Seabreeze 3 - Updated for VGA

2006-06-13T13:32:05-05:00

I finally got around to updating Seabreeze for VGA. Seabreeze has been a long time favorite. I'll work on editing the desktop wallpaper version for widescreen. Look for that soon. I have to admit I felt a tad nostalgic working with this old favorite. It was one of my first all-original designs and I've always been really pleased with it.

Spring Tulips

2006-03-22T01:07:31-05:00

It's cold and snowy here today. The calendar says it's the first day of spring. Someone needs to inform Mother Nature. Maybe these spring tulips will warm things up a bit. :)

(Elaine on Mar 22, 2006 1:44 AM) Thank you, Deb. We have such crazy weather in Colorado. My tulips, some of which were blooming (the last time I saw them) are under about six inches of snow right now!! I've really missed your themes, and I'm so happy you're making us some new ones. My all-time favorite is Restless Heart.

(Elaine on Mar 22, 2006 1:51 AM) Of course Restless Heart comes after my all time favorite, favorite theme, my little cocker spaniel, "Anna's" theme.

(Hipchick on Mar 22, 2006 8:33 AM) Hi Deb! Always happy to see a new theme :-) Here in Vermont, the Cancadian Geese are back (honking loudly, I might add) and my tulips are about 3.5" out of the ground. Did I mention that it's snowing outright now? LOL As usual ... keep up the great job!! Hugs- Hipchick

Fixed Broken Stuff

2006-03-13T13:17:09-05:00

I finally got around to repairing some of the broken stuff around here. Comments and security code are now working properly. I had to temporarily enable comment moderation while I fixed this. My poor site received 500 blog comment spam messages in less than 24 hours! :eek:

Sorry for the little dry-spell of new Pocket PC themes and desktop wallpapers. Posted a few new themes recently, but I really need to find some time to make some new wallpapers. I miss designing those. Once I get caught up with the "real job" I'll try to make some play time for new designs. Ideas and requests welcome.

Some Sad News

2005-12-05T17:46:25-05:00

Hi all,

I've received a few email messages from regular visitors wondering why I have not posted my usual montage of new holiday themes. I guess I should tell you why. Those of you who have been around here a while will remember the posts regarding my Mother's health during the past couple of years. Lately she had been doing really well and was busy enjoying life. I'm sad to report that Mom experienced a very sudden relapse on November 1st. She passed away on November 12th. My Mom was only 62 years old. She was my best friend. I will miss her dearly.

Due to everything that happened with Mom, and the fact that I underwent some surgery myself (nothing serious), I've not been up to doing much with the site. I'm back to work now and hope to have some time to bring you a few new holiday themes as well. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

If your own Mother is close by, give her a hug and let her know you're glad she's there. Moms are special.

(Cheryl on Dec 5, 2005 7:03 PM) Hi Debbie I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It is never easy, I know. My prayers and thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time. Take care and let us know if we can do anything. Cheryl

(Jeff W on Dec 5, 2005 8:13 PM) I pray for comfort at a time of great loss. MY family and I will keep you in our prayers. Thank you for bringing joy to all of us.

(Elaine on Dec 5, 2005 11:38 PM) Deb, I just figured you were busy. I'm so sorry you lost your mother. Take care of yourself and your family.

(McDeb on Dec 6, 2005 6:47 PM) Thank you all for the kind comments.

(Michael Roden on Dec 7, 2005 4:52 AM) I have been coming here for a long time now,I am very sorry to hear the news about your Mom. Sorry she was so young, I know how tough this time can be. As my wife lost here mum last year, Take Care.

(Janine on Dec 7, 2005 5:52 PM) Deb, My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time in your lives. No one can replace our parents. I will pray for you to receive strength and comfort.

(Shelia on Dec 7, 2005 8:19 PM) Deb, so sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers.

(Melissa on Dec 7, 2005 9:10 PM) My sincere condolences on the loss of your Mother and friend. I cannot fathom your loss, but thoughts are with you. I'm sure she is watching over you with love and care.

(Maylert on Dec 7, 2005 10:30 PM) So sorry for your loss. Hope you feel much better and regain your strength. I wish you all the very best to come after such a great loss. And thank you for all your great works.

(Pam on Dec 9, 2005 10:36 AM) Debbie I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I recently lost my father too with cancer. He was the same age as your mom and would have been 63 on Nov 11th. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. xxxxxxxxx

(gork on Dec 9, 2005 10:49 AM) My prayers are with you Deb. Sorry to hear about your Mom.

(Margo on Dec 10, 2005 11:02 AM) Dearest Deb, You have my sincere sympathy and are in my prayers. I understand how difficult this is as my mother left us Dec 2, 1999. Death is never easily accepted and is made less so when it occurs near a family orientated holiday. May you and your family find acceptance and peace of spirit.

(Pascal Hoquet on Dec 11, 2005 8:37 AM) Hi Deb, I am very sorry to hear about your mom. French visitors are with you. Take care of yourseft.

(Judy on Dec 18, 2005 5:03 PM) Deb, I am very sorry for your loss, next time I see my mom I will give her a great big hug. I am a shortimer to your site, but have enjoyed it since November! Judy

(Pierre on Jan 22, 2006 1:56 PM) this is my first visit to your site and noticed your message about your mom. Very sorry as well to hear about her passing away. My father was 65 when he passed away. It's exactly 3 years past now. My condolences to you and your family. Pierre Kiefer Hamburg, Germany

(Joe Hammond on Jan 24, 2006 4:11 PM) I'm very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My father died in 1983 at the age of 62 from leukemia; I was 33. In 2000, my mother passed away at 76; I turned 50 two months later. I learned too late that my father had been my best friend all along, even though for a time I perceived him as an adversary. Your times with your mother as "best friends" are the moments of which eternity is made -- and cherished. Bodies and emotions realize distance and absence; hearts in whom dwell truth know neither. Although it feels lonely being the "end of the chain," somehow I still feel very connected to both of my parents. Therein is at least some measure of rest. As you work through your times of adjusting in the days ahead, I hope for you peace and rest to savor the good -- and plenty of tissues to absorb the outward experiences thereof! Joe

(McDeb on Jan 25, 2006 2:27 PM) Joe, Thank you for taking the time to write such beautiful words. Means a lot to me.

(Kevin on Jan 31, 2006 4:44 PM) I am saddened to read about your mother's passing. My heartfelt condolences. (I was a regular visitor to your site before my PDA went on permanent hiatus, which was some time ago!) Though I only know you through your posts, I am still comfortable saying that you should have no regrets - you were always there for your mother, and I am certain she knew the depth of your love for her. Be well! - KPM

The themes are great - if I could, I'd probably download 75% of them! (no space on the IPAQ...) I'm very sorry that you lost your Mom and I wish you no more sorrow. Karen.
