Here is my Bustizzle Outeezy "Cloverleaf " design for Good Luck!

Tomarrow is the final day of the SEO competition in my Web Production class ~ I have created this clover leaf at Tagxedo, to hopefully give me some extra luck to win!


Big Thanks to everyone who visited my site, or linked to it...I'm very grateful that you were willing to help me out!

I'll let you know on Thursday how I do in the final competition results!

Until then,
Remember to "Bustizzle Outeezy" from Gallery Grrl!

Can't go to the Kentucky Derby? Play this free online horse adventure game instead!

OK, Like most ordinary folks, you'll watch the 2011 Kentucky Derby on May 7th, from your TV, computer, or mobile device. But, if you get the Horse racing fever, there are free online horse games to play instead!
I found a very cute and kid friendly game for free at http://www.horse-games.org/Peny_Courageous_Ride.html.







In this game a cute character named "Felicity" rides her beloved horse, "Penny" to find her pal "Ben" and picks up points along the way. The game is easy to play, and the background music is quite charming. It's also interesting that the main character is a girl that looks like she could be one of the "American Doll" models  from the 1800's! Try it yourself, and I think you'll enjoy it!

Happy Kentucky Derby Week!

Fun Information about Mother's Day, and an easy and inexpensive gift idea too!

In honor of Mother's Day, on Sunday, May 8, 2011, I found a fun link to a site that explains the history of Mother's Day. It also has some quotes that would be nice in a simple card for your Mom.

Link here to find out why this is such a fun day to celebrate how great Mom's are!
the history of Mother's Day


It can be hard to figure out a perfect, and creative gift to give to your cool mom. But, after looking around the web for gift ideas, I found a great gift for Mom that you could easily do on your own:

Find an old frame, or pick one up from a goodwill store.
Get sturdy paper and any type of acrylic paint.
Take your hands, press them carefully in the paint, and then onto the paper.
Do one hand print, for each member of your family...or maybe just the kids.
Sign and date, wait for it to dry, and place in frame.
Voila! A cool and unique gift that any Mom would love!

Here are 2 versions of this idea...it would be easy and fast to make!



Have fun, and Happy Mother's Day!
