I miss you all sooo much!! I'm so sorry that I haven't had time to come and send out comments, but the days just don't last long enough - I'm up till sometimes 4 a.m. and then back up at 8 a.m. - it's a crazy kind a life I have going right now!!
I'm hoping that if you notice I have a new blog you will come and see me here - and I will try to answer any of the comments you leave me here.
I thought you might like to see some of what I've been up to while I've been absent. I've discovered digital art, and am loving it sooo much!!! I'm leaving you a link to a small portion of my work so far - please DO let me know what you think!!
I started out with the lily and have gone from there. I hope you like them.

Love and hugs,

Addition:
I wanted to show you a flower that I drew digitally the other day - it's called a Parrot Flower, and is only found in Thailand - it is very rare and protected. I hope you like it
A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' the U.S.A. is in trouble !
1. I had a New Hampshire congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)
2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then she interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts .''
Without trying to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa ''
Her response - click.
3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando .
He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.
He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.''
She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)
5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas .
When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas .
When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)
6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.
I explained that Michigan was an hour
ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones..
Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.
7.. A New York lawmaker called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical descr i ption on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'
She replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''
After putting her on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , C A is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.
8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii .. After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California , and then take the train to Hawaii ?''
9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''
10. A lady Senator called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida .
Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''
I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.
She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''
11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded him that he needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't.
I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.'' I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa.
When I told him this he said, ''Look, I've been to China four times. and every time they have accepted my American Express!''
12. A New Mexico Congress woman called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York '' I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?'' '
'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the lady. After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, ma'am,
I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere.'
''The lady retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''
So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''
The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''
Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in!
Could anyone be this DUMB?
YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.

2. This is the code to add an image to your page - just replace YOUR IMAGE LINK with the link to your image, and the width and height if needed - you don't usually need it if you get the code from an image hosting site. If you want a border around the image, change the "0" after border= to whatever width you'd like:
10. To create a horizontal ruled line on your page, use the following code, and change the different values to your own needs:
Size refers to the thickness of the line, and I think the rest is self-explanatory :)
<hr size="4" width="95%" color="#1b2c48">
==============================================
11. For those of you who create glitter comments for others to use, if you'd like to set up a blog like mine where the thumbnails link to the larger image, these are the codes you use:
You put this code in front of the link for the thumbnail:
<a href="#NAME OF IMAGE FILE">
The link will look something like this (with your own image file name in the right places of course :)
<a href="#NAME OF IMAGE FILE"> <img src="http://LINK TO YOUR IMAGE FILE" border="0"> </a>
And in front of the link for the large image you put this:
<a name="EXACT SAME NAME AS BEFORE OR IT WON'T WORK">
So your link will look something like this:
<a name="NAME OF IMAGE FILE"> <img src="http://LINK TO YOUR IMAGE FILE" border="0"> </a>
For the "Back to the Top" link, you need this:
<a href="#top">Back to Top of Page</a>
==============================================
Finally, here is a chart that will give you the codes for making those funky little characters like Hearts, Crosses, etc.:
Some of the most popular HTML character entities are:
»
=
»
«
=
«
<
=
<
>
=

•

♥ or ♥
=

♦ or ♦
=

♣ or ♣

♠ or ♠

†

Hope this helps, and if there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask - I know all kinds of things lol :-)
Here is a list of the Winter Layouts I've created.
Hope you enjoy them!!
I've kept the animation down to the welcome images on most of them, so they should be much faster to load. Each page will open in a new window. When you've viewed one, close the page, then this page will be viewed and you can check out the others. :)
