Day 3 & 4: Ribbons & Bows

There's just so much to do: gifts to wrap, cards to finish (yes, I'm late), gingerbread men to create, and more baking.  With all this busy, I missed yesterday's 12 Days of Textures, but I'm using the two textures Kim offered on today's photos.  I'm all about ribbons and bows.  I've said it before: I love ribbons of all colors and kinds. One can never have too many ribbons. 


This photo was layered with Look-Up first, followed by Edward, yesterday's texture.



I cross-processed With Love and then added today's texture gift: Zuzu.  Kim does an amazing job creating these lovelies that adds to the story of each photo with depth and pattern.  I'm so lovin' this 12 days of textures that I've challenged myself to complete.  Wanna see more texture love?  Click below...



I hope you find time to savor the moments leading up to Christmas with a cup of tea, a hint of serenity, and a heaping helping of love.

Now a Rant and a Plea

For the last couple weeks I've been having problems viewing the blogs of others.  Some of the images come through, but then others do not.  I have no idea why I'm having this problem.  It's frustrating to no end.  I've researched the problem, followed the instructions all for naught...nothing changed.  Anyone have any ideas why there are red X's in the corners where images should appear?  Any solutions? 

Also, I'm having problems commenting on some blogs.  For some reason, I keep getting sent back to change my Google ID.  After re-typing the information all ready there, I'm sent back again. I can't give different information because there's only the one.   Any suggestions or ideas would be so appreciated.
