Orange, Orangier, Orangest

 I had just finished writing my blog on the color ORANGE.

It had 54 photos and 41 different shades of ORANGE.

WHAM!

Gone.

Disappeared.

No. Longer. Exists.

Okay, okay. Don’t panic. I push the ‘back-up button’ every few sentences or photos…just find out how to retrieve it.

Did I mention disappeared?

After reading help pages, community comments, blogger hints ad nauseum -

GONE.

Collage Art Doll cut from all recycled junk mail by inkspired.

Seems Blogger made it permanently deleted, so back up doesn’t count. Retrieval is not possible.

Did I mention - grrrrrr…….

Sigh.

So, here is a VERY SHORT post with a VERY FEW photos of all things ORANGE.
I’m still upset in an I-can’t-believe-that-happened sort of way. And before one of you comments ‘what did you do?’, please understand I did not do anything except try to change 3 letters from auto correct capitals to all lower case. Really.

Perhaps in the fall I will feel ‘orange-ish’ and attempt a repeat, only better, right?

Do keep cool in these

HOT HOT HOT days.

Peace on earth

Welcome!

The crowds and stress and 

Hurry Hurry Hurry

of the days before Christmas

are done.

It is Christmas Eve now!

Things are quiet here.
A dog barking in the distance.
Christmas lights twinkling inside and out.

Okay, I still have wrapping to do
and some clean up from last minute 
craft projects.
I also need to make my Pea Salad for tomorrow.

But I’m not feeling rushed.
Just enjoying the quiet
and reflecting on what Christmas means to me.

My wish for you is that you know
You are loved.
That you know true inner peace,
and that you never forget
how to laugh.

With that in mind,
let’s share some giggles!

Now, let’s not leave out the canine part of the family:

Time for me to go wrap a few presents
and have a bite of dinner.

Who knows?
I might even write out a few 
belated Christmas cards!

 Truth: Addressing Christmas cards
before coffee and/or 10 am
is a waste of time.
You’ll just have to re-address them after coffee.

Hooked on Disney and Pinterest!

I have been having fun for 2 days now with

Pinterest.

Have you been hearing about it?

Wondering what it is?

Heard you have to have a Facebook account?

Well, in answer, you do NOT have to have a Facebook account.

It is LOADS of fun!

I have made 6 different ‘boards’.

It’s a lot like making an etsy Treasury, only you are not restricted to things that are for sale, or only on etsy!

Collage Art Dolls for sale on etsy:

www.collagepaperpainting.etsy.com

That's one of my etsy stores!

Think Birthday Party ideas,

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects for anything you can imagine!

Way cool photographs on numerous subjects.

(To infinity and beyond….)

Bottlecap Magnets with recycled junk mail graphics and words

for sale at: www.inkspired.etsy.com

My other shop!

Patterns, projects, pretty things, ugly things, unique things…..

Really too much to even begin to mention!

My boards (think corkboard/bulletin board on the wall) are:

Disney Vacation!

Paper Doll Fun

A Bookstore on the Wall

Book Shelves DIY

Bookstore Ideas

Angels old and new

On each ‘board’, I ‘pin’ items,

just like you would with a corkboard for inspiration –

it would have notes, plans, dates, ideas, photos….

and so do ‘boards’!

You can pick any photo from the internet, and 'pin' it to one of your boards.

This is one of my favorites:

Biting Mickey's Ears!

I haven’t figured out yet if it is possible to ‘pin’ a photo from your personal computer. So far I haven’t been able to.

So I will just have to share them here,

which puts them on the internet

so I can pin them!

This was taken at DisneyLand during their 50th Celebration.

Each turret had a crown on it!

A fun over-the-door sign to a fun Disney Bookstore!

The Dapper Dans - a must-see free entertainment

Picking up trash - with style!

These guys were all drummers and made the greatest music on trash cans!

A jazz trio playing in the streets of 'New Orleans'.

They played wonderful jazz, and we were the only listeners!

The whole park was filled with photo-mosaics for their 50th Anniversary.

In the bigger picture, you see Snow White and Dopey.

If you look closely, it is made up of thousands of tiny photographs!

I loved the carved frame on this one.

Here’s another:

You can kind of pick out in the second photo the idea that there are thousands of mini-photos that make up the whole!

What an art!

 

Okay, the internet has defeated me.

It is taking sooooo long to write this, and download pix!

I hope you've had fun!
