Dad

Sorry if you already saw this at my other journal.  I just feel like I ought to pay my respects to my father at both. 

               

Sidebars and instructions for uploading them to your journal

I've been playing with sidebar designs today.  I made them pretty generic so anyone can use them if they would like to. 

       

To use:  Right click on the sidebar you want, "Save Picture As", you can use the name I did or make one up yourself.  If the sidebar has animation (glitter or sparkles) be sure that you are saving it as a "gif".  If there is no animation you can just save it as "bmp" or "jpg".

Then go to your FTP space (if you haven't been there just type in "my ftp space" in a keyword search.  AOL should take you right to it.  Click the "see my ftp space" button.  Then there should be an images folder there, open that and click the "upload button".

Type in the name of the picture as you want it.  Be sure to add ".gif" or ".jpg", whichever the case may be.  You cannot add ".bmp" to the end, even if the picture is that way on your computer, go ahead and use ".jpg" at the end.  It will NOT work with "bmp" at the end. 

Select the file and then send it.  It is now stored in your FTP space.  So now when you go to your journal and click the Add pictures from hometown, you will be able to find the file there.  You will have to go into Add or Edit an entry to get it.  Right click on the picture when you bring it up in the "Add pictures" area, and copy it. 

Now leave the add entry and go to edit in your About Me section.  Once there right click in the entry space and click paste.  Your Sidebar should now be there, remember to save and your all set!  Cool, huh?

I'm not sure about doing all this personalized stuff.  I know that Brittany, Vernae and a lot of other people do.  But with the baby and everything, I don't know how much time I would have to devote to it.

I also am not sure I want all the headaches and hassle that come with that.  I kind of like doing the tag and snag offers.  But if someone would really like a sidebar with a certain theme or certain information on it, let me know and I will see what I can do.  No promises though.  But I do love playing with these graphics and I will do my best with the time that I have.

Have a great day!  HUGS!

Addicted!

Well, this truly is an addiction isn't it?  I can't seem to stop playing with this dang PSP.  I may need to go into an out-patient program or join G.A.  Is there a "Graphics anonymous" group out there?  LOL

Okay, first for all the mommies out there.  How about some peace and quiet.  This just seems so serene to me...

                       

The next two I did because these are Ray's daughters favorite singers...

              

               

Snag 'em if ya like them.  Please be kind and save them onto your own computer and then upload them, Thanks!

Have a great weekend!

Midnight Sparkle

Well I finally got myself a sparkle tube.  YEA!  Look at the fun things I can do now, lol.  I just love this effect.  As you can see I used it in my new sidebar design too.  I keep starting new graphics and then scrap them and start all over.

Snag it if ya like!

Queen

LOL, I hope ya'll get a kick out of this one.  It's kind of blah and boring looking though.  Maybe I'll try to spice it up a little bit later.

                      

Matthew McCaughnehey

 I think I love this man.  Mmmm, isn't he just beautiful?

Here is one to snag if ya want. 

Beautiful & Love

Today I feel...

                      

I really like this one...

                          

Snag 'em if you like them.  Please remember to save to your computer (right click and "save as") and then upload them to your journal (via your MY FTP SPACE on aol).

HUGS!

Fairy for Brittany and one for ya'll to snag

I made this especially for the wonderfully talented Miss Brittany.  I wish I had half the talent she does.  I know it isn't half as good as anything you do Brit, but I hope you like it. 

                               

And here is the same one that ya'll can just snag if you'd like to.

                               

Here is another one I worked on today. 

             

Have a good night!

HUGS!

Snag some love...

Snag some love!  Please save to your computer and upload to your FTP space.  Or visit Image Shack and upload it there for free storage.

Have a nice evening.

Hugs!

Bubbles

Well here in Toledo, it is waaaay too cold to go out and blow bubbles.  However, I have been having fun playing with some bubbles.  This is what I have been working on this evening.

And here is one you can snag if you want.  Please remember to save it to your computer, and upload to your own FTP space.  Thanks!

Oops!

I worked on this on Friday and forgot to put it in here. 

      

That's my baby boy.

Springtime fairy

I messed up her wings.  I thought I had them just right, but obviously not.  If you like it, feel free to snag it.  (Save on your computer please and thank you)

Tinkerbell

Woohoooooo!  This is fun!  I love tinkerbell (wink, wink stinkerbell!).  I kind of messed up her wings, but I think it looks like they are fluttering a little bit.  I had fun playing with this one.  I should have bordered them though.  Oh well, I think they are still cute.  Snag one if you like.

HUGS!

My first graphic-January 23, 2006

This is the first graphic I made a little over a week ago.  Not bad, but now I can see all kinds of different possibilities with that particlar picture.  Maybe I will go back to it one of these days.

 And this was the second graphic I made the next day.  I love the look of black and white pictures.  And I love the effect of taking one part of a black and white picture and colorizing it.

I made this and the next one on January 25th.

Here are some more pictures of my Rylie Jo.  I took the pictures one night and then worked with them that night and the next day. 

 And...

Getting a little better, huh?  It is too much fun!

My Nascar driver...

Very true!

And here is my first animated graphic... I love that man!  He is absolutely scrumptious!

And here is his beautiful wife...

 And in color...

Well that is everything I've done so far.  I am having fun with this graphic stuff.  Just trying to keep my crayon inside the lines, lol.
