Support Royanna Fritschmann

This is reprinted with permission.

I'M GIVING AWAY THE STORE FOR FREE It's been a while since I've blogged here - bad blogger, bad blogger!! LOL! But, I have something very special for you all. I've received permission from Royanna Fritschmann to GIVE AWAY HER STORE! How's that?! Yes, I'm giving away Royanna's store at Divine Digital to ONE very, very lucky person. As you may or may not know, Royanna's family is in dire crisis, and if you want a real bargain on, not only Personal Use items, but many Commercial Use items as well, now would be the time to purchase her entire store for just $25, and get the very generous Cyndi Wetmiller's Wetfish Designs complete store as well. And, of course, you would be helping out Royanna and her family. We've all had to tighten our belts right now, but this is a personal crisis that I hope all of you never have to go through. Please note, I don't personally know Royanna and her family, but when someone's down, it doesn't hurt to extend a hand to try to lift them up, if you are able to. Remember, what goes around, comes around. I would hope someone would extend a hand to you as well if you were the one in need. So, here's Royanna's ad from Divine Digital so you know what's being given away.

Buy Royanna Fritschmann's Entire Store - ONLY $25.00 Sale thru July 31! Over 550+ Products available! Get all my commercial and personal use items - buy my store for one low price! BONUS! Buy my store and get Wetfish Designs Entire store for FREE! Coupon to be sent after purchase CLICK HERE for information [must be registered to view] http://www.divinedigital.com/ Okay, that's the store information - but one more thing: In case you didn't notice, let me repeat one more part of the ad: BONUS! Buy my store and get Wetfish Designs Entire store for FREE! I have also received permission from wonderful Cyndi Wetmiller of Wetfish Designs to also extend this part of the offer free to you as well, if you are the ONE VERY, VERY LUCKY PERSON to win this free offer from me. This is really an offer you can't refuse, so here are the details for the give away: Just leave me your email address in the comments section of this post (click on "comment" at the bottom of this post to get to the comment section). Only those who leave me their email address in the comments section of THIS POST will be entered to win Royanna's storefrom me. Tell your friends, relatives, bloggers, acquaintances, etc. about this unique giveaway. It's the one chance you will have at getting a designer's complete store, no, did I say "a" designer, I meant to say TWO DESIGNERS' COMPLETE STORES FOR FREE! I will randomly choose one winner and post the name here on my blog Sunday evening, July 12, 2009, at 9 p.m. eastern time. The cutoff time for entering your email address in the comments section of this post is 8:30 p.m. eastern time, so I can prepare for the drawing. If you use a different screen name other than what is in your email address, please supply that as well when you leave your email address in the comments section of this post. I will contact the winner by email to give the winner further information at that time. Good luck to everyone, and if you aren't the winner of this fantastic deal, and if you can afford to purchase Royanna's store from Divine Digital on your own for $25 and get Cyndi Wetmiller's Wetfish Designs store for free in the process, I suggest you go ahead and make this purchase now. You will never have a better offer than this, and you will be offering a hand to someone who needs your help right now. As I said, what goes around comes around, and we all need a lift once in a while. Thanks for visiting my blog either way, and have a great weekend!

Help me name my new Kitten

DSCF1004

This adorable little fellow found me during the fireworks display at a local fair! I figure he is about 8 or 10 weeks old, not sure about that though. He is a totally little feral boy that came hiding around my hubby’s concession stand during the release of the fireworks and was just so scared! That is my arm he is sleeping on in the picture. He has a kooky little habit of putting his nose against mine and then proceeding with trying to nibble my nose! He gives great kitty hugs/head butts too. He is a clinging vine as well when he knowsI'm up he wants out of the crate and to be my second skin. ( I tried letting in bed with me the first night, but he had a accident in bed, so now it's the crate at night, at least until he and the litter box become better acquainted.) He is also terrified of the dogs here, another reason for the crate, so he can become acclimated to the dogs and barking and such. Also so they get used to him and give up trying to chase him around the house when he gets on the floor. I'm using it to protect him form them mainly, I have a winter blanket over the top of it to make a cave for him to hide in.

Now, the problem, I need some suggestions as to what to name him, please? Right at the moment I'm calling him Charlie, but I'm not happy with that so I'm asking for suggestions.

Big Scare Today!

I thought I had really messed up my computer badly today! I had downloaded and installed a program to update my device drivers and used it once successfully. Well today I decided to get another driver and update it, BAD MOVE! The driver I downloaded and installed messed up my keyboard and mouse in a way that they wouldn’t work! I fought with this silly machine for hours and finally managed to get it to do a restore point for me and THAT finally worked. Be VERY careful what you download! Even if it appears to be something to improve your machine, you just don’t know what it might do!

Oh and while I”m on the subject, NEVER try to defrag your registry?!?! It just doesn’t like it and it will really mess with your computer! I did it and had to reformat, and reinstall everything afterwards! If you  don’t know exactly what you are doing the best thing is allow your computer do download updates for you. That way you know the update is compatible with your operating system and machine, or go directly to the manufacturer’s site and download the updates form them!

Hey everyone it's that time again! The first of the month is the start of all the new challenges at K-Joi

Here are some of the offerings there for you to join and earn points that are good in the store to use to purchase items for your scrapping pleasure.

Trying Something New!

This is a module that is in Vista that allows me to add new content from my desktop directly into my blog. I am just giving it a trial run to see how it works. This just might be what I need to stay a bit more current on my blog. It works very well actually and I think it just might keep me busy adding new content.

My furry lap warmer, Tinkerbelle, has passed away.




My son in law buried her near the house so I can visit her grave. I know she is no longer in pain now, but I do miss her. I was more relieved that she is no longer suffering. I am crying as I write this, but this is really the first time I've had to stop and think about her today. After I took her to the vet, she seemed better, but the next day she couldn't even stand up properly and scooted on the floor mostly. I knew then that she was going to leave me.
I was supposed to take her back to the vet the next day, but I knew it was of no use when I saw how she had given up, she just didn't have the will to live any longer. The hardest part was having to let her stay confined for her own protection. The dogs would have sensed her weakness and possibly attacked her. Yesterday I let her out for awhile and she managed to crawl into her litter box, but then couldn't get back out. I had to take the top off and lift her back out, she had even started having seizures this last week. I figured the best thing for her was to just let her alone so she could go to the bridge.
The vet said she had horrible plaque on her teeth and that was most likely the source of her infection. If I had thought about it more clearly a few weeks ago, I might have had time to help her more. They could have cleaned her teeth and possibly saved her, but that is only speculation.
She has lived a full and loved life, except for the last few days when she was suffering so. I even caught my self wishing she could just give up and be at peace. I told her often the last few days how very sorry I was that I had been so distracted with other things that I hadn't noticed her problem. I also told her often how very much I loved her and that I would miss her, but it was best that she go on without me at least for now.

Lyme Disease Awareness Kits

Factiod: Doctors say that the classic sign of Lyme's Disease is the "Bullseye or Target Rash", but don't think that because you didn't see this that you are safe! The rash doesn't always appear in this pattern, and you could still be infected.




Due to unforeseeable circumstances My kit in not accessible even to me! So a dear friend has allowed me to offer you the kit that she made in it's place. Thanks Liz, you are a gem!

 
Here are the links to the Kit:

Lyme Desease - Horrific Disease

There will be a new freebie coming soon. It is in support of Lyme Disease Awareness Month. This is a horrific disease that is appearing more and more in the world. I read one statistic that it is becoming even more prevalent than AIDs now. People are missdiagnosed frequently and doctors are being penalized for helping those that suffer with the condition.

Please read up on the symptoms and treatments and be aware of this hideous malady for your own, your family and friends sake! Turm the Corner is an organization that is dedicated to making the population aware of this. Check out thier site and be careful!

I've Been Taged!!!

K-Ming's My Litttle Trinkus aka Munchkin
This is a picture from the Miniature Sharpei Club of America 2004 Nationals.
This was Munchkin's first show and mine as an owner, but I wasn't able to show her this time, I was acting as the ring steward that day. A wonderful friend's daughter did show her and she won several blue ribons in the puppy classes that day, I was so very proud of her. In fact this was the day we meet as well, she got to come home with me after the show was over and has been a constant companion ever since then. We did take her to another show after this one, but she seemed so very oncomfortable that day that I decided it was for the best if she retired from the show circuit and be a lovable home body which she has really shined at since.
Since I have been tagged it was explained to me that now I get to pass the torch to 6 more lucky bloggers.
They are in turn to go to their "My Pictures" folder on their computer and select the 6th, (or 5th, 4th, 3ed, 2ed, or 1st which ever applies), folder there, then to select the 6th picture in that folder and put it on their blog and write about it. Below is the list of selected blogs I have picked.
