Blogger Friend School Assignment #5

Posted on October 3, 2007 by

  This week’s assignment is to help bloggers add pictures to their blogs.  It also employs our creative natures.  We are to use our blog names and make ‘signs’.  I went nuts over this one.  I am always playing around with graphics trying to create my own.  We could use Image Chef or get creative.  I tried both.  I didn’t take any pictures myself for this assignment, but on my side bar there is one I … Continue reading →

You Make Me Smile

  What a wonderful surprise my dear blogger friend Laurie at Tea Cups in the Garden gave me Tuesday. She awarded me with the ‘You Make Me Smile’ Award.  It really was an extraordinary blessing to me.  After she notified me she was giving it to me, I told her the story of how when I was a young girl I had made a list of goals for my life.  Right after becoming a wife and … Continue reading →
