WOWZIE look at that glitter ... Hee! Hee! I sure do love Glitter .. I used re inker colors in cool Caribbean, and regal rose to color in the flowers with my blender pen .. another very simple card using the Loves me DS paper and Taken with teal & Chocolate CS with watercolored paper. I added a slit punch at the top to hold card closed and added Rose and Chocolate GG ribbon at the bottom .. This was the second card I gave my mom for her birthday with her gifts when we went out to dinner Thursday night .. she loved it .. when getting in her truck she was freaking out that she may have misplaced it .. OH my made me laugh .. all she kept saying was OH NO wheres my card .. where is my Card .. Not the presents BUT the card .. pretty cute her liking it so much .. remember she is my biggest fan !! Hee! Hee!
NEWS flash from Michigan DMV.. I went to renew my tags yesterday for my car and the lady told me that the Blue with white letter/number plate is expired .. they are fading out that color of plate ( I guess They are un able to read alot of them being that they are sooo old, But mine is perfect shape go figure .. ) so if your like me and have a blue and white plate you will be given a new one this year 07 on your birthday for renewals .. New plate has white with Blue letter/numbers and they also have a brand new one you can purchase.BUT I stuck with the standard no cost one cause FREE is good right ?, BUT I have to have it mailed to me since my plate is personalized .. So for the time being I have a paper plate in my back window .. talk about dorkey looking..
So many of you~ my friends ... emailed ,sent me cards , posted comments on my blog and even called me personally to wish me a Happy Birthday .. WOW what a blessing to have you all think of me on my birthday .. Thank you all soo much for making my birthday even BETTER.. and Thanks to Gwen she plastered my photo on her BLOG and wrote this comment .. Check it out HERE... I will be posting all the goodies I have received lately on tomorrows post stay tuned everyone ..Thank you all again for making this 40 yr old teary eyed
Last night me and hubby were on the ph with our good friend Steve he is such a great guy and I am not just saying this cause he has bailed my computer out of trouble so many times either .. But for some reason all my downloads were going on my C drive and not my D drive .. which my D drive has tons of space like 92 GB and my C dive had only 15GB so I was always having to clean my space up and we couldn't figure out how to open up my D drive to transport all my goodies on there instead.. so after a couple hours transferring everything with Steve talking us through it all.. Its DONE and wow my computer really zips around now .. BUT the most fabulous thing is since I upgraded my computer to windows 7.0 ( you know those lovely window updates we get ) it really messed up my homepage and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to keep my favorites on the left side instead of having to always go to the top and click each one open .. Talk about hating that .. well Steve hooked me up again .. if you having the same problem look for a tiny yellow star on the left side of your screen once you sign on to the Internet , click that and it should drop down your favorites list then in the right top corner of this drop down look for the tiny green pin click that and TA~ DA your Favorites are up and running on the left side permanently.. so easy huh? so easy that I couldn't figure it out .. call me silly I know but I was soo excited to have that back up and on there..
Thank you all for peeking in today Have a Fabulous Saturday .. PS we got Daughter her homecoming dress and she has had it approved by her school we had to add 2" straps but it looks really nice .. will share more next week about her homecoming . all we need now is shoes so that hopefully will be easier than the dress . have all this upcoming week to find those .. wish us LUCK finding silverish shoes in a size 12 to go with her silver and lavender /steel colored dress
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes .. Love ya all bunches !!
Edited to add Today Hubby is taking me someplace for my Birthday and its sooo top secert that he says I may have to be blindfolded to even drive there HUMMM its killing me not to know.. I am not one who handles suprises very well .. will let you all know what happens tomorrow..
Until later ...Happy Stampin!!
