Groveling Gift

In an effort to make things up to everyone for being MIA for a month, today I'm posting a link to Lisa Vollrath's very cool holiday downloads. The best part? They are free! She only asks for a link in return, to share the holiday festivities. I've seen the first set - some adorable postcard ladies are the gift for December 01 - and you can't go wrong with these. They are lovely! She's offering a new download gift everyday from December 01-25...so don't procrastinate!

To take advantage of these great downloads, check out Go Make Something - just one of Lisa's websites. (She's a busy woman!) Clicking on the title of this post will also get you there. Thanks, Lisa!

I haven't been online much since the death of hard drive - since I'm stuck using a pieced-together machine that actually belongs to the beasts, it can take 45 minutes to load one page or one email message. The Queen is much too impatient & busy to wait that long! I have been trying to keep an eye on email and a few of my very favorite sites as time allows - so if you need my Royal Hineyness, drop me a note. I will respond as soon as the Kingdom allows.

The good news in all of this? I have been creating all sorts of art! If this computer could handle photo editing software - or even just the addition of my camera! - I would post some awesome eye candy for you. But for now you will take to just take my word for it. I have my fingers and toes crossed that Santa brings a new laptop for Christmas - but I'm not sure yet where I fall on the whole naughty vs nice list. If you see the Big Guy in Red, please put in a good word for me. After the year Ive had Id like to think karma would cut me a little slack!

I will keep checking in as I can - I hope you all are being good and creating some great art. Enjoy your last few days of 2007 - and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
