Thank you all for your lovely comments an the blog redesign. You sure know how to make a gal feel good. Now I read them carefully and a couple of stated that your missing the right piece and have to scroll...it has to have something to do with the screen resolution, 'cause I see it fine on a mine. However I use 1280x1024 and not the minimum standard of 1024x768. Now I resized the header and lowered the ppi, but when I tested it with a standard resolution, it still cuts off part of the header. Just as if I didn't change a thing. I have no idea why it does that. Well, at least the text auto-adjusts. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Blog redesign

As you can probably see, I'm in the process of revamping my blog. I got so sick 'n tired of the way it looked, that I finally sat down and did something about it. As you can see, it has all the things that I like: stars, stitches and my favorite bright colors (pink, red & orange). Now all I have to do is the sidebar buttons, but they will by one at a time.
Credits (also in the footer): Star stitches by Tracy Blankenship, Rope by Gina Marie Huff of Weeds & Wildflowers, various AtomicCupcake actions, font: Roadway, papers and all other elements by IkeaGoddess
I'm out of time now, have run and pick up my booger-boy at grandma's.

Keep your fingers crossed

This household is switching to a different internet and phone provider tomorrow. We did a test run this evening with our router set-up, and totally failed (That's why it took me so long to post). We ended up putting new firmware on our DSL router, reconfiguring and rewiring the whole thing - what a mess and waste of time. Well, maybe we have more luck tomorrow, when it really counts. So keep your fingers crossed and with a little bit of luck I will be back tomorrow, faster than ever before. If not, be sure to check out Amy's blog and Selena's blog to get your freebie fix.

Sunny Sunday Freebies

Like the title? That was my sweetie-pie's idea, he wanted to contribute to my blog. It couldn't be more fitting, because today it was 85°F (or 29°C). It hasn't been that hot in April in Germany since the 1940s! And I'm lovin' every minute of it. If it would just be a little more humid and have a slight breeze, it would almost feel like I'm back in New Orleans. Anyway enough about the weather, on to my little boy. With 26 months he is now officially pacifier free. Whahoo. He threw his pacifiers away on Easter Monday and hasn't had one since. He has only needed them at night for the last year, but then at least 4 of them. One for his mouth, one for each hand, and one for his bear. The first two nights were a little rough falling to sleep, but he is doing great now. I am so proud of him. And to reward my little "big boy" as he calls himself now, I ordered a learner's bike. Take a look:
I can't wait till the weekend, when we pick it up and can try it out.

Fabulous Friday

The little one is with my parents, so my sugar-pop and I are going out tonight. First we'll see 300 ("Madness? - This is Sparta") and then we're off to a Mexican restaurant with some friends. So the freebie list will be late today. For the meantime you can go and see Amy's list.

Layout with today's freebies

While compiling today's freebie list, I thought a lot of the Spring freebies would work together really well. So I did something I very seldom do, I mixed different kits and elements. I also know why I hardly ever do that - my file organization sucks: I still use windows and no cataloging software like ACDSee. I know I should, but I often enough can't even get around to unzipping my downloads. I actually have 11GB of downloads waiting to be unzipped...I have got to get organized, seriously. But the PC room needs even more attention than the PC itself. If my kid would walk in here, I would have to fill out a missing person report and get help and heavy equipment to find him. It's a daily mystery how I even make it to the desk without harm.

Anyway here's the layout I made solely using today's freebies:

flower ribbon & blue, yellow, and purple paper from Sarah Möller's Flowers For You kit,
Tracy Blankenship's FrayedDenim Girl corner,
Jennifer Barrette's Ribbon Flowers,

new layout

Just finished a new layout with some photos I took at the playground today. I was about to print it for my Mom when I realized she's coming home on Wednesday, and the card wouldn't make it to her in time. I almost succeeded in making the layout-a-day I had planned - I can live with 32 out of 35. I'm gonna try to keep it up and do at least two a week, that shouldn't be too hard. So here's what I did tonight:

I'm off to bed now, see you all tomorrow.

Manic Mojo Monday

What a day. I got to stay home today, cause Damien was coughing his little lungs out over the weekend. So we went to his Doc this morning and picked up some broncitis meds. He's already feeling a lot better, but can't go back to daycare till Wednesday. So today it was up to me to entertain my little booger-boy: I read at least 15 books out loud (some over and over again), did 3 search and find puzzles/games (the which animal lives where kind), went to the grocery store and pushed him around in the cart, went to the drug store where they have little carts for the kids (so I was running after him trying to prevent him from running over other customers), we built legos together, played with of his wooden train set (the tracks went through his entire room), played with finger puppets, jumped on the bed, went to the playground and built some sand-castles, played with the bead roller coaster and I asked about the color of each and every bead, did laundry (he loves helping), not to forget the dancing and singing. I tell you, going to work is relaxing compared to that. I don't know how you SAHMs out there do it. But tomorrow I get to go to work and it is daddy's turn to entertain him :-))

I found a bunch of freebies today, take a look, leave some love for the designers, and download.

I'm addicted

I have to watch it over and over again - looks like I'm addicted. To what you're asking - to the new Ocean's 13 trailer. If you haven't seen it yet, you can here. I love Soderbergh movies and with Pitt and Clooney to top it off, I just can't stop watching. The end with the Oprah joke is just too funny. I can't wait to see the movie, what am I going to do till June? Well I'm off to watch the trailer again... See ya

Momma's night out and a new W&W layout

It was great last night. We met up with 3 old friends, had a fabulous dinner and chatted the night away. Just what I needed. Damien stayed the night at his grandparent's house and we're going to pick him up after nap-time. That means I had time for another layout. Here goes:
