Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances!
Thank you so much for all who have taken the time to say thanks, it's not required, as I give all I give freely, but I sure do love it and really enjoy reading them :) I have been trying to email some of you who leave such nice words on my chatbox, but some come back, don't want you to think I am rude, because I do try! Hugs Rainy
Along with my absolute passion for hand coding web pages, graphics and creating free digital scrapbooking kits, my main passion is my wonderful Yahoo group Sweetz! It's a wonderful collection of talented friendly people in a no drama setting, with the best moderators around! I think the only thing people complain about is the high volume of mail. But if you are prepared for that, you will enjoy the heck out of it.. :) If you decide to join, go to the group home, and read the page, so you fully understand what the group is about!
I definitley have a style or a signature!! The moment I learned how to create those shiny little brads, I thought they were so cool, and since that time I have included them in every kit since then! lol I hope it doesn't bother you. I use them to accent wordart, flowers. frames. actually everything I can think of, they are just the coolest elements!
I live in Indianapolis, around the corner from my wonderful son and his beautiful wife. I live alone with my cat Booboo Kitty (layout below). Most of the time I can find something graphical to do, either creating scrap kits or redesigning my pages. I love the net since you can meet people who would never have come into your life otherwise! From my friend Helen from Texas who I have known for almost 12 years, and talk to on the phone often, who is the sweetest spirit I know, to my friend Ln in Canada, who is such a sweetheart and also my mod, who I write letters to every day and who makes me laugh. And to my special friend Tammy in Michigan who adds so much to my life! :) love you girl! And my wonderful mods, Yeyi, and Pat who are there for me, emotionally and spiritually when I need it, who make me laugh almost daily! :) Thank you girls! And many more from other parts of the world who have just come into my life! And old friends who have come and gone! It's always sad to lose a friend, either because they no longer have a computer, or no longer are interested. There are always more to meet around every corner of the net! Gosh I love the internet!

I sure hope you like what I have done so far! Hugs Rainy
Check out my blog! This just had a new face lift and for once I think i really like it.
For those of you interested in seeing my Booboo kitty. Scared of anyone who is of the male persuasion. Not sure what happened to him before I got him. He barely tolerates my son. :) and is under the bed quickly if he hears a male voice. But beyond that, he is a sweet kitty and keeps me company! Got the name from watching Lavern and Shirley.. yes I know, I am dating myself. lol

For the last several days I have been messing around with my websets, cleaning up what I created 10 or so years ago, and adding new websets.. Some are really cute, even if I say so myself! They are not just for websites.. if you like some of the headers and bkgs, you can use them on your blogs, just right click, copy and paste to your own computer.. and upload them so you can use them for your blogs.. Come check it out.
Note: If you were a member of this group before and were unsubbed due to lurking, please come back! You won't be unsubbed for lurking if you lurk now! :) Be prepared for high mail volume! We have weekly challenges, color themes, and tuts! We share free scrap kits, brushes, preset shapes and masks, but mostly free scrap kits. Get ready to purchase a new hard drive! :). There are layouts created by the members showing off their creativity. We meet friends from all over the world which to me is the biggest plus. I have friends from different areas of the United States and other countries! Lurking is allowed, but hope you would want to share once in a while!(We just recently changed the lurking rule :) No partial nudity of any kind because this is a family safe group! Come join our fun no drama group!
Have you wanted to create your own page kits? Here is a tut that will answer some of your questions! It is really a series of mini tuts. Not the definitive answer, but it will help to get you started!
