AARRGH...here we go AGAIN!!!

Blogger is not letting me post pictures.....
When I click to "insert image" the window opens up but the "browse" link doesn't appear, so I can't download my pics from my desk top. I'm at my wits end.... I don't know what to do.......Does ANYBODY have any suggestions???? PLEASE! HELP!!!
The last time something like this happened my pictures were too large and I used up all my space (a window popped up telling me) but I've downsized a majority of them so I should have space.. no window is popping up... I'm stumped....I don't know why the browse link isn't appearing.

1-4-13
I noticed blogger is aware of the problem. For now you can post pics in the "html" and then look at them in "compose"...a bit of a pain but it gets the job done. Hope they fix it soon.

Christmas crackers..mini

Here's my mini version of the Christmas crackers. I made these for work and took them in yesterday.
Everyone loved them. I got the file from Lettering Delights (its the 2-pc file) and used my Stampn Up designers series paper.
I filled them with 4 Hershey kisses.  (I made 45, they're double stacked )

I've been pretty busy with family/work...don't have time to shop like usual...What to do? Crackers...LOL..
This year my family will have a cracker to open and find money to do their own shopping...ROTFLOL!!!
I got the file from Lettering Delights and found some Xmas papers and twine. I just LOVE how these came out....I'm going to make a smaller version about (50) and take to work Christmas Eve (day) for my coworkers and fill them with "hugs/kisses". I've already got the smaller version cut...just need to put them together....These are so QUICK and EASY to make!! I'll post a pic when their done.

Here's my Christmas cards. They'll go in the mail tomorrow. YIPPIE!!!
I used the cricut cart Teddy Bear Parade and cut at 3.75".
I flocked the white "fur" and used glossy accents on the belt and boots.
Embossed the background with Snowflakes folder and added red stickles to the present.
Ho Ho Ho letters are from Plantin Schoolbook cut at .75"
The inside was done on the Silhouette. I used "Plaid" font. Isn't it PRETTY!!!

Christmas Gifts

clic on pic to enlarge
WOWZA!!! My Christmas gifts for my family came out GORGEOUS!!!  LOL!! I forget how much FUN vinyl can be. I already had the 6x6 tiles (previous bathroom redo) and I got all the designs from the silhouette store (Christmas star, Nativity Wise men and Wise men still seek him). I thought it looked better with a frame so I made a 5.5" outer square and then a 5.04" inner square. The camel is 1.25w x 1.29h, 1st wise man(near camel) is .67w x 1.15h, 2nd wise man is  .56w x 1.07h and 3rd wise man is .53w x .74h. The star is 1.01w x 1.60h and the words are 4.20w x 1.03h.  I welded the star and nativity men to the inner square. I thought it would be a lot easier to apply this way and it was...LOL.... Just look at the details on the wise men and camel....I'm IMPRESSED!!!! Now all I have to do is go find some picture stands and get these ready to mail next week. I made 12 of these and can't wait for my families response......
