Why?? Didn't want to share my gloom I guess.9-19-2021<div>Wow- has it really been 2 years since I posted in here? Between covid & personal stuff life is hell most of the time. I've had family (and friends that are family) that have been a big help through this rough patch. One day I hope things get back to normal. Mike & I are okay though- no covid at my house yet. Some of the family has had it, but mostly mild cases that I know of.<div><br /></div><div>We had a new addition to our family in Feb- Riley- son of David & Deborah! It's so sweet to watch a little one grow & learn new things again. I miss those days with the other grands. But Ri adds to those memories. Riley was 7 months old on the 18th. He is such a happy baby!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNA6e1KaNVjBw4AVam9VN1vp-dvEpry3MgJiDO_wyuin14Q7Cno4DkSroE9fpRREIIr4OD3FAK8PU3-7YKCjxRiNixPswtZaH_hEaz0sDhJNY9aTrJ-b9xkuOBMrGw9iwgwSfhryQCQc6f/s2000/153553317_126423576059235_5424653402572862133_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1488" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNA6e1KaNVjBw4AVam9VN1vp-dvEpry3MgJiDO_wyuin14Q7Cno4DkSroE9fpRREIIr4OD3FAK8PU3-7YKCjxRiNixPswtZaH_hEaz0sDhJNY9aTrJ-b9xkuOBMrGw9iwgwSfhryQCQc6f/s320/153553317_126423576059235_5424653402572862133_n.jpg" width="238" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5QkIe86mDHjDz4Dt0kp9nWIAvcVAW3LkZ1A4cZSm9gjGiaEPSCgy7k2j3ZhyiCb4yL1QEGjoMWQDkzOJTlldUhf2r4RHJJz7ZtU0HYqb6sAOI7QOn1Obhfc7ChvHi00I24pTYuntvFKzk/s1447/216902609_575722377144337_733446705729750862_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1447" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5QkIe86mDHjDz4Dt0kp9nWIAvcVAW3LkZ1A4cZSm9gjGiaEPSCgy7k2j3ZhyiCb4yL1QEGjoMWQDkzOJTlldUhf2r4RHJJz7ZtU0HYqb6sAOI7QOn1Obhfc7ChvHi00I24pTYuntvFKzk/s320/216902609_575722377144337_733446705729750862_n.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1BMuL-8-NND0z8-GR9omFjlHk56YhezuxRXtsg58QETSUHFPWIy79fybAxU_5yCZND6zZ4Z_-ZZFrlockNHg-dwAV-ruy9GVNGsm3lDnbJzXt8j_AyWyL9DoUYNRGEmKuoUK-bnJrXNvP/s1480/238274486_589339155782659_5576849325446452030_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1480" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1BMuL-8-NND0z8-GR9omFjlHk56YhezuxRXtsg58QETSUHFPWIy79fybAxU_5yCZND6zZ4Z_-ZZFrlockNHg-dwAV-ruy9GVNGsm3lDnbJzXt8j_AyWyL9DoUYNRGEmKuoUK-bnJrXNvP/s320/238274486_589339155782659_5576849325446452030_n.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We also added another member or two- my dog Lexi.

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">AND A NEW FRONT YARD!!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Welcome to 2019. 👋 It is March now & we have started working on the front yard. Mike, our family & friends, and me, of course, are slowly working on it. Age is not on our side when it comes to yard work. I have had to make a few changes due to physical limitations, money (hahaaaaa), & practical reasons. <br /><br />We have to use the layout of the design provided by the former landscape company, as that is how the sprinkler installer installed the system. But we are adjusting it to what we have on hand & what we think we will like. I liked the basic layout, so no complaints about that, but a lot of adaptions will be done. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Here is the original version & the version I modified. I admit- it was kind of satisfying to make these changes. </span></span><br />

I have been taking pics since we started planning this. The good, the bad, & the ugly!!! LOL And some are really ugly. I have been researching plants & how to do this or that, and how to do things on a shoestring budget. A lot of things we have around here, we don't need new. Recycle & reuse. 😸 I will add the pics later when I don't need to be outside with my sunburned ears. 👂 And only one accident so far, I tripped over something & landed on the beautiful granite? blocks we have. I got a really pretty bruise on my leg. The hard part was getting off the ground!! 😅<br /><br />Now also keep in mind- we are NOT professionals. 👷 And we don/t have many of these,💪so I am slow.<br /><br />I wanted to let anyone who is interested in this *adventure* know that we have started, and we are not defeated by the previous plans for the yard we thought we had.<br /><br />Coming soon.... pics &amp more fun!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: blue;">I had to sit on this email from <a href="https://lawnscapesvirtualdesigns.com/" target="_blank">LawnScapes Virtual Designs</a> for </span><span style="color: blue;">a while, to get myself past the anger, & also decide what to do about this. I have to decide what is best for me emotionally. We all have to pick our battles.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;"><br />Below is an email I received from the owner of<a href="https://www.facebook.com/lawnscapesvirtualdesigns/" target="_blank"> LawnScapes Virtual Designs</a>. I am going to say that I am so disappointed in this person. I had so much faith in her, I told everyone that I believed she would do it when everyone else said she wouldn't. I had convinced myself that she really would do what she could, and she has proved me wrong.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">in the<span style="font-family: inherit;"> form of an FB message. I have said that </span>as a </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">business </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">making claims against me that are not true, and generally making </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">perhaps a bit too trusting. But I cannot let this get to me </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">anymore. I </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">do not have an illness that I can claim that the </span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">actually </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">more </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">frustrating. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have decided it </span>just isn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> worth the time, emotions or the </span></span><br />

Hi My friends!<br />
<div>
<br />
This is a post I have dreaded making, as neither my husband nor me, are the type to be vengeful. I am not sure that vengeful is the correct word. However, we do expect companies to honor their commitments, and we will not be taken advantage of. If you have been following my history with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lawnscapesvirtualdesigns/" target="_blank">Lawnscapes Virtual Designs FB Page</a> or <a href="https://lawnscapesvirtualdesigns.com/" target="_blank">Lawnscapes Virtual Designs Website</a>, you already know our history. If you do not, you can start here... <a href="https://robinsthings.blogspot.com/2017/" target="_blank">Robins Things</a> & then click on newer posts. I have tried to keep everything in order of date. And I am sorry this is so long, but I want to share the info I have.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
SO NOW~ FOR THE LATEST UPDATE~<br />
Today is 8-12-2018 at appr 9 am, I am trying to get my thoughts, records, & feelings together as I write this. I personally feel very betrayed & hurt by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lawnscapesvirtualdesigns/" target="_blank">Lawnscapes Virtual Designs</a> & its owner. As you can tell I have been patient.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">LVD will be used as an abbreviation of the business name as I hate typing. </span><br />
<br />
Many people have said "sue", that has never been an answer for my husband & I, but as they say, there is a first time for everything. I have apparently been blocked from <span style="background-color: white;">LVD </span>FB messaging, possibly their <span style="background-color: white;">LVD </span>page, and the owners personal FB page. All I want is for this company to honor its commitments & actually, do what is on my wishlist. If they cannot or do not wish to do that, I will have my lawyer get involved. Here is the link to that list... <a href="https://robinsthings.blogspot.com/2017/03/" target="_blank">Robins Landscape Wish List</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
So- here is a copy of the messages via <span style="background-color: white;">LVD </span>FB Messaging starting on Feb 6, 2018 until today 8/12/2018.</div>

<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">Thanks for messaging us. We try to be as responsive as possible. We'll get back to you soon. You can also call or text 334-791-2883!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">Thank You,</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">I understand your frustration and disappointment, your yard has been on my mind every day, because it’s not like me to not be able to full fill a promise. <span style="background-color: magenta;">I hope this too doesn’t go public but here’s the truth in the matter, it has been a horrible year for the business and me personally and I am trying my best to regroup and make things better, every time it seems as though things would be better so I could have the money available in the business to take care of yours, it wasn’t.</span> It has nothing to do with location or it being free, I care about every one and their yard.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">Your absolutely right, I am very sorry about the way in which this has been handled and embarrassed. I haven’t installed one in four months now but yours will absolutely be the second one done if you will let us</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">I’m sorry I’ve let you down</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">I wish you were my friend so that I could explain the personal side of the situation</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: magenta; color: magenta;">There are days it’s difficult to even get out of bed</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">But I’m trying to take the blows as best i can</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">I do feel like a failure and I hate i failed with someone as nice as you</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">That’s the heart of the situation</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></div>

Hi Wendy. I am sorry that I have added to your winter blues & business owner problems. I have been in both situations. </div>
<div>
<i><b style="background-color: white;">(OOPS-I PRESSED THE SEND BUTTON TO EARLY)</b></i></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">Thanks for messaging us. We try to be as responsive as possible. We'll get back to you soon. You can also call or text 334-791-2883!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">Thank You,</span></div>
<div>

I am not going to pretend that I haven't been disappointed- but I AM looking forward to when you make the disappointment spectacular. Yes, I still would LOVE for you to do whatever you can do. Please- only do what you can afford to do. I know that you don't know me personally, but you could have shared the truth. The truth I can understand. AND YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!!! Just know that, and continue to follow your dreams. This is the type of business I would have loved to do, but only when I was much younger. LOL</div>
<div>
The reason I put it on my blog is that no one reads it. LOL I didn't want to make you feel bad, but I did feel that I needed to say something, or I would be hurting myself. I don't know if that makes any sense to you, it is hard for me to put it in words. I have been working on standing up for myself. The last few years I have learned that I haven't had to really do much of that before, so I am learning now.</div>
<div>
Please know that I am looking forward to meeting you in the flesh, & I will try to scrounge up some help when you are ready. And I do not need to share why this has taken so long. hey- you been busy- even if you are watching TV like I do.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">Thank You Robyn, you don’t know how much that means to me! I would love it, if you could, for your help getting ready for the Home and Garden Show, I have so much to do and having a hard time getting motivated, and I have to have a paying gig before I can get yours done. Would you like to hang out with us some at our booth?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">And you did an awesome job standing up I admire that in women...I think you would be an asset to our team of big hearted, should be retired but too talented to and besides we have a cute office group of two women, who really volunteer a lot of time and sometimes get paid, lol</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">At least check come visit!!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta;">Sorry, leave out the check</span></div>

Wendy- I am sending a few photos via email (I hope) to explain the areas we discussed. Also- our irrigation friend would like to know what the approximate distance will be for the walkway & garden bed. And what do we do with the plants that are in the beds? And what do we need to do on our end besides looking for sod? Thanks, I am still excited!!!</div>

<span style="color: magenta;">Hi Robin! I’m sorry I had to take a week off to be with my daughter, it has put me a week behind on schedule. I will read everything you sent and get you an answer tomorrow evening as well as a new install date which will be about a week away. Sorry for the inconvenience but she needed me to be with her. Have a great night and I will be in touch with all the information.</span></div>
<div>
JUN 28TH, 12:10PM</div>
<div>
Hi. I hope your daughter is doing better. I wish we had known before the last minute. I have asked to please keep in touch with us, & let us know of any changes. We are adaptable if we just know.</div>
<div>
The watering system has been installed, we did the best we could with the info we had. At least we have water now. </div>
<div>
Did you receive the pics I sent via email?</div>
<div>
We still need an order date for the sod, we are having it delivered & they asked for a couple of days advanced notice, & when the new install date will be. I can't remember what else, hopefully all the info I needed to know is in the messages/ phone calls/ email I have sent.</div>
<div>
Thanks Wendy.</div>
<div>
PS- I am still just as excited now as I was when I was chosen way back when.</div>

HI again. I looked over the estimate again & realized there is no materials for the water garden. Are you planning to reuse the stuff we have? That is fine, but I am not sure if you realized that we have 2 smaller ponds that did have a bridge over it to look like one larger pond. I did send a pic in the email.</div>
<div>
Looking forward to hearing something from you. Should we water this sand??? LOL</div>

Dear Landscapes Virtual Designs- I am not going away. My personal belief is you do not give someone a prize & not honor it. Very poor management!</div>
<div>
However, I am going to be more verbal & aggressive in my un-promotion of your company. I see on your FB page I am not the only one that does not get replies via phone, messaging or any method. I believe I have gone above & beyond being patient with you. We have installed the watering system at our expense for your landscape plans as you suggested. We located sod as you proposed, again to be at our expense. When I refer back to my original entry to this contest, nothing that I asked for is included in your plan, except pretty. The plan you sent is beautiful, but as I stated safety is my concern, and it still is 1 1/2 years later after I won. At this point I was willing to settle for anything!! I had such high hopes & so far have had nothing but major disappointment in your company.</div>
<div>
So I am forced to publicly let the Wiregrass know about my very poor experience with Lawnscapes Virtual Designs & the other yard companies you have.</div>
<div>
And yet, I feel guilty doing this, which I shouldn't given all that I have done to cooperate & try to get this done.</div>

This is a message I left on the<span style="background-color: white;"> LVD</span> FB page on Aug 9th. I am not good at typing, as I somehow kept deleting my message. I did send a copy of this clip in a post, so I am glad I took a snip of the comment before posting. However, I did get a reply that said all messages need to be approved. I don't think it was approved. </div>
<div>

<div>
At our meeting on the 6th, we (Mike & I) met at Wendy's convenience at <span style="background-color: white;">LVD</span> office in Dothan, which was fine. We discussed the plan Wendy had sent me, and a start date. I was excited because the start date was schedule for June 25th, my birthday. I voiced my concerns again about a safe way to get to the front door, plants blocking the light, grass, & water garden safety.</div>
<div>
These were the <span style="background-color: white;">LVD </span>owners' replies.</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>safety to the front door- It isn't in the budget</li>
<li>plants blocking the light- She changed the plant selections</li>
<li>grass- it isn't in the budget, and suggested we both find sources of sod at the best price since this would be at our expense. We did this, and found a place to deliver it closer to us. She also stated that she had employes that could lay it, again at our expense, since that wasn't in the budget. We agreed to that as we thought it was a reasonable price for laying sod. She also recommended a watering system, which we had thought we would need to do, again at our expense since it wasn't in the budget. We were not surprised by the watering system, we knew we would have some additional expense, as $2500 does not go very far. After many attempts to contact LVD we had the water system installed as best we could tall from the design picture. And as you can tell I never received a reply as to when to order the sod.</li>
<li>water garden safety- She could not figure out an attractive way to help with this issue. I had the same issue & I thought a professional could. I guess not. :(</li>

I admit, at this point, I would have agreed to anything, and I really didn't think about what wasn't in this plan. I did voice my concern about azaleas, they aren't my favorites, but <span style="background-color: white;">LVD assured me they would be pretty & bloom more often than the old-fashioned ones.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">I also did not go over the cost estimate until a few days later when I realized there was no expense added in the estimate for the prettier water garden. A mistake on my part, I have never dealt with a landscaper before. And I still had trust in </span><span style="background-color: white;">LVD.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> I sent a message about this & again received no reply.</span></div>

And so- it is time to be more aggressive, stand up for myself, & get this blog in the public's eyes, especially in locations close to me. And it is time to have our lawyer look this over & recommend where we go from here. We are not vengeful (did I say that already?), I never wanted to hurt LVD. At the same time, I will not be taken advantage of.<br />
<br />
Thanks to anyone who has taken your time to read this mess, message me, or defend us. I hate that it has come to this. If you want to share, feel free, if you don't that is okay with me.<br />

Y'all have a wonderful day!!!</div>

Hi. this is Robin Rakes. I would like to know when you will be able to do the makeover. The pictures are no longer current, as it has been 5 months since I won. We have waited the entire summer, and nothing has been mentioned, other than a nice woman came & took pics of our disaster zone. Just tell us if you are not able to help us. Robin<o:p></o:p></div>

Hi I'm very sorry it has been so long, we normally do our free designs at the end of the season, we just hoped we could get yours in sooner, the designs we give away are good for install up to one year from the time they are won. Again, I'm sorry but it has been extremely busy.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello. We don't mind waiting, but we wish we had known that it wouldn't be done as soon as we thought. We understand that you have been busy, which is a very good thing for your business. When I hear nothing from your business though, I get concerned. Plus we had asked for the plan so we could do some of the prep work if possible. We know $$ doesn't go as far as we wish it would, so we had hoped to do some of the easier stuff so the $$ can go to the design & things we can't handle.<br />
Thank you for getting back to us, I feel better. Maybe I will pull a weed or two. Heeheee<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #7030a0; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">My intention is not to badmouth LawnScapes Virtual Designs or the owners.

<span style="color: #7030a0; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> We expected to have a landscape makeover within a reasonable amount of time. We wanted to save what money we could spare for a professional. Also, neither my husband nor I can physically do it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #7030a0; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />For my birthday in June, I received some adorable yard ornaments for when we received our yard makeover. They are still in the gift bag. For Christmas I again received some adorable yard ornaments for our lawn makeover, which I am in serious concern we will receive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #7030a0; line-height: 107%;"><br />I believe the owner & I could be really great friends, as we seem to have a lot in common. However, as a company owner, the communication & follow through is lacking. I don’t know if this is due to the fact that we are not *paying* customers, or maybe it’s because we live in the country on a dirt road and there is not as much visual advertising opportunity as a residential area. Our home is not visible from the dirt road. However, there is plenty of public advertising online, in media, etc., and I will use this if needed. <br />
<br />I have had many, many people tell me that they would not tolerate this, that I should do something, and in honesty, it has become somewhat of a joke among my family & close friends that this makeover will happen. Besides the fact, I found out on Aug 29<sup>th</sup> that LawnScapes Virtual Designs usually does the makeovers in the off-season, & they have a full year to do it, &</span> <span style="color: #7030a0; line-height: 107%;">I cannot be ugly until I have to. So they still have a few months. It takes a lot for me to be aggressive, as that is not my nature. I try to be understanding, and I realize that the summer is this company’s busy season. At the same time, I expect a company to communicate & honor its commitments. As you can tell I am the one that has had to contact them most of the time.<br />
<br />I hope the time doesn’t come that I have to get ugly, but I am not a pushover either. I don’t think my requests for the yard makeover are too much, as I am basically leaving the design in the hands of the company designers.</span></span></div>

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/lawnscapesvirtualdesigns/">(20) LawnScapes Virtual Designs</a>: <span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hi. I hope this is what you meant by a message. We had a </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">beautiful yard- once upon a time. Time, age, a car accident w/disabilities, dogs, and a BIG tree have ruined it. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">My dream is to have a low maintenance yard... with grass, & a sidewalk that would be safe for handicapped people & my husband to get to our front door. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am embarrassed by these pics- we haven't done much all winter. As you can see we have sand instead of grass, my pitiful water garden</span></span>,<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;"> *</span>noone<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">* who broke my fountain, a pondless waterfall that never was completed, rocks under the weeds, an attempt at flowerbeds, & our horrible rock sidewalks. As you can see in one picture we do have grass on the other side of our muddy driveway. We cut down the large pear tree that was providing to much shade, and I understand it would have died soon anyway. I LOVE trees, so that hurt. Further out we have an above ground swimming pool which our family loves. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi. Here is my August Monthly Entry to <a href="http://www.silhouettechallenges.com/" target="_blank">Silhouette Challenge</a>. I like challenges, they encourage me to keep having fun & playing with my Silhouette. I usually do more than one thing in a month, but I really don't want to enter for every time I use my Sil Cameo. I use it more than I would have thought. And I am getting better using it, my daughter in law commented on that & it makes me feel good. I'm improving!!! Woo Hoo!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Somebody has a birthday, and this is the t-shirt I made. as usual, it had a learning curve. My first cut was too small for a shirt, LOL you couldn't read it unless you were close, like really close. But it can be used for something else, so no big loss.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">And I also did this cup- (pic coming)... I really tried to figure out the curve thing, but it is over my head! These were gifts for others to give, but I love creating so I have fun. Any reason to ignore housework. Not that I do much of it anymore.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I also did my latest Kindle cover. I didn't have any of the correct vinyl, so my friend D gave me this special type of vinyl. It is unlike any I have used before & what a torture to weed. But I love the way it turned out. </span><br />

My July <a href="http://www.silhouettechallenges.com/" target="_blank">Silhouette Challenge</a>- I used my silhouette to create the stencils needed for the words & stars. It was fun. This is my first challenge, so I hope I can get it right. :D I also cut the banner using my Sil.<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">If you have followed me long you KNOW I love challenges. When my favorite digi scrap site closed, & because I do more projects using my Silhouette Cameo Cutter than scrapping, I gave up on them. Then I discovered there are a few Cutting Challenges. I decided to follow two of them, thats all I can handle if I can even do that. LOL Their blinkies are in the right column. So if you have a cutting machine come join in! I will post my projects here when I get then done. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am also curious- anyone else having the Christmas blahs? I haven't done anything, & the thoughts of dragging my Christmas tree & decorations out are overwhelming. I did pick up a few things yesterday. I got some adorable Christmas stocking holders from the Dollar Tree!! Of course I will spruce them up some... just because I can. And I about drove poor Kelsey crazy that she should buy a extra one in case Lil AngelGirl comes before Christmas, wouldn't want her to feel left out!!! I even got on the cashiers nerves about it & she said "Gramma- go get one just in case". And since I always do as I'm told... Bwahahahaaaa, I did. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Time to get busy creating something. Actually- I am working on a owl mobile for new baby girl. Oh- and here is a picture of the babes name. Haven't added the final touches until it gets hung up. I also will be adding a tree in the nursery, hopefully I will finish the few projects I have started & then it will be tree time! :D</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Time flies way to fast for this pokey person!! Especially when you think I have had an uneventful week (from what I remember). My GF & I got Bella & her GD together yesterday & took them to McD's, a store, & then the Geneva park. They had so much fun!! Bella ate great @ McD's also. Dummy me forgot to take pics.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I also had this thought that since I have 2 laptops, I am going to set one up for just my social stuff, & the BIG laptop for all the comp crafting I do. The only problem is I see stuff I want to DL while roaming, but I am on the wrong LT. So I am hoping my son can *network* (is that the right word) them together so I can DL from one LT to the other. I think this can be done. Not sure I am going to like this though- we will see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I finally got my replacement Silhouette Cameo this week!! I am so far behind on what I had hoped to craft, due to this delay. And I want to do some digi scrapping again. I don't think Kels will get her fall scarecrow. :( But I will do the owl for her eventually!</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I am going to do a white tree in vinyl for the new babies nursery. I hope it goes easy, Ive never done anything like this before. My vinyl experiences have not been the best for me so far. If it fails, I can pull out the paintbrush, but putting white over purple can be quite a chore. I am also doing the babies name in 3D paper initials. I hope to finish those today.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">My other two grandangels are doing great. Bella is getting some therapy for speech & other fun stuff, due to her delays from the hearing issues she had. You can tell she hears know cus she is always singing & dancing & jabbering at 4. We don't always understand what she says, but that's where therapy will help. And she still gets her message across one way or another. Bailey is a live wire & as cute as they come. She is so funny at 2. Kelsey & I are going to make some advent calendars for them when we get it together. LOL</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Mike is... Mike. Not the old Mike though. He stays in so much pain & that damned never go away headache is kicking his butt. And to say that is saying a lot. He tries to stay active, but anything he tackles takes a long time for him to do it. Instead of days, its weeks or months to finish something. I think we have about reached the point of there isn't much else the Drs. can do for him. :(</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br />Mikes brother is sick & in the hospital, I wish Mike could go visit him for awhile. You can tell these two are from the same Momma, they are so much alike. And there is an issue with a loved one on my side.This guy is extra special to me, & his family is to. I pray everything works out, I know it will, it always does, just the way it is meant to. It may not always be the choice you may have made, but it is Gods. Please send prayers for both of them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Also add a friend of mine & her family, whom I met when she asked about Mike when he had his accident &, has kept up since then, then her son had a car accident & also had the same neck break & Brain Injuries. He has to have another brain surgery, poor guy. I wasn't sure that I thought Mikes original Dr's had the right idea when they didn't do surgeries & adapted the wait & see approach, now I know that that was the right thing to do in his case. I see all that this young man has had to go through, & now it turns out most of his issues seem to be from original surgery that their new Dr says wasn't necessary. Dr's are human & I do think they do what they think is best at the time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">I cant think of much else to share- I don't think I even have new pics! Now that is bad. Have a great weekend. :D Oh- and I did a spell check. LOL</span><br />

Hi Yall!!! Long tome since I have added a post. Not sure why- lazy I guess. I was surprised to see comments that needed to be approved. And I really got a giggle out of the one about my spelling, & grammar also, I assume. I write just like I talk, so I have been told many times. And spelling? Well, I never typed a word in my life until the Internet, so if I misspell or mis-type- who cares! I am not out for any awards or anything. This blog started out & probably always will be a way to share ME, & my life.<br />
<br />
On with the show....<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCOsd1EsPDYSfC4N6ryY9Uky8hp_lbfgKFGVjc8TWMOODzRwR35ygJd-a300SZg5iFp5OizuqguMuDVn4OTNm77bL53Vf24XL3qm83joBMporvIZx9ZQFeJXbWiW36AzNO8JTqrOwLc5QH/s1600/SAM_0625.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCOsd1EsPDYSfC4N6ryY9Uky8hp_lbfgKFGVjc8TWMOODzRwR35ygJd-a300SZg5iFp5OizuqguMuDVn4OTNm77bL53Vf24XL3qm83joBMporvIZx9ZQFeJXbWiW36AzNO8JTqrOwLc5QH/s320/SAM_0625.JPG" width="320" /></a>Christmas!! Wow- it is just around the corner & I usually don't do much Christmas planning until I see the Black Friday sales. I love Black Friday shopping from my recliner with my mouse & the web. But Kelsey has me thinking ahead (maybe because she has been planning since June). My grands have too many toys as it is.So I think I may limit toys to 3 each, and not expensive ones either. A few clothes & some stocking stuffers. Yep- Santa stuffs all the stockings at Grammys' house also. Any opinions? I just cant make myself limit it to 3 gifts each like some do. This is one of the few times I like shopping- Christmas. Except for my men- they are IMPOSSIBLE to buy for!! Especially Mike & David! And that is another thought- Mike & I buy all year long- I am going to suggest to him we don't buy anything that is expensive for each other. Socks & underwear always works. LOL<br />
<br />
I am trying to be more thrifty this year... 1- our income is different due to Mike being on disability- 2- I spent all the money on ME already. Ha haaaaaaa<br />
<br />
Have you seen the Sock Snowmen? I am also thinking about having a get together with a few friends who don't care that my house is messy & make some. That way we can all laugh & have fun, and make fun of each others creations. Maybe I should have a contest for the Strangest Snowman & the Prettiest Snow person. None would be ugly- have you ever seen a ugly snowman? I haven't, but then I don't ever see snowmen except in pictures. We rarely see snow in SE Alabama. If you think you would like to come to a Sock Snow Person Gathering shoot me a email, or on FB. I have so many doodads we could add. Wonder if I could make boobs that hang to your waist. LMBBO<br />

He still struggles every day with pain & other issues. The Dr situation is a pain in the ass! It is so hard to get a Dr that can help him. But he fights through it all & continues to try & have productive days. He is working on a bed headboard/mini wall thingy for the girls beds now. Yes they are both in twin beds now, and in our room with us. Hard to explain, but I'll take pics for you one day & you will see there is plenty of room for all of us, plus a crib. Speaking of- we (me) got a used crib free, not realizing it had NO hardware on it. And we have had no luck getting any from the company. Our pac-n-play is pretty much wore out after 2 lil girls & Mike falling in it. I have bedding, mattress, everything but the crib!! So I am looking for a cheap used one.<br />
<br />
Oh my gosh- I didn't think to tell you we are have another Grand in Dec!! And its another lil girl. And for some odd reason I feel like this baby should have a crib at Grammy & PawPaws, instead of a pac-n-play. Maybe its because this could be our last grand, & I will want her to sleep in it til she is 18. LOL And Kelsey & Brad bought a home about 10 minutes from us- which is wonderful. Our oldest son David is living here taking care of us, doing stuff we can no longer do. All of them are such a huge help to us!<br />

I had to upgrade from the smaller one, the Portrait. Turns out I LOVE 3D paper crafting. These designs are from <a href="http://svgcuts.com/" target="_blank">SVG Cuts</a>, one of my favorite paper crafting sites. OK- my Favorite one. :) Also the <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/" target="_blank">Silhouette Online Store</a> has wonderful designs also.<br />

Since I have been playing with the Cameo, I haven't done much digi scrapping. :( I have discovered mini memory books, and have a good start on those. My idea for the ones I am making is to write down things you may want to remember one day, a place for small keepsakes, & add pics. A journal/ memory box/photos/etc, all in one. This is one I made for Kelsey to remember her last (?) pregnancy. It wont be long & she wont remember some of those special times, like weird pains she didnt have with the other two- or how she felt the day of her baby shower & how many cupcakes got dropped putting them in the car. There are places she could put the cake decos in. I wish I had a better pic. What I do the best at though- is looking for ideas & never doing them. Sometimes I even buy the stuff to do it, & never do it! <br />
<br />
Well, I think that is a pretty good update with my life. Please leave a comment if you wanna. Guess I should do that there *splecheckiethingie*.<br />

What do you think of this? Many different fonts, colors, this is commonly called "Subway Art". I plan to use this in each of the GD's 1 year Scrapbooks.<br />

Is there a simple program to right click a jpeg image, convert it & save as the folder icon? And NOT in a tiny thumbnail. I would like to see the icon.I have tried a few programs already, & I get a file that I need a magnifying glass to see it. Any ideas? My next try is icomancer. You can leave a message on my blog if you have any ideas. I have windows64 w/ chrome/IE. :)Thanks Yall- BTW- couldn’t we do this many, many versions of windows ago?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I first heard this song from a post a friend did on FB. WOW- it really inspired me to have a good day when I heard it. I have it saved, the album cover saved, & I really think this is what I should wake up to every morning, if I woke up to something. :D Sometimes I listen to it as soon as I wake up. I may have it as a ring tone. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The kit I used is *Me-n-You* by *Leaving a legacy Designs* at *Stuff to Scrap*. The back ground is a blue paper blended with a *Live Laugh Love* texture. Unfortunately, I am not sure where I got the texture- possibly Kim Klassen Textures.</span><br />
