Rather Frustrated

So I've been trying to do all sorts of neat things to my blog. Unfortunately none of them have worked. My main problem is that my Mom got me photoshop to go with my new computer for christmas, but the program is still in ID, and here I am in UT with no photo software:( So in order to try my hand at digital scrapbooking I've been downloading and trying out various free software that is offered on the web, and I have come to the conclusion that they all stink. Nothing is working. Bah. I'm just annoyed and wanted to vent. I should really just be patient because I will be getting this great software in about a week, but I really want to customize my blog and make it cool. Instead I've got boring blue and blah fonts. Oh well. If anyone has any advice let me know.

In a different vein my house is fairly clean, the girls are napping quietly, the laundry's going, dinner's in the crockpot, I even exercised this morning, and I have nothing I'm supposed to be doing, except that as soon as I wrote that I just thought of at least 5 things I should be doing. Rats, so now I'm just going to pretend I'm having a carefree moment:) But the snow is falling softly outside and it just feels like a nice wintry day. So despite boring backgrounds I'm happy. I hope you are too.




Here are some great pictures from Saturday. We have tons of snow this year and Brent and the girls took advantage of how wet it was. Brent immediately started to roll the two biggest snowballs he could to put on top of each other, the only problem was that they got so big he couldn't lift them. Hence there are two snowmen:) Which was fine because Laura wanted to have a Mommy and a little girl one anyway. Laura mostly made snow angels, and Eden kept taking off her gloves to pick up leaves being uncovered. The snowpeople have itty bitty baby carrot noses and bark smiles, but that doesn't seem to bother them any, a lesson for us all. I had a great time sitting on our porch with a blanket and happily snapping pictures. What a great snowy Saturday afternoon.

Becca, I don't have Kristi's number, she never emailed me, I've erased your message because it had your phone number. I'd suggest posting on Ali or Abby Dabell's blog, i think they have her number. Good luck!

Hey Abby,I have a solution for you. Come to Rexburg, I'll put the software on your computer and show you how to customize your blog. Great deal right?

Oh Abby-- I totally sympathize with you on the lack of program frustrations. I too am getting Photoshop in the next several weeks and am anxious to get my hands on it!

ABBY! I was going through the same thing, so I emailed a good friend and she gave me a website that takes you through EVERYTHING!! I don't know exactly what you want, but I changed the background paper to what I wanted. Check out her blog: sjhblogdesign.blogspot.com
