Busy week

Well I know I haven't posted for several days, and it looks like it could be several days before I do again. These layouts are pictures my Dad took, of the ice at his place. I love the frilly lacy effect the ice has on his trees, its really beautiful!!

Kit Credit: Snow Flakes and Digi Frame Pack by Blushbutter I love how Blushbutter put a drop shadow on her paper snowflakes. It makes them look like they are standing up from the page, like paper snowflakes will do, unless you glue them down, and it makes it so I don't have to try to get that effect, She is better at it than I am!! LOL I suppose there could be times when you wouldn't want the drop shadow, if you were wanting to alter it or something, but so far, I've been loving it!!

We went and got my new printer on Friday, needed a few other things too, so just decided to do it. I have to say, that so far I LOVE IT!! I've been able to scan, without fighting to get a picture, and I've used the copier, which is really neat, to be able to in color AND black and white, and of course printed a layout, and it looks as good or better than my old one!! I had to move things around a little in my office, because its a bit bigger, and wouldn't fit on the shelf above my computer, but I kinda like where it is better, so that's OK. I still have more room on my shelf now, so it doesn't look so full, plus I can put some more books up there if I want.

We also had to get new cell phone's, because DH's was dieing, and we were out of warranty on it, so it was cheaper to just renew and get new ones. Not that I wanted to spend the money, but I like to have both of ours the same, cause that way we know how to use them, as DH doesn't read the book and figure it out, he just hands it to me, to do...and I don't want to have to learn two different ones at the same time, so we both get the same kind. This is the first cell we have had, that has a camera on it....we don't need phone's with a camera, but most phones do anymore, so that's what we ended up with, and since it does have one, I wanted a way to get the pictures off the camera, if we take any, so we got the memory cards for it too. LOL I guess its a good thing we had to get them now, with Christmas, as the cards weren't that expensive. So now, we can take some not so good pictures with our phone, if we don't happen to have our camera handy. Naturally I had to play with it, and get a picture of my DH holding our two doxie's for my "wallpaper" on the phone. Its not real great of a picture, I think I need to learn more about how to do it, but kinda neat to have a pic of my wonderful hubby and our babies to look at, when I pick up my phone. We also can put songs on the phone....like we NEED that, since we are at home most of the time, and can use our computers, or the stereo to listen to music, but I had to figure out how to put some on the phones, so we could have our own ring tone, as the ones that came on the phone kinda sucked. I wanted to use my favorite classical song, but it wasn't loud enough, so for now, it has a country music song for the ring tone...maybe eventually if I wanna play, I'll find a different one. I don't know why they can't just make phones, without all the added gadgets on it, but I guess if I were traveling, and got bored, it would be fun to play with.....maybe....if I wanted to use up the battery power, and not save it for phone calls. *giggle* I guess that last statement kinda ages me, cause I know my niece loves the "gadgets" the more the better, but I guess since I'm not a kid anymore, they don't mean all that much to me. Yeah, Yeah, Kali, I know, your NOT a kid.....*cough, cough, sputter, sputter*....your a young lady, who isn't quite an adult yet. *giggle*

Anyway, I don't know yet for sure about that "job" I mentioned that we may have, but if we do it, we probable will towards the end of the week, so I may not be posting here again this week. I have to start getting our tax info gathered up, and the farm books done, so will be working on that probably instead of layouts, when we are home. Sooo if I don't manage another layout this week, and/or a post, I hope you all have a great week, and weekend!! Thanks so much for your comments!!

Oh and don't forget, there is still time to do the Layout challenge on the Blush ~n~ Dusty Yahoo group, if you want to, just join the group, and the info is in the archives...or ask and I'll tell you about it (or someone will, if I'm gone)!! A new one starts next week!!
