So, here on my blog I am trying to keep it real.  For instance I posted my tutorial this morning, looked around, now what?  I don’t feel like cleaning house, it is raining outside, dogs a bath, nope.  Hmmm, what to do . . . . . . . .  Well I stayed at my desk and created another card today.  I should have cleaned house!  I truly love the image I used as it appears on this Viva Las Vegastamps stamp, but when I colored it and then took a photo of it, well the shadows on her back look like she has the hairest back you have ever seen, lol.   I decided not to post the tutorial for this hairy backed women.  I think I’ll go do dishes. . . . . .. . . . . 

Hey we got to laugh at ourselves sometimes!

May your back never look like this!

Until my next post. . . . . . .

Much Love,

Michelle

Hi Everyone, The Blog Site Administrators have been working to move the Splitcoaststampers Blogs from one server to another.  There has been some difficulty with this task so our blogs are a little bit wonky today.  I’m going to leave my blog alone today and work in my gardens.   That is my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

Hope your day is filled with Sunshine and flowers also.

Hugs,

Michelle

Good morning, good morning, good morning!  Today is starting off much better for me today.  My Internet is now working correctly again.  Shesh, you just don’t know how much you use something until it doesn’t work anymore.

I wanted to thank all of you that sent me inquiries regarding my dogs health via e-mails and comments.  They got a trip to the vet yesterday and we discovered they had picked up a virus from talking through the fence to the other dogs in the area.  We live in the country where there are a lot of farm dogs that are not fenced in like ours.   My pups are now on eye drops 4 times a day and they also get a big hunk of cheese with a pill hidden inside before bed.  🙂

Anyway, back to the regular program, we have a BLOG CANDY WINNER, drumroll please. . . . .  .. . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .  . .

 It is Tamara, who wrote “This is a great stamp set. I am also a big fan of tree images because they are so versatile”

Congratulations Tamara, please e-mail your address to mzindorf@aim.com and I will get these in the mail to you.

I do want to apoligize to the readers that had trouble trying to enter.  My link was bad and I found out to late to fix it before it was delivered into your e-mail boxes.   I am very, very human and these things are going to happen, bare with me.  I will put up more Blog candy toward the end of the week. 🙂

  Here is a link to my tutorial using the Blog Candy set:  http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2008/11/30/snow-covered-trees-tutorial-153/

Okay, now I am going to do some stamping.  I will be back again this afternoon to post my a new tutorial. 

Have a super pleasant morning.

Until my next post. . . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle
