I've been trying hard to get my blog all spruced up for a new "Christmas" look. I tried to figure out on Photoshop how to make my header have falling snow. My version of Photoshop is old and I evidently can't do that. I then went to www.picturetrail.com and made a cute little blinky of this picture with falling snow. It looks cute, but I can't figure out how to insert it as my header. You should be able to see it in the sidebar. It's times like this that I wish I were more computer savvy. On top of being computer illiterate, my computer is running as slow as molasses. I'm still cheerful though because this is my favorite time of year! I just love the holidays. Keeping watching because I'll keep tweeking my blog until I am happy with it's new Christmas touches.
Below is a new print that I've added to eBay and Etsy shops. My links are in the sidebar. You may have noticed that I've closed my MySpace page and my Yessy shop. I'm trying to simply my life and prefer to do just a few things well instead of halfway doing several.
Now, for a real shocker. Yesterday while driving to Independence, MO look at what I saw!Can you believe those prices! I live about 45 minutes away and it's 20 cents higher. Thought some of you might enjoy this since the news keeps saying that the average is still above $2.00.
Your Christmas look, is looking mighty Merry!! I don't know anything about computer stuff. I just hope my photo editing program never stops working - I would be so lost if I had to try something new!
ReplyDeleteGreat gas prices! Our gas just lowered to $2.13.
Love the new look of your blog Cathie! I like a black background as well...everything seems to "pop" against black. The falling snow looks great on your sidebar...very nice. I'm not too computer literate myself or I'd offer to assist you with getting it on your header but I'm not the "go to" person for computer things.
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas look Cathie. I need to be working on something for mine.
ReplyDeleteWOW 1.65...we thought we were doing good at HYVEE at the lake, when it was 1.96. We saw it somewhere for 1.89. But your 1.65 beats them all. We find QT, usually has the best fuel prices in our neck of the woods. The problem...the nearest is about 15 miles away!
Love your banner Catherine....I know what you mean though, doing stuff online is sometimes not as easy as we think it will be or would like it to be. LOL.
ReplyDeleteDo you live in MO?? My husband is from Kansas City Mo and that is where my in laws still live. : )

I love how you're decorating your blog for christmas! I might have to borrow that blinky photo idea - I'd love to see snow falling on one of my log cabin pics!
ReplyDeleteP.S. In Michigan - the cheapest I've seen gas so far is $1.93 / gallon.
Wow! That's a great price. We were tickled when we recently got it for $1.96.
ReplyDeleteI love the new look and the new art!
Looking good Cathie,
ReplyDeleteYou aren't computer illiterate blogger just isn't the easiest program to use!
I can't believe the gas prices I am sooo jealous. I am lucky I can walk to work because our gas prices just came under $2.00. It is $3.50 for a good portion of the year! Love NY taxes!
I will be back around to see what other little eye candies you might put up !
Smooches

Okay, that's downright amazing! Our gas is still around $2.50 a gallon and we think that's great. I never thought I'd see a price with a one in front of it again. I love what you've done to decorate for Christmas. It's wonderful!

Hi Catherine!
ReplyDeleteBoy I've missed coming to visit you. I'm finally back from my long needed break. Your blog is looking so festive, and WOW I can't believe those gas prices.
Hugs,
Rose
Love the new Christmas look.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe those gas prices. I thought we were doing pretty good here in NJ at $1.92.
