Am I?

...a procrastinator? Yes, I believe I just might be. I'm very good at thinking about things, making lists of what needs to be done, and how to do it. But...(or maybe I should say butt) I'm always sitting around on my butt and not getting anything done. I'm not saying I'm lazy, because I don't sit 24 hours and stare at walls or anything like that. I do work 40 hours a week. It's just the other 128 hours in the week that I seem to have the problem.

I think about cleaning my house and getting it organized.
I plan craft projects
I surf the Internet and look through magazines for decorating ideas.
I take and edit pictures that I plan to print and frame. (ooh I think this one is more of a doing something than thinking about it...lol)
I come up with and start digital projects to give as freebies.

So does this post have a point? Hmmm, I'm not really sure....lol I can say though that over the weekend I did get a very good start on the cleaning. The basement is finally cleaned up and my computer room is cleaned, organized and rearranged.
Craft projects are still sitting on the back burner.
Decorating? I don't think I have any decorating sense at all. I'm just too darn eclectic.
I haven't been taking too many pictures, or editing any lately.
I did start a new freebie for you on Friday and I finished it today.
Well see! This post had a point after all...lol
I thought maybe some of you could use some word art for father's day. It is right around the corner. There are 4 in the set, 3 different sentiments, one of them is done twice with a slightly different look.

The class of 2009

Congratulations to all the new graduates from the class of 2009. Best wishes to you all.
Wade's youngest daughter graduated last night. It was your typical long graduation ceremony, but the principal gave a very amusing speech. They also had a really nice slide show presentation before handing out the diplomas.
This is something I threw together for her. I used my circle template, and a few other things I made myself. The word art at the bottom was part of a freebie from http://digivic.blogspot.com
I re sized the circle down to 4.5 inches, printed it out and then adhered it to a CD with tacky glue.

I was a little disappointed with the pictures that I took. Bad lighting, sitting too far away and maybe a bit of crappy photography, led to a whole bunch of odd colored, blurry pictures. It gave me an excuse to experiment in pse though. No sense in just throwing pictures out. You never know what you might come up with.
This is an edit I did on one of them. I made the word art in the top corner.


Then I got to thinking, some of you may have graduation pictures of your own that you'll be scrapping. I came up with a few more and have a set of 4 to give you today.



Hope some of you will find these useful. You can get them right HERE.

Bah Humbug and a freebie

Bah Humbug is exactly the way I'm feeling about Christmas right now. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. What I'm really disliking right now is what it's turned into. Retailers rushing the holidays through so they can get bigger sales every year, shoppers fighting to be the first one to get the years hottest toy, the mentality that tells people if your really want to show your love and appreciation you have to spend, spend spend (whether you have the money to spend or not).
You could say I'm guilty of rushing the season myself, since I've already posted some Christmas freebies here, and you would be right. I'm also guilty of over indulging my children when they were younger. After so many years of it, and my holiday spirit taking longer to kick in, it's time for me to ignore the unrealistic expectations and focus more on what it's really all about.

I sat down tonight and created some word art that was based on the true meaning of Christmas.
