go to view blog and see your new header
let me know how you do

My headers...

I grab them from everywhere...
there are so many places to get free backgrounds and headers...
sometimes all I add is my name and a frame...
this was just a fun pic I found when I googled fall images...
here is one where I was trying different placements of the text....
it was pink originally...
turned it black and white and then tinted it orange...
add some text...
sometimes a photo...
here are some very plain ones...
this one you have seen before...
this is how it started...
and this one is fun...
I have clip art that I use and old postcards...
sometimes, when I'm bored...
I design my own...
not sure on getting the size right...
then just take one already done...
and paste your photo on top...
it will fit in the header space every time...
but I really like the frames right now...
and, Debbie, I hope you don't mind me using  your blog name to play with today...
if you like them, use them...
so there you go...
its not that hard...
if you have problems...
just holler...
I can help...
now, go play...

I'm playing...

got several things going on at once...
almost forgot to do lunch...
almost...
15 photo albums done...
need to bag and price...
5 boards base coated and pattern on...
need to cure a bit longer...
itching to get into that...
on the left hand side...
no the other left...
you will see a photo of my chair and a link to the post that explains it...
for those of you who missed it before...
and to Cabin and Cottage...
Aye matey, I will be talkin' like a pirate soon...
very soon...

My White Wednesday...

I bought this off of my friend, Rebecca...
she had it in her barn sale...
it needs some cleaning up...
and I'm not sure where this will go...
but I thought it was cute...
Happy WW!

My day...

this is an old trunk that I picked up years ago and have had it in various places...
and it has not sold...
and I don't need it here...
so my son is getting this one...
after a good hosing down...
I have 3 in the house now...
ones I like better...
my new wheels...
it is so comfortable and the back wheels are huge so it's easy to wheel around...
I was out for my test drive when Rebecca showed up last night...
Craig took me for a walk and then DH took me later...
it is so nice to be out again...
all the neighbors came out to see me...
I'm thinkin' I need a horn and head lights...
the guys think I need a backup beeper...
the clouds looked like rain this morning...
but nothing...
and our chance is gone now until Thursday...
we need rain...
the morning glories are still going at it...
we have many different colors of them...
letting the cone flowers go to seed and some will be in arrangements when they are dryer...
and this has been a joy...
the sweet smell of these little white blooms has filled my yard for some time now...
fall doesn't get much better than the Autumn Clematis in bloom...
if we don't get rain...
we won't have color in the leaves...
the ones dropping now are all brown...
and I don't know about you all...
but we are plagued with dragon flies...
thousands of them...
they are migrating to Cuba...
but we have been so warm- 87 yesterday!...
that they are hanging out here until we get cold...
it's really weird in the evening when they are all flying around...
we do not live on the water...
