MaDonna's Firefox Themes

Happy New Year from MaDonna https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/happy-new-year-by-madonna/   Since it is New Years Eve I thought I would stop in and wish you all a wonderful 2015. We will have a nice quiet New Years Eve like we have had in the past few years. I think the last New Year we saw in was 2000 and we wanted to see if everything would go dark like some people were predicting. And it didn't! The lights are still on, etc.  Fibromyalgia has been putting a crimp in my life the last week. I thought I was managing it pretty well but I decided to go off one of the night time medications and it threw my whole system into a breakdown. Plus the cold, cold weather does't help any. And I am sure going on 76 years old doesn't make it any better. It is a horrible disease that won't kill you, but you sometimes wish it would!  Well, Happy New Year everyone and let us hope for peace and tranquility in the future, for all of us. 

Snowy Owl https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/snowy_owl/ Just wanted to drop in and wish you all a Happy New Year .   Hope your Christmas holiday went well. We find we are more thankful each Christmas that we have family we can spend time with. My brother and his wife are up for the holiday and we had a wonderful visit with them. We have so much to talk about we didn't stop talking from hello hug to goodbye hug. I just wish we could visit with them more often. But it sounds like they will be up for the whole summer this year so we have that to look forward to. I feel very lucky that my family is close and get along so well. I didn't get to see my sister this year but she was in my heart as she always is. Christmas eve day we spent time with some of the grandkids and great grandkids and the evening we spent by ourselves. We find we enjoy the quiet Christmas eve's by ourselves. We had years and years of loud, happy, fun Christmas eve's with k...

Bright Firefox 2015 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bright-firefox-2015/ I only have a couple minutes but I wanted to wish you all a wonderful  Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas day. I hope you can all be with some family to share love and good food. I have some pumpkin breads in the oven and they make the house smell wonderful. Firefox has gotten the User Counter fixed so that is a big plus for all. I have quite a few New Year ones on line and working on some more.

Solitude at Dawn https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/solitude-at-dawn/   I love the design I am highlighting today. I tried to make the morning sky and mountain off to the left side of the screen and think it worked out well. The eagle adds a touch also. It has a been a tough two weeks at our house. Right after Thanksgiving my husband caught some kind of flu bug and didn't take care of himself (like I nagged at him about!). Of course several things happened that he did have to take care of. The gas heater in our "big" room went out and wouldn't stay lit so he had to make 2 trips to town to get parts to fix it and that was during our cold spell. Then we got warm rainy, windy weather, 3 different storms actually and the cap off the chimney blew off so he had to find it, fix it and get up on the roof and get it back on. A neighbor's tree blew down on our daughter's deck but our youngest son got that taken care of. The deck, rails, etc. sti...

Winter Sweet Bullfinch https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/winter-sweet-bullfinch/ This will be short and sweet today as I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to let you know I am making designs for Brand Thunder again. Both GMail, IE and Firefox themes so those of you out there that don't use my favorite Firefox you can still use my designs. I will post links to them as they get on line. I have to learn how to embed the script right in my blog so you would be able to download it from here, but "have to learn how"! So far I haven't figured it out. The first one is up now and you can download it at: https://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/glowingchristmaseve#.VH4fgntUiUm Mozilla STILL doesn't have the user counts, up and coming fixed yet. It has been a whole month now. Hopefully they will get the bug fixed soon. Many of the other designers are complaining about it on the forum I notice.  I have been working on win...

Warm and Cozy Holiday https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/warm-and-cozy-holiday/     I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day. Our kids and some grandkids were here for dinner and some of the grandkids and great grandkids stopped in to visit. So it was wonderful. I have a lot to be thankful for and I am. This was the 56th Thanksgiving day dinner I have fixed. The first one we couldn't afford turkey so we had deer meat from the Ocotber deer hunt. But my parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle and nieces and nephews were all there. Our daughter was born the next week!    I will finish updating this tomorrow. Getting tired!      

Wonderful Winter Wonderland https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wonderful-winter-wonderland/   I hope you are all keeping warm. I feel so lucky that we just got cold weather and no snow like the eastern part of the US. Mozilla still hasn't fixed their user counts so hopefully they will get that fixed soon. I see on the forum a lot of the designers are complaining about it. They have had several updates on Firefox lately and one update really screwed up both of my computers. I lost Personas Plus, my weather and about 3 or 4 other add ons I had installed to help me work on designs. And of course I couldn't remember the exact name of them, so had to search. I even lost my GMail Notifier.  I have been having so much fun working on winter and Christmas designs. I love the little cottages with lighted windows.  I must have the greatest fans because I have been getting such nice emails and reviews. I feel so blessed that I can still work on design...

Autumn On the Farm https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autumn-on-the-farm/   Well, it is definitely "almost" winter. It came in with a blast, didn't it? We have a northeast wind blowing but no snow, so far! If you live to the east of us you probably have some snow and cold.  My poor husband has been trying to keep up with the leaves and the wind. He gets them cleaned up one day and the wind keeps blowing so he does it again the next day. I am ready for the wind to quit blowing and I know he is.  I decided to write on the blog and quit designing for a bit. Firefox is having some problems again! The user counter and Up and Coming have been "broken" for almost a week now. I don't check in on that enough so didn't realize it until yesterday when I was checking on something and it looked like no one was using any of my recent designs so checked in on the forum and find out it is down and they don't have anyone working on it yet.  ...

Deer in Winter Woods https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/deer-in-winter-woods/   November is here and it doesn't seem possible.  I updated my blog over the week end. Took Halloween off and got November on. Hope you like it. Not realy pleased with the winter part but couldn't find another fall one I really liked so we got a little bit of snow on the blog for November. I am enjoying keeping my blog updated. I used to only get on about once a month and it was never up to date. I am working on winter designs already because you have to be one step ahead of the season it seems like. I have seen Christmas advertisements on TV and that is just wrong! But I guess with money the way it is for most people, you have to start early. When we bought gifts for all the kids and grandkids, parents, etc. I started the week end after Christmas for the next year. Then we got smart and only bought for the grandkids. Now we are just down to great grandkids for gifts and ...

Sunshine Autumn Morning https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sunshine-autum-morning/     Good morning to everyone. Hard to believe this is the last week of October. It is definitely beginning to feel like fall, especially in the mornings.  I have been busy on fall designs and starting on Christmas. But I have so many made I shouldn't even do 1 more. But I enjoy it so much. I wrote about a threatening letter I recieved from another designer a few blogs ago. Well, I recently got 2 more from her. I won't post her name but if you want to find out who she is you could just search for one of her designs and she should pop up! One is called A Little Sweetness in Spoon. I probably shouldn't post her last letter to me on line, but it bothered me so much I am going to.  " You bitch - What a wonderful notice - I'm glad I didn't see this before I posted - Or I would have fought you tooth and nail - None of your stuff in copy-righted just be...

Stunning Pathway to Fall https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stunning-pathway-to-fall/   Cold, dreary fall Friday. I am already tired of it. Ready for 85° again. I told you about making my own laundry detergent several months ago. I have used one whole batch now and am loving it. I can't believe how much money it saves. It gets the clothes clean and that is what is important. I have learned to make my own fragrance crystals to match the detergent and that works every bit as well as the one on the store shelves. Now I am going to "try" making my own liquid hand soap. I have some ingredients on the way from Amazon and picking up the rest at our local community co-op. I will let you know how it works out. I have decided to try the foaming dispensers because it makes the soap go father and isn't as messy. I have researched a lot of recipes on line and have put my own together so we shall see.  Harvest Pumpkin House https://addons.mozil...

Autumn Winter Wolves https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autumn-winter-wolves/   This year has gone way too fast for this old lady. Summer was great and now we are into fall. I think we had one of the nicest summers we have had in a long time. I know we broke both heat records and rainfall in one day records! But for some reason this summer the weather was usually nice on the week ends and that usually doesn't happen in WA state. When we were riding our bikes it seemed like we were always waiting for good weather. Now that we don't ride anymore...the weather was great. Sad to get old and not do the things you want to do. The only time I felt free and really good was when I was riding. I really miss it. I found the graphic of an old lady on a motorycycle and had to use it for my avatar on both Desktop Nexus and Firefox Themes. She makes me feel happy every time I see it!   She even has a white puppy dog behind her and the last dog we had was a white fl...

Early Sunday Morning https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/early-sunday-morning/   Well, I had a first this morning. I opened my emails and found a threatening letter from a theme designer. I have had a bit of trouble with her before because she uses some of my wallpapers for her designs. I think I mentioned her before...but anyway...I had posted a review on one of her themes that was quite distorted, (just to let her know so she could/should edit it). Well, she didn't like that so this is the exact email she sent me.  " What the hell is the matter with you!!! Don't I have enough people attacking me without you starting up too. You have some theme I don't like at all but I would NEVER put one - or two stars on yours even if I though you deserve it. I give a 4 and then explain why that's the way a theme should be rated! How much time and effort do we put in making a theme - you don't think just that is worth more than two stars!/? I ca...

Winds of Autumn https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/winds-ov-autumn/   September has arrived in it's cold, clammy fashion in the Pacific Northwest! Rain showers and much cooler. I DON'T like it at all. The weather man says it will be in the 80's this week end, so am keeping my fingers crossed. We had a nice Labor Day week end. Of course we both labored some but it was still nice. Got to visit with our daughter and grandkids on Sat. night. Had delicious tacos and lots of laughs. Have to admit we got a bit loud but it wasn't long before half of her neighbors were as loud as we were. Don't get to see these grandkids as often, so was very special. I feel so fortunate to have such a "nice" family. Everyone seems to get along and enjoys being with one another. I think if more people would make an effort, more families would be happier.  But who am I to judge? Mozilla finally got their user count fixed so designers can actually see...

Deer in Fall Aspen Forest https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/deer_n_fall_aspen/   This week went by so quickly I can't believe it. September is just around the corner. I am not ready for cold weather. I love this warm sunny weather and if our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids didn't live here we would be somewhere where it is warm all the time. I know my husband dreads it, too.  But at least we can enjoy the warmth while it lasts, I guess.  I love the theme I am featuring today. It looks like it does around here in the fall. It is from a painting by Rosemary Millett and I used it as the base for my design. Mozilla still hasn't gotten the user count fixed, Up and Coming nor Most Popular. It has been "broken" for almost a month now. In eastern WA where they have been having all the terrible forest fires are now having flash floods and slides. So if it isn't one thing it is the other. Got to spend some time with some of t...

Cones of Tomorrow https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cones-of-tomorrow/   We had another great week end. Weather was pretty good so we got to be outside a lot. Remember when I said I didn't want to go to my husband's 60th class reunion? Well, we went and we both had such a good time. I got to visit with several old friends. One I was best friends with in grade school so had lots to talk about, especially old friends. Some not around anymore.  Yesterday the weather was beautiful so we sat outside and talked most of the day about old friends. Our daughter showed up with her super macaroni salad so we got out hot dogs and had a wiener roast. Good old summer time! I am not submitting very many themes right now because the system is still broken. Plus I want to enjoy the sunshine. Which I am going to do right now. ♥ More later ♥

High Mountain Autumn https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/high-mountain-autumn/   Hope everyone had a great week end. We certainly did. I actually hated to see Monday come, which is unusual for me. The weather was fantastic and I really hate to see it leave, but the forest fire danger is really bad, especially with lightning forecast. We spent most of the week end outside. We always have a breeze at our house and with lots of trees we can find a cool spot somewhere. Got to spend time with some great grandkids, grandkids and kids so was especially nice.   My Mom's birthday was yesterday and I seem to miss her more and more. There are so many things I wish I could ask her, but it is too late. I helped my daughter get her computers updated so she could sync Firefox. She used to help me with the computer and now I am helping her! She was one of the recently unemployed for several months and luckily she got a really good job and is hoping she doesn'...

Autumn Golden Glories https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autumn-golden-glories/   Our beautiful summer weather is still with us and looks like the entire week may be nice or at least warm. I love it. With the warm weather my body doesn't  hurt like it does when it is cold.  Summer seems to be the time for class reunions, doesn't it? My husbands 60th reunion is this month and I am ashamed to say I don't want to go! The last one I went to with him all the women talked about was their latest operation! I guess when you get old that is the most exciting thing in your life! But I guess I will listen to them because he wants me to go with him, so I will. When my class had their 50th class reunion he had a hunting trip planned so he couldn't go and I didn't want to drive that far so I told him I was going to go with a younger man! I asked our oldest grandson if he would like to go with me and he was thrilled. We had so much fun. He is a very "...

Fractal Color Shine https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fractal-color-shine/   This is a bit different from what I usually showcase, but I kinda like it. I put the cyan font color to bring that color onto your screen.   We have definitely had a cool down here. The east side is burning up and I feel so sad for the many people that have lost their homes to the forest fires. The town of Pateros has really been damaged. We used to ride our motorcycles over there and stay every summer. We would sit along the banks of the Columbia River and cool down because it was always so warm over there. One time it was over 100° in Pateros and we decided to go for an evening ride and my husbands bike wouldn't start. So I was pushing him and his bike down the street so he could bump start it. Here I was with my jacket and helmet on, pushing this heavy bike and him! But he got it started and off we went. Anyway, back to the fires. Lots of people aren't going to have power ...

Summer Explosion https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/summer-explosion/   The weather here has been extremely hot. It sounds like it is going to change, but we are just not used to it. I don't have to work outside in the heat so it doesn't bother me but I feel for our sons and all who have to work out in it. I really feel sorry for the firefighters that are working so hard in 100° weather. My husband used to be gone weeks on end fighting forest fires during his 33 years in the Forest Service. Our kids  have told me they remember the smoky smell when he came home. Back then they didn't have portable showers for the fire fighters like they do on some fires now. His fire fighting boots would smell smoky till they were worn out. The money was good, but I was left home with 3 little ones and we all missed him. I had to get his dirty clothes washed and dried right away because he had to be ready to go on the next fire. One time I didn't even get them washed...

Fieflies in the Forest https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireflies-in-the-forest/   Wow, but I have extra time on my hand this week. My desktop computer that I use for designing was getting tired and my grandson said it needed a new hard drive, which he hadn't replaced the last time he upgraded it for me to Windows 7 (which I totally love). So we got a solid state hard drive from Amazon, my very favorite shopping place. He picked up my computer Sunday and is working on it. I only hope I got everything backed up so I don't lose anything. And I totally dread having to install all my progarams again but it has to be done. So anyway, I do have time on my hands so am actually getting some stuff done that needed to be done but didn't really want to do. You know how that is! If you don't want to do it, it is much easier to put off and then when you are doing it, you think,"Well, that wasn't so bad after all!" The Persona theme I put at t...
