Merry Christmas Early…plus some other stuff

First the good stuff for you…*winks*

I love being on a creative team!  This kit just came out, it’s called I Believe by Cara of Sweet Tomato Designs.  You can grab it at Faith Sisters, Designs in Digital, or Pretty Scrappy and it’s a killer kit because it’s great for Christmas pages AND winter themes… And what’s this got to do with you??

Well, get this…I got permission from Cara to use it to make a little something to share with you.  It’s a desktop calendar for your computer screen.  I love these things!  

It’s a flattened PNG file in which you can plop your photo behind and save it as a JPEG and then right-click on it in your pictures folder and save as your desktop.  (Least that’s how it works on mine). 

Because I’m such a nice person, this zip file contains one with Dec & Jan calendars also if you want to put it on your screen now.  (Okay, well, actually it contains Dec and Jan because I never got around to putting a December calendar on MY computer so anyway.  lol)

Also because I’m such a nice person, the January one is also in size 1024x768 for you people with non-laptop screens.  Use whichever ones you like. 

And because I’m not just nice, but I’m REALLY REALLY nice, I made one for you technically challenged folks who don’t want to put a picture in…and it’s also in both sizes.  All you have to do is unzip the file and right-click on whichever size suits your screen and save as desktop.  Easy-peasy.  That one is only for January though…sorry.  My nice ran out after I recolored that little snowman photo to match the kit colors…lol.  Please don’t tell Santa…I am hoping to get off the naughty list….haha…j/k!

Here’s the download links for those zip files:

Whew.  That was fun.  Sometimes it’s nice to be nice.  LOL.  It’s also nice to have a desktop that suits the season.  I know what you’re thinking…uh, hello, Faith, how bout changing your BLOG to something that doesn’t look out of season.  Yeah.  well.  I’ll do that when I have time.  At the present, it may be in season again before I have that time.  *sigh* 

Anyway.  House-hunting STINKS.  I don’t know where the “buyers market” is that everyone talks about, but it’s NOT around here.  I don’t know what the deal is with people who are trying to sell their houses but there are a lot of places that are junky.  Outdated.  Just flat out haven’t been kept up.  And they’re asking top dollar.  Duh.  That’s why your house has been on the market for ONE THOUSAND DAYS.  Here’s a clue for you…how bout pricing it as a fixer upper if you’re not going to fix it up.  Not to mention that now I have doubts about EVERY house.  What’s wrong with it?  Is there any taxes owed on it that we’re going to find out about in about 2 weeks?  *Sigh*  And the stress is horrid.  Not to mention we have three weeks and no where to live.  We have cats and only need something short term, which makes it hard to find an apartment.  Our parents are way far from Munchkin’s school (which I’m not going to change until we have a house and know which school she needs to be changing to…).  Right now we have restricted our house hunting to only EMPTY houses in which we could possibly close on and move right in on the day we have to move out of here….but there aren’t many options.  At least not that the hubby and I can totally agree on…um…anyways.  That husband is currently making me very annoyed because he keeps suggesting we have the cats KILLED.  (only he calls it “put down.”)  Of ALL THE NERVE.  Moving on.  Sorry about whining. 

By the way, thanks for all the comments and encouragement on the last post.  I appreciated all of them. 

Um.  Pray for me okay?  You guys know who I married, right?  He’s driving me nuts right now.  And that’s all I can say without whining.  LOL. 

Since this post is gradually deteriorating, I’m going to call it a night.  So there. 

NIGHT.

*edited to clarify…I don’t think KC would actually seriously “put down” the cats because they are inconvenient at this particular time of our lives, it’s just bugging me that he *SAYS* that.  lol.  And he’s got plenty of other good qualities that make up for these other things that occasionally drive me crazy.  However, I will say this, if my cats mysteriously disappear without just cause, the husband may find himself in one of these packing boxes with a mailing label to Tim-buk-tu.  LOL!  ;-)
