A New Beautiful Day

Good morning. Yesterday all us were a little nervous about the tornado in Springfield Ma. The tornado was on a path thru northern RI. I live in the Southern part, but I have family that I was concerned for. RI being the smallest state makes one think that anything could happen state wide. Last March we had the flooding through out our state. Well Im thankful we are all fine.
Yesterdays goal was to put a link on my blog and to post a picture. Well the picture was there ,bigger than expected but the link didn't happen. I wanted to post a link to my friend Sarah of Pink by Design and know as Pink Cricut I used one of her sentimental stamps and wanted to give her the credit. I'll try again. You can see the stamps at http://www.pinkbydesign.com She going to have a Ustream to show her new stamps for June.
I will continue to keep searching for answers about blogging. Its a whole new language. So no new picture today but I will share the goodie bags I made for Danielles 5th birthday.
See you soon, Dawn RI

Going to Try Something New

June 1,2011
Well its a new day and a new month. Im also a new age since my family celebrated my birthday this Memorial Day weekend. So today I'm going to try to add a link and post a photo. This will be my first try so wish me luck, LOL.
The photo is a picture of a card I made using my Imagine, Lori's Garden cartridge, I inked the edges on the design and on the sentiment. I used dimensionals to raise the image which gave it new look. The sentiment stamp is "Hat's Off", by Sarah at www.pinkbydesign.com

Trying to figure this Out

Im trying to figure out how to get the tabs that many of you have under your header....Looks like my archives are ok, but how do I get the names of the cartridges to show the projects associated with each cartridge? . I have so many questions about blogging, and each day Ive been playing on the computer to figure it out. I am open to suggestions that would help. Ide really appreciate it...
The sooner I can figure out this world of blogging the sooner I can start bringing in pictures of what I've been working on, and sharing with all of you. Right now I am doing favors and such for my grand daughters 5th birthday. The theme she chose was Rock Princess. So far I have rock girls and glittered hair. I thought Once upon a Princess would be more to her liking but glittered hair it will be...I'll be back soon and maybe I will have figured Something Out. Good night for now. Dawn RI

A Little Confused

5/19/2011
  Well today is my second day at being in Blogger World. Ive played around a little with the site.  No scrap creating today, I'll call it "computer day". I really do not know what I'm doing, its just going to take some time. I do know that  I can be seen on the web. My Friend Sarah over at Pink Cricut did see. my blog. She welcomed me to blog world, hehe. So my big project today was my listing all my cartridges  to a new page , my only question is will they show up  (YES)  *check, they are on the page. My only concern is that I want to  show the cartridge and then have it  show the project  or projects Ive done using the selected Cartridg.e.
  The second thing I want to work on is putting a picture of my grand children on  my blog. They are my life. I LOVE them so much and I am very proud of them. Jaysn is seven and Danielle will be five next month. She will be starting kindergarten in the fall. Watching them, I can't believe how fast the years have gone by. So I leave you now to go see how to post pictures... My fingers are crossed.  If all goes well I will try to post again  tomarrow....Love ya ,Dawn RI

Well I've Just Begun...

Today I post my first post. I'm happy I took on this new goal at this time in my life, and I don't know where its going . I just feel I need a little

something more in life than to just be a

wife,

mother,

grandmother.

retired / disabled , person

always being a

day late

and

a dollar short.

I always had big plans in my life but was always just a little short  of having "BIG" dreams coming  true.

I've accomplished alot over the years

and I always strived to get more.  Usually I wound up

detouring from the path I was on and making a new path going in

another direction.

Little did I know that under my HS yearbook picture

my quote was,

"Follow not where the path leads,

but follow a new path and leave a trail". 

I always wanted to try new things and I did but something new always

came along.

Now that Im retired I need something more even though

my limitations get in my way. Its been just over a year that I left

my job (one that I LOVED) and its time to move on...

Theres been alot of changes but Im beginning to have structure im my

chaotic life.

My crafting area "room" has been abandoned too many times, but its  

taking shape once again. Ive always liked the arts and plan on doing more.

The best part is I am sharing it all with my four year old grand daughter.

She justs loves being crafty, coloring, painting, and working with scraps and I will continue to help  My grandson to draw stick figures .

Im on my way to that "big" dream and that is continuing to share.  .

So on this new journey Im going to try sharing a little part of me  

with all of you .

By reading blogs and being inspired by many of you,

has made me once again realize ,

I want to CREATE, LIVE and to LOVE What GOD has given me..

WELCOME, Dawn RI...
