New background.....

Hi everyone! Time has just been flying by and I have not been able to work on the computer or my crafts like I want too!! I hope to get working on crafts again this week and more free blog templates and templates for Ebay. When the kids went back to school I thought I would get to work on my crafts and templates more, but I have been doing all those chores around the house that during those summer days you just don't get around to. So today I really wanted to finish up two free blog templates and I did!! I even have one to list on Ebay tomorrow. It feels good to do it again. :)

The free new background is the one I am using. I like those cute girls!!

Below is the code for it if you would like to add it to your blog.<style type="text/css">body {background-image:url("http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii25/colleenscraftshed/blog/OGHall3.png");background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }</style><div style="position:absolute; top:30px; left:20px;border:0px;"><a href="http://colleenscraftshedd.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" width="91"src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii25/colleenscraftshed/blog/bbutton2.jpg"height="94" /></a></></div> The other fall background I will post tomorrow because it is time to tuck in my little guy for the night.

Quiet in the house....

My kids went back to school yesterday and my house is so quiet! I miss there voice's ,the sound of them playing. Oh don't get me wrong I do enjoy the peace of the house but I do miss my kids. I am working on a new free template so hope to have that posted soon. And I am working on templates for christmas, some halloween items yet and some more free graphics to use on blogs. After the holiday weekend, I need to get working. LOL I have some pictures that I had taken the last couple of weeks and today I played with this one today.... I had snap the shot of the sunset on our way home from visiting with my older children. It was such a pretty sunset. Then I added one of my favorite writings... Your welcome to right click it and use it on your blog if you want too. Take care and God Bless Colleen

A nice weekend and a New dolly!

It is Sunday evening and it has been a nice weekend. Erika and I went to a bridal shower on Saturday and had a nice time. On Sunday we just stayed home. We picked 8 more ice cream buckets of blackberries today. Still about another 3 buckets out there to pick that we could not finish. So far this year we have picked 31 ice cream buckets. It has been crazy!! I did get to finish up a raggedy annie that I have been working on for several weeks. I call her "Watermelon Annie....

She is a tiny girl at 12". She is sweet just like a watermelon. :) I will be listing her on Monday.

Early this morning I listed my ghost ornies. You can find them on Etsy or my website.

Hope you all have a good start to the new week tomorrow!

Till next time

Summer Days

The summer is flying by. We have been getting alot of rain this July. But last week we had a few sunny days and the kids did our annual cement block for the summer. Here we are mixing it... Don't you like the swim mask Erika is wearing. Makes her look like a mad scientist at work... Then mom poured it into the form and the kids smoothed it all out... And then the fun begins...decorating it up. We used beads, glass tiles, letter beads It is fun just to watch them pick out the right bead and put it in Here is the finished project still wet And here it is all dry..I have to do a little creative painting on Andrew's name. There was only one R and Erika used it first so we used a P and now Mom has to do a little painting. :) These are the blocks we did in 2007, 2008. We missed making one last year. We are enjoying summer! Colleen
