Off this weekend and have a scrap night planned as well as seeing DS at a swim meet.
Linda, I think you can download the Silhouette software from the website without a disc. I did that when I got my new laptop. You just need to have your user name and password to download it. Hope that helps!
Happy Belated Valentine's Day! Happy weekend!
I found cute stickers at AC Moore last night when I was in Philadelphia and I plan to scrapbook tonight, as well as write for my Happiness Box. In two weeks, I have to put together a display about my Happiness Box at the library and want to write a few blurbs about the project. I might also print out the articles I wrote and tack them up as well. Just a thought, might be blurbs of the articles.
I hope so. The last time I did a display, I did one of travel/scrapbooking and many said the colours made them feel joyful. I hope that this display brings the same joy!
I'm thinking of finding D-Rings for the 2nd half of Happiness Box 2017 scrapbook since I never expanded the album. I will have to see where I can find them.
Went to DS's last home swim meet of the season. It was a wonderful day. Afterwards I went to my friend's house and worked on a LO. I was pretty tired so packed up early which was close to 10:30, lol.
Jess, sounds like your Happiness Box display will be a real hit. I'm excited for you. I think it is something more people will do in one form or another, once they see it.
Linda, hope you and Dave are feeling better. Did you find your scrap desk yet?
dave was not feeling wel againl so Ang went to the store for us again. she also cleaned a bit and took the trash out. this happens to him sometimes but this happened to him after he was in the nursing home. I do not think it is his heart. he is just so weak any more.
Linda, I hope Dave gets better soon - I wish there was something that could be done about the weakness.
I took off from my FT job today and will be going ice skating. I plan on writing for my display in Starbucks; I was busy reading and scrapbooking this weekend! I find that I am a better writer and creator in the morning because I'm a morning person. Not so much a night owl.
I asked ang about where to place the disk and she said she would look after she did something but she forgot. I forgot to ask her again last night I Found 2 places that open up . 1 is just a space. the other I am not sure if will go in. I found a photo enlargement of my dd and I at sesame street live that I want to do. I had some sesame street live stuff in my computer I am sure I can search again for some. I remembered I had a ton of photos in my old tower so I have that saved in my room. Ang told me that I can get someone to get them out thankfully.. I am not sure my tower has enough for my cameo I am also afraid that it will not work any way :(. I may have to get another tower anyway. I have lots of pages in progress that use my cameo.
dave told me before that you need to do a command on the computer to get it to open buut I thought he was wrong but angh said s he is right but he does not remember how to do it. plus i dropped my printer disk in the top one and it fell down a bit and I can't get it out and dave could not either so I am waiting for ang to come again.
I'm off today cuz I'm taking a class for work on Friday. The middle of the week break is good b/c I've got a few things to do and one is making a Thank you card.
Linda, sorry about your computer struggles. Hopefully things will get organized soon. Wishing that Dave feels stronger soon. Depending on his heart condition, he might qualify for cardiac rehab sessions. He can talk to his cardiologist about it. That might help build up some stamina.
Jess, Ice skating and scrapbooking sounds like the perfect day. I am more of a morning person myself now though at one time I'd have called myself a night owl. I loved working 2nd shift when I was younger.
I will tell Dave about t he cardiac rehab.
Snow day today - I applied to a few jobs and now I'm going to work on typing some pieces for my library display. I'll scrapbook a bit more later.
Me too, Linda. My job doesn't give snow days, I took it off because I couldn't get Lyft or Uber - they triple charged this morning and I can't justify that cost when it'll cost me more than what I make an hour and later on in the day, more than what I would make through the shift. The library closed, however.
One of the jobs responded that they are still in the receiving phase and if they want to continue on, they'll contact me. I'm hoping, but I'm also hoping for the SEO job. While they are not international companies, both jobs are professional enough that Canada recognizes them and I would be accepted for immigration.
Yeah, I'm still around. Getting sick and tired of the lousin' weather, too.
Still trying to do some scrapbooking, but something always creeps up to derail my 'good intentions'.
Work is doing well. Of course, my main project is the scrapbook for my client.
Canada will accept any job that is professional and requires a college or technical degree. Unfortunately, what I do now isn't professional.
I'm thinking of branching out to teach overseas after all. Things are hard again at home and mom is talking about them moving after dad retires. Dad is 9 years older, so mom would still be working. Dad doesn't want to move; I know she's talk, but I am feeling anxious about it all.
I think dave is feeling a bit better he gave me a shower yesterday..he has to wash my whole body pretty much. I was afraid of falling cause I almost did earlier but my son put up a huge bar that I can hang on to while I am in the shower or toilet..... I had fallen in the shower before..a few times but I have not recently thankfully... he then cut my hair too cause it had gotten so long. he had not given me a shower for a long time cause when he had cdiff it was very very contagious..my daughter told us that. he had it for over a month too... my daughter gave me showers when Dave was sick or in the hospital thankfully. she could not cut my hair cause her hands move a bit for some reason that I do not remember.
thank you my table is part way full. my desk is totally full cause I was looking for my printer/scanner manual. I had a huge stack of papers on one cube that I used to put the manual there sometimes so my hubby could find it easier but no luck I do have the paper that shows how to install the printer the disk though and the disk. I have to wait for my daughter to come over to install the disks for my cameo and printer. Dave did not remember how but said it needed a command from the computer to open and Ang says he is right. so I can't use my cameo or scanner until my daughter comes here.
I am not sure my computer will work well with my cameo. my old one worked fine. mine was very old. Daves is old but not nearly as old as mine was.

No scrapping but really do need to make a card today.
My next scrap date is set for March and doubt I'll do any at home.
Linda, Hope your DD is able to help you get everything loaded. Also glad that Dave is able to help you again.
Jess, Sorry that you are feeling unsettled. Hope you get it all figured out soon. How did the display of your Happiness Box go at the library?
The display goes up next Saturday and will stay up for the entirety of March. Still have some things to finish up.
They will never ease up, this has been going on since I was a baby... all I can do is remain positive that I'll get out of here sooner rather than later.
Took my first exam for this course and passed... yay me!
Did not make the card yet but did meet friends for dinner.
Linda, that'll be fun to use the font of the restaurant name on your LO.
some things are different on this tower plus it has windows 7 and it is pretty old too. I am happy to say that we are going to get a new tower thankully.
I got out my disk from my cameo and it is an instructional one so do I not need to download my machine?
Linda, you do not need the disc to install the software to your new computer but you do need a USB/thumb drive to transfer your previously purchased images to the new computer from your old.
This is my long 2 days so probably won't check in til Friday.
Oh the joys of living in an old house. This old house was built in the 20's and has very pretty architectural elements. Like a curved front door, high ceilings and a porch. But (you knew there was one) the ceilings are so bad, Somebody put in acoustic tiles and then blew popcorn stuff on it to make it look better (?). Well the stuff fell down after 90 years, so we had a hot mess and had to take the rest down. We plan to put up tin tiles. This all happened as I took off to see my 1st great grandson in Tacoma, Washington.
I did get some crafting done after I got back. I mainly finished another box, (IDK what I will do with it) but it is off my table. I am presently working on dragon eyes. Painted on clear glass cabochons. Why? I wanna.
I have never used a thumb drive I know there is a place on my cameo for it. ..I thought about buying one long ago but it seemed like there were many different sizes and dave gave me one he had but it did not fit either. this is a dumb question maybe...when I buy my new tower is there a place for a thumb drive in it?
Good Morning and TGIF! Waking up to snow here on this 1st of March! It is pretty though I would rather some sunshine.
Linda, a thumb drive probably fits in your old and new towers.
You can download the Cameo program to your new computer without it. You just need your username and password.
You need the USB/thumb drive to transfer your previously purchased and downloaded cut files from your old computer to your new.
The thumb drive (USB) is only one size to fit the computer and I'm sure your new and old one have them but there are different sizes as far as how much data they can hold.
I think a small one will work for transferring your cut files.
Southgirl, Congrats on your new GGB! Sorry on the ceiling coming down!
Eh! Today was one of my scheduled days off, with tomorrow (Saturday) being a work day. Did the weekly banking, got the taxes done (igh).
Oh no need to worry about my "This Old House" problems. I take them with a sense of humor.
I went shopping yesterday. Tuesday morning I got 3 new dies and a WRMK alphabet maker, At Hobby Lobby I got a foil die for my GoPress and Foil machine and another die. And 5 or 6 paper clips in the shape of a mermaid, an envelope (99cents), an arrow (99 cents) and etc. And some really pretty paper clips that are copper.
Spent the last couple of days on homework but last night got into my craft room to clean up and also made a couple of cards.
Funny how cleaning up can inspire you to create. I have a LO that I am gathering bits and pieces for and another couple of scraps that need a bg paper to call home.
Southgirl, remember the movie called, "The Money Pit"? It was about a couple that bought an old house... hysterical!
Morning, folks......I think. Guess I also have off tomorrow. In one way it's good; another, sorta bad. One good thing? The 'deep freeze' is due in tomorrow. Bad thing? Dent in the pay check. One day at a time, I guess.
Did some 'puttering' with a layout yesterday. It's about time!
I forgot that I bought some 3D embossing folders. They are so cute when embossed.
Sorry for the absence - I spent the past week and a half working on my Happiness Box Project display for the library and yesterday it went up without a hitch.
I took a few photos with my cellphone and one co-worker loved it, she can't wait to see it in person. I want to bring my DSLR some time this week and take better photos for a portfolio.
It'll feel weird not scrapbooking for a month and I put my Happiness Box in the display as well. I have a makeshift Happiness Box, an old box Nan gave me when I was a little girl. It's filled with "treasures" that I'll relocate.
Today was the last day of ice skating outdoors until November 2019. I bought a disposable camera and when the pictures are developed, I might create a special album dedicated to Winterfest's Finale. Today was a lot of fun.
Wahooo! Got a layout done! Got a semi decent shot of it, plus shots of the 3 Halloween layouts I'd finished. Maybe I'll be more inspired later?
Fingers crossed because feeling uninspired isn't a good feeling.
In my case, sometimes being 'uninspired' can be good. Makes me think a bit more....if I'm not too wiped out from work, that is.
Took an approximately 2 1/2 hour nap earlier, as I had to knock out a nasty case of impending vertigo. Got the pictures done, and they are now downloaded.
Have you ever tried Excedrin, Linda? Husband uses that if he thinks his headaches are going migraine strength.
No word yet on work. Am figuring I am off tomorrow, and maybe Wednesday; but who knows?
I had work today and delays on the train galore. But, I don't like summer. Sure, hope the situation changes soon.
I have been having writer's block, but I have to get back to finding new work. It's stressful and I wish I could get reprieve.
HSN has an all day craft sale today. I bought the Foil Quill by WRMK. Just sat and colored at my deck last night. Did a little rearranging too, I put all of my WRMK punch boards together on one small shelf.
Y'all those 3D embossing folders do really really pretty embossing.
Craft sales sound dangerous! LOL!
I dropped off my film yesterday and waiting for it to be developed. I'm going to plan an ice skating layout for the photos.
Went to Gluemore Night and got 3 LO's almost completed. Just need to add titles and some more embellishments b/c I did not bring my letters or many of my embellishment things.
Linda, glad you got the steps to get your files!
Jess, how fun waiting for photos and planning a LO with them in mind.
Southgirl, that foil pen had your name on it!
Sue, Did you end up working or scrapping?
Hope the vertigo passed. I am off this week for vacation cuz DH is off too. It's a staycation but hoping we'll get a few household things accomplished and maybe a day trip or 2.
Linda and Maria, I hope that you both feel better!
Shutterfly is offering me a free photo book and I'm going to make one. Years past, I thought it would be odd having specific scrapbooks of concerts or vacations and one of the photos in the Happiness Box scrapbook. However, I'm rethinking it: while I capture one special moment for each day in the Happiness Box, it's great to collect them, however, I would like to remember concerts and vacations and skating, so having a book of each with photos I can't place in the Happiness Box won't be counter-intuitive.
Now, I hope the film comes by next weekend! I know it takes a week or two for developing, depending on how fast the Walgreen's lab sends it out, but two years ago they failed to call me and I called three weeks later, it was done and I noticed it was done a week prior. I might have to call them by Friday... 12 days should be a sufficient amount of time.

I am worried about dave again he fell 3 times yesterday and today. ang came over caus e he could not get back up by himself. he fell in the bathroom a little while ago and could not get back up. ang was working so we called 911 to help him get up.. this has happened to him before but I can't remember why. he is very very sore.
I went to my monthly crop. I could not get inspired and that is one thing you just can't force.
I went to M's to get some alphabet stamps and they had all the clear stamps on BOGO half off. So that was fortuitous for me.
Going to work on my dragon eye, Have a small box that I will put the eye on the lid.
Linda, Dave is in my prayers. I hope he feels better soon.
thank you hon. I sure hope he comes home soon and that the power stays on.
I caught a cold, though it could be allergies. I'm calling it a night soon.
Glue, I have had Meniere's for some time, and never know when the heck the vertigo is going to crop up. I do keep a record of weather, how I am doing, etc. Old ENT retired, and the new guy pretty much cut my Antivert rx. Can you say one ticked off nurse?
Going into week 2 of being off, due to unforeseen circumstances. At least I did do some more work on layouts.
I have some vacation time to use up so DH and I have some time together as he is on vacation too.
Did go to crop on Friday and got 3 LO's mostly completed.
Linda, Sorry to hear about Dave and thankful that your DD and her BF are able to help you. Prayers for Dave and you.
Sue, bummer on not working but hope all fairs well for your client.
Southgirl, Crops are fun anyway, right? Just nice to be around friends and acquaintances with the same interests.
So true Glue. I just visited and watched videos on Youtube. But I felt like an under achiever. I had things I could do, Make cards. Play with mermaid stamps. Even color in my coloring book. I could have made dragon eyes. I just had an, "I don't wanna" day.
we need to make room for dave and his wheelchair. my son really needs the money he is making down there.
she asked him to buy a wheel chair today.
well my daughter came over before and after work. her boyfreind came over after work at 6 pm and stayed till almost midnight thankfully. my neice who always came daily when dave was in is out of town but she messaged me where she was and asked about dave. I asked her if they were on their way home.... I sure hope so cause it is not terribly far where they are. so I hope she is home soon. so she can come over. I feel so bad asking ang cause she has so much to do and lives far away. she has to visit dave too. there is a meeting tomorrow about his hospice ( heart failure) but I was worried but she ssaid it is his heart failure and he will probably be home. good news is my daughtder and her boyfreind are going to remove and arrange stuff in the spare room so they can put in a full bed for them to sleep while dave is recuouping. he will need help so she will do it. thankfully. we are probably going to get a home health care aid for our home too ang suggested a wheelchair for days when he is in back pain and weak.. not for all time. he always poo ppoed it and said I would not want a home aid either. dave called me back this evening and I suggested a wheelchair for the days he is in pain and cant stand and falls cause he has no stamina and is weak since his nursing home stay of a month.. good news.. he didd not poo poo it thankfully.... I said it was only for some days anyway. I also told him that we should get a home health care aid too...I said I thought it was a good idea and ang can't be everywhere.. I think since he heard mesay good and he did not poo poo it either. so ang told my son to pay for a wheelchair today... I used a wheelchair at the hospital the day he went in to move from the er to his room on a different floor. I sat in it all day too. I am glad I used it cause I would have had to hold on ang.. plus I would be scared of falling too there. thank god my daughter is a nurse aid she got mad at something at her old work so she quit and work at olive garden now as a server..
Linda, so happy that your dd and bf will be able to stay with you as Dave recuperates. Hope he is home soon.
Linda, sorry for your worries. Once the home care agency comes in maybe they can help you figure things out as far as services and equipment to help you and Dave continue to live independently and to stay at home. (((Hugs))) and prayers that Dave is home soon and the services can start.
I am glad that my neice is bringing me lunch this afternoon I have not seen her for awhile.. since hospitals are so slow he may not get home till this evening.
So glad Dave made it home Linda!
All is well here. Could not sleep the other night so putzed around with a couple of LO's. Would like to finish them up this weekend and since I'm in the volume challenge, curious to see what my count is at this point.
Linda, so glad Dave is home!
I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis and now on the mend. It is viral, so I am on an inhaler, cough suppressants, and Mucinex.
Linda, hope things are okay at home and that you and Dave got the help you needed.
Started packing for next weekend's crop. I want to bring a bunch of page kits so I don't have to bring a lot of stuff.
