Be Creative and Customize Your Own Invitations

I came across a site today, that caught my eye. I love anything that makes my life a tad bit simpler. Being able to make custom cards, from Holiday Greetings to Business cards to custom made Photo card invitations from the comfort of my home is a go for me.

I simply don't have the time to shop for cards in the stores. With 2 little ones, it's exhausting to try to stand and go through the cards and read them with a 2 yr old and a 2 month old fussing in the shopping cart.

What really caught my eye, were the Photo Card Invitations. I can write anything I want on the outside and the inside of the cards. The design writing on the site is just an example, you can change it to anything you want.

My 2 year has a birthday coming up, and what was really neat, was that I could make personalized Photo Card Invitations.

It was so simple and easy. I chose the custom greeting cards, and then picked out the design that I wanted.

I then uploaded the file from my computer that I wanted for the front of the invitation. The next step, I chose the custom verse. I then typed in the information for her party, and picked the color and text that I wanted.

It ended up looking like this.




CardsDirect specialize in crafting high quality Full Color Custom Greeting Cards that can even insert company logo or special artwork. Whether you need a custom Thank You card or custom Birthday card for corporate clients or maybe an All Occasion card for a special event, CardsDirect can make it. They can print your special artwork or a photo in full color, black and white, or sepia tone on the front of the card. Need a verse? They have many preprinted verses to choose from or you may write your own custom verse.

My next order with them will be for Personalized Christmas Cards, I can't wait to see what I can come up with. I was kinda leaning towards this layout, since we just moved to Florida, and maybe having the verse say something like, Having a Blast in Paradise, Wish you were here, Merry Christmas and Wishes for a Happy New Year, from...and then Our Family Name.

It Is What It Is!

Well, being the Techno Retard that I am...and I wear the badge proudly...I screwed up my blog once again. This time real bad! So...looky what I did at 2 am..I made a new header..YES, I did it all by myself. YOU might laugh at it and roll around the floor laughing your ass off, but I LIKE IT...and actually I'm kinda proud of myself that I could do it...even if it's not centered right..so what..I did it. I made it in Paint, because even tho I don't know how to use paint..I could faint when I open Photoshop..I get all woozy and light headed. So, this is what it is for now, unless of course some kinda soul takes pity on me and offeres to fix it. HAHAHHA Now I am laughing my ass off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE: Ok..so far I have the original template back up. Now I have to fill my side bar in with all my useless stuff! I am getting so sick of doing this over and over again. I wish my fingers would fall off before I touch this stupid template again.

Gotta take a whiz?






This is too freaking funny!!!! Click on the link and take a look at this product.

Man no 'Whiz' at urine tests He is caught with device
By Jim Smith
Eagle Staff Writer

Advertised as "undetectable"and "foolproof" for beating urine drug tests, the so-called "Whizzinator" proved otherwise for a Butler man.Ryan Dennis Hartzell, 26, of Evans City is accused of using the convoluted contraption during a recent visit to the Butler County Adult Probation Office.He was caught — literally — with his pants down, wearing the device rigged to look like a fake penis and bladder.The arrest was a first for longtime county Detective Pat Cannon, who on Tuesday charged Hartzell with a misdemeanor count of furnishing drug-free urine. "I never ever heard of 'The Whizzinator,'"he said. "I've arrested people for using balloons or other things to beat urine tests, but nothing like this."Hartzell's latest trouble with the law came March 26 when he reported to the probation office for a urine sample. That was part of the terms of his probation stemming from a 2007 conviction in a theft-related case.But the sample didn't look right to probation officer Joe Gigliotti.The defendant was told to lower his pants, which revealed "a tube protruding from (his) boxer shorts,"according to court documents.He admitted it was no ordinary tube, but was The Whizzinator. He said he bought the device on the Internet."(Hartzell) admitted the purported urine that he supplied to Gigliotti,"documents said, "was not in fact urine at all."The Whizzinator, according to its Web site, is a urine substitution device. It delivers a toxin free urine sample through a light weight apparatus that is worn under clothes.The product sells for $150; its home page states the dehydrated urine used with the device is sold separately.The phony specimen, produced by blending water with the urine powder, is placed in a bag attached to a belt. When Gigliotti described The Whizzinator to Cannon, the veteran detective initially couldn't believe his ears."I thought he was kidding me,"Cannon said.

Bug's Bread

Hamburger Bun's, Cinnamon Loaf and Hoagie bun's rising

I have been using this recipes for about 20 years. I love it. It's simple and easy and other than mixing everything together, not much work. I raised 3 boys so this makes a lot of bread. I usually always make hamburger buns.Today since it was nice and hot and humid, I decided to make some bread....mmmmm the house smells so good.



BUG'S BREAD



SMALL BOWL

2 PACKAGES OF YEAST

2TSB SUGAR

1/2 CUP WARM WATER

STIR AND LET SIT FOR 5 MIN



VERY VERY LARGE BOWL

14 CUPS FLOUR ( I use about 12 or 13 and then keep adding until it's not sticky)



LARGE BOWL

2 EGGS

1 1/4 CUP SUGAR

1 TABLESPOON SALT

I CUP OIL



MIX WELL, THEN ADD THE YEAST MIXTURE, POUR YEAST MIXTURE INTO FLOUR AND CLEAN THE YEAST BOWL OUT BY ADDING 4 CUPS OF WARM WATER TO THE YEAST BOWL AND POURING INTO THE FLOUR ONE CUP AT A TIME.MIX WELL



LET RISE 2 HOURS UNTIL DOUBLE IN SIZE...PUNCH DOWN, LET RISE AGAIN FOR 2 MORE HOURS. SHAPE INTO BUNS OR BREAD OR WHATEVER YOU WANT, THEN LET RISE UNTIL DOUBLE. I USUALLY LET RISE FOR ABOUT 5+ HOURS..DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER.BAKE AT 375 UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN. FOR SOFT TOPS, WIPE THE TOPS OF THE BUNS WITH BUTTER AFTER TAKEN OUT OF THE OVEN AND STILL HOT. THIS MAKES A LOT OF BUNS. ENJOY!

Whirl Wind

So, I guess everyone thinks I dropped off the face of the earth or something. Nope, that didn't happen. What did happen, was ..drum roll please... Mini Bugs baby brother is now with us. Yes that is right! Mighty Bug who is now 2 months old is now a new member of our family. It took awhile and much stress and many court hearings to get him down here, but he is here and safe and sound!
So....I now have a 2 1/2 yr old AND a 2 month old. Call me crazy, but I love it! Yes I am stressed out, but it's a good stress. Well, not the potty training part..that I don't love, and I will blog about that in another post. I need help with that one people! Oh my gosh, Might Bug is adorable. He looks just like his sister, and is the best baby in the world. He sleeps all night most nights. He only fusses when he has gas...he does tend to be gassy..hmm. Cute as a button I tell ya and he has totally stolen my heart. My husband and I are in seventh heaven. Blessed we are, that is for sure. (remind me of this when he starts teething please)!!!
So, please forgive me for being missing in action. My plate has been very very full...and some days I didn't know if I was coming or going. I'm on solid ground now.
It's nice to be back...and I'm looking forward to "seeing" you all again.
Oh by the way...if your not on my blog roll..its because I screwed up my blog sometime back..please just leave a comment or something and I will add you again. If you don't, I won't remember how to find you to read you..and I DO want to read you again.

I Signed Up for PPP

Several of my blogging friends have been telling me about Pay Per Post for some time now. At first I didn't understand the whole concept, and put it in the back of my head.

I have been thinking about going back to work part time. With 2 little ones to raise, and the price of everything going thru the roof, it seemed like a good idea. Plus I would like to pay all of my bills off. I really don't like the idea of leaving the kids to go to work. Then I remembered about . Oh yeah I thought, I can do that. I blog anyways,(well, not so much lately) but I have been blogging for about 3 years now...it all started with MrsHellonHells.

So I signed up for PPP. It's simple and easy. Heck if I can do it, and I'm techno retarded, then anybody can do it. You blog, you get paid...just that simple. Now I can stay home with my kids, and earn the money to pay off my bills...how cool is that huh! I think it will be fun to join in with my other friends who are blog marketing I have had many different jobs in my life, this is just another exciting new adventure!
