More animation fun

Yesterday I was playing with my animation program  and was having a lot of fun till I realised that I had created a slide show  that was very large so much so that I had to delete it from my computer,  it was over a meg, my son said mom that is almost a movie, so  much for all that work.  Well here is a small sample of a dragon fly changing colors,  I thought this was so pretty and wanted to share.
Watch the dragonfly change into a  pretty array of colors.  It will only run one time on the post  so you might have to click the picture to see the full effect

Etsy's new forum changes, What were they thinking?

They had been announcing for a while, and we were preparing, starting teams and such  and then we see a change and the promotion are still there but for how long?  The one thing that bugs me about all this  is the Christiecottage BNS thread.    ChristieCottage’s ♥BnS ♥ since 11/2008 with 13,607 sales thru 02/04/11

Should a thread like this be tossed away  I say a big fat NO!  look at the time and effort  that has been put into this with over 13000 sales.  I have to say I am a little upset with Etsy, I have been there since 07  and this change has caused alot of confusion with etsy sellers  who depend on and count on going to the forums to promote  their items, should  they go away all together  then what?  We hope  the "Teams"  are a good idea?  I guess we have to see what happens, but in the meantime  There are alot of us  that have ArtFire shops as well. Also good to have a back up plan

Tubeing my photos

What's  tubing?  Well  I work in Paint Sop Pro X2  now  but started back when it was Paint shop pro 7  and have upgraded as I can.  Tubing is when you can take a picture, remove the background, and then export it to you picture tube collection therefore being able to use it over and over again in differant pictures or collages.  I love doing this  and altering pictures  and my son's and grandchildren know it so they never know what to expect, especially if a certain picture suddenly appears on facebook and they know  that's not the original.  They have learned  that I can do some interesting  things with their pics.

So Tommy  my oldest and I were talking the other day and let me tell you he is a computer genius, he can do anything as far as computer work goes, so any way  we got to talking  and we will in the very near future be offering Web designs,  I will be doing the graphics  and he will be doing the rest.  You can have you own web store,  and I can guarantee you it will be amazing.

Picture alterations  is a service I hope to add to my Etsy shop very soon

I don't think we are Beef bourguignon kinda folks

So I followed  this time consuming recipe to the T, had all my ingredients, followed all the steps, and when it finally came down  to hubby and I eating we both looked at each other and agreed all we could really taste was the wine,  now  we are not wine drinkers actually we don't drink at all  so this was kind of a shock to us.
Maybe I used the wrong kinda of wine even though I asked a wine expert at the store what he would suggest to use.
There are several recipes on the web for Beef bourguignon so maybe I choose a bad one as it did call for a whole bottle of wine and for the meat to marinate for 8 hours in wine,  so no wonder it tasted like wine.

I did look up the recipe from Julia Child  and I did see the same ingredients with a couple of exception's 1 being 2 cups of wine not a bottle  and not marinating it for 8 hours.  So should I ever tackle this again  I will follow Julia Child's recipe  and hope I can taste other things besides  the wine.

The 4 looks of a tulip

Scrambling an egg

Now  i like the rest of you have scrambled eggs  for years,  I love a good scrambled egg, and sometimes I will add some milk to the eggs and they are usually pretty good.  However I was watching  Paula Deen  the other day  and she was doing a show on breakfast  and she showed a technique for scrambling an egg  that you just can't beat.  Try this....  break your eggs  into a bowl and instead of milk  use about 2 teaspoon's of water  and a tablespoon of sour cream.  Beat  with a whisk  and scramble in butter  on a med heat.
Now that is a good egg.

Thanks Paula

A tragedy in Stokes County

So I am talking with my mom yesterday morning  and she tells me  that on the news  there was a fire in Stokes county with one fatality.  Well a little while later she calls  to tell me that it was my sisters bother in laws trailer that had burned down, but they were at work.  Well  not long after that  she called back to tell me  that  someone was in the trailer and they didn't make it out.  It was my sister's  sister in law.

What a devastating blow  to hear this.  You hear so much on the news  and think how terrible but when it is someone you know  it takes on a whole new meaning.  The fire started around 5 in the morning  and  went out of  control very quickly.  The entire double wide was burnt to the ground, every thing was destroyed including a young wife and mother and their  cocker spaniel fur baby.

The family is devastated to say the least.  Lots of prayers is needed  and much appreciated.  My niece is so upset at the loss of her aunt, a husband missing his wife  and a daughter missing her mother.  What a tragic way for someone to die, but through the fire  I know Jesus was taking her by the hand  and taking her to paradise

My new years resoulation....Eat More Cheese

Now really  I know it is one I can keep.  We all have others but usually by Feb we are saying well maybe better luck next year and we give up.  So  I am being realistic  and doing one I know I can keep.  I mean you know cheese is good on everything.  My hubby , my son's and myself of course Love cheese, and I am thinking I will try some this year that I have never tried before. So now a recipe share.

I was watching Paula Deen yesterday  and she was doing a show on grilled chicken and grilled potatoes, well I don't have a grill but I was intrigued on the potato technique so I was like now I am going to have to roast these in the oven so how can I kick these things up and then it came to me.  Now Paula's part was this, you wash your potatoes and cut them into 1 inch pieces width wise.  Then you boil them for 6 min  and Paula said only 6 min because you will finish cooking them on the grill or for me in the oven

Gouda and caramelized onion topped potatoes:

Ingredients:

4 baking potatoes
2 large onions
1 block of gouda cheese
1 stick of butter
salt

So after cooking your potatoes for 6 mins you drain the water  and place them on a cookie sheet
Melt some butter in the microwave  and brush the tops with the butter and a little salt.  Place in a 375 degree oven for 15 min
While the potatoes are baking cut you onions  and with a 1/2 stick of butter and a frying pan  you cook the onions on a med heat,  they will soften and turn a light brown. 
Take the potatoes out  and flip them adding more butter and salt. for 5 to 10 more min
Take your block of gouda and shred it.

I then took the potatoes out, ad put the cheese  and the caramelized onion on top and placed back in the oven for about 3 min  so the cheese could melt.  Top with sour cream  and my hubby said  they were like little potato steaks.

Today the world lost a great woman

Today has been a sad day for me.  My ex mother in law  went to be with the Lord this morning a little after 8:00am.  She had been battling colen cancer.  Although  she was my ex mother in law  didn't make a difference.  I had knew Ella Mae  for 40 years  and she was the grandmother to my 3 sons.

She was a great christian woman and was one of the kindest people you would ever meet.  I met her when I was 12 when she and her husband  and children  decided to start coming to our church. She was the kind of person who would have given you the shirt off of her back.  And she always  wanted you to eat.  Great cook  and very loving mother, grandmother  and mother in law.  She will be so missed  by so many people. but I know  she has been reunited with her husband, sister, brother  and lots of other family and loved ones including my daddy.

Let's keep Christ in Christmas

I remember growing up in our home it was always Christmas. So one day  I saw that someone had taken Christ out  and put in an x.  I was confused  so I went and ask my mom  what does that mean  why did someone use an x instead of Christ.  She told me  that they had taken Christ out of Christmas.  Well that has stayed with me  thorough out the years  and have found it really bothers me  to  see Christmas spelled  that way.  Is it because  people are in a hurry  and don't take time to write Christmas.

And Happy Holiday  well that dosen't work fo me either,  it is Merry Christmas  and if you tell me Happy Holiday  I am going to say back Merry Christmas.   And I have a Christmas Tree  not a holiday tree.  How sad  that we have became a nation  that feels like that if you tell someone Merry Christmas  you might offend them.  I will say Merry Christmas  till the day I die  and you will NEVER see me take Christ out of Christmas
after all  He is the reason for the season

I will not let Christmas beat me this year

I know  that in the past I have let Christmas beat me down.  Through stress  and exhaustion.  It was a non stop rush  that left me with migraines, lots of stress  and by the time Christmas came I was to tired to enjoy things.  Well I made the decission  that I wasn't going to let that happen  and so a new tradition is born.

My family loves to eat, so with that in mind  I am doing the gift of food.  I am baking everyone cakes this year  so when they get up Christmas they will have a cake made by me to enjoy for Christmas day. I have 7 to make and really looking forward to it.

Cheese Party !  this year I decided that since we are cheese nuts (don't think I have ever met a Cheddar I didn't like  even the sharpest)  and my hubby and kids agree  so we are going to have a cheese party, all different kinds, with a variety of crackers and bread.  Followed with hot chocolate or coffee  and of course cheese cake

When my boys were little  they loved  the cheese ball I always made  so here is how simple it is and yes it will be at the party
ingredients:

cheddar spread
cream cheese
blue cheese
1tsp garlic salt
1 T Worcester sauce
crushed pecans
parsley (optional)

Let you cheeses come to room temperature. In a mixing bowl mix  the cheeses  and the garlic salt and Worcesters sauce.  blend well.  Form into a ball on a plate and then cover with pecans and parsley.
put in the fridge  to firm back up  and then serve with crackers or bread

It is better to give than to recieve

The other day I was doing some cleaning  and discovered I had lot's of change in my pocketbooks I had not carried in a while.  About 6.00 worth.  Well I got to thinking that perhaps I should put all that change  in the Salvation Army kettle.  So I figure if  alot of people did that  thhink of the moeny that could be raised to help others.  So dig around  and see what you can find  and make that donation . No matter how small  it all adds up in the end  and relly it is the season for giving.

Craigs List-- Through the years I have found i have lots of Christmas decorations  as you know we usually make or buy some every year.  So if I am not using all of them I decided to share.  I put a free listing on craigs list  and gave them to someone who needed them so they could decorate for Christmas  I am sure if you dig around  you will find that you have some extra's too  so share the extra's

Try  and buy 1 toy and donate no matter how small you might think it is  come Christmas morning a child is going to smile

Now from me to you  Some Christmas gift tags.  Just save the picture and print and use on your gifts
remember to click on it first to make it larger

Yesterday  I was looking on craigs list  and came apon something that caught my eye.  A little girl has a Christmas wish.  It is a simple one.  She would like to recieve  100 Christmas cards  this year.  Now being a mom and a grandma  I can see how a child could make a wish like this.  Wouldn't it be great for her wish to come true  and to recieve cards  from all over.  If you would like to send her a card let me know  and I can send you her address.

Now  the winner of  yesterdays Christmas banner is....... Sweety Bird!!  Let me know what uyou would like wrote on it  and I will send it right to you
