A New Years Wish

Serene Waterfall
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/350825

A brand new year is beginning. Hard to believe that 2010 is gone and went by so quickly. We had the addition of 2 new great grandsons to our family, William was born in August and Lucas was born December 30th. We welcome them with open arms.

The Persona design I am happiest with this week is the one I picture above. When it is on the Firefox browser it makes you feel warm and serene. I had a lot of fun making it, using Photoshop, moving layers around, etc. I wish I knew more about Photoshop. There is something new to learn every day.

I am so bad about getting on to blog and I apologize to any and all who read this. But sometimes I honestly don't know what to write about. With the cold weather we haven't gotten out much, so no picture taking. Well I did take some sunset pictures with my new camera but they weren't anything to brag about, in fact I deleted them.

But I did want to check in and update my blog design as Christmas is over. Christmas eve was wonderful, loud and cheerful at our house. The kids, grand kids and one great grandchild were here and we all ate too much and laughed too much. What a joy, though to have them all here. The older it gets, the harder it gets to be together. One grandson and his wife and their son couldn't make it as their baby boy was due anytime and didn't want to get too far from home, so they were greatly missed.

I wish for a happy and healthy 2011 to you all. And I will check in again soon, promise!

Wonderful 2011 to you and those you love and care about MaDonna,
I'm astonished again. You keep turning your Spot into a more beautiful experience with each change you apply.
The Mirror Lake photo is fully captivating. Thank you for sharing the magic of such a beautiful place.
Your Serene Waterfall is as you say. The warm calmness it emanates soothes the mind even when not looking at it. Thank you for the doing and giving. Though I am surprised I'm responding to water when here in Queensland the Sky has either become distracted and forgotten its left its taps running, or the faucets are broken and refuse to be repaired... began raining mid December and still keeps giving more. Hopefully there will be some left for other parts of the Earth when needed.
A big warm welcome to your two new Great Grandsons. They're lucky boys. They've arrived into a Family filled with Love to give.
Bestest wishes to you MaDonna. Thanks for visiting and your encouraging words. M Australia
PS: Sorry for the delete... realized after Posted I'd left out the Great for your Great Grandsons.. too big an error to have let pass.

Hello! Since I started using Firefox, I have always chosen your personas and didn't really make the connection till today that they were all made by you. So a big thank you for your wonderful photography and the time you take to make such beautiful personas for all of us to enjoy. I am now following your blog. Much happiness to you in 2011.

(A little about me)

I once said I never wanted a computer, BUT...
one of my grandson's is in the IT Department at WWU and installed Firefox when he built my desktop computer. I really like it and won't use any other browser now. It is safe, fast and has tons of extensions to make it easy for your browsing. One of the add ons they have available are themes which they used to call Personas. They had been called Personas for several years and became very popular, but someone at Mozilla got the bright idea to change the name. Whatever you want to call them they are still a fun quick way to make your browser personal. You can find my Persona/Theme designs at:
https://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/Designer/MaDonna

I make desktop wallpaper designs to match many of my themes, which you can use as background themes for GMail. You can also use them as a wallpaper for your cell phone. You can find my desktop wallpaper designs at: http://my.desktopnexus.com/MaDonnas/uploads/

I have been making theme designs for my own personal Firefox ever since it was installed. Then it was opened so you could submit designs for approval in 2008. My design called Sunset Over Water had over a million and a half people using it at one time. It is from a photo I took off Chuckanut Drive on our way home from a wedding.

I have always been interested in design. When I was a little girl I designed clothing for my paper dolls. Then designed and made clothes for my regular dolls. I made most of my own clothing in high school. When I was older I designed, sewed and made our 3 kids clothing. When they got married and started having babies I made tons of clothes for our 7 grand kids. I decided to sell some of my designs. Fibromyalgia decided to put a stop to that. Sewing for hours a day was just too much.

I am a bit of an over-achiever and when I start something, I don't know when to quit! I have done a little bit of sewing for our great grand kids, but I know I have a limit and when to stop.

I used to design and make jewelry and sold at bazaars which was a lot of fun.

I work on themes and desktop wallpaper designs almost every day and have enjoyed hearing from people all over the world.

I was asked to design themes for Brand Thunder. They have theme designs for people that use Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari and also Firefox. In 2012 I won a Nexus 7 tablet on a pop culture contest they held. They have changed their format so I don't make designs for them anymore.

I now use Photoshop Elements to make my designs. It is a very complicated program to use, especially at my age of 82.

Thank you all for your comments and using my designs. I will keep making them as long as I can and people enjoy using them.
