I am trying to get my last Christmas designs out here before it is too late. Where has the time gone... Just yesterday I finished all of my Christmas shopping and it feels so good. We just buy for the kids in our families, so it is actually pretty fun.
But as the kids get older the shopping gets more challenging. Duke just turned 14 and I asked him to make an Amazon list of things he loves. I gave him two weeks because I know he is slow. So a few days ago I checked his list and he had a total of four Star Wars miniature games. All variations of the same (boring) game, priced from $31-$90.
I told him that it would be great if he could add some additional ideas on his list, and he turned to me and said "I have no idea what I want, I need more time!". If he doesn't know what he wants, how in the world can I figure out what to buy him? So yesterday, after consulting with Paul, I made some decisions and bought his gifts so they would have time to arrive before Christmas.
I told him last night I was done and he said "I hadn't finished my list!".
"So, what did you want to add?" I asked him.
"I don't know, I need more time to look" he told me.
I had to explain that the ship had sailed and he was going to be happy with what we picked out and he seemed quite relieved.
Meanwhile, Isaac told me exactly what he wanted down to every last detail last month. Both my boys are so different!
Today I have a set of 10 large glitter-gold frames. You can add images and print them or post them on your social media or website/blog. They are simple png files so you can use them in any editing program. Simply open the frame, drag and drop your image below the frame, and resize the image to fit.
Here is a screenshot of how you use the frames. Drag your image under the frame and resize it to fit.

I have been reading your blog for years now and I cant believe how much your boys have grown. I was shocked to see that Duke is 14. I remember all those frowning baby faces that I use to see in your examples, "like mom why are you making me do this". Thank you for all your time and free post. Your work is wonderful and the actions actually work with Photoshop Elements.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and fun filled New Year.
Tell me about it Janet, I am shocked how much my boys have grown too! They used to be my constant models for this blog, but now I try to use stock photos and just take snapshots of them for my photo albums. And thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I love this blog and I love creating free designs for it.
DeleteMerci beaucoup Rita for these elegant frames ! ♥
ReplyDeleteI smiled at the so awaited list story. Was he still wondering whether he had been nice or naughty ? That is THE one question. :D
I wish you and your family a "Joyeux Noël". ♪♫
