~ Hello & Snags ~

   DsDesignsANewDayDawns.gif picture by 55hockeyfan


I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!  We did our celebrating yesterday.  It was a pretty low key cook out at my parents.  It did get warm enough to swim.  The food was good and the company was better.  My son couldn't make it as he worked until 7pm.  By the time he got home, showered, and got there it would be a bit late and he knew we'd all be ready to leave.  I can understand that perfectly, but I felt bad that he missed all the treats.  Soooooooooooo....... I did cook out to go.  I fixed salads, chicken, desserts, and dropped it off on my way home.  He lit up when he opened the door.  Thrilled me to see him so excited and happy. 

 

LMAO!  I'd like to take a moment and thank Brain for letting me know exactly how many entries I did in August.  Yeap, a few.  :)~   On average about 2 a day.  Take out my vacation collages and tag requests and it gets cut in half.  Dunno... ya all want me to cut back?  Seems Brain does.......   and no doubt I can come up with one more person.   ROFL  Going by my alerts I post pretty much the same as some.. a lot less then others.  Ya don't think I will cut out the parts about my fake life do ya?  Naaah you know better! 

 

Two of the snags are work of Jody Bergsma.  Before I get questioned on whether or not I can use it without a license, I will say, yes I can.  See her page for details. 

 

Ok, I'm really bored with this entry... so I know you are.  Guess I just got a bit crabby and sarcastic.....  Have a great day!

 

Hugs

Well, here I go again .... it's your danged journal ... do what YOU want.  If someone feels they get too many alerts, they can always turn it off and put your link in favorites ... for crying out loud.

Okay, enough of crabby from me.  I've been working all day on getting the scrap booking inventory straightened out -- it ain't fun.  LOL  :)

Love the snags!
Glad you had a nice celebration yesterday!  :)
I have only been doing 3 entries a week this year, but only because I can't seem to keep up to it since I got cancer. Plus I have several journals to try & write a little something in.
I think you do a wonderful job, I may not always comment...but I see each alert & read it.
Hugs,
Sugar

I'm glad your son didn't miss out entirely and you are such a good mom to do that for him.  You have been busy journaling that is for sure, and I have seen your name constantly on the journal home page as one, if not the most, commented journals.  : )

Write away, while remebering that this is your journal and you are the one that controls the amounts of entries and what goes in them! For me, it's like reading the pages from a book, of an interesting person who has chosen to share parts of her life that is real, whom has an awsome spirit to back it! Hope your tomorrow brings you many reasons to smile! Take care and enjoy!

You write all you want! I love seeing you pop up in my bloglines because I don't know what beautiful thing you are gifting us with.... and you never cease to amaze me.

That is sooo cool about Jody Bergsma. I actually have a couple of her prints on bookmarks, but I didn't realize that was who she was till I went to her sight. I LOVE her stuff!! I bookmarked her. Maybe things will slow down here enough I could play with some of her stuff <LOL>

Well it's not like you are posting 2 entries a day of CRAP!

HA!

We didn't celebrate Labor Day, we labored!  Bill painted and built some wood storage units for Ciara's room and I cleaned the house, several times.  Can we say LOSER?  LOL  I just can't go to bed with anything out of place and one of our rooms is completely torn apart....yup an all nighter is in my future!

Toodles!

Who's Brian?
Dont listen to him...you know some of us love you like family and want and need to hear from you as many times a day as you want to write. I just noticed this weekend that probably 95% of my alerts are from PRIVATE journals....it is sometimes a risk to stay public in J Land-SAD.
love you bunches,lj

I love your entries and I can't wait for your favourite 'sport season' to begin again.   I was beginning to tune into it and then it all stopped! .  I so loved your commentaries.  They were expertly and cleverly written by an obvious 'Fanatic'.  Lol!  
Love your tags too...
