More ramblings

I’m printing some pictures to scrapbook.  I mostly only have Disney pictures, and a few of Alex (I think… might have scrapped them all already!) and I’ve barely scrapped ANY holidays this year.  I am mostly an "event" scrapper, though I tried (rather in vain) to do a "Week by week" of Sammi… and it was going oky, until my camera broke, and I couldn’t really take any pictures of her.  So I am HOPING to do a week by week of Alex, only I have to get my wishblade, which is a computerized cutting tool.  It cuts paper.  It’s a VERY cool machine.  I’ve had it about 3 or 4 years now.  It hasn’t been used much lately, but when I did swaps, I used it a lot for titles.  I like it best for cutting out letters.  It beats out ANY die cutting system out there, hands down.  I just am afraid to use it, because I haven’t had the money to buy new blades for it, and if I ruined my blade, I’d be dead in the water.  Plus, I need to get a PC up and running to do the week by week.  Though THAT is going to be a LOT of work.  I should hook up the old PC and fire it up and see if it works.  If it doesn’t, I should take the hard drive out, stick it in the freezer, THEN see if I can get it working long enough to take all the files off it and move them over to a new PC.  I wasn’t "in love" with that PC, but I could do things with the wishblade that I can’t really DO very easily with the Mac.  So having a PC would be…useful.  It’ll be nice to use it again.  And this time, I can do some page planning around my pictures.  I’m going to use the same font I used for Sammi’s pages, because then I can use some of the letters I already cut.  I just want to do some in red as well, because red is a popular color for the girls to wear.  Alex wears a lot of pink, because that’s what I got from the lady who freecycled the clothes to me.  But I am very fond of purple (who knew?  LOL…) and of red actually.  Shabree’s two favorite colors are purple, and red.  Mine is obviously purple, but I am getting to where I have a LOT of red clothes myself… and truthfully, I look HOT in red.  Jerry will back me up on that one (but that man thinks I look pretty good anyway.)  Speaking of purple, I went to the store tonight, purple sweats, lavender top, lavender jacket, and lavender purse!  I was DECKED OUT in purple.  I was truly "purple girl" HA.

I had a paper jam…what a pain to fix.  So I had to go and pick out my pictures again, otherwise it would have printed the first page again, and I’d have repeats.  Now, the kids will take repeats off my hands just fine, but it’s still a waste.  I may have to hang onto this printer for a very long time, because I KNOW how it works, and I know what to do to make sure I get good prints.  My very first Epson printer was an 880, and I loved that printer, it was pretty awesome.  Then I had an Epson which I forget the model, but it was a PAIN, and I could never get a really GOOD print from it, though the prints were supposed to last 100 years.  Problem was, the ink was EXPENSIVE, and you couldn’t use just ANY paper, it had to be EPSON photo paper for this type of printer.  I got rid of that printer pretty quickly, and I believe my R300 was my next one… I got it off their refurbished web page for 100 dollars, and I love this printer.  Then, of course, I have my R1800, and I love it too, but I need to figure out HOW to get ink for it.  Maybe I can use the "credit" card (which is one of those Wal mart add money to the card cards.  It’s pretty cool.) It doesn’s seem to be ink that I can just "pick up" at any office supply store. 

Well, I need to pump, so I am going to post this.  Can you believe, I actually titled this before I wrote it out?  Of course, I nearly ALWAYS ramble.

OH!  Before I forget, the baby rolled over twice tonight.  I think she was not so much UNABLE to roll over, as afraid to.  Like I said before, she has the ability, just doesn’t WANT to.  I had her on her tummy about a total of 30 minutes today, and I will do it again tomorrow… GOT to get this child mobile.  She needs strengthening

Hm… my spell check isn’t working… wonder if that’s a mac thing?
