Now if anyone out there can tell me how to change the layout colors to better match, I'd greatly appreciate it!  :)  I have the layout format saved, but I don't know what the numbers for the colors are.  How do you find that?  After all this time, I'm still totally ( Read more... )

I asked for a basic sewing machine for Christmas so I could learn to make my own dog collars.  I love having matching collars for the dogs and I love to rotate them frequently.  At $20-30 each, it gets really expensive though!  I found instructions online and wanted to try myself!  So I got a sewing machine for Christmas and Mom gave me basic ( Read more... )

I just got word yesterday that my Aunt Sally died.  So I'll be heading about four hours up north for her funeral on Saturday.  Just wanted to let everyone know so you don't wonder or worry where I was!   I've been asked to speak on behalf of our side of the family, so I have to figure out what I'm going to say.  I hate funerals.  And I hate public ( Read more... )

Oh, also wanted to introduce everyone to my newest addition.  :)  She was supposed to just be a foster, but she's fitting in so well, I think I'll keep her.  :)

Meet Jelly!  She's a 4.5 month old Boston Terrier that is a puppy mill rescue.  She has lived her entire life in a wire cage in a barn.  So she has no socialization and no training.  It's ( Read more... )
