Dear Someone

Dear Bloggy Friends,

I have missed you! I am so sorry it's been so long, but my stinkin' computer DIED on Monday! Then there was a lot of drama in replacing it, and I didn't have internet access, and I went nearly insane feeling like I was "out of it" with all my favorite blogs, and I feel like I've missed so much!

I promise that I love you, and have not forgotten you. I am working on getting around to visit everyone, just give me some time!

I hope you still love me,
Xazmin



Dear Everyone,

The new thing at Best Buy is this: They are really pushing the Asus brand laptop. Don't do it. I fell for all their fancy talk about Asus being top of the line, and making all the components for all the other brands. I gave in, and then regretted it. I had my Asus laptop for less than 20 minutes before deciding I hated it. Fortunately my computer fix-it guy gave me his opinions, one of which happened to be "if I were to go buy a laptop today, it certainly wouldn't be an Asus". I took my Asus back the next day (which added another torturous day of no internet!) and purchased my new HP which I LOVE!

Sincerely,
The Girl who hopes you learn from her mistakes.



Dear ABC,

Brilliant! How excited am I that THIS guy will be a contestant on the upcoming season of DWTS?



If y'all don't know who Evan Lysacek is, (are you living under a rock or something?) go find out here, and see why I love him so much!

The one who will be tuning in, (and this time I mean it!),
Evan's #1 fan.



Dear jerky computer hackers,

I can't believe you hijacked the code for my Ribbon Blossoms website. You totally messed up the giveaway I was planning, because now people can't browse my site without being constantly redirected to a bunch of spam websites. Thanks a lot. Seriously, don't you have anything better to do with your time?

Glad you're back, sorry about the computer.

I'm a MAC lover and knock on wood have never had any problems!

I apparently live under a rock since I have no clue who that is.

Hackers suck!

Happy Thursday!

I like our Dell. Asus, huh? Sounds too close to Ass-Us.

I saw that DWTS line up and immediately thought of you.

Ugh! I hate computer problems! I keep telling my kids "Aren't you supposed to be solving MY computer problems and not the other way around?" haha Anyway, I'm glad you were able to get a computer that you love.

Thanks for the scoop on Evan...I didn't know that and I do watch the show. I'll look forward to your updates, my cyber friend!

Oh computer problems...I hear ya! My husband replaced my old laptop with a Dell laptop and I don't have the heart to tell him that I hate it! It's probably just a matter of getting used to it...I have a hard time with change, obviously!

Can't believe someone hacked your site!! Don't people have better ways of spending their time than making innnocent people's lives pure hell??

I missed you! But, then again, I've been MIA too, for no good reason. Glad to have you back! And I am right there with you about DWTS! Hope he goes far, and that Kate Gosselin, Pamela Anderson, and Shannon Douherty (sp?) get booted early...

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t
