I’ve been working my tail off moving all of my shared files off of my iDisk since Apple will be discontinuing that service now that they’ve got iCloud) and re-linking the icons and clip-art in most of my older posts so those Freebies will still be available. It’s a rather tedious process trying to identify the images in each post and locate them on my numerous hard drives and back-up disks but as I do it, I come across some of my older work and wonder what the heck did I have in mind when I created that! 😉 So due in part to laziness (for the tedious stuff – not for the creative) and in part to coming across some wildly noticeable “Jaggies” and such, I’ve been touching up or recreating a great number of the images on those older posts. What this means to YOU is that even if you’ve read all my posts right from the very first one in July 2009, it’s worth your time to return to those early ones as you will likely come across many new icons and clip-art images that weren’t there before.

To make things easier, I’ve put together a list of the posts that I’ve updated so far.

Since my energy went into this project, for this morning the Freebies are a bit light. Enjoy!

It turned bitter cold today and we were treated to Cleveland’s lake effect snow, caused by north-eastern windows coming down from Canada and across Lake Erie. We’re just on the receiving end and the high winds blew the fallen leaves from our neighbor’s trees into our backyard. The way our home is situated on the property, and being at the bottom of one of the many rolling hills at this end of town, the leaves from ALL of our neighbors like to gather here each year. And so the bunnies , deer, and crows like to congregate here as well, snuggling beneath the leaves, and munching on our garden. A lot of suburban folks would be pulling out their hair, searching for critter repellents, and cursing Cleveland for it’s volatile weather. But for some reason, this is my favorite time of the year and I’m happy our yard can provide a small refuge.

Today’s weather and a phone call reminded me that Thanksgiving will be here next week. Kind of ironic that I needed that reminder, seeing how I’ve been spending a lot of time over the last couple of months creating holiday artwork for greetings cards and gifts. But the days all blend together for me as there really is nothing to distinguish one day from another – or even day from night, so it’s easy to lose track of the date. That’s a whole ‘nother post for another day, though. Today, I’m just enjoying the view out my bedroom window and trying to get into shape for Thanksgiving by going over my mental list of all that I’m thankful for this year. From the outside, it might look as if that list would be almost nonexistent, but from the inside I feel terribly blessed. The interesting thing is that the more frequently I focus on counting my blessing, the bigger that list becomes. Try it yourself and let me know whether it works that way for you, too. I’ve a hunch that it will.
