3.1.2008 - TWO FREEBIES! March Desktop Wallpaper & Grateful Word Art

AND...

Bet you didn't see THAT one coming did you!!??

So.... you thought with everything going on this week that I would forget didn't you?? Well i DIDN'T! Ha!

Here is March's Desktop Wallpaper for your computer... I used the papers and elements that I contributed to the Digital Candy Charity Kit "Have a Heart". If you haven't picked it up yet, you really should. It has A LOT of great stuff in there for A LITTLE bit of money...and it goes to a great charity; the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF...get it?? LOL)

The movers are gone and our house is empty :( I've come to realize that there are two kinds of stuff in life. There is "stuff" and there is "stuff to put stuff in or on" Now I am left with an empty house and all kinds of little "stuff" that dh, the kids and I just "can't do without" for the next 5-6 months or so until we're finally settled and get all of our other "stuff" back. (You know, laptops, iPods, Gameboys, makeup, clothes, tv's, the Wii, school supplies...the list goes on...) BUT, I've quickly realized that the movers have taken all of our "stuff to put that stuff in or on!" and now I'm left with too much "stuff" and no where to put it!!! (we can't exactly keep it in the bathroom where we had it safe from the packers (who WILL by the way pack anything and everything - including garbage - lol) I mean my kids WILL have to take a bath eventually! LOL

So I'm busy coming up with some creative storage solutions to hold our "stuff" that won't look to trashy to prospective home buyers! LOL I'm ALSO busy working on a new TUT for you guys for tomorrow's post! It should be a good one so don't miss it! I'm going to show you guys how to do a super quick and easy way to place your photos into cluster frames (or whatever) and you'll be placing them into a QP made with my new Tiptoe kit!

BTW, I love all the comments you guys have been sending my way. I think it's kind of funny that designers post "I wonder" questions into forums for other designers ("I wonder what my customers think of..." "I wonder what will happen to my business if I..." and me? I just ask you guys and quit wondering! LOL)

Enjoy your "double freebie Friday", I'm heading to the beach for an evening of relaxation and a bit of a cool down!! password? twofreebies

1.31.08 Surprise! February Desktop!

You thought that I forgot didn't you?? Not a chance! Taking a one day break from our Butterfly Brag Book, just to get you the February Desktop!

This time I've included the PC version (pictures on the right side) and the Mac Version (pictures on the left side) in the same file, so simply use the one you want and discard the one you don't!

So for those of you keeping track of Cari's trip to Hawaii and all of our antics... We went to the "swap meet" today. It's a huge flea market of sorts that surrounds Aloha Stadium and has some pretty good shopping at REALLY good prices and it is THE place to go on Wed and Sat mornings for souveniers and gifts when you're on Oahu...then we were off to the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor - although it was literally my 17th trip to this amazing monument to our fallen soldiers on the USS Arizona, it always leaves me somber and thankful for those brave men and women willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for our country. After the Arizona, we went for a "local style" lunch at L&L Drive In (mmmm.... orange chicken, sticky rice, chicken fried noodles and crispy won ton) and then off to Haliewa, a GREAT little town on Oahu's North Shore for a little shopping and lastly a stop at my favorite "little known" spot on Oahu...it's a little cove just past Haliewa called Laniakea or "lani's" - if you ever get a chance to visit Hawaii, you simply MUST visit here! (click on the link to see why!) My kids love this beach and beg to come here often! All in all it was a pretty darn good day!

So here is your desktop and I'll see you tomorrow with more brag book pages!!

Aloha!

1.09.08 January Desktop Freebie (better late than never right?)

Ok, so I had started making these desktop wallpapers for a new kit at Digital Candy but they turned out so darn cute that I wanted to share them with my bloggers instead!! LOl Here is January's, I made it with my Cold & Cozy Kit -I promise to have February's to you BEFORE the month begins!! LOL

BY THE WAY.... having installed my first one on my own computer, I realized that we Mac users (I'm very new one, but die hard...I'll never go back to a PC again!) have been getting the short end of this stick! LOL Mac has all of their desktop icons on the RIGHT side of the desktop (PC on the left) so most scrapbooking desktop wallpapers are covered up for us! WELL NOT AT PINEAPPLE PLANTATION DESIGNS! LOL I have TWO downloads for you guys, one for PC users and one for MAC users. Keep in mind, they are both .png files, both safe for either computer, it's just that one has the frames on the right, one on the left!

To use the wallpaper: use it just like a quick page, but it's tiny, so your photos will definitely have to be resized...just use your move tool to shrink them down considerably put them in the frames of the quick page and save as a .jpg just like you would a regular scrapbook page. Then use your computer display settings to set that "picture" as your wallpaper!

Lastly for today, thank you so much for all of your support and kind words on my new little venture! I hope to have more up in the store soon, and I'll post previews of my kits and items on the blog so that you get a sneak peek! (see my barcode tag kit there on the left?)

Aloha!
