Book of Nature

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/book_of_nature/

Thought I would pop in real quickly and let you know the user count is down and has been down for awhile on Mozialla Add Ons.

I have been making a few designs for spring and summer, but haven't been submitting as many. But I have taken quite a bit of time to get My Collections updated, which I will never get them all, I know. So now when a new one is on line I will add it to a collection and you can check out the latest ones I have available. 

It is time to clean the computer up and put it away for the night! And my body away for the night!

Have a good evening.

Theme Site Up and Running

Sweet Ladybug

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sweet_ladybug/

Thought I would stop in and let you all know the Mozilla theme site is up and running. I don't think it is perfected yet and I know the number counts are wrong, but we are submitting again and not too many glitches.

So far we don't have a page for each designer, but I am going to add each new design to my profile page so you will be able to find my latest designs without hunting for them. I am trying to put some of the older ones on also but since I have over 8,000 designs on I will never be able to get them all on my own page by doing it myself. Right now you can go to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/MaDonna/ and I am adding categories to My Collections to make it easier. I should have made one just Flowers and Butterflies, but I put them under Nature.

Glories of Summer

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/glories-of-summer/

So check it out and see if you like the new site. Some of you may have been using this site for awhile.

Going to get back to work. Later....

Theme Site Back Up

Purity of White Appleblossoms

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/purity-of-white-apple-blossoms/ 

Well, the "Persona" theme site is up and running so we can submit designs again. But our old designer page that would have ALL of our designs on is not there anymore. I am hoping they will make that available but I kind of doubt it. So for now I will try to post more often and add more designs on the blog.

Fine Fractal Flower

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fine-fractal-flower/ 

I have to say I kind of enjoyed the "vacation" from submitting designs. It takes quite awhile to do each one and the new system isn't any faster. 

What a cold, rainy day it is today in the Pacific Northwest. My body is so ready for some warm weather. The older I get the more I appreciate being warm. I am such a home body, though I could never move to AZ or some warm area. I love my home, having my kids, grandkids and great grandkids close. We got to spend last Sat. with our oldest son and his wonderful family. What a joy! Good food and lots of love to go around. The only bad part is that the little ones are growing up too fast. The good thing is  a little one on the way.

I have had some of you out there ask me if I would write more about my life when I was young, since most of you weren't around during that time so I think I will start doing that. I have had a wonderful, fun, full life so some of you may enjoy it and some may not. I am still in the "thinking about it/do I have time" mode, so we shall see!

Must get back to work now so enjoy the week end.

April...can you imagine it is April already? March went out like a lamb here in the Pacific Northwest. What a beautiful day it was! It was warmer than it is half the time in the summer. But it is going to spoil us so badly. Because it will get cold and rainy again and I will hate it.

 

The old Persona site is down and will be gone soon. They are moving Persona themes to the Add On Mozilla site so designers  can't submit any new designs until it is set up. We have always submitted our designs to the original Persona sight so I am sure there will be a total mess when the new site is up and running. The site will be at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/. Each designer is supposed to have their own page so I will post mine as soon as it is up and running. I just wanted to let you all know why there is nothing new right now. I am not submitting any wallpapers right now that I can't submit the matching Persona theme for, so there won't be as many wallpapers, either. I was notified by an administrator from Desktop Nexus that many of my wallpapers are on other sites now. Plus I have to watch that people aren't downloading my wallpaper and re-submitting it. The site is supposed to catch copies but it isn't perfect by any chance.

 

I love the Angel of Light theme I posted here today. I have always loved any angel graphics and I am sure you have noticed I have several on line.

 

I was really busy last week finishing up the two book covers I had been asked to design and I was quite happy with them. I just hope the publisher OK's them. The author I am working with, Charlotte Kendrick is a great grandmother, too! We didn't know that when we bagan working together. So all great grandmothers aren't sitting in their rocking chairs watching TV!

 

Going to get back to work now but have a great April. 

HAPPY EASTER

Rainbow Easter

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rainbow-easter/

It is a beautiful sunny day here on the west coast, but yesterday we had snow. My Mom used to say "If you don't like the weather today, wait until tomorrow." She also taught me to never leave home without a coat because you will probably need it. The way it has been lately, I would change that to never leave home without a raincoat!

 I have been really busy lately, busier than I would like. I was asked to make a design for a new soap/lotion company that is starting up and I worked a lot on it, but then they changed the name so I had to re-do and it turned out really beautiful. I hope they use it, but we shall see. If they don't I can use it as a Persona Theme anyway. After I re-do it again. I was also asked if East Coast Dye Sub could use some of my wallpaper designs for the items they make such as mouse pads, etc. and I gave my permission for one so far. I am also working on two book covers. Besides the fun work of designing to please myself!

My dear friend just got word her husband has cancer so if we could all send good thoughts and  prayers to them we can hope things turn out well. They are such good people and do such good works for their community. So all the best to you and your family K. 

I have been not turning the computer on during week ends but I decided I wanted to update the blog and wish everyone a Happy Easter. 

So Happy Easter.

Thought I would change my blog a bit. Spice it up some. My timer is going to ring soon, since I have to set the timer when I am on the computer so I don't stay too long. If I sit too long, my back starts hurting and it doesn't help my eyes any, either. So I set the timer for only 20 minutes to work and 10 to 20 minutes off. It really limits me, and I hate it, but...

Had my 74th birthday so I am really getting up there. I can remember when I was 30, I thought 70 was "really, really old"! Now, I think 90 is old! 73 was not good to me so I am hoping 74 will be better.

I have only made a few Saint Patrick's Day designs and a few Easter ones. Have a few more ideas for Easter but am finished with Saint Patrick's Day.

I think my favorite ones to make are spring. We are all tired of dreary old winter and the spring designs are bright and cheerful. So that is what I enjoy making the most.

Timer just rang, so I am off to do some dusting or whatever needs to be done.

February

Joyful Purple Poppies

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/joyuful-purple-poppies/

February is almost over and I am just posting for February! Oh, well, you know I don't  keep this up like I should if I was a good blogger.

I have had the laser surgery on both eyes now and I guess it was successful. The Dr. said the pressure was down and it should help preventing the common type of glaucoma. I didn't know before this that there was more than one kind.

I have had to cut back on computer work, though. I am trying a 20/10 plan but I am not always successful. 20 min on the computer and 10 off. The 10  off is easy because I am going through drawers and closets getting rid of stuff I haven't used for years. The 20 on is harder because I will be in the middle of a design and the darn timer rings. Sometimes I forget to hit the start button, too so have no idea how many minutes I was working. I seem to lose time when I am working. But my eyes are better and my back is definitely better so I just have to make myself do it. I am not submitting as many designs a day, though because of this.

Right now I am working on a banner and avatar for a company that makes soaps, lotions, etc. and it is fun. I am working with the colors and things I like to work with, angels, doves, clouds, etc. I sent them a sample of what I am doing so can't work on it anymore until I hear back.

Our oldest great grandson was 8 years old yesterday. We went to his birthday party Sunday and he is getting so grown up.

Well, I just heard from the company and I have to start over! I will use it as a theme! It is too pretty to waste.

I hope you all had a nice Valentines Day. I baked brownies for my husband and he gave me a valentine he made and some candy. It was nice and I just feel lucky that I can spend Valentines with him after all these years.

Back to work and hope all is well with you. Be back soon
