  1. Woo Hoo! I'm going in for surgery on my right hand. It seems that the doctor that did my previous surgery didn't do both fingers: Middle, Pointer fingers. He only did my middle finger.

    Then I'm going to have knee replacement done probably around February or March.

    So I'll be able to get back to scrapping.

    Happy Holidays to all my friends.

      So happy to hear it. Looking forward to seeing your layouts in the gallery again after you recover. Hoping all goes well for both your surgeries.

      That's fabulous! It's such a relief when you have a date set up! I am three months post knee replacement surgery so I would love to hear how you go!

  2. Keep that brain working; see if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common?

    1. Banana

    2. Dresser

    3. Grammar

    4. Potato

    5. Revive

    6. Uneven

    7. Assess

    Give it another try....

    Look at each word carefully. You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer. This is so cool.....

     

    REMEMBER I ONLY SENT THIS TO MY SMART RELATIVES & FRIENDS. NOW DON'T LET ME DOWN.

    No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters....

    Answer is below: 

    Answer:

    In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.

    Did you figure it out? No? Then send this to more people and stump them as well. Then, you'll feel better too..... 

    I didn't get it either.

  3. It's partly sunny and around 88 degrees. Rain has stopped for the moment, but you never know.

    Hope everyone is well and enjoying their summer, for those who like this kind of weather.

    Can't wait for Autumn to come to New York and all those beautiful and colorful leaves.

      Carol, hope your health is okay. Still winter here in Australia but we did get a taste of spring for a couple of days early in the week then it turned cold again after some rain.

      Good to see you here...I hope you can pop in more often. Hot here in Florida but in A/C its nice. Then outside early morning and evenings.

  4. Hi everyone. Long time since I've been here. Got my two shots and had a reaction both times. My hands have been really acting up along with my knee. Don't know what to do about them, aside from a knee replacement. Ugh!

    Hope everyone is okay and enjoying the nice weather.

      I have you beat, unfortunately. Life had been SUPER hard and I literally just started scrapping again last year in November after I know 4-5 yrs of not hardly touching anything. I would buy a kit every now and then knowing I wanted to. But with work, my kids and grandkids and all their drama, (LONG STORY) I just couldn't do it. I have scrapped numerous ones though now, since picking it back up again and it makes me so happy. 

  6. Thanks for all your good wishes. Got my results back for Covid 19 today. Unfortunately, I am positive and so is my sister. We both need to stay quarantined until January 12th.

      That sucks Carol. Hope you feel better soon. ?

  7. I hope that all my SG friends had a wonderful and safe Chanukah, Christmas and a wonderful start to 2021. I'm going to get tested for Covid 19 in the morning. My friends cleaning lady was showing symptoms and ended up testing positive and she didn't bother to tell MaryAnn or Rickey about it. They were both here for Christmas dinner. Then I started to have some symptoms a few days ago.  Won't know results for a few days. Send some prayers my way.

  9. I want to change my signature, however, I forgot how to do it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    1. Mikelle

      Mikelle

      Hi Carol, I just now changed mine too.  Go to the drop down box in the upper right that has your name in it, and choose "Account Settings."  Then in the list on the left side of your account settings page, choose "Signature."  You should then be able to delete whatever you want from your current signature and add in your new images/links.  Don't forget to click SAVE at the bottom though.  I hope this helps!  Glad you're back!  

  10. I've not done any scrapping so far this year, so I need some help on how to create a background wallpaper.

      I'm MAC as well. You can look up the size of your screen and go according to that measurement to creat or re-create the background. 
      HERE is a link on how to do that for Windows 10. I hope that helps.

      Hi Carol, We sure hope your hands will let you scrap again, too. We miss you!

  13. I remember when Pirate passed away. He was a very sweet dog and I know how much you loved him.

  14. I had to put my cat Tini to sleep Thursday. He was not doing well: not eating, incontinent, crying and not walking very well. I miss him and I was with him when they put him to sleep, so that his mommy was the last one he saw.00021030.thumb.jpg.42e9e40919298058c108075fbbe8bbd0.jpg

      Well done Carol.  I do hope your hands are not preventing you  from doing the scrapping you want to do.

      I joined in May 2008

  16. Just purchased some new product, the first in quite a while. I'm going to try and create a layout. My hands are still giving me problems, but I'm going to give it a try.  It might take me a few days, but I'll give it my best.

  19. Just a short hello to all of my friends at SG. It's been a long time since I've been on the board. I was sick for weeks with Bronchitis and I'm still feeling yucky. Hope everyone is feeling good and enjoying their summer. I hope to get some scrapping done SOON, but my mojo has left me. Hopefully she'll be back soon.

  20. Are there any special instructions on how to use the ATC Coin? Can't quite seem to make one.

    1. Boatlady

      Boatlady

      Carol here is some directions that might help. There is the link to Angies free template too. PM me if you still have trouble.

      1. Create your ATC -card or coin with your interpretation of the theme. Your original ATC file should be 3.5 inches x 2.5 inches or 1050 pixels x 750 pixels (can be portrait or landscape orientation) at 300 pixels per inch. Be sure to sign and date your. Post your ATC to the gallery HERE , as well, to share with all of our members. The " trading coins" either 2", 2 1/2" or 3 1/2" circles. Angie was kind enough to make a template set and you can find the free link here.

  21. Love the new coin atc. I've been away too long, and just found this. Hope to be able to use it soon.
