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.
Here’s the download links for those zip files:
Winter Desktop PNGs (Insert Your Own Photo)
Winter Desktop JPEGs (Snowmen Photo -- no editing needed)
And for technical purposes, let me go over those credits again:

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 Outdated.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! ;-)
I have this huge one-room apartment. Welcome to join! LOL
ReplyDeleteOkay laying down ur pets should not be an option. Id invite them here but...uh Madeline would probably not um..appreciate that.lol.

House hunting IS frustrating. One has a picture in their mind exactly of what they want and comes across everything that is similar but not exactly what they were hoping for. Keep lookin'. You WILL find something. ;)
ReplyDeleteChin up! Things don't always happend in the order we think they should, unfortunately. At least your not married to who I am married to. Although, I think I got the better deal. Most of the time. ;0)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Your blog post will be advertised on the DigiFree Digital Scrapbooking Freebie search engine today (look for timestamp: 15 Dec [LA 02:27pm, NY 05:27pm, UK 10:27pm] - 16 Dec [OZ 09:27am]).
ReplyDeleteit'll all work out. honest. in the meantime...need some chocolate? dr pepper? edy's icecream? packing partner? call me, k?
ReplyDeleteas for the "other stuff"....check your email. ;)
it will work out :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Lord! I can only immagine what you're going through...
ReplyDeleteI'd leave my husband before I put down my cats!!!
You're absolutely right: the nerve of him!!! >:|
Best of luck, lots of blessing in this tiring endeavour!
I found your blog through Digifree. I was laughing at your description of house hunting since we may be starting soon. I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm not trying to push you out of the L-town, but a friend was telling us that houses are a lot cheaper, but just as nice and roomy in Mury-N. They moved from Mrgntn to there b/c they could get the same house for a lot less. Course that probably wouldn't work for KC since he works in L-town and he may not want to drive that far. Where all have you looked for a place? Hope something works out soon! PS. Thanks for the early Christmas gift you made for everyone and anyone to enjoy! :o)
ReplyDeleteIt will all work out! ;)
