Frustrated!!

Ok, so I'm getting a little frustrated at this whole Blog set up. I can figure out how to post etc... but can't figure out for the life of me how you get all the cool stuff on there, special backgrounds, counters, etc. I've looked everywhere and nothing seems to tell you how to do it. I'm giving up for the night. Any suggestions / help out there?

My Little Spooks

Took the kids out for a night beautiful night of trick or treating. Couldn't have asked for better weather. I can't remember the last time we had weather in the 60's on Halloween night! Usually it's cold or rainy - yuck!

I think Isabel looked more pretty than scary and Cristian tried hard to be cool as a Ninja. So, here they are in their "bootiful" costumes!

Isabel was complete with a glittery bat pin that we put on her hat and it had matching dangle earrings, which she thought were too cool. The best part of her dress, that unfortunately we couldn't capture on film, (try as we might)was that her dress had fiber optic lines in the skirt that we turned on and they blinked of and on with green lights, very cute!

Cristian had to have the "pack" thing that went on his back that held two swords and two daggers. Which I agree looked really cool, but then the dumb daggers kept falling out all evening and we ended up having to take them out and put them in the trick or treat bag, or we would have spent the whole night collecting daggers rather than candy.

Thanksgiving card

Ok, so somehow I got "volunteered" to host my family's Thanksgiving dinner. So, to make the best of the otherwise unfortunate situation - LOL - I decided to take it to the next level and make some really cute invitaions to the dinner. So, here are my Invitations to the dinner:

Let's Give this a Whirl

Ok, so I followed, not so religiously, a friend of mine's Blog and thought it was cool, but never thought I would do this. Then one of my closest friends decided so start a blog as well, so I thought, why not me too!! So, I'm giving this a shot, we'll see what happens from here!

I guess first and foremost I have to figure out how to set this whole thing up so I like the way it looks and it reflects me... I'm not the computer whiz, so knowing me it will take me a month to just figure out how the darn thing works! LOL

Once I get it figured out I will try to start getting some pictures posted too, but I'm taking baby steps to start with!
