I know I haven't been updating. This darn blizzard, then another major snowstorm had me kinda bummed and bored so I had no energy to do anything creative or exciting. I'm sorry for not wishing you a very Merry Christmas, but I hope you had one anyway.

My wish for 2007 is for PEACE...PEACE...PEACE!!! I'm so tired of violence and war. Without peace no matter what our achievements are, we could lose it all in the blink of an eye. So pray and meditate for PEACE in 2007!

Have fun at the party but drive safe, drink responsibly. Don't mix drinking and driving!

Yay!! No school, no work...it's a huge blizzard! We can't even see across the street. It's already dumped 2 feet of snow and more is on the way. Pictures are HERE. It's BAD. If the power stays on and I don't lose the internet it will be okay, but I feel sorry for the folks stranded at the airport. It's Christmas Time!! Poor folks. Anyhow, i'm off to drink some coffee to get warm before I shovel a path for my dogs to get out to the yard. Enjoy your day!

Happy Hanukkah!

Enjoy your season festivities this weekend. My daughter is going to a Hanukkah party Saturday night. I can't wait for her to tell me all about it. If you're going to attend any parties this weekend please share the fun occasion with me!

While scouting around for Poser items I happened upon a few freebie links I thought you might enjoy:

Francemi's Freebies for great backgrounds for your renders!
Colius and FoliFoli More really great freebies.
The Palace Poser Wonderland for FABULOUS free backgrounds for renders.
Poser Evolution for more free photo backgrounds for rendering purposes.

Enjoy!

P.S. Hanukkah bear tube is from Outlaw by Design.

Never in my life have I searched all over town to buy Christmas lights. For some unknown reason I got it in my head that I wanted to decorate my house in blue lights. On Saturday I saw plenty of blue lights at Walmart and picked up a couple of boxes. Saturday night I realized that we needed more. Sunday we went back to Walmart for blue lights. They were sold out! That just could not be! I coaxed hubby into searching for the elusive blue lights. He went to Target, Walgreens, another Walmart, and the grocery store. No blue lights!! Plenty of multi-colored, clear, and red lights but no blue ones. Now, at this point most people would have given up since we had plenty of clear lights and multi-colored lights sitting in a box...but nooooooo. I want BLUE LIGHTS!! On Monday hubby went to another Walmart out by where he works. Still no lights. When he got home from work I dragged him back out to not one, but TWO hobby stores. Guess what?? No BLUE LIGHTS. We arrived home and I looked at my partially finished decorations and decided that maybe I could live without the blue lights and mix white lights with the blue. I pondered that thought and went to bed.

The next day I went back to Walmart to look for, yes you guessed it...some dang BLUE LIGHTS!! But this time I saw two boxes of netted blue lights! Not exactly what I was looking for, but hey, they're BLUE!! I grabbed one box and headed home. I begged hubby to put up the blue lights but he wanted to wait until the next day when their would be light outside. Oh no, he said wait?! I grabbed the step stool and went outside to hang the blue lights myself. Of course hubby came out to make sure I didn't break my fool neck. We hung the netted blue lights. It looked great except for one thing. We needed one more package of netted blue lights because it didn't cover the whole bush! Okay, by now you're thinking this woman is obsessed with blue lights...and you would be right. I jumped in the car raced back to Walmart quietly praying they still had that ONE box of BLUE lights!! With a look of sheer desperation I raced my cart to the Christmas department. Lo and behold I found that last box of blue lights still in its slightly opened box. Hallelujah!!! I was too tired last night to see if they would give the look i'm striving for, and decided i'll hang them up later today. If this doesn't do it I believe that my husband will have me committed. Pray for me.

Once the sun has set and the moon begins to glow
Fairies come out to play in the winter snow.
Some are dressed up so warm in their winter clothes
Others, running about dancing on their toes.
Look at that one cried a snowman their trying to make
Whilst others decide to ice skate upon the frozen lake.
Now as it reaches midnight the snow begins to fall
All the fairies decided to dress up and have a winter ball...

I'm still working on the site behind the scenes. With the holidays fast approaching and many other things going on in my life i've been busier than anticpated and my blogging hasn't quite got off the ground. What i'm working on are handmade Xmas cards done using Poser, plus shopping for the family.

Here's one image i'm working on for a Xmas card design: You can see it full size by clicking HERE.

I hope that you're having a great season so far and perhaps you're lucky enough to have all of your shopping done already?

Enjoy your day!

This is a joke my hubby sent in an email. I think it's kinda funny: Have a happy Tuesday. Oh by the way. I wasn't expecting that ending on Heroes last night. Why do we have to wait until January 22nd to find out what happens next?! Just when it starts to get really intriguing!
