~~Green Stripes Calendar~~

OK....so I've not been very good so far at keeping this blog up. Real life seems to get in the way at times. *sigh* I have however made several different things to post, just haven't been able to sit down long enough to upload etc.
Tonight is quiet around here (finally) so thought I'd post this real fast.

I got the idea to put a full years calendar on a QP when a few years ago I had taken the grand kids to have pictures done. The company that I got the picture from also gave me a calendar with all the grand kids. I hung it here in my computer room and used it many times.
So.....I thought I'd make one for this year and see how it looked. It turned out just great when I printed it out. Now I'm sharing it with you all as well. Hope you can find a use for this.

Awwwww........at last our "Blog Train" has arrived!

The theme is "New Years" and all the gals have been working so very hard to bring you lots of wonderful goodies to "Scrap Those Resolutions"


Below you will find a link to Lori Ruth's Alpha Sets that she made to go along with all the other goodies you will gather along the way. She has worked very hard on these and even did them in two different formats for you. You will find the link below.
She did these in PSP (Ver. 12) as well as PNG format for those of you that would rather use PNG or if you don't have PSP.
PLEASE.......be sure to give Lori Ruth a BIG "Thank You" when you download her Alpha's. You can either leave a message here in my chat box, the comments area, or on 4shared. One way or another she will see how much you appreciate her hard work.

I wasn't going to do anything for this "Blog Train." But because I was the "Keeper of The List" for this Blog Train, I decided that I'd share a few things as well.

You will find several links below my preview. I had to break them up into different zip files because it would have made it to hard on those that have slow connections.

~~Darker Fringed Frames~~

The past two days have not been so good for me. *sad face* First off yesterday I took a hard fall down on my knees and OUCH I'm in pain! My one knee is so swollen I can hardly walk. And to top it off it stings really bad and I can't touch it.

Last night I sorta thought I might have to go to ER....but then I changed my mind. I'm not really the type that rushes up to ER for anything. I gotta feel like I'm about to die before I do something like that! *Smile*

THEN............................................................

Two weeks ago, my cat "Ginger" came up missing. At first I just thought she missed dinner that night and would come home the next day. BUT as days went on and she still didn't come home....then all sorts of things of course came to mind.

We have a mountain lion that runs around this area and .... well yes I thought maybe she was a snack for the mountain lion.

BUT then my other cat Gypsy came up missing. I let her out Thurs. afternoon and never saw her again. Then 3 more cats came up missing in between these two. Hmmmmmm.....how could all these cats come up missing at the same time. So, I had our son go to the "Pound aka Animal Control" to see if they were there.

Yep....Ginger and Gypsy were there. The others weren't. Maybe they were but it was to late

Of course I paid to get them out. It cost me several hundreds of dollars to get them out.

Also found out that it was the guy that lives up the road from us that trapped them and took them in. He doesn't like cats.

Mad? You bet I am!!! How would they like it if I took their dog to the pound? Their dog always comes down here to visit and poop in my yard, in front of our mailbox etc. But I just put up with it because I LOVE LOVE LOVE animals and would never harm any of them. And going to "Animal Jail" to me just isn't right.

It really makes me upset how people are so rude now days. It use to be you knew your neighbours and you helped each other out etc. Not any more. Instead, they do nasty things to you. How sad this is.
Anyway....two of my beloved fur babies are home and boy are they glad to be here. I'm scared to let them go outside now cuz of fear those nasty rude people will trap them again.

As promised yesterday, here are the rest of those fringed frames. I'll be making more with more color for stitching on them. I'm having lots of fun playing around with that script I did! *Smile*

~~Fringed Frames~~

The other day I decided I was going to figure out how to make my own script in PSP! *smile*
So.....I got busy and did a couple of different things and then decided what one thing do I use the most....FRAMES!!! I'm always looking for frames to use in my Lay Outs! So.....I made this fringe frame. After playing around a bit more with the script I found the code I needed to make the script stop when I wanted so I could add what ever color I wanted. Now the script works like a charm and I have discovered several other things I can do while using that script! *smile*
It just tickles me pink when I discover something new! LOL

I decided that I'd go ahead and share these "fringed frames" with everyone. They are made rather large so you can size them down and they will still look good printed. I have put them into two different zips because of the different colors. I'll share one zip today and then the other zip tomorrow....so if you like them, you will have to come back and get the others.
The preview doesn't show all of them......as everyone knows, I'm not really good at doing my previews so everything looks really nice.....and trying to show all the frames was near impossible for me.....so believe me when I say there are more! *Smile*

I hope you are going over to the Blog that Emma and I have together. I've added a couple of QP's there and have a couple more to add maybe later this week.

So......go snag these frames if you like. Ooooh.....and one more thing, I'd just like to say that for the very few that say "Thank You" I really appreciate it. I know when you are on a "Freebie Hunt" sometimes you just don't feel like leaving a comment. BUT.....I'd also like to add, to people like "me" that is new to all of this, every comment means the world to me. It makes me to WANT to keep trying and giving. So.....please please please just take one sec out of your "busy freebie hunting" and leave me a quick comment.

OK....enough! You can go snag these frames now and remember come back tomorrow to get the rest!
