Hello Everybody,

Merry Christmas! :D

So many of you have already posted wonderfully cheery Christmas greetings on my page already... for which I sincerely thank you! :) :) :)

I haven't been able to do any Christmas posting until now because my life has been bananas! Actually, I've been feeling a lot like a banana lately. :P

As many of you know, I work at a laser engraving shop where my daughter is my boss. (Yes, she's been going nuts too...) What's happened is that we've been bombarded with all kinds of large orders. One company that sends us 4,000 to 6,000 parts to engrave each month decided this was the right month to send us 15,000 parts. This is great for our business, of course, but oh, the timing!

I've been working many extra hours. My eating is rather off kilter; I'm beginning to believe that candy canes are one of the basic food groups. :P (The canes that haven't made it into my stomach are handed out to customers.) I still don't have my Christmas shopping finished. My Christmas wallpapers never really got finished either. I was hoping to get at least a dozen uploaded. Not anymore... looks like these 5 are going to be it.

Oh well, the rest can wait until next year. I've had a lot of fun with the ones that have made it up, with one exception. (I'm not going to tell you which one it is, but I will tell you that it had me laughing hysterically while my husband rolled his eyes up, because it gave me so much trouble!)

Thank you so much for the love, care, and patience you've shown me over these months. You guys are the greatest, and I'm so glad I know you all!

Christmas Hugs,

Elaine :)

Greetings everyone,

I hope you are doing well... and if you live anywhere near me, I hope you are managing to stay cool. With temperatures in the 90's that may not be easy!

I'm looking forward to being with family and seeing fireworks during the next few days. Here is what I wish for you;

To all of the Canadians who just celebrated Canada Day...and to all of the US Citizens who are celebrating Independence Day, I hope you've had or will have a wonderful holiday. :)

To everybody else... I sincerely hope that you are living in a country where you have freedom, not fear. If you don't live in such a place, I hope that you can get to a better place and make a new life there.

One thing is certain...freedom is a blessing that none of us should take for granted. I am so thankful to be an American.

Thank you all, for being part of Desktop Nexus. It would get mighty lonely around here without you!

Elaine :)

You never know quite what you might see at Eastertime. You might spot 6 white 2-headed sheep in the middle of a quilt...


A Flying Easter Cow...


Fashionable chickens...


Or even bunnies hatching out of eggs


It's also a time to celebrate Jesus Christ & what He did for us all. He went to the cross for us... and then to the grave.


But He didn't stay there!


Springtime. New life. A Holiday filled with eggs, bunnies, and excited children on candy hunts. The amazing love that God has for all of us. There is so much to smile about at Easter!

Have a truly beautiful one.

Elaine :)

PS. I've written my first journal entry in quite awhile, a painfully silly one, imo.:P If you have annoying aches & pains in your life, you might want to read it! :D Here is the link to it.

Yeah for Snow up to 3 inches of new snow! To me I love it watching the snow because I live by the Lake Michigan. We're having up to 25 mph and temp is 26 F and 17 F and 100% of tomorrow. The workers in the nursing home said that you have to drive only up to 30 mph and that is slow because they usually hit 65 miles. Hugs Judy

Hi Betsey,

I hope you are happy and well. I'm sure you're already enjoying this season & are looking forward to Christmas day itself. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you've likely already seen your first snow. I rediscovered something today; it's no fun to drive in, but sure is beautiful to look at! :D

It was a little hard for me to say goodbye to Autumn. Not only did we get less leaf colors than usual, we didn't get any snow in my area until 4 days ago! Usually I see snow by mid November, or at least by Thanksgiving.

We got about 2 inches of snow today; the most we've had in one day so far. Now that my yard is white, it finally looks like Winter outside. :)

My first 3 wallpaper designs are made entirely of Autumn leaves. My last one is made from one Autumn leaf, some orange & white berries, a shrub, and some snow that I added in. It's my first Christmas wallpaper of the year. (Most of you seem to be way ahead of me as far as that goes.) My Christmas Tree wall was the most fun to make, and it's definitely the snowiest one of the four. :)

Joyful greetings to a beautiful & meaningful season! Desktop Nexus is one of the best places to enjoy this season in my happy opinion.:D

Snowy Hugs,

Elaine :)

CollieSmilePosted by CollieSmile   11/23/17 at 8:24pm

It's Thanksgiving in the USA today... so I'm running around DN counting my blessings. And guess what? You are one of them!:D

Hugs,

Elaine :)

Hi Everybody,

I hope that you've had a nice Summer (or a nice Winter if you live south of the Equator!):)

It's been so long since I've gone profile hopping, almost 2 months! Time really got away from me... Part of the reason is that my husband and I finally went on a real vacation for the first time in years. Yes, we've done some weekend getaways, but you can only drive so far in one weekend... and you have to allow time to get back. lol

We ended up driving through the states of Ohio and Indiana. We deliberately chose country roads. We stopped at a lot of antique stores, among other things, and got to go to a County Fair in Ohio. A lot of the photos I took will end up on DN sooner or later, especially Cow photos for the Cows group!:D

The wallpapers that I uploaded today, however, are from my home state of Michigan. I took nearly 40 pictures of goldenrod! It was hard to choose the ones to upload!

At this point you are probably wondering why in the world I took so many photos of one kind of plant. Yes it's a beautiful plant, but 40 photos of it? Well-- the reason I did is--- THE BUGS! Not only do many varieties of insect love goldenrod... but they are beautiful as well.

I have only one regret about uploading these photos. I wish that I had brightened up the photos more so the insects would show up better in the small thumbnails. Oh well... at least it's easier to see them when they are enlarged.

Have a wonderful day/night! I'll try to get around more often after this... and check out what you all are uploading!

Warm Hugs,

Elaine :)
