Oh Good Grief!!

That title sums up all the frustrations I've had the last month.
We've just gotten our dial-up....yes, I said dial-up internet hooked up! Can you believe that? I thought they had done away with that years ago! (no I actually know it's still around, I just don't like having to use it!) All the DSL ports in our area (our area at the new house) are taken up. We're on a waiting list with AT&T to get DSL as soon as a port opens up. There is no other providers in this area, believe me I've called them all.
Then, if having to deal with slow dial-up wasn't enough my computer is acting up. It's that crazy Vista! I'm having to use our old laptop to get on the internet. The newer one won't run the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer and won't run the one that's on it. And, we all know with no Adobe the internet is pretty much worthless!
Well, enough of my sad, sob story. I'm able to get back on my blog now and that's what I was wanting to do all along. I'm glad to be back. I hope it'll get back to normal.....whatever normal is! LOL!
I missed the deadline to post our Competing Princesses card (last day of the month). I had it done, just couldn't get it uploaded. So, Terria....here's what I made with your very cute kit! I never have enough masculine cards around. Thanks for giving me the tools to make one!
Okay, so this is more of a scrapbook accent I'm gonna use in my scrapbooks than a card. (it doesn't open, LOL!) When Terria sent the kit, she had knotted the twine. I left the knot b/c I loved it! The only thing I added was the hemp twine at the top right. All the rest came from her great kit!
It feels good to be able to post again! Thanks for hanging around ;) You all are the best.
Until next time...
Blessings...

Competing Princesses August Challenge!

It's Friday!
It's Friday!


Are you jumping up and down with excitement?! Come on....jump around....get happy!!!
I LOVE Fridays :-)

Today is the debut of another card kit competition I'm in.
We are the Competing Princesses!
We consist of ladies in my blog group over on SCS.
We have 2 teams:

Moira ~ Team 1's Captain
April
Colleen
AnnMarie
Lesley

Nancy ~ Team 2's Captain
Melanie
Terria
Me

Please go visit each one of these fabulous ladies' blogs. The links are located in my left sidebar under our Paper Princess Blog Sisters Badge.

So, for August, April from Team 1 and Melanie from Team 2 agreed on a theme and sent kits out to their team mates. They went with "Sizzling Summer". Everyone created a card with their own card base and the items from the kit. I am so excited to see what image the other team's hostess sent out and what she sent in her kit too. Also, it's going to be great to see how my own team mates used the same kit I got.

Here's what I came up with. Thanks Melanie for this cute kit!

Ain't he darling?!
I added the black card base and the small piece of orange polka dot dsp (from SU!). The rest came from Melanie! ;-)
I colored this cute little guy with SU! markers and watercolor pencils.
This is my first time using dew drops. I love them. I'm going to have to me some!

Now, go see what everyone else created! :)
That's an order! Ha Ha ~JUST KIDDING!~
Please go see?!! *giggle*

Until next time...
Blessings...
