Wednesday update


I haven't been posting on my blog for quite 
some time, so I thought I would let you know
what's been happening. My main pc has crashed
and I am having a hard time trying to boot it.
Nothing has worked thus far, but I have a few
things to try again today to see if I can at least 
get to my files to get them off the hard drive in
case I need to reformat. It's been a stressful
4 days, but I take breaks to do other things
so I don't get too stressed out... one day it
will work again... that's all I can hope for...
I haven't been online doing much on my sites
because of this latest incident... but it all goes
with the territory... I have never encountered
this difficulty of getting it running again... 
soooooooooooo.... how is your day??? lol
It was -27 C yesterday... very cold day. I 
like hibernating on these cold days. brrrrr!!!


I have done a little photo art for my book project
I am working on... I'm thankful I have a laptop to
continue my work on it until I get that pc going. 

Well, it's almost 2 am... I think it's time to zzzzzz...

Have a happy Wednesday!!
Love, D

Happy Wednesday!


Happy Wednesday friends! It's very 
cold and windy today, which makes
me want to stay indoors, curled up
with a good book, cup of coffee,
blanket and a nice fire. It makes me
dream of a beautiful house and garden
like the one below!!! lol  Well,
we can all dream now and then!


Enjoy your day, no matter
 what the weather!! 
Love & smiles,
Debra

Decisions


Today I have been working on some art
 for some undecided projects. I'm still thinking
of doing a book of photo art for download or
some greeting cards. I'm still undecided as
to which path I will take, maybe one, both or
none... lol  Well, that would be boring! ;)



In the above photo, I've combined 3 or more
pics for a nice Monet-ish effect. Oh, how I
love Monet... he truly inspires me in many of
my arts! Okay, time to get back to work...
Have a fabulous evening!

Photo Art

I had been working on a new video this past
week, but things came up and I had to put
the project on hold for now. 

These are some photos I've been working with
using different backgrounds. 









Below are trees using 2 photos combined
as well... I love the effect so I just made
a little comment out of it! 


 



I have been battling alot of pain and 
depression in the past several days. 
I've had a terrible migraine that won't stop,
 in addition to the normal everyday
 FMS pain. I hope to feel better, soon!

 Have a happy Monday! :)

Update on New Myspace


I finally decided to take the plunge and start up
another Myspace account at the NEW Myspace...
well, I think it will take a lot of getting used to. I'm
not sure if I will be on there much, maybe down the
road. Anyway, here is my link if you have the 
New Myspace you can connect with me there. 


I hope you're having a fabulous Thursday and wish
you a great weekend. I'll be working some more on 
the new video this evening since I didn't get the chance
to do that yet today!

Update


Today I have been working on a new poetry
video. I'm not sure which poem I will use, or
if I will just write a new one. It's going a bit slow
with all the editing, but it's getting there. 
I should be getting it up in the next few days,
hopefully. Just popping by for an update
and to wish you a lovely evening.
I took the photos a few months ago, 
these trees I'm sure you've seen before.
I'm always taking pics of them!! lol  


Blessings & Love
Debra

Happy Wednesday!

Beautiful Videos


These wonderful videos are so beautiful and inspirational, I
just had to share them with as many people possible.

These are NOT my creations, I just wanted to present 
them to you for you to enjoy as well... :)

 I think everyone would benefit from the video on Gratitude.
It is really eye opening and such a brilliant production. I 
encourage you to share this video with your friends and loved
ones as well... such a beautiful message. 



This second video is a beautiful visual with music. So relaxing 
and just amazing!! I would love to be able to film something
like this or even to go to these wonderful places...Such beauty
God has given us... this wonderful gift of life. God Bless you all!

More Photo Art

 I've been having some fun using photos and
blending them together to make some nice
photo art. I am practicing and trying some
different techniques. Below I've taken 
a photo of a lovely tree and combined it 
with different backgrounds and effects. 
Which one do you like? The river bank is
made with 3 or more photos, one I had done 
some artwork with, and then combined this 
project with 2 others photos. I really like
them both. I love trees and sunflowers... 
actually, all nature. Such great inspiration
to find in this beautiful world... imagine 
and create. Have a wonderful Friday 
evening and Saturday! I hope to hear some
feedback on my photo art so far... I plan on
putting a digital book together of my works
and would love to have your opinions!!



Until we meet again, blessings and love.

Happy this and that...

What a relief. I am still breathing a huge sigh of it... just had
a doctor appointment this morning after detecting a new lump
last week. I was booked in immediately for an ultrasound and
mammogram. The results... everything is fine for now and if
there are any changes or worries to have a biopsy done... so today
it's ok not to worry any more... THANK GOD!! Thank you all for
your prayers and support... God bless you all!

Soon, is someone's birthday and I would like to wish him a 
happy birthday as well, if he reads this he will know that I 
send my best wishes to him on his day and I  hope he is well, 
always. I don't have an email for you so I say it here.. 
Happy Birthday!


So, now for some coffee and to relax after all that pain I just
endured... ouch!!! I think I need some acetaminophen. 



Not happy

Just my luck... the roads are icy. :( I need to go to another city 
to get some tests done. Not looking good, mammogram, ultrasound, 
chest x-ray and blood work for today and tomorrow... and take things 
from there. If the lump is cancer than I will be having a lot of things to 
deal with in this freezing hell here. Not happy :( 20 min drive today to
get to my emergency appointment for mammo/ultrasound. 
Bloodwork and chest xray can be done here. I guess I'll have to pull 
my son out of school early and take him with me. This sucks I have a 
bad feeling about all this... just like last time. :(.

A Little Prayer




I could use a little prayer for tomorrow... I'm a little nervous, 
a lot, actually. :( I hope everything will be ok. Have a good 
night, everyone, and thank you in advance for your prayers. ♥ 
Much love, from me

Happy Wednesday!

Wednesday already... days fly by like a butterfly in
the summer... something I miss since we have had
snow on the ground non stop since mid-October.
I miss seeing the beautiful flowers of spring 
and summer, so I thought I would create my own
sunshine and warmth with 2 photos combined into
one... then I gave it a "Monet" feel to it, since he
is my favorite artist. I hope you have a wonderful
Wednesday, friends. Take care and be safe.

Photo Redo

This is a photo I did long ago but have
just added some extras to it. I really love
the colors in this. What do you think?


Lioness has a Mate!

The lioness looked lonely so I thought 
I would add a mate for her!

Monday Morning

Monday and back to school, back to the schedule, no more 
late nights... yeah, right. I've always been a night owl, but
I think it's catching up to me. Now I sleep in the day... too much.
I made my doctor appointment for this week... and in the meantime
I am praying that the cancer hasn't returned... that would not be good.
I don't know why I'm so tired lately, I just haven't been accomplishing 
much in the way of projects, although I did work on another photo
art today. I used 3 separate photos for this one and found a nice quote
to go with it. Sunshine and flowers... something that everyone
loves. I love the old Victorian style and old photos, so I thought
I would combine one with some nature pics to see what I came 
up with... I am really loving this software and each day is a
new experience and something more that I discover about it.
I haven't read the manual yet... just having fun discovering on
my own... I really need to read it though, so I can learn the
animation and put that to use. Fun, fun, fun...


Well, it's late and it's time to switch off my mind... 
until tomorrow!! 
Peace, love and blessings!! 
Enjoy your Tuesday! 

More Music

I have really missed my music playlist on Myspace... Mixpod
had it going on, but have long since gone under. So, I was
happy to find the player that I could embed here on this blog.
I am slowly adding more music as I find it...and I hope you enjoy
my selection here... as much as I do! :)  I love music...

I've added a few more songs tonight and will be adding more
and more as time goes on... if the music stops, just click the
little arrow at the top left to advance in the playlist. I will try
to keep up and get the songs off that are no longer working.

I've also been working on some more photo art which I 
am still working on. I have been thinking up some various
ideas on using them when I have more finished. 

Here's a sneak peek at one I'm working on...



I've finished my daughter's leg warmers this morning, so
I'm happy to have those finished now. :)

Off to sleep now... school is back in session
today... I'm such a night owl... it's going to be
hard to get back in the swing of things...

Fairy Friday

I haven't been making many things lately,
doing some writing, knitting, crocheting
and a lot of worrying, trying to get some
courage to call the doctor, dreading the 
visit, tests, exams, pokes and whatever
else will ensue from this latest discovery.
After next week I will be calling to make 
the appointment. Hopefully, the cancer
hasn't returned, but this new lump has me
very worried. I've been trying to keep my
mind off of it... I watched 4 movies last night
in a row. Then decided to do some knitting
on my daughter's leg warmers while I was
watching... so at least I have a few more inches
added on the second one. I'll be working
on that today, to try and finish, it's half done.


I really love these old time photos such as
in the above collage I just made to post.
Fairies, butterflies, castles and sleeping 
beauty... I hope you have a fantastic and
magical Friday!! Enjoy the weekend and 
be safe out there!
