I have had a few emails saying that some of my readers have not been able to get onto my blog. According to Known Issues For Blogger there’s been a problem with Internet Explorer loading some blog pages. It seems to have something to do with the followers gadget…..so I have removed it temporarily. Grr!…

Give Me Your Best Shot #15
If you must know, this is not really my “best shot” from the week. That prize goes to this shot of AJ throwing a shoe-shaped rock into the river. But this next photo, taken a half hour before the river shot, is another favorite, for a completely different reason. I have an identical picture of…
Fix-It Friday–Ponytail Princess
This week’s Fix-It picture is of a sweet Ponytail Princess. I thought that today would be a perfect time to try out a few of my new MCP actions in Photoshop (I have CS3). A few weeks ago, I won a gift certificate for some MCP actions and just decided on the Quickie Collection (part…
Foto Friday–The Big Picture
People often ask me how I get the photos on my posts to be larger than the standard blogger uploads. There are actually three ways that I regularly use, so I thought I’d spend today sharing my not-so-secret tricks. Here’s a typical blogger picture, centered (“large” selected at time of upload): And here’s the size…
If I Were a Butterfly…..
This came home in Twizzler’s back pack today. He is way too literal for his own good. We need to work on his imagination…. The prompt: If I were a butterfly, I would…. His response: Fly as much as I wanted, drink nectar a lot, mate and get married, lay eggs, then die.
A Thousand Words Thursday (Finally a Picture of Me!)
It’s always at the end of my kids’ birthdays that I remember to have someone take a picture of me with the birthday child. But I rarely actually like the pictures. On Monday, I had CandyMan snap a few shots of me with AJ–my big 4 year old. Too bad he was licking the frosting…
Writer’s Workshop–Busy, Busy, Busy
I wasn’t sure which of MamaKat’s writing prompts I was going to chose today. Here are the choices:1.) Share a love letter. (not feeling particularly lovey today–I have had a headache for the last several days. It won’t go away!) 2.) Memorial Day Weekend plans?? Do share! (birthday party on Friday, two photo shoots on…
You Capture–Sweet
This week’s You Capture theme is Sweet (I’ve got a lot of that around here) But I am dying! Today I took 40 pictures of filled candy jars…what could be more sweet than that? But it’s all top secret. Part of a big project I have going on that is set to debut very soon…

Wordful Wednesday-Isn’t it Nice?
Isn’t it nice to go on a leisurely hike with your brothers and sisters? And isn’t it nice when, at the end of that hike, there is a clear, cool stream waiting? A stream that whisks your favorite pink flip flops away….. and catches them in the the tree roots across the deep part of…
