ITS BEEN A WHILE

yes, its been some time, since i was here last.
i have found a blog that suits my needs better than this one, altho...
i can customize the background, header, and side bars with this blog. makes me want too come back.
only issue is..it (this blog) DOES NOT push my posts in a chronological order if i date them.
the other blog (www.ourstory.com) does.

ill be back and forth with both, i think, because im getting an idea for a web presence, i really have not seen much of out on the internet...yet.

i see a bunch of it n the BLOG world, but main web page presence pages? not so much.

SCRAPBOOK WEB PAGE DESIGNS.

making, like what you see here on my blog, a WEB PAGE...
web pages can have several DIFFERENT pages within them...
so, lets say, your an avid cook, and you want too share your recipes with ppl, a click of a link on the home page can put you into a web page that has a scrapbook "themed" feel that has something to do with..kitchen, recipes, food, etc.

or, maybe, you had a baby...and you want to display updates, pictures, video of your newest arrival.
again, a click of a link and your on the page about your precious newest family member.
and the page would be catered too the desires of your heart, with look, feel, and wit and whimsy appeal...all to your design taste.

im serious about this idea.
not sure how well it will be profitable for me, theres a ton of FREE blog templates that have the same dynamic, but i think..ppl might be interested in a WEB PAGE that they can update and have freinds,family, and others connect too...

if im lucky, i can find a SOCIAL NETWORKING program that allows me too customize it, and ppl can also have their own: MYSPACE/FACEBOOK/TWITTER place that will do everything all the social networks currently do, the difference: SCRAPBOOK THEMES for the sites appeal, and look.

i have been scouring the net, looking at ppls blogs. downloading FREE embelishments, getting ideas, thinking up ways i can make MY web page look like im trying too offer others the chance too have.

i have too have a program 1st tho, PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS.
i have a book on how too use the program.

then..i can do anything!
and ill be doing it!

on a side note:

daniel has decided for the 2nd day in a row, hes refusing too go to seminary. he says he could care less if i inhibit his use of the XBOX360...(thats a lie, he was trying too get me too give in last night over it).
it pains my heart, i feel ive gotten him involved with church...too late.

we used too go when he was smaller, but his peers at the buidlding we attended didnt do much with him, let alone even talk too him, because we lived in lower standard homes (trailers) and they didnt. daniels clothes were thrift store type, hand me downs, not old navy, or anything remotley name brand and trendy.
scouts was hard for daniel..and as a result, i think because he had so little support in cub scouts, hes not too interested in scouts today...

but, beyond that, he doesnt like church. and seminary, is part of that. we had him sign a 'contract' that stated if he DIDNT go too seminary, hed have ALL priviledges associated too the internet (includes XBOX360) suspended until he decided too go back again, upon which the rights will be reinstated.

he says to me now: "i dont care if i dont play on the xbox."

he says that today, this is day 2 of this stand-off, i give him till saturday, when hell be begging me too let him on.

i have a similar rule for sundays church attendance, if he goes he can play xbox. if he doesnt, oh well.

change of subject again...

in a week craig starts a new job. oklahoma detention center. phone support.
he says hell be the ONLY one in there working tht job.
ill be happy when we have money again, its been really hard not having any, altho, we have not neded anything even if we didnt have what we were used too having.

the Lord has blessed us greatly, and im going too say..its because we have been diligent in paying our tithing.
we havent had a serious need for food, and what we did get from the bishops storehouse has lasted as long as 6 weeks before wed need another "2 week" supply. reminds me of the story of the woman who was making the last bit of food for her and her son, when a man came asking too be fed, and she said she couldnt, or her son would die and so would she. the man told her too feed him, and her reward (blessing) would be her oil and flour would never diminish...she fed him, and was blessed with oil and flour for a long while....faith. its all based on faith.

so, even tho i grumble because we have had a lack of fund, our needs have been met exceedlingly!

thats it for now...
ill keep updated on any progress.
