Am I breaking all the sites I visit????

19. December 2007 by admin.

I don’t understand what is going on in digi land lately. It seems that several of my usual hangouts are having issues. Am I breaking these sites? It sure seems that way. Like I mentioned earlier, OAKS is being rebuilt. It will be stronger, faster than before. We have the technology. bwahahah. Seriously, I’m missing my usual posting spot and the usual suspects there. Now today I’m having issues with SBB. They’ve been having holiday chats all week and I’m trying to get to each one I can. I missed last nights because I wanted to watch the season finalle of The Biggest Loser. So I figured that I’d have a chance to chat today while working. But NOOOOO for some reason every time I tried to log on to SBB I’d get the No Server found 404 message. Grrrrr. So I missed the last chat and chance to tell Raechel & Amy and the girls happy Holidays~! I’m afraid to try to log into DST. But I’ll tell you right now, if it’s down, don’t blame me. But I wanted to show you one of the great things I got with a gift certificate that I won at one of the chats. It was a $5.00 to Amy Cheeseman’s store. I’m gonna use it for the rest of my vacation photos (or at least a few more of the beach photos).

I also have 2 GC to Melissa Baxter’s store for fonts. Yeah!!!!! Well off to check out some of the other sites. Hope I don’t break them too.

Digital Cameras

19. December 2007 by admin.

Of course if you digiscrap you have a digital camera. It’s literally a must have for anyone who takes pictures of any kind now. I love mine and was panicked when I lost my original, actually I think it was stolen, but either way it was gone. When I went to replace it, I went for an inexpensive model and got the Sony Cybershot. It’s a 7.1 megapixel with a 3X zoom. It takes great close ups, but isn’t that great on those shots where I need a zoom. But it’s perfect for those photos of the nieces and the dogs. Especially since I’m not a “photographer”. But my brother on the other hand is and he has a top of the line Nikon with all the fancy attachments that would make anyone jealous and makes me scratch my head wondering what to do with all the extras. But I have compared the photos that both camera’s take.
Taken with my Sony. Taken with his pro Nikon.
Hands down the Nikon is a better. So I’ve been eyeing a Nikon myself, the D40X. I think that’s the one most of us in the digiworld are eyeing right now. Now the best thing about being digital is that I can shoot away to capture as much as the moment as I can. If a photo doesn’t turn out well then *poof* it’s gone. No worrying about developing bad photos again. Plus the ease of sharing them. It’s so easy to upload photos into different sites to share with family and friends. And then the digital photo frames are all the rage this year as Christmas gifts. My brother, being the tech guy he is was way ahead of the pack and got my parents one for Christmas last year. He takes the disc and uploads new photos about every 3 months. I’m thinking he got me one for Christmas this year. That or more goodies for my computer. But that will have to wait. I can’t imagine not having my digital camera in today’s world.

The countdown has begun

19. December 2007 by admin.

Hi there,

Well, the countdown has begun. Only 3 more work days left until my holiday begins. And I can’t wait cuz even though it’s the easiest job in the world, it’s a drag. I’m hoping the weather will hold too. The snow is supposed to be here in Ohio on Sunday but since I’m driving north who knows what the weather will do. I know that this past weekend they got about 8 inches or so. It may be a white Christmas after all where I’ll be. Snow on Christmas Eve would be nice, cuz I have to work the day after Christmas so we’ll leave mid afternoon to come back. If it’s snowing that day, we’ll have to leave earlier which will bum me out. I miss not being near the family and watching the girls grow. But you can count on it, I’ll have tons of pictures of them when I get back.

Who knew that yesterday when I made the comment about Chris Farley that would be every one’s choice to comment? I just heard about it on the radio on my way into work and thought that it would be filler. Too many good funny people lost in their prime to a life of pain and excess.

Oh yeah, I really have to brag on this one. Last night when I got home from work, I got a nice surprise. As many of my regular readers may know, Shannon gets laid off for the winter. I’ve been coming home to dinner almost on the table quite often lately, but last night I also got a completely clean kitchen. Woo Hoo. He’s pretty good about picking up this time of year, but he had every last dish either done and put away or in the dishwasher. Now if I could just get him to put his socks in a hamper out of Jazi’s reach. lol.

Some of you know that OAKS was/is having issues. Well the files were corrupted and the site will need to be rebuilt. Everything that was on there is gone. Since I joined up with the Scrapz pack, most of my lo’s went into that gallery. So even though I have them on my drive, they are not in cyberspace. I think that since I’ve been having mojo issues that unless it’s CT related I’m not going to put it in a gallery. Just post it here. I’ve realized that I need to learn to scrap for me not the approval of others. So this is my first step. Of course, challenges will still go into galleries and of course anything made with CT stuff.

I’ve been listening to the station that only plays Christmas carols at work and there are really only so many out there. I’ve come to love TSO Canon Carol (I think that’s the title- TSO Transiberian Orchestra), Bing Crosby/David Bowie’s Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth is still one of my favorites and of course Merry Xmas -War is Over by John Lennon. But one that always makes me pause when I hear it is Grown Up Christmas List, I think it’s by Amy Grant. So here’s my Christmas Wish for all.

The lines that get me- Everyone would have a friend. Thanks to scrapping, I have found so many friends that I cherish and look forward to hearing about and from. And right would always win - with all the controversy going on in the community lately, this is especially true. You have to believe that in the end right will prevail. And love would never end- any and all love. This is my Christmas wish for you all.

Scrap happy!
