Celeste, the pictures are beautiful! Instead of kids, the cats (except for Zeus who needs a big hug) are nestled all snug in their beds" Snow pictures are gorgeous...looks like a rainy Christmas for me...and a warm one. But our crazy weather yo-yos cold and hot, cold and hot. But all you do with weather is talk about it, right? Your grandson is precious...love the Santa pic. My two and four YO grands were here today to make cookies with Mimi. After frosting and decorating, the two year old went off to play with blocks, but the Noah, the four year old was made of tougher stuff. "Chocolate chips are my favowite Mimi, so we made chocolate chips, then peanut butter cookies, then "but waisin cookies are my daddy's favowite, Mimi, we have to make them." so we made raisin cookies, then their cookie buckets were full, as was an additional box of chocolate chip cookies. I had to sit down for a while before I even cleaned the kitchen. I'm already planning for next year. And Celeste, we all enjoy your beautiful pictures so much. The amaryllis are really pretty. They go in the ground here when they are through blooming, and they bloom in the ground the next Spring, sometimes twice. I enjoyed your Christmas card, Celeste. Here is a picture of my tree. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. kay

If your have Print Shop you got to cards and click from there. You can create your own or have the program help you. I always start from scratch. You can import stuff into the card from your own files. I keep my personal pictures and stuff I use in my documents in a folder. You can also use their graphics, there is a graphics button and you search there for what you want. There is a text box, you click on it and a text box comes up and you can size it to the size you want, pick your font and color and type in what you want. You just need to play around with it and if you have a question come back on here and ask it. Hope I helped a little. If you find a poem or saying you like and want to put it in the card just highlight what you want and right click, copy and go to your card and right click and paste. If you want a different size, font and or color just go to edit at the top and click select all and that will highllight it and then you pick your color, size and font.

I am so glad you are all enjoying your cards! Cheryl, I'm sorry to hear about your hand and cast. I have two that I have seen. Any others are at the post office. Maybe when I pick up Mom for the day, we will take a ride and make a stop to empty the box! When I first started participating in this, DH wouldn't let me use our home address, and we had opened a P O Box for ebay use, so that is what I use. This time of year it would be so easy to just walk out to the mail box...... But I do post here when we are taking a trip some times, so I guess it's a good idea to keep using the PO Box. This is always so much fun! Tami

Thanks, everyone! I'll look for the others soon. Maire, my parents met on a tennis court. They were both terrific players. My mom had perfect hand-eye coordination and was a fine athlete. She was also my dad's favorite photography model. In fact, I posted one of his portraits of her in today's "I'll Show You Mine...." photo thread.
