I'm Back and ready to roll! New art too!


Yay! I am back in the saddle again. Hubby and I went out and got a new PC friday afternoon.
I LOVE IT. Of course I really wanted a laptop but we settled for a new desktop and maybe by Christmas I will get a laptop. But wow, this one is alot faster than the other one. I just wish all my old stuff was on it. Daniel worked all day on it yesterday getting alot of our programs back on it. Of course this new one has Windows Vista which I thought would be hard but its really not much difference as XP just a few more bells and whistles. But naturally it didn't like our Cannon printer so we had to get new drivers for it on line. And it didn't like my old version of Paint shop Pro so I am using a trial version until I can get the newest version. But I am just thrilled to be back on line.
I have been working on quite a few swaps lately. And most of them are fall and halloween themed as I wrote about earlier in the week. I have some more to work on today and tomorrow and then I should be caught up. Below are pictures of my Vintage Halloween Postcard Swap.



I am also in a Vintage Halloween Chunky page swap. These are the pictures of them below.




Next pictures are from a "Fall themed chunky pages" swap.


I don't know why but I always LOVE doing Fall and Halloween art. I guess its because Fall is one of my favorite times of the year.


I do want to say that my Prayers and Thoughts are with all people in the Gulf states today. From Mobile, Alabama to Texas. And espiecally the people in New Orleans. Gustav is the last thing they need right now. But they do seem more prepared this time around. I hope Gus slows down and doesn't hit them as hard as they are predicting.
I also want to Thank all my friends who sent me wonderful messages when my old computer died. I am still going to try to retrieve some of my data from my old hard drive.
Hope every one has a wonderful Holiday Week-end.

Halloween already huh? Glad to see you doing great art again. Glad the diasaster was "puters". So much better than "someone". Know what I mean?

Thanks for being the first to post on my new blog. I think it is going to be so much fun.

I'm thinking of our hurricane-threatened friends, too. So very glad you have a new computer and can check in -- the new art is absolutely gorgeous. You have been on a roll -- is this what happens when you can't blog? It's terrific!

Hi Beth. Love the Halloween art. Hope you are showing these off at Yahoo because a couple of these little babies need to go on the front page.

It's good to hear you have gotten back to what you love! My computer wouldn't open up in Explorer yesterday...so I just unplugged it and plugged it back in, turned it on, and it worked! I wonder what makes these things happen!! Anyway..happy new computer and Vista!!
The cards are really nice!!
