Ailing computer, family, new products, freebie

thought I had lost my PC for sure when I got some weird error codes while working in PS. Everything froze up, lost what I was working on and had lots of trouble getting computer to re-start. But for the moment, I have fingers crossed it's going to hold out a little longer. Managed to finish a set of elements and papers for my Color Stash series. These are in lime green.

Just got them loaded to Digi Style Designs.

Tomorrow will be very busy. Rachel is coming over in morning and will be staying a couple days to work on "her" room. We want to have her move in at least a couple weeks before school starts. Also, hubby has taken day off to take grandkids to a baseball game with one of our old friends. Afterwards, the kids will be coming back here for awhile until their mother gets off work so we will have quite a houseful. I'm going to cook beef stew tonight so it will be done for tomorrow. Not a typical summer dish, I know, but I've got a craving and it's nice and healthy. Have to get back to work in back room but want to put up a freebie for you. It's available in the store here: http://digistyledesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_207&products_id=14300 You do have to register and be logged in so I will try to get back later with a 4shared link for those who don't want to register with the store. (There are a fair number of freebies in store, however.)

Got to run. Hugs!

More CU products and PU freebie

Today was nice but tiring. Got all of our sweaters, jackets, and all but one coat washed and ready to be stored until winter. Did some laundry and cleaned out some dresser drawers. Messed around a little in back room where my niece will stay and felt overwhelmed by all the sorting and organizing that needs to be done. I've got to figure out where to store the things I want to keep while making room for Rachel's things. This house is just too small for all our stuff! Also learned why Tyler didn't put the futon back into sitting position when he last stayed over. He'd nicely removed the linens and folded them up so I'd wondered why he hadn't refolded the futon. Now I know - he couldn't figure out how to do it because I couldn't get it to work today. I do store some boxes underneath and at first thought one was in the way but it's not that. But we'll figure it out. Meanwhile that means less floor space back there for working. Tomorrow morning SIL will drop Rachel and Kristina (R's younger sister) off to work and we will see how far we can get. Hubby cooked us a nice fish dinner tonight (guess that's last night? Friday) and we had watermelon for dessert. Finished up a couple products:

And here is a layered paper and ribbon wrap for you. Personal use only please.

New products, family news, and freebie

Hope everyone had a nice July 4 holiday? I know some had big plans with family and friends. Our grandson, Tyler, and his family went to TN on vacation. My LV friend, Stacey, was preparing for a big family get together. My husband was beginning a vacation that was not so relaxing for him.

(thanks to cheyOkota fro lovely divider here) We've had some pretty bad thunderstorms of late with heavy downpours, lightening strikes and hail. I wasn't able to get much done on computer but at least we didn't lose power like some people did. We even had small tornadoes touch down in Virginia Beach with lots of damage and some serious injuries. And here in Norfolk, one touched down at the cemetery where my mother is buried. It toppled and broke headstones, tore down some trees and did other damage. Fortunately, my parent's marker is a flat one of polished granite that is level to ground. However, it has a bronze vase for flowers and when Dad went to check for damage, he found the vase had been pulled up and was a few feet away - with flowers still in it!

During John's "vacation" he did some painting of house trim and arranged for BIL to come over and repair the damaged wood around garage door frame. He also got his Chrysler ready to turn over to Tyler. We had it waiting for him at his house when they got back today. It's in good shape for an older car and should serve Tyler well for some years. He also cooked two nice meals to which he invited my father and Miss June. Dad is a very picky eater so usually won't agree to come for a meal. He'd rather go to a fast food place and get a hamburger or BLT! So I made him and I BLTs the night John made chicken cacciatre. I don't like it because of the texture of the chicken in the sauce but John was pleased to have June enjoy it with him. Tonight it was homemade barbeque with purchased coleslaw, rolls, and potato salad. We did have homemade deviled eggs though and Dad surprised us by eating well. Sent them home with a bag of leftovers so they won't have to eat out a night or two.

One more bit of family news. We are getting a new addition to our household. Our niece, Rachel, will be taking us up on the offer to live here while she goes to college at Old Dominion University. It will be easier on her than driving back and forth to Suffolk every day. Raci is a delight and I'm looking forward to having her here. She's coming by in the morning so we can start working on making my spare room livable. Right now both closets are stuffed with various craft supplies and things we didn't have any other place to store. I will finally be forced to deal with sorting, organizing and deciding what to give away or throw away to make room for her clothes and whatever else she is bringing. I expect to be quite tired over next couple weeks lol.

I did finish up a few items for my Color Stash collection.

These were added to store tonight. You can find them here: http://digistyledesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=85 While I was in purple mode, I made a free CU paper for you:

You will find it here: http://www.4shared.com/zip/GsL3bN3Mba/ss4cu_CS_Purple_freepaper.html? Expecting more severe thunderstorms over next few days so if you don't see me on line, that will be why. Hugs!

New Products from Sher Scraps & freebie

Don't know why Blogger was so uncooperative last night but seems to be okay now. We were lucky and pine tree out back is still standing and house is intact. Only got some heavy rain from Hurricane Arthur. Turned out too that this was not the week my son was going to Outer Banks - thank heaven. Have been busy cleaning out fridge and haven't watched news so don't know how bad damage was elsewhere. Surely hope it wasn't too bad. I manged to get 2 new CU products in store and can finally post previews.

I also have a little cobalt freebie for you:

Just right click and save. You may use this for Cu if you like as it is from a vintage image. Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July if you are celebrating it today and a great weekend.

Quick post with free paper
