I found it to be a hassle when I had to click through too many folders after unzipping. I did not understand why there were so many extra folders!
I hope this helps some of you who may be having the same problem. I am not sure I described it well enough, but I hope you are able to understand and that it helps you.

5/17/13 Arrow Prayer: Jesus, I have some friends who are sensitive to being non-techy. As a techy person, help me to be considerate of their sensitivity and keep us all into perspective that compared to You, we are all way behind the time.

5.16.13 Father, You know me well. You know I wake every morning and plan mini goals for the day and what I want to get done. Sometimes it makes me feel down when I do not get my goals done. Last night I received not one, but two bits of big bad news and my heart sank and I just could not work on my goals. My bad news reminded me that life can get cut short. What if I do not get to do all I want to do before the time You have planned for me? I am reminded that whatever I do today, or tomorrow, or the next day, or in my lifetime, will be enough as long as it is done for You. I thank You for all activities You have blessed me with, whether it is enjoying the day relaxing, accomplishing tasks, talking and building relationships, or just spending time in thought. (Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.)

I'm blogging out of order! I vow to myself to catch up! These photos are out of order too! Ah!
So I blog backwards! Oh, that is too hard.
On Friday I texted my son and told him to go to my friend Sherry's store and have her choose a Mother's Day gift for me and wrap it, and he could pay for it and give it to me! All men need a little help from woman in their lives to choose for other woman, right?
I came home three hours later and asked him if he had gotten my text and his reply was, "You've never spent this much money on me for my birthday!" Oh, that makes me smile every time I think of it.
So I was anticipating what it would be for two days! Anticipation is fun!
After church, he gave me the gift and it was this Vera Bradley bag for my iPad!
Here is a better photo that is not so blurry. I love green, and especially lime green lately, so the print is perfect for me. I do not often like many Vera Bradley prints, but I do like this one. The black, grey, and white with splashes of lime green is perfect for me!
I take my iPad to church because it contains my Bible and often wonder what people think of me carrying it around, so now I can hide it! It can be put inside or on either outer pocket. There's enough room in the pockets for my keys and cell pone and other things that I might grab from my purse, so I only have to take in one bag. Cool, huh?
Here is the pretty wrapping it came in. It's the prettiest wrapping job my son has ever done for me! Giggle
I told him that at least every time someone comments on my iPad bag, I can brag about my son, so it's all a good thing.
I did get a text from my youngest son right after we returned home from church, but he did not answer his phone when I called right back. I thought that was all I would get from him, but then as we were getting in bed at 11 p.m., the phone rang and it was him! That was sweet! Yes, I do not care what time it is, just call mom!
Hubby and I decided to go to the winery near where his mom is buried (for Mom's Day) and we had a nice afternoon, but did not stay all that long. I was exhausted all weekend. I had even slept 11 hours the night before which is a very long time for me. Usually I sleep about 6.
I began wondering why Ria's first bag did not fit for her. We bought a new $5 bag and it is not sturdy, but tried it just for size. I realized it was an inch less in width than her first bag, but just a few inches taller.
So we tried out her bag again, because I do not like taking her inside the winery on a leash, and here she is in the photo saying, "let's go, mom! it's mom's day!"
She is in it backwards and it works well. The cut out on the other end is supposed to be for her face and it is funny with her little tail sticking out there. She tends to slide out on that end.
So, we need a bag just like this, but a bit taller.
She loves her bag still. She gets right in it and it is so cute! She knows it means we get to go out!

Goodness! This was timely! Just when I am all down today about the website and having thoughts once again of closing it down, I read an unexpected prayer!
Off and on I think about why I keep doing what I am doing and whether it is what God would have me doing or whether I should be doing something else, especially as the site continues to go downhill financially.
I have thoughts of low self-esteem, thinking it is probably my personality or ways I've rubbed people the wrong way that are the reason. I certainly cannot work much harder. I wish people would really know my heart and who I am. It just makes me cry to think my own stupid self could be the reason I fail at everything . . . literally cry! Like now, with tears running down from my eyes as I type. I try so hard to be good and loving and accepting and caring ... yet people take one small thing I say the wrong way, not the way of my heart, and want no more relationship with me.
I think about all the people who have gotten their digital scrapbooking start here at HW and then move on and never come back. Why do they not stay? What can I do better? Should I quit?

Last night I made these 26 papers. Wow! It sure takes a long time to design! I made a few elements too, but the kit is just getting started. These are basic papers and I may add some more theme specific prints later, after I make some shapes for the kit.
This is a themed kit I've wanted to do for a long time and that has been my focus lately to get things off my laptop that have been on my to-do for a long time!
Of course, while I'm working behind the scenes, it seems I'm doing nothing to those who do not see me online.
It was a beautiful night outside last night and I sacrificed it to work. I hope I do not regret that.
