My best choices for country clip art and they are free!

Developing a website from scratch is quite easy, thanks to the help of free country clipart.

My first choice then was Lisa's Country Graphics and ClipArt and it gave more appeal to my website in a homely way. Most of Lisa's Cliparts are free, with her permission of course. Adding her badge to your website is best as a way of thanks.

I also got free country backgrounds from Lisa's Country Graphics for my website before at Geocities. My favorites were:

I'm really missing that Geocities website, brings back happy memories of exchange with customers and inquiries.

My second choice of country clipart is Cute Colors, which I used many years later when I wanted to change the layout. The graphics are really cute! From pre-school children, apples, bears, dogs to fairies and flowers. It's quite difficult to choose which one I liked best so I mixed and matched.

Below are just a few of those graphics I used and am still using at the moment. Try them on your pages too!

Happy Easter!

The Simple Woman's Daybook

for Today

Wednesday, October 7th

Outside my window... it is rainy and the storm seems to have come back. I remember waking up at dawn startled by the curtains blown by the wind in our living room (where we sleep)

I am thinking...right now? My Cafe World account at Facebook... my Bacon
Cheeseburger just went "ding!" :D Kidding aside, I'm thinking of this blog that I've neglected for quite a time and what I can do especially when I'm too-too busy.

I am thankful for... finally completing the list of ebooks I'm selling for download. You'll find it on my other blog, so please feel free to visit.

From the kitchen... again, I'm not the cook :) but we'll be having Ginataang Breadfruit or what-you-may-call-it (Ginataang Kamansi, in our local dialect)

I am wearing... a black hand-me-down hooded sweatshirt (because it's cold today) and housewear shorts.

I am going... to write emails sent thru facebook today, just to say hi

I am reading... Psalm 46

I am hoping... for fair weather for the Philippines. We really want that, don't we all?

I am hearing... my toddler watching Mr. Bean show in the background

Around the house... clean up to do. I'm still thinking of having our garage turned kitchen painted with white. Kind of like French Provincial. Oh, after the winds of course.

One of my favorite things... a warm mug of coffee.

A few plans for the rest of the week ... ebaying and online selling as usual.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... picture of raindrops taken on our doorstep (I'm on this side of the film, that is, what you see is the entrance to the house for rent)

The Simple Woman's Daybook

for Today

Wednesday, September 9th

Outside my window... the sun is out, after days of rain!

I am thinking...of good things, positive thoughts... yes, I'm happy!

I am thankful for... this day... it's September 9th, it's my eldest son's 19th birthday... plenty of good news... even our country seems to be in a festive mood after Sen. Noynoy Aquino's announcement today.

From the kitchen... we'll be having a simple lunch of beef and red beans. My hubby's the official cook here :)

I am wearing... a hand-me-down shirt that I love and blue denims. Funny, the shirt says : "The worst day of anything is better than the best day of school" in faded prints. Ha-ha! Why such thoughts about school, this must be my niece's shirt. I also have a beaded bag I just bought.

I am creating... a slideshow of photos from our cornfield and "new" vegetable garden

I am going... to just be like this all day. Will get to work in a while on my ebook selling errands.

I am reading... Proverbs Chapter 24 of the Bible. A verse I found there today is the best advice I could possibly find!

I am hoping... for fair weather, keeps everyone in a good mood.

I am hearing... the Secret movie on tv.

Around the house... my children are home and will be going to school this afternoon. hmm, everything is in order. Surprised!

One of my favorite things... is a day like this, I have a very very good feeling. It's like when I was in the 80's of the amazing days.

A few plans for the rest of the week ...my week will be busy online while I'll be checking on the cornfield out back.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...
