A Quickie ...

Whoa ... I've got a busy day today. Laundry, shopping, cleaning, pay some bills plus I really want to finish these dvds I'm working on etc etc ... I cannot believe today is the 16th!!! So todays post is going to be quick.

For those of you who took the time to vote for my scrapbook pictures at Artscow on Facebook, thanks. Two of my three pictures won a runner up prize of $10 each ... lol. I was shooting for the bigger prizes but hey, it's better then nothing.

For those of you who don't belong to Artscow you really should go see the amazing products they have at GREAT prices. Everything can be personalized and what a great way to use some of your scrapbook embellishments~! It's free to join and new customers get free items, plus they always have great promotions like free shipping etc. I would recommend them to anyone as far as quality, price etc. You can go to the forum there and see how everyone is raving about their purchases. They also have a gallery where people post pictures of the items they have bought, it's really neat to see. Another great thing is they have a 'Special Sale' tab you can go to and see items at great prices.When you purchase one of those items just copy and paste one of the available sale codes at checkout and the item is discounted right away.

The Mad Rush ...

Are the malls nuts or what? The malls are just crazy around here no matter what time of day or night you go. Our local Walmart is open 24 hours until Christmas and I would love to go at 3 am. just to see if anyone is actually there ... lol. I still have a bit of shopping to do but we really don't have alot of people to buy for.

Before you know it, it's going to all be over anyways. And then the Christmas spirit leaves and it's back to the Winter Blahs ... lol. I have no idea why but I think this winter is going to go by quickly.

I'm in the middle of transferring all my old videos over from super 8 film to dvds. I bought this box called DVD Xpress and you basically plug your video camera (or vcr or whatever) into the box and the box into your computer and it comes with a program that transfers the videos onto your computer. Then you can put them onto dvds. Its time consuming but it will be worth it. I haven't watched most of these videos in years. I realized I think I have more videos of my late cat Whiskey then of my actual daughter ... lol. I litterly have hours and hours of him including his one year birthday party complete with cake, hats, noise makers, treats and singing~! He was a great cat and lived to be 13 years old. He's been gone now for almost 6 years and after seeing the videos it made me miss him again. I don't take videos anymore but after watching some of these I realized that I should be. Photographs just don't replace videos no matter how good they are. So that is my goal for next year - to take more videos.

4shared Problems

4shared had a few hiccups this morning. For those who had problems with the password all seems to be fixed now.

No sooner said ...

Well, I think I jinxed myself. My last post was on the 9th and I actually had preposted the night before and set it up to post at 7 am. I was saying that we had a 'little' snow and that last year on Dec 9th 2008 we had a huge snowstorm. Well it was no sooner posted and it started to come down ... and it came down ... and it didn't stop all day ... lol. Sooo ... on Dec 9th 2009 we also had our first big snowstorm of the year. And then me posting the word art "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" might of also had something to do with it. Strange ... lol.

Early that morning I had filled up all the bird feeders and put out suet etc. I'm really glad I did because the poor little chickadees have been just gorging on it. I have no idea how these tiny birds survive all winter. Actually many of them don't. But if I can help keep the ones around here alive, I will~!! I think they are so pretty and love the sound they make. I find they are getting tamer and tamer compared to a few years ago when we first moved here.



The other birds that have been around alot lately are the hawks and falcons.





They usually sit on top of a dead tree in the conservation area. They sometimes sit there for hours. They are obviously hunting but I've never seen them get anything and I'm glad I haven't. I realize they have to eat but I just don't want to see it. Like I've said before I notice when they are around, the woodpeckers and larger birds are no where to be seen. The chickadees still seem to go about their business. They must not have enough 'meat' on them for the hawks ... lol.

Do you realize that two weeks from today is Christmas day?? That's nuts! And 3 weeks from today it will be 2010!!! That's even nutser ... lol.
