Hey Cristi I just went back to look at your pictures I wanted to see your pretty decorations again and I wanted to check out the colouring of your house what colours are your brick and siding,and we have the exact same microwave.over our stovesand your pink tree was beautiful,

Ellen, I think you are right. It does look like the same colors on the house and the same micro! How funny...and thank you but you put so much into your decorations mine do not even compare. I always see trees and decorations like yours and wish I could do something like that. Wouldn't even know where to begin. But I am going to try something a little different next year.

Carree,

Good to hear from you! Go to Photobucket.com and post a picture. Then edit it, making it 50% of the original. Then copy the IMG address off of it, and paste it here.

Unless you buy a Photobucket account - about 20 bucks per year - the image will dissapear after so many hits. But it would be here long enough for us to get to see your photos! I personally shelled out the $$ so my photos won't go away unless I take them away.

Hope to see you in chit chat!

Christmas in Connecticut

I posted this photo before you posted your "how to". I am in work and just started to fool around with Microsoft Photo Editor by changing the pixels and also by resizing the photo. I don't have Microsoft Photo Editor at home (at least I don't think I do).

Happy New Year to all of You!

Ellen, I loved the pics.Was that a Stiff Teddy Bear? Your house is beautifully decorated. I am so impressed with the detail and work it must of taken. I've always wanted to do lights on our house but my son is a bit of a Scourge.Carree,your house it so pretty.I do love to look at snow.I've had a bit of a Chirtmas miracle. The day after x-mas I got into the car and backed it out of the driveway. When I got out to shut the gate I noticed one of my favorite feral kitties lying very still in the driveway where I had been parked.I was horrified thinking I'd run over her . I picked her up and couldn't find an injury but her eyes were open and she looked liked she'd had a stroke. I wrapped her in a blanket and laid her on a chair on the porch. I had to pick up my son so tearfully rushed to get him so we could get back home and try to get her some help. Being Sunday and x-mas a vet was going to be hard to find.When we got home she had vanished. I didn't see her for two days and was convensed she'd crawled off to die somewhere. I serched everywhere for her. This morning there she was wanting breakfast with all the other babies. She seems like her old self. I'm so relieved.

Pam,

The story you posted about the cat really touched me. I can just imagine how stressed out you were over this.

So glad everything worked out just fine. They must have guardian angels protecting them.

Love,
carree

Carree~love the pic! But I am glad you and Jane got the snow and not me! Just not ready for it.

Pam~aaaahhhh...glad the kitty is fine.

Thanks Carree and Cristi. You know, I really think maybe they do have Angels.I'm a little strange I know but I believe they have souls like we do. Though the years I've seen more simularities then differances between animals and us. When I learned that Chimpanzee's DNA was 98 percent identical to ours I wasn't surprised.

Carree--Your house is beautiful!! Love the snow around it and the lighting.

Ellen--Your house is gorgeous too! Love looking through your photos.

Pam--Poor kitty...so glad to hear it's ok now.

Carree - love your home! Thanks for sharing.

As always,I will be alone tonite but I really don't mind. This year has ended better then it started and I have only good things to look forward to for next year. Because of my weight loss and leg braces things that have been impossible are now possible. Disneyland here I come.I even have a new sence of selfworth. I have stopped being my Meth Addicted sisters "fixer" and doormat and am thinking I deserve to be happy.Yep,I have a new attitude.
