Introducing Michael.



Michael is the newest member of my extended family. Michael married my niece, Amanda in May of 2007. From the first minute I met him, he earned a place in my heart. Austin was on a tear that day, and he was too loud, and too rowdy, and just too much Austin! Michael was totally unfazed by him, and played with him for several hours. Michael is a teacher, and if his relationship with Austin is anything to go by, his students must love him!

Michael Bracket Album Freebie - Day 3

Is Day 11 Gone Already?

I just got a comment where the person assumed (incorrectly) that I've already removed the link to Day 11. So for those of you who might see that comment, no Day 11 is not gone. For that matter, I haven't removed Day 10 yet.

Many of you have shown that you really do read my blog and I've gotten a number of email requests for missing days today. I've even been asked for a hint to where the link for Day 11 is hiding. And here's the hint that I gave... look under the preview for today's download.

So, don't give up. The links are there and will be there for at least another day.

Birthday Wishes "Kate" Album - Day 11

Wow! I hit a record number of comments today. Thank you everyone for all of your supportive comments. They really mean a lot to me. For those of you who mentioned missing days, email me and I'll see what I can do about getting you the missing days.

Only three more days and I'll officially be in my mid-40's! Okay... a little more firmly in my mid-40's. Please no Geritol or Centrum Silver remarks! Austin was getting on my nerves a bit today, so I distracted him for awhile by having him help me bake brownies. Whipping up brownies from a mix usually takes 5 minutes, but with kid help it took almost 30 minutes instead! At least it got him off the tangent he was on, and we had dessert for a change!

Just a quick note...

I received this comment on Day 9 over at the 4shared download.

From Anonymous - Thanks for sharing, but I don`t really think it`s fair to leave them up for a short period of time, some of us ACTUALLY WORK for a living!

I usually blow these comments off, because they are overwhelmingly in the minority. I receive so many positive comments, that most of the time it makes it easy to ignore the ones that are a little less so. Today, I feel the need to vent. I've held it in for a long time, because I really, really don't want to offend anyone, but these comments are hurtful and I don't think the people leaving them realize how badly they do sting. I'm not the only designer who feels that way, but we tend to not say anything.

In self-defense of this comment, and the other similar comments that I've received, I'd like to point out a few things.

Even though I say I'm going to take each day down after one day, I usually end up leaving them up for at least 1 1/2 days and usually longer. I get busy and don't get a chance to remove them in the time that I say.

I kind of resent the implication that I don't work for a living. In addition to doing digital designing, I also do graphic and web design, I sew Civil War era dresses, and I run an internet retail establishment. On top of that I have my son, my husband (neither of whom know how to pick up after themselves), all the housework, we have chickens that need to be cared for AND I do all the yardwork. I am usually on the go constantly from around 6am to well after 1am. Just because I don't have to leave my house in the morning doesn't mean that I don't work.

So to Anonymous, I'm glad that you enjoy the freebies that I give, and I'm really sorry that you don't think that I leave them up long enough, but please don't judge me.
