Cold, Cold December

A Christmas Gnomes Home

We have been having a really cold December! And it's supposed to stay cold for awhile. I do not like it! Cold weather is much harder on the elderly. We both notice it

I have plenty to do to keep me busy, though.

Thanksgiving was really fun. Tons of food and we played Uno afterwords. One grandson and family were all sick so they didn't get to attend. There is so much sickness going around. We still aren't going out much. We did go and get our 2nd Shingrix vaccine yesterday. We should have gotten the 2nd one 4 year ago, but they never told us so we didn't. Next week we both get our tetanus shots updated.

The laptop I bought with my first Covid check updated to Windows 11 yesterday. I hadn't planned on it, but I accidentally did, So far, so good. It isn't that much different but going to take getting used to. I noticed it had a bunch of junk like TicTok and several apps that I won't use so I got rid of them. I don't do my Photoshop on the laptop so still using my old, old desktop. It just keeps plugging away.

I imagine everyone but us is buying Christmas gifts! We quit gifting quite a few years ago so I don't have that to worry about. When our grandkids were small I went way overboard. I sewed for months before and made each of the 7 almost a new wardrobe! I loved the sewing and wish I could do more now.

But this is what I pretty much work on now. I work standing up about half the time because of my back.

Winter Gnomes Home

As you may have noticed I am working on a lot of gnome themes. I think they are the cutest things ever. The Winter Gnomes Home, I also made a wallpaper to match that one. If you want more of your theme to show just add a toolbar and you will see the entire image!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and winter. Don't spend too much money. What with grocery prices I am very glad we aren't shopping for gifts also. We will have Christmas here but no gifts. We don't fix dinner for Christmas anymore, just tons of snacky stuff! I have got to figure out what to make soon.

Well, I am going to sign off for now but wanted to add a bit for December.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

(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:

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.
