey all. Hope everyone is having a nice evening :)

In finger news: the typing is getting easier. The mouse is still a challenge, but I'm adjusting. I'll get the stitches out in 7-12 days. My friend Steph, the newly graduated nurse, will remove them for me. Till then I'm having to do one-handed chores, one-handed driving, one-handed typing...sigh. But my father-in-law, a popular local radio personality, was born with only one arm, so I try and keep it in perspective :)

And in super awesome scrapping news: I am sponsoring a crop over at my friend Jenn (of ScrapKitty Design)'s Scrappers Workshop. I made up a Summer Tunes wordart kit that is being given away as a gift for joining their crop chat. It's being held in a little less than an hour (10pm Eastern, 9 Central, 8 Mountain, 7 Pacific), so if you want to participate hurry on over (purple name above is linked) and learn a little about making and using wordart and have fun! I would love to be attending, but I am just wiped out from typing all this already and still more than a little woozy from the painkillers :(

And! If you're new to my blog, welcome. I invite you to subscribe or keep coming back, I have freebie wordart posts most days and am looking forward to expanding and opening a store in the next month or so!

Back tomorrow with another summer song inspired wordart freebie.
Night y'all :)

Another Six-Pack Summer

So I sliced my finger open yesterday. Typing hurts.

I was cleaning the kitchen. We have these dark blue glass bowls from Wal-Mart and one of them had some chili in it. Instead of using the garbage disposal, I went over to the trash can and started tapping the bowl against the wall, to dislodge all the chili. The bowl shattered! ouch. Joe had to rush home from work and take me to the emergency room where I got 4 stitches. ouch again. It's right along the inside crease of my knuckle, so healing will be difficult and painful. Now my right ring finger is a fat wad of white gauze and I am having trouble operating the computer mouse with my left hand. What a bummer :(

Am in the process of setting up a small online store to sell my designs. My blog will be getting an upgrade as well. Joe has kinda latched on to the project and I am sure I am in good hands. Those changes will be coming up in the next few weeks, but plans are underway already. I will post more when there is more to tell :)

Here's a freebie, I will definitely post longer tomorrow about some upcoming changes and other news. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Ah well I'm headed off to the lake to fish today! I will return this evening with a blog update and a freebie, so stick with me :)

Funk

Ah you thought you'd lost me, huh? No such luck :)

I have been doing basically nothing. Maybe it was a funk? My laundry is done, so not a total waste. But I have returned and will be back to posting freebies and updating my blog this weekend. Off to bed for now.

Remember Dreams Do Come True

Hey all!

Wow was my weekend packed! I wasn't even expecting it to be so hectic, but it really floored me. Lots of family-centered activities: lunches, barbeques, visits from out of town, etc. Now it's Monday again and I'm back to quiet days. Now I need to get the house cleaned up, grr.

Today's freebie (my 100th wordart creation, wahoo!):

LINK EXPIRED

In scrap news: I am in the process of getting ready to start packaging up and selling my wordarts. Both my old existing freebies and new designs. Hopefully by this time next week I will be all set up to go. More info on that as the week goes on. I'll definitely keep up the freebies, so keep checking back!
