~ How did I do? ~

Posted in Crafts
Well, I used those sites that Sally gave me to match colors.  I tried making graphics, and I think I did pretty well putting it all together.  What do you think?  Does it look o.k.?  I went with spring type colors.  I will leave it for while and see if I like it.  Tell me what you think.

We are on Spring break!!!    The kids worked real hard this morning and finished up school early.  It feels good to be on a break.  I think we all need it.  The weather so far is nice, and we have a good weekend coming up.  Though I do feel like I might be getting the cold the kids have.  But so far its not too bad, we'll see how it goes.

I went to bible study tonight, it was good.  We are learning about encouraging one another, and right now it's been talking about how God encourages us through His Word.  I'm really getting to know the ladies, and feel like I'm making some friends.  It's a true blessing to be there.  And it's a real encouragement.

I have most of our school curriculum ordered.  It feels so good to have that done.  The only thing I'm waiting on is math for Paulie.  Teaching Textbooks is coming out with a Math 4 this summer and I want to see if Paulie is ready for that level or not.  I need to see the demo, and the placement test before I decide.  Otherwise we'll stick with Saxon for another year.  But other than that one thing I have everything ordered.

That's about it for the past couple of days.  I'm looking forward to this week off to play with my graphics software and work on my filet crochet.  When I finish my crochet project I'll make sure I put out some pictures.  Have a blessed night.

Well, I love it! The blue gackground is so calming to the eye, like looking at the bottom of the ocean from a glass bottomed boat. (-:

Well, you know I like blue and yellow, so I'd say it's a great job! I am working on a pink and yellow look for summer. I really like yellow. It's so cheerful. Have a great weekend.

Good job, JoAnn! I like blue and yellow together, and I like your off-white paper-looking background, too. At least, that is what it looks like on my screen. I know that all monitors don't display colors the same, depending on the brightness settings. I finally decided to do the colors on mine the way I like them on my settings. I wonder what other people see, lol. Oh well!

Good job on the template. I like the colors. You know, I make custom graphics if you want me to make one for you. No charge. It's fun and I can make it personal for you... like a blog button or something. Just let me know...

It's such a great feeling when you can connect with people after moving. Sometimes it seems like it takes a long time, I think. I'm really glad you are making friends!

Your colors look really good. I'm impressed. I just bought the digital Creative Memories scrapbook package, but it's not too intuitive, so I'm getting way behind. ): I feel so technically out of it! Anyway--you are inspiring me. (:

Warmly,
Lori
