Good Sunday!...Trying Something Out!...

Wow, I just spent half the afternoon trying to figure out how to put a background in this journal!  It took forever!!!  I hope it looks okay.  I hope it didn't take too long to download for you guys.  Let me know if it took too long to download or if it is too hard on your eyes.  It is an experiment.  I chose this background because we are ready to get a snowstorm here!  We are supposed to get 4 - 8 inches.  Winter actually has been pretty kind to us here in central Pennsylvania.  I remember back in '96, I believe it was, we got 130 or so inches of snow that season.  It was something else.  What have we gotten this season?  Not over ten inches.  Nuh-uh.  I don't think so.  So, winter has been pretty kind.  I guess I can't complain.  It's just that these storm systems really cause some terrible nerve pain, and well, that is no fun.  Oh well.  So, how are you all spending your weekend?  I  was going to get under the covers here soon and watch some movies and maybe have some warm tea or hot cocoa, so let it snow...

I wanted to thank all of you who took my quiz.  Krissy, my sister, actually got them all right!!  Yay!!  It is nice to know that someone knows everything about you - your dreams, your likes, your quirks!  Chelsea only missed one!  My Daddy was next and then my sister, Therese!  So, I guess my family knows me well.  As far as journal readers go, Smiling Sara and The Fair Colleen got 60% right!!  Way to go you guys!  That was a lot of fun!!  Thanks for taking part!  Hey, this background is kind of fun, too!  I promise I won't do too many, though, as it probably isn't too friendly on the eyes. 

So, not much to say today!  I really wanted to see if this background worked :-).  Have a good rest of the weekend!!  Hugs to all!! xox

  1. The background looks great Val, and not too hard on the eyes at all.  And it downloaded immediately.  Let's see, how will I spend my time in the next couple of days?  If the snow does continue to come down, I will sit around and do nothing, but watch some TV and drink some hot tea!  Maybe watch some movies! -Krissy

  2. I love the back ground! It looks good:) I hope you will enjoy that snow fall. I cannot even imagine getting 10 inches in one season, let alone 130! God Bless

  3. I like the background, Val, and it didn't take any time to load.  Now you'll have to teach me how to do it.  I'm going to rest for a couple more days - it's raining here, anyway.  Movies and munching, I think, lol!  Love Penny

  4. We're getting six inches of snow in NY. I remember 1996. Although, I thought it was 1995. It snowed from December to about April. I remember I had to wear hiking boots to work and put my shoes on when I got there. I love the winter so it didn't bother me.
    As for backgrounds. I'm a background and music hater. I put my computer on mute or I can't read the writing. This background isn't bad. It's readable. I've been to some where I just skipped reading because I can't see the print.

  5. This is brilliant, I would love to know how you did this. We too are expecting snow here in UK, it's very cold. If we get a real snowfall Iwill send you a photo. Don't get an awful lot of snow here normally. Take care, keep warm and well.

  12. I'm seeing several journals adding backgrounds.  This one was easy on the eyes, others have been hard and I have to go to add comments to read the entry.  This one wasn't nor was it slow in coming up on my screen. :-)  All is good.

  14. Putting backgrounds in is the next thing I have to learn, is it hard????  Made a nice change. The weather has turned arctic here as well, so cold with snow showers and heavier snow predicted tomorrow.  God bless you Val, dear friend xxxx
