Hi everyone. I've been hard at work on the stationery and just added 20 new ones to the New Stationery page. 2 of them are School related and all but one of the rest are Summer, the last one is Summer but also Fantasy and saves in the Fantasy stationery folder. I've added a Back-to-school wallpaper page and a Back-to-school stationery page.
I've also added the Summer page to the stationery section, most but not all of them are on the New Stationery page.
Whew, now I need to watch some TV and read a book to wind down. Have a great night!

Aug 14, 2010
I've added more wallpaper to the Summer section (some of them are on the New Wallpaper page as well) and another couple of August Desktop Calendars. I'm getting punch drunk!! And my butt is sore. LOL As I am working with all of these new tags I'm making them all into stationery and wallpaper and some into calendars, so once I'm done working with all of my summer tags made over the last 2 years, I'll start converting the stationery into OE and EML stats, making the thumbnails and uploading them.  Desktop Calendars    New Wallpaper    Summer Wallpaper

Aug 12, 2010
I've been working hard again. I've redone all of the wallpaper in the Summer section, some of them are pretty well brand new as I've had to replace images in some. Go take a look!

Hi everyone. I've been working hard. I've just added 2 more August Desktop Calendars, 6 September Desktop Calendars and 2 October Desktop Calendars. I've also added 10 new Desktop Wallpaper to the New Wallpaper page. Find the new items here: Desktop Calendars and New Wallpaper.
I hope to get a lot of stationery done tomorrow, it's been awhile since I've got any stationery done. I want to update and upload the Summer pages for both the wallpaper and stationery. I'll keep you posted. Have a great night!

July 31, 2010
10AM: Hi everyone. Busy summer for me so I'm not around much. Camping a lot!
Anyway, I've just uploaded 5  August Desktop Calendars and 5 new desktop wallpapers on the New Wallpaper page.
Go take a look! I'm hoping to make a 6th one today if I have time, I have to go grocery shopping in a few minutes.
Contrary to popular opinion, not all women love to shop. I hate it! I like my 4 walls and computer, books, TV. I'm a genuine home-body. I can take the camping because I bring my home with me (and my computers and books!).
I'll post if I put up a 6th calendar and wallpaper. Have a wonderful day!
6PM: I just finished a 6th wallpaper and desktop calendar. Another one with some adorable fairies!

July 10, 2010
I've added many translated tag tutorials back. If you go to the Translated Tag Tutorials index page you'll see the top rows are done. I have finished and uploaded all of Futura's, Duchessa's, Marijke's and Marian's tutorials. The ones below Marian's, starting at Miss Daisy's, are not done yet. And as I posted before, I've finished all of the Translated Frames tutorials as well as many of my own, as outlined on the Tutorials Index page.

July 8, 2010:
I've just  uploaded the last 2 Translated Frame tutorials.
Tutorial index is here: http://www.ellies-treasures.com/tutorials/tutorials.html
I'm still working at the tutorials. Huge job to get these all back online again!

July 7, 2010:
I've just uploaded my Tag Tutorials section and I've uploaded 3 of the 5 Translated Frame tutorials. The other 2 I redid today and have to reassemble the screenshots, etc and will upload them tomorrow.
Woohoo, getting lots done!

July 6, 2010
Hi everyone. I've just uploaded all of the Basic tutorials section, the Animated tutorials and the Image Creation tutorials. These are tutorials for all of the programs I write for, PSP, Photoshop-Photoshop Elements, PhotoImpact and GimpShop. I hope to get started on the translated tutorials tomorrow, many of them can go back online with a minimum of editing. 
Tutorial index is here: http://www.ellies-treasures.com/tutorials/tutorials.html
We were supposed to be camping this week but John canceled as he thought it would be too hot for myself and the kitty. So I got started on these tutorials first thing this morning and have been working on them all day. Have a great evening!

July 1, 2010
First of all, Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians. I hope you're having a great day! I have my July Desktop Calendars up and also one new wallpaper on the New Wallpaper page. I also have my July 4th Wallpaper page uploaded.
I'm sorry the tutorial uploads are so slow. I wasn't able to type for awhile, I had sprained a finger on my left hand and had to wear a wrist brace on the right for awhile so typing was out of the question. I have almost all of the background tutorials uploaded and all but one of the Basics tutorials. Once my wrists and hands heal up properly I'll be able to get the rest of them done more quickly. Summer is a busy time for me with going camping at least once every month but I promise I'll get to them as quickly as possible. I am itching to start writing new tutorials as well, so once I get the website whipped back into shape I want to get started on that. It's just all taking longer than I thought it would.
Some of you may have noticed my Blogspot blog was gone for a bit, Google had deleted it as I was swept up in a sweep where a "fuzzy filter" had pegged it as spam. I wrote to them and after about 2 weeks they apologized and put it back online. In the meantime I had opened a Wordpress blog which is attached to my own site. I think I'll keep both blogs, if something happens to one, then I still have the other one to fall back on. So on my main pages you will see buttons for both blogs, they will have identical information, as does the What's New page, I put the same info on all of them. Have a great day everyone!

June 1, 2010
Noon: Well, I'm making another move. I was having so much trouble with those free hosts that my site was spread across that I decided to go back to a paid host. I went with SuperGreen Hosting after doing a lot of research. They have a sterling reputation from what I've seen and so far, just this morning, I've had a few questions and got an immediate response via email with an offer of further help if needed. I've been uploading and the speeds are super fast. I'm very impressed!
The only addresses that will change will be the Stationery and the Font sections, as they were on a host apart from my main site I had to change the address. They will now go back to the same address they had before. Once I get all of this uploaded again, I'll be back to the same spot I was before today as I'm still updating my Tutorial, Wallpaper and Stationery sections for copyright content. I'll let you know when I get this all uploaded today. And then I'll go back to editing those sections and adding them to the site as I get them done. I'm working on the tutorials section, Background Tutorials at the moment (once I'm done this uploading) and I have most of those Background Tutorials done. Thanks for being patient with me!
--------------------------
7PM: I've got all of the site re-uploaded that I had done before today. So while there are still some links that don't work, due to my editing them before uploading, all of the sections are working now that were working yesterday. If you bookmarked the new fonts and stationery sections in the last couple of weeks, they will go back to using the same addresses as before. So you'll need to head to my home page and follow the links from there to bookmark them again.
Tomorrow I'll go back to editing and uploading the tutorials. It was a lot of work today but I'm so glad I did it.

May 30, 2010
Hi everyone. I hope you're having a nice weekend?
I've just finished the June desktop calendars, I have 8 for you to choose from, 4 with graphics on them and 4 just the textured background and the calendar. I also have 11 new desktop wallpapers for you.
I have been quiet lately but that's because I'm working on editing all of my tutorials and getting them back online. I'm working on the Background tutorials at the moment as I thought they would need the least copyright editing, but some do and most are in the old style pages that I did when I first started, so I'm updating the look of the pages at the same time. I'm doing the tuts as I edit them and have found some that I've improved since I know so much more now! So it's all for your benefit.
It was slow going for the last couple of weeks as I was having trouble with the server that I was uploading to, about 90% of the files ended up with a socket error, a dead connection, etc most of them after uploading to 100% so then they would start over again and I'd have to sit right by the computer to check whether I wanted it to skip or overwrite. It was a huuuuge pain, but the last few days it has been excellent, very fast and no errors. I thought I was going to have to bail on this host and find another one but it's been very good now! Now it's the host that's hosting my stationery section I'm having trouble with. I suddenly can't log in there, says my credentials are wrong but they're the same ones I've been logging in with all along. That just started so I'll have to see how it goes. But I can't do anything about my stationery at the moment. I'm too busy trying to get the tuts online anyway! That's my way-too-lengthy story! LOL
Enjoy the calendars and the wallpaper, check out the tuts I have online so far. Here are the links
Desktop Calendars
New Wallpaper
Tile Tutorials
I also have these tuts back online:
Making 3D Text (such as in Font previews, I also use this technique sometimes on my tags)
Add an animation, picture or webpage to  your desktop (I wrote this mainly for people wanting to add my blinkie calendars to their desktop, but it is a very useful tutorial to add other items as well)
I also have my font tutorials back online here
Our first camping trip is coming up, second week of June. I always take my laptop and my netbook with me and usually work on site stuff while I'm gone so hopefully I'll get lots done then, with no distractions. No internet though so I can't look up copyright stuff, etc while I'm gone. Have to work on hubby to get some satellite internet or a Rocket Stick from Rogers! Maybe when we're done paying off our brand new trailer! We graduated from a pop-up tent trailer to a full-fledged travel trailer this year, with a Murphy Bed that folds up to the wall and a bathroom with WALLS!!! LOL
Have a great weekend everyone!

May 5, 2010
Hi everyone. I've just finished editing two wallpaper pages and I've uploaded them. I've edited all of them for copyright content and made all of them into all three sizes I offer now.
I've finished Miscellaneous wallpaper page 1, direct link is here:
http://www.ellies-treasures.com/epaper/mothers-fathers/mothers-fathers.html
And I've finished Mother's Day-Father's Day wallpaper page. I've only got the Mother's Day wallpaper on the page as I have to edit the Father's Day wallpaper yet. You can get to it here:
http://www.ellies-treasures.com/epaper/misc1/misc1.html
I just wanted to get the Mother's Day wallpaper finished before it's past the date! Have a great night!

April 30, 2010
I've been working hard all day and I have 3 desktop calendars up for May and 5 new wallpapers.
Check them  out here   New Wallpaper  Desktop Calendars here
2 of the Wallpaper and Calendars are Mother's Day themed, the other is a beautiful Fairy Child dancing.

April 29, 2010
Hi everyone. My entire fonts sections is back online now. I just finished uploading all of the pages and testing the links. I'm not sure if the host will have to review all of the files again or not but if you get the review message, that's what's going on. I don't think they have to review each time but mentioning it just in case.
Fonts are here: http://www.ellies-treasures2.webuda.com/fonts/fonts.html
Another thing I wanted to mention is that a few people have mentioned to me that Norton's is blocking my site. I just wanted to assure you that my site is completely safe. I have AVG running on my computer at all times and I also Googled my sites and all of my page hits were rated trusted and safe by AVG in Google. I really dislike Norton's, it often gives false positives and it often causes computer problems. You couldn't pay me enough to use any of their products. My husband and I used to repair computers and the first thing we asked was, do you have Norton's on it? If the answer was yes, we uninstalled it and 9 times out of 10 the computer problems cleared up. Each to their own, but I don't like it! LOL
While I appreciate your input on anything else, please don't write to tell me I should love Norton's because you do. I won't, honest. Cross my heart!!
Anyway, back to the problem. Those who allowed my site through despite Norton's are having no problems with it. My host also checks all files for malicious content, which is why we had the long wait to have my site reviewed and approved. So no worries, my site is completely safe. I think I may be working on the tutorial section next. Since my stationery and wallpaper pages have the New wallpaper and New Stationery pages up, I can put all my new stuff there till I get the rest of the sections edited and uploaded. That's going to take quite awhile as each copyright compliant graphic I used before has to be redone to add the copyright info and license info where applicable. The ones that I cannot use at all, I'll have to either get rid of or redo the entire stationery and wallpaper with new tubes/graphics. And of course, being the end of the month, I have to get the May calendars done. Whew, startin' to sweat, thinking about it!!
Have a great day!

April 27, 2010
Hi everyone. Well good news finally. My stationery sites and font sites have been approved and now you can view them. I stopped working on them till it was approved as I didn't want to waste my time editing pages for links if the site wasn't going to work out.
So the stationery pages still have just the new stationery page working and the fonts have some of the pages working as I mentioned before. Now that they're working again, I'll start adding the font pages as I edit them, probably starting tomorrow, as the font pages will be quicker to finish. I'll then start editing and adding the stationery pages as they all have to be gone through for copyright issues. Adding links and credits to the graphics and then redoing the stationery before reuploading them. But the important one is the New Stationery and that one is up.
Thanks for being patient!
Just to remind you, not all of the links and buttons work. Just under the New Fonts button you'll see a list of the working pages, which are New Fonts, # Fonts (those starting with a number or other non-alpha key), the Alphadings and the Dingbats. In Stationery, only the New Stationery button works.

April 24, 2010
Well my surprise kind of fell flat as my stationery and font sections have been inaccessible since I uploaded them. They don't tell you ahead of time, but once you upload your files and pages they manually check the files for malicious content. So anyone that's tried to access those pages will be redirected to another page that says they are manually checking the files and it will take 2-4 hours. I've checked out their forum and many people have been waiting in excess of 7 days. I'll put in a ticket today and see if they get to it quicker. I apologize for the delay in viewing the pages. Don't give up on me yet!

April 20, 2010
Surprise! I have some of my stationery and some of my font pages back up! I found another webhost that will take those file formats so I've been working on it all day. In the Stationery, I have the main index page and the New Stationery pages back online. In the Fonts, I have the Fonts Index Page up, as well as New Fonts, #Fonts, Alphadings and Dingbats. It's a huge job as I have to not only edit the page, I have to go to the counter service and change the addresses there as well for each page. Slow but steady! They have new addresses so if you've bookmarked these two sections previously, the old bookmarks won't work.
Find the Stationery Index page here: http://ellies-treasures1.comlu.com/stats/stats.html
Find the Fonts Index page here: http://www.ellies-treasures2.webuda.com/fonts/fonts.html
Don't forget, only a few buttons work so far, just the ones I mentioned above.
I'll be opening a section for my tags when I get caught up, so there will be a new address for them as well, currently the tags buttons don't work, I don't have those pages up.
Note: I tried to open the stationery pages in Opera and hubby tried to open them in Firefox and it said they were checking for file content and to come back later, so far I've just got that page. But I've had no trouble in Internet Explorer getting into the pages.

April 19, 2010
Hi everyone. Well I've run into a snag with my new host. I cannot upload any of the 3 formats of my stationery, imf, exe and eml. It won't allow that file type. So it's back to the drawing board. I'll have to find another host, one that allows these formats. Or not offer stationery any longer. I could offer it on my blog but it would be one at a time as it's made, not in categories like it is now. At least that's the way I'm thinking right now. If I don't make stats I can still write tutorials and offer the desktop wallpaper and calendars, possibly the fonts. I'll have to think about this. Let me know how you feel about it. I've been making stationery so long I don't know how I'll feel about stopping!
Email button at the bottom if you want to tell me how you feel about it. If you know of any free webhost that allows uploading of these 3 formats, could you let me know please?
On another note, I found out that the problem with the previous webhost had nothing to do with me. I ran across the webhosting review site and there are dozens of people on there all complaining about the same thing. Most of us have been with One Dollar Host for 3 years or more. They all had the same thing happen, the webhost site went down for a day, came back online that night and that day all of these people's websites disappeared. No response to any messages sent. Everyone is royally teed off to say the least and most are either giving up or switching to a new host, and just writing off the money they already paid for webhosting. I was paid up for 3 years but still had another full year to go on it. I know I'll never see a refund of that  money so I'll just write it off.
I did just upload John's wallpaper and my New Wallpaper page which has all of my newest wallpaper on it.
Have a super day! Hugs, Ellie

April 16, 2010
Hi everyone. As many of you know, I had to switch to a new web host as my old web host suddenly and without warning deleted my website. I tried emailing and calling numerous times and they did not have the courtesy to respond to a single message. So I am telling you now, and tell everyone else, do not host your website with one dollar host. I have been with them for years and thought they at least owed me a response to my queries. If I sound bitter, well  . . . . I am!
So I am just starting to  put my site back up again. So far, just this page! Next going up will be my Great Beginnings page and my What's New page. I am going to be very careful in case this was over a copyright issue, I have no idea since they wouldn't respond. So I will not be offering fonts any more. The foreign tutorial translations will be gone except for those I can find copyright info for the art used. For the same reasons, the only wallpaper and stationery I'm putting back up is the new stuff that has copyright info on it. I'll put the font tutorials back up. My own tutorials will go back up unless I have to edit the graphics to add copyright info, then I'll do that first before re-adding them. I am hoping to start writing my own tutorials again too. This is a fresh start for us all!
Another reason I have to streamline the site is that this web host is not unlimited in storage space and bandwidth as my old one was, although they do have a large capacity.
You'll find that many of the buttons and links won't work yet while I work on the pages and then uploading them. So please be patient.
Thanks so much for sticking with me, words cannot express how wonderful it is to see you all back here again!
And thanks to Zymic for having such a fabulous free hosting package!
