Power Scrap Night!

Ok, so I'm totally trying to make the cut for a Scrap Challenge online...3 layouts done...4 more to go! Wish me luck! =)

Today more than ever I want to jump into this screen....I am in desperate need of a vacation! The sun is no where to be found here, in fact, it has made very few appearances this whole summer. I need a "do-over"! =)

I've been doing lots of research on how to do some fun html items on this blog...most of which when I test it....it doesn't work and I'm not sure why. So much to learn! So to perk myself up I go to other blogs, get ideas, download freebies and then I feel a little better. I've been doing a lot of reading lately...too bad it wasn't out on my hammock in some sunshine!

Nothing much happening today other than I'm trying to complete a digital LO for an online challenge due tomorrow and housework!

Wow...I love it!!!

Ok, so definitely the score has been evened out now! You should have seen what my first blog template looked like compared to this....good thing that only existed for about an hour or so...this is WAY better!

I stayed up way too late, but love the result. I just want to jump into my computer screen...especially since our family didn't get a vacation of any kind this summer! I can't believe that my husband is back to teacher meetings this week and will be in school next week! Summer always flies by too fast...I need to move where it is summer year-round!

I still have a couple things that aren't working the way they should....so back to forums and people's blogs to answer those questions! And since I didn't set foot outside of the house yesterday I should probably get going and run some errands not to mention 2 boxes of peaches staring at me that need to be canned! Thankfully I have a helper...but so far all she wants to do is EAT them! LOL
Here she is explaining why she needs MORE peaches to eat! Too funny!

Up and running....I think

Well...here I go on a new adventure...Blogging! I was determined not to get started with this since I always seem to have too many projects going on at once and I just wasn't interested in starting another one that would have a big learning curve for me! LOL I created a family website in 2005 which was another learning process but it was like scrapping digitally which I totally LOVE! However, they have really changed their site in the last 3 years and I'd rather spend my time scrapping layouts I can compile into a book rather than in cyberspace that I can't really print! So, I find myself starting from scratch and learning to create a blog! So far....Blog: 1 Kelseyll: 0

I've already found some very cool places to dress up your blog, but am frustrated to find that the html codes are not working here for some reason. I even took the code to a site that tests html code and it worked there....but not here!!!! (Insert "Type A Personality" scream of frustration here *scream*) Blog: 2 Kelseyll: 0 This is SO not getting off to a great start!

I have saved many other blogger's sites to reference since they had so many cool things and I have yet to figure out how they made it all work. (Type A *scream* again!) Yes, you guessed it... Blog: 3 Kelseyll: 0 I don't think I've been this frustrated with technology since I was teaching high school and trying to get their "state of the art" equipment to cooperate! The Type A in me wants a perfected site before I let anybody know about it...seeing as that could be several months/years from now I'll start with close friends and see what happens....Be Kind, PLEASE! LOL =)

I'm sure at some point I will look back at this very first post and laugh at how "new" I was and how much I've learned (look for that post someday...maybe I'll have the winning score against the blog by then!), but for now I welcome all assistance from those that have really created some amazing sites! Well, I'm off to attempt to create a cool banner...I have an idea on how to personalize one...we'll see how it goes! A potential Blog: 3 Kelseyll: 1 Wish me luck!
