New Clipart

Here are some of the new clipart packages that I have published.

This first one is a Freebie, just because sometimes you need a header, and regular frames always seem to squish down and loose some details.

I'm rather proud of these little kids.  They took me forever to draw, and I never seem to know what color clothes to put on them. {Suggestions are ALWAYS welcome}.

These little guys I drew on a whim.  They are blank templates (but white filled).  I can think of a ton of things that you might use these for.

Enjoy!

THE TRUE SIZE GEOGRAPHY WEBSITE

So here is a lovely geography website I just found out about.  Why didn't I find this sooner? thetruesize.com

Ever want to compare the size of one country to another?  How big is Greenland to compared to California or Australia?  Not as big as you might suppose.
Here's how it works: simply enter the name of the country into the search bar at the top left.  The country is then highlighted.  Next drag that country on top of another country and you've got your comparison.  Simple.  Easy.  And enlightening.
Some countries are much larger, or smaller, than I was given to believe.  The Mercator maps tend to skew size a bit.
As for Greenland - it looks huge on the map, but it's really only about the size of Mexico, or India. The wonders I could share with my kids!  What fun.

TURTLES AND TURTLE SHELL PIECES CLIPART

Have you ever been incredibly behind, and just hope that if you do nothing things will sort themselves out?  Yes?  No?  Is it only me then? Well here is something that I made a couple of weeks ago and posted to my store.  It was a brilliant request by Robin at https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/A-Kentucky-Kindergarten.  

The shell labels would be great for math or language arts activities - match the shapes to the shell pieces, put a question (say 1+1) on the turtle shell and the answer on the shell piece.  Then match  the pieces together.  How Fun!

Robin, thanks so much for the request and I wish you well in all your endeavors.

SNOWFLAKE BOKEH PAPER

I've put this pack up on on TpT site.  I had a lot of fun creating it as well.  Enjoy!

GOLD DIGITAL PAPER PACK

So here ya go - I've been playing around and having fun on my computer.  I've created a few digital paper packs and posted them in my store.  Here is the Sweet Gold Pack.  Enjoy!

All My Desktop Folders Disappeared... BUT ...!

This'll teach me to eat and drink around my computer.

I spilled a couple of drops of drink on my keyboard, so I went to clean it.  And then...

I looked at my desktop and all the folders had disappeared!  The background picture was there but everything else was gone.  And I could go from screen to screen and see the folders briefly appear... but then vanish again.

I was SO STRESSED!  And this just after I had an emergency root canal done yesterday.  Sigh...

But I have the solution - and I feel so silly that I didn't realize this and had to call the tech desk at Apple to bail me out.

All I had to do was force quit the Finder and relaunch it.

EVERYTHING IS BACK!  Yay!

(So I'm just putting this here in case I forget how to do this - which I will - when it happens again.)

And to celebrate... here is a little banner for you to download and use.
(If you use it could you please provide credit back to me as per my Terms of Use?)

HI!

Just popping by to say HI!  And ... yes, I'm still alive.

I just don't seem to get here much.  But I'm working hard at drawing and family things, and such.

Have a lovely day and maybe a wee bit of an adventure.

Now... if I can just work out how to add a signature line... hmmm...

And I need to add some sort of line thing around the writing... and maybe change the background...  so much to do and so little time...

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
