Tube 89-2 by Anna Liwanag

Love, love, loveee this kit by HorsePlay's Pasture Designs. It was originally purchased by me and now is being offered FREE.  It has so many wonderful pumpkin patch and harvest time elements. It's just a great kit to have on hand for the autumn season. Anna Liwanag's tube fits perfectly into this scene. Just love her work! 

I used a template for the background, Millie's #4, following a tutorial created by Rhonda's Rocking Designs. The tutorial and template are free to use. Tutorial is here and template is here.  The mask I used is also by HorsePlay's Pasture Designs, #29, is free to use and found on her website here.

Mornings are chilly...I spend time watching the dog play, sipping coffee early in the morning.  I can feel the weather changes in my fingers, the gathering stiffness in the joints when dampness is in the air.  Thinking it may rain...one day soon...😎

This was a very simple and easy tag to create. Either that, or I'm getting better! LOL! Doubt it, still have lots to learn. Working on a new blog background for Valentine's Day, which is not as easy as it looks.  Thankfully, its making me remember HTML and CSS...things I totally forgot since I gave up my website years ago.  Its a challenge, but I relish it and even the frustration of trying to get it all to come together makes it worthwhile.  Its a time eater, sometimes I can't believe how fast time flies by when I'm absorbed in trying to work out scraps and matching colors, jewels ...etc.  I look up and realize its after 11 and a work night. Time to put it all away until I get a chance tomorrow.

Life has been keeping me very busy during the day. Good news is that I am sleeping better!! My eyes are bothering me more these days. After working all day on the computer, I give them a rest at night. However, I was missing working with my graphics and decided tonight to create the Facebook timeline for Halloween above. The idea came from a movie about gypsy lore and halloween spooks. I hope you enjoy it.  Its free to use, just click the image and save to your computer.   

My daughter Jackie has hit a run of bad luck. On Tuesday night her new car (4 months old) was hit by a drunk driver. He hit the car with such force, it landed on the sidewalk in front of our house. Luckily, he was not hurt, his airbag went off and officers that responded took charge of getting all the information we needed to file a claim against his insurance. She has no car and of course, Wal-Mart has now chosen to change her schedule, making it difficult to arrange our work times. My hours used to be the same as hers, but now they are very different. We are hoping she will be given a rental to use while her car is being repaired.  My heart goes out to her. She is so upset about her car and now worried about this new schedule and transportation to get to work on the new shifts.  When it rains, it literally does pour!

Its Friday, I have no plans this weekend. Jackie will have my car, so no shopping in Tucson (guess I save some money..lol). I will be resting and spending time pulling weeds that have sprung up in my flower beds from all the rain!  My master bathroom is scheduled for remodeling next week...crosses fingers.  I have been waiting to get this done for over 3 months now.  I also want to redo my bedroom, but figured it could wait until the bathroom is completed before tackling that project. The bathroom is slated to have the flooring redone...I need to see how that looks first before deciding about the bedroom floor. 

I worked a bit late today, getting ICD 10 updated codes into NextGen so we will be compliant October 1, 2016. They didn't take long to load, no major problems encountered. But hey, it always works for me...have to see how it goes Monday morning.  

Off to watch a movie before bed...
