I am getting BORED!!!

I am so bored! I keep thinking about all the things I need to be doing but they are all things that I need my laptop for! Grrr! I am waiting on pins and needles today for my new one to get here! My Nephew is getting married and I don't have his Fiance's gift made yet! And yes I need my computer to run my Klic-N-Kut to finish it! The shower is Wednesday so I don't think I will be able to get it finished just yet, will have to go to plan B!

What do you think of the new background? It just screams SPRING! I am so ready for the snow to go away! There is still a few feet in my front yard... North facing so it will be there for a little while longer. On the plus side I have fabulous Hostas that come up every year! I can't wait to see them!

Hope to be back on line full time soon! Until then...

I have a virus!!!

OK, so I haven't posted in a day or two as was pointed out to me by my good friend Stephanie... but I have a good reason, this time! My laptop has gotten ill, so ill in fact that it won't even boot up so I have been without access. My wonderful husband saw what distress I was in... or he was just tired of hearing me whine about it... so we went down to Staples to see what was available. Good news is that we bought a new laptop, bad news is that they had to order it in so here I sit waiting ... At least I can use my son's computer to blog but can I just say EEWWWWW! This area is a disaster and some little man is going to have some work to do when he gets home!! Not to mention that this thing isn't even that old and the keyboard has about had it! The space bar looks more like a teeter totter, I am not even kidding! Well at least it is still connected in the middle! Anyway, I should be getting my new laptop on Friday but then they have to keep it and the old one to transfer all my stuff over and clean up the old one. Then I have to deal with the Vista issue! I'm scared!!!! I hope all my stuff will work with it.

So if I don't post in the next few days that will be the reason! Until then.....

Finally! Some new files!

First I want to thank everyone who bought files from me on CAD! It was a huge success! I hope everyone enjoys the New Year's Border, if you didn't have a chance to download it on Monday don't worry it will be up in the store soon along with a companion file.

Good news is I have some new files in the store now, let me know what you think!

Make a Free Flash Slideshow

Not much else is going on around here just working and taking care of the family! I have a few new files in the works so hopefully I will get them out soon.

Have a Great Day!

I've decided to relocate!

Well, I've decided to give Blogspot a try! Hopefully it will be a little easier to keep up with!

Quick update on the family! Jake is now 12 years old and in 6th grade. He just finished wrestling for the year and just started band for the first time....now where did I put those ear plugs?


He has decided to give the Saxophone a try! I think that's a pretty cool instrument for him, if you know my son then you know that he loves to be the center of attention! When we got home with it of course he had to try it out. It was a lot harder than he thought it would be to get it to make a sound. Finally he comes running in to me and tells me "Mom I got it to make a noise, but I don't think you are going to like it!" Yeah! now where's the valium?

Elizabeth is 18 now and an adult (insert sarcastic voice here). She is in her Senior year of High School and working towards her CNA with plans of being a nurse. She is just lovely (sarcasm) and I hope she never moves out!


My husband had his appendix out at the first of the month... I will spare you the picture! We just had to get that pesky insurance deductable out of the way! LOL!
So that is what is going on on the home front.

For those of you who are looking for BarbWire Designs I will be adding some new files to the store soon! I have some fun Valentine files and of course in true Barb fashion I even have some New Years files coming, surely not everyone has scrapped their New Years pictures yet! Right?

If you know me then you know that if there is a super new, super fun tool out there that I am eventually going to get one, right! Well there is! KNK came out with their new machines (sheesh, I hope they don't do this every year!) I decided to go with the KNK MAXX 15"! Whoo Hoo! I am so excited to be able to design in 12x12 now! Check them out at Paperthreads. They are awesome! Please check in again soon, I will be posting pictures of my new designs as soon as I can get them test cut!
