MaDonna's Firefox Themes

As you can see I managed to change my blog header picture from the sunset photo to a photo I took Thanksgiving Day of our barn while it was snowing. I will probably go back to the sunset at some point but wanted my blog to look a bit more like Christmas. I am thinking of using this as our Christmas card this year. I always make our Christmas cards as I like them to be personal. Hope you like the change.

Country_Christmas http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/335506 Thanksgiving is over and it was a wonderful day with family. We had a snowy Thanksgiving day this year. It was beautiful but it made getting around hard for people and many didn't get to be with family they had planned on. We had family together for dinner and it was great. Our youngest great grandson got to be with us and he is growing too fast. What a joy they can bring. There is no way you can not feel good about everything when they bless you with a dimpled smile. I am working hard  on Christmas Personas right now. I have way too many finished so should really quit but have many ideas. I have made some collage themes using old wallpapers of Christmas houses all decked out with decorations and lights.I love the old homestead, farmhouse pictures because I think that is when Christmas was celebrated the  way it should be. Today Christmas is so commercialized it really upsets me. Seeing Christmas advertisement...

Waiting for Santa http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/326800 I decided to re-work my blog "look" last night. I will change it to a winter design around Christmas, I hope. The forecast is for snow tomorrow and over the week end, so I may even replace my sunset photo if I can get a good shot of the fresh snow. The Persona I am showing today is a picture of my 2 oldest kids sitting on the stair steps. I put it on our Christmas cards in the late 1950's. They aren't  cute chubby faced kids anymore, but have grown into wonderful, caring adults and have children and one has grandchildren. I am very proud of my family as you can probably tell. I have Personas with my parents and some of my grandparents in designs. I am even making designs with some of the family dogs!  I am really missing my desktop and Photoshop. I have a file all ready to work on when my grandson brings it back. It needed a turbo boost to be able to keep up with me. For all of you that have Firefox the...

Christmas Chickadees 2 http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/329405 Well, I finally got back to my blog. I have been very lax on posting again . I just get so busy with work and life that I fail to get on like I should. But then again, I think I warned everyone in the beginning I might not keep this up like I should I have been very busy with designs. Making many, many in advance. I have started putting on Thanksgiving and Christmas designs. Even a few spring ones. I am ready for spring already and we haven't even had our first frost here. I had to let my grandson (computer genius that actually made my desktop) take it home with him to update it. The hardware is getting a bit tired and this last week Explorer started crashing. I know I work too fast, copying and moving files around, but that is me. I just work fast. My husbands favorite words are "Slow down!" But if I slow down, I am afraid I might not start up again! I am always finding bruises and can't even rem...

Brother and Sister http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/325343 The above Persona is made from a photo in an album my Grandmother gave me when I was 6. And that was a long time ago! It is a photo of my Mother and her brother in a field at the family farm in Iowa. I think it is a very sweet photo and hope others will enjoy it also.  I am sorry I haven't posted for awhile, but I actually have a good reason this time. I ended up in the hospital for a couple days. I still don't know what the problem was for sure, but they seem to think it is cluster headaches. It is a headache you never want to have as you can not function with it. So, I just could not get on and post anything and try to sound up-beat. Needless to say I haven't been working as hard on designs this past week, but I have lots of them already finished and ready to submit, so if I don't do anything today or tomorrow I have a back log to use. I want to start working on Christmas designs. And will try to ...
