Learning New Tricks..

I have not been feeling well today..but I decided since I am up and moving I wanted to work on my new project. I always have a thirst to learn new things, so lately I have decided to do a self improvement project. Over the years out of necessity..I have learned more about keeping a computer up and running more than I ever could have imagined. I also gained knowledge with working with paint shop pro. But it also lead me to learn some new things in html. I worked in it a little with msn doing web sets..and I also have a few friends that are VERY smart ..that are showing me and telling me things. But anyway..I am going to work on learning as much as I can about web design and html. As you may have noticed ..my blog header changed. I played around with images and decide to create a new header..wasn't too difficult..no html needed for that. Someday I will have a web site and I promise to have a link for it here. All of what I learn to do and have learned to do is going on a resume and when my website is up and running I am going to go looking for a job in graphic arts. I will be able to have written and documented proof of my knowledge without having a AA or BA in graphic design. Hell yes I CAN DO IT..and I have done lots with a few things already..so look out here I come..reaching for the moon while hang on some shooting stars! Thanks Mel and George and all the good people that gave me encouragement and confidence to try!

New Kit..

I just thought I would stop by and post a link to my new kit..it is free to use..and include this time is my terms. Basically they are simple..share but don't claim as your own..recolor ..resize..yada yada lol. I have so much fun doing scrap kits and working in psp..I know I am not the best and I will never say I am. I will always be learning something different and new. Lately I have been thinking of learn or seriously putting my mind into html. I would love to learn how to make a web page and create everything that goes into it. Lately I have been getting a little bored surfing around doing the same things. Sometimes the only reason I sit down in front of my keys are because I know there are friends whom I have come to know and love. The Internet is my link to them. I don't blog too much as my life is sort of simple and not much changes from day to day..which in one way is a blessing but can also be very boring . I hate drama of any type..but what I am looking for is something new to learn. Some new adventures to have, not just on the internet but maybe some life changes also. I want to go back to work full time..but I would love to do something with my graphical knowledge. I also have background in office..as far as some bookkeeping skills and computer related skills. I was a secretary/receptions years ago..now that seems like a eternity away. Maybe I can find a small office that needs help with computers and such..and maybe even some designing . That would be a dream come true for me. For now I will keep searching..and keep typing..and keep creating..so hang in there..more is to come.

Here is link to my new kit..hope you all enjoy it..

Just a update..

It is just another day ..like any other..but I wanted to come by and say hey I am still here world. I have joined a new psp group a few months ago..called Ravens forums..I like it very much ..no drama..and just a group of nice people getting together and sharing a little about themselves and the world of paint shop pro. I am so addicted to the program and don't know what I would do if I couldn't do it anymore. I love graphic arts..I wish I had the educational experience to go with my hands on experience, I could find a great job in that field. I love being on the computer and creating images..I use artist tubes ...like the image above..great artist ..suzanne woolcott..she is fabulous..and I love her work..a friend of mine made me that tag and I love it. She is a PTU (pay to use) artist and unfortunately right now I don't have funds to buy tubes..but if I did I would have all of hers..lol. More and more artist are going pay..but hey I can't say I blame them...I just hope that there are artist that continue to allow their art to be used for free..or I am up a creek..lol. I can draw a little now and then..but I don't have a scanner..and mouse drawn is not for me..can't do it..lol. But enough prattle from this cattle..lol. I hope you all are having a banner day and will be back soon..sooner than before..and try to come up with something more interesting to blog about..hugs Anne

My first Kit..

I am very sorry to annouce that until further notice this scrapkit is unavailable..seems there is something wrong with my 4 shared account. I am working on fixing it..and really hope that I can. I now longer have my kit on this computer as I changed computer and accidental delete it. I thought it would be safe in 4 shared but somehow my rar file changed and was only a document that I couldn't open. I fixed the problem with my fall kit..above..if anyone had a problem it should work now..ss about this..and hoping to fix it soon. Thanks Anne

I have asked around..as of Dec 1 ..I no longer can provide this kit..don't have it anywhere any longer..if you have it and would love to help me..you can email me at twinkle1959@gmail.com I would love to have a copy back up..since it was my very first kit I ever made..it is sort of sentimental. Thanks for understanding..and hope I can continue to bring some fun and new kits to lots of people! Hugs Anne

Because my friend Ellen was so wonderful and kept a copy..I know have my first kit back again ..you can find this here:

Fighting the system

Why is it when you need something the most you always end up with the short end of the stick.

This week has been a horrible week for me..I wasn't feeling good at the beginning of the week and as it progressed I ended up in the E.R of my local hospital diagnosed with having mini strokes..my whole left side was going numb. I have no insurance and where I live I don't qualify to have state coverage..even though I am married with 3 children and my husband works for minium wage. Finding a doctor is the hardest part of all. There are clinics that are based on income..but the paper work takes forever to get filed and approved. I am in the process of doing that now. However..I am very concerned about what happens in the mean time...if I get sicker I have no recourse but to go back to the hospital and be admitted this time..and that is not something I am looking forward to doing. I have so many unpaid doctor and hospital bills now I will never be able to pay them all. I was looking forward to trying to clear up our credit to buy the house we now live in..that I feel is only a pipe dream..it will never ever happen now. I feel so totally lost and I just want to give up..go to bed and not get up again. I know I can't ..I have children..teens but somehow I know they still need that gentle push or swift kick to motivate them in life..so I have to stick around.
I am trying hard not to get to down about this..but the future is not that bright..I guess I can put away my shades.
