Mediafire is for the birds....
I JUST GOT NOTIFIED TODAY (OCTOBER 7, 2014) OF ANOTHER WORDART BEING SUSPENDED BY MEDIAFIRE. IT IS A QUOTE THAT WAS POSTED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO (NOVEMBER 2012) I GOT THE QUOTE FROM THE SITE BRAINY QUOTE. I GAVE CREDIT FOR THE QUOTE TO THE AUTHOR OF THE QUOTE (AL GREEN), AND I USED A FREE FONT. I HAVE RECEIVED NO MONETARY COMPLENSATION AS I POSTED THE QUOTE AS A "FREEBIE". IT'S A GOOD THING I DECIDED MORE THAN A YEAR AND A HALF AGO TO STOP USING MEDIAFIRE.
Well, I have not even gone to my Mediafire files in more than a year and a half. I wonder how much "research" Mediafire does before suspending a file. Obviously they don't reach out to the "offending" party (in this case myself) to let them know what is going on. they just "poof" take it away and send mean nastygrams to the customer. Very poor customer service. I'm glad I have decided to not use them any more. I will be finding a new site to host freebies on for sharing. I will probably be starting from scratch, with a new blog and new name.
To my loyal fellow scrapbookers, I still appreciate all of you, and once I get things figured out, I will back sometime, probably with a more eclectic blog or website. (probably soon, I have been itching to come back!)

?????
Apparently, some wordarts I posted back in September have been in violation of mediafire's distribution policy. I just got the notificaion on this today. (January 29th) Huh? Why did it take so long for them to notice? Why has nothing else in my account been flagged? I've been using song lyrics and song titles and various fonts for serveral years now. What did I use in this particular set that was in violation as compared to other things I have posted and placed on mediafire that makes this particular set different.? If I was in voiolation, why didn't anybody else contact me first and tell me what I was doing wrong? I would have gladly taken down the set if I had know I was in any kind of violation. I don't even know what it is about this set that makes it in violation. And mediafire has put a "strike" on my account and may terminate my account. And my stuff s all free-- I'm not making any money off my stuff, and I do say that my items are for personal use only. ***sigh***

A New Home
Sorry I haven't been on here lately...I have just moved into a new apartment! My cat and I both love the new place. It's a nice one-bedroom in an older building. I'm upstairs and I have my own entrance and stairway. Hardwood floors, a small balcony porch, comfortable sized rooms. (Except the bathroom... good thing I'm not too prissy!) In-town, a mile from work, close to family members. If I ever get it in shape and decent looking, I'll post some pictures. Right now it still looks like a bombshell went off. LOL. I suppose that happens when most of your stuff has been in the last house 20-35 years. I was in my parents house before here. They were ill the last few years, and my daughter and I stayed with them. When I moved, we just threw things in boxes and I'm trying to sort it all out.
So...in honor of my new place, I've made some "home" themed wordarts for you. Hope you enjoy them!

Holiday editon of Wicked Wednesday--patterned papers
Today I have some holiday patterned papers that coordinate with last week's solid papers. The colors are just a teeny bit different ta the traditional colors, mostly the reds. The greens are pretty straightforward, however. I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season so far!

It's the holiday season!
Happy Wednesday to one and all! It's that time of year...again. I've got some solid red and green papers for your Wicked Wednesday gift today. Enough holiday in them to work on Christmas pages, yet plain and solid for general purposes, too. Hopefully you can use them for some of your projects. Enjoy, and thanks for checking them out!

Goodbye JR
Today I have a "double" tribute to Larry Hagman, the actor who gave life to the unforgettable JR Ewing. Even if you didn't watch the show, it seems as though everyone knows JR. Mr. Hagman brought this character to life as someone everyone loved to hate. I think he'd like that I'm using this quote of his today. And... the font I used is "Jeannie", modeled after the title letters used on the show "I Dream of Jeannie", another Larry Hagman classic. RIP, Larry.

Finally ...a kit!
It's been a long time since I posted a kit. I started making this kit yesterday, and I just couldn't stop until I got it done. It has 15 papers, 20 elements, an alphabet, 3 masks, and 6 wordarts. It is a celebration of my daughter's engagement, and I wanted a "fun" kit. I especially like the "she said yes!" wordart and the hearts border. I hope you enjoy the kit too.
(please note: the papers have two parts)

Support for storm victims
I was going to post part 2 of my John Denver wordarts this week, and then remebered that my Wicked Wednesday was actually going to be on Halloween, so then I decided to go with a "wicked" theme of wordarts.
THEN...Sandy struck. Fortunately, I was on the northern edge of the storm, so other than leaves and branches, there was not much damage in my area, especiallly when it compares to the mid-Atlantic states. I wanted to show my support for the area.
Just a couple of weeks ago, my daughter and some friends were in NYC. I have decided to post some of the wordarts I made for her trip and share them. I hope that in some small way I can show the residents, friends and relatives of those affected that we have confidence that the area will soon come back to life and restore some of its beauty and pride.
My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Wicked Wednesday "quickie" freebie
Happy Wednesday to all! Today s just a quick little freebie for you. I saw the "big whoop" on a whoopie pie at the store one day. It gave me a giggle for the day. :) Also, I love that Subway ad with the office workers in little kid voices, and the guy with the sandwich says "big whoop" with just the right attitude. Cracks me up every time!

Still Happy!
Yeah... I'm still happy here...I decided to make some more happy wordarts this week, too. Enjoy!

Hal David songs
This week I have wordarts from the lyricist Hal David. He was a gifted writer who wrote hits for many performers in the pop era. With Burt Bachrach, his songbook was quitte extensive, recorded by such artists as Perry Como, the Carpenters and Herb Alphert. Of course, the most famous collaboration was with Dionne Warwick. who made his lyrics come to life. I have made wordarts of just a few of his best known songs...there are so many more that could also be made into wordarts. Now that I've posted this, I can get back to humming "I Say a Little Prayer", which I haven't been able to get out of my head!

Another Wednesday, another freebie
It's an amazing world we live in, isn't it? Here we are, in the 21st century, doing so much that were only dreams just 50 short years ago. My wordart for this week honors the passing of the first person to step upon the surface of the moon, one of the most significant moments of the past 50 years. And this quote is one of the most famous quotes of the 20th century.
