A Photo for the Wall

I recently won an 18 x 24 poster from Uprinting.. through A Familiar Path.  I have finally recieved my poster in the mail. It is FABULOUS! The picture is very clear & looks exactly how I submitted it!

So, what do you think? Good choice? Bad Choice? I really wanted a picture of the land that my dad has built a cabin on...but idid not have a good enough quality picture..so this is what i decided on..after days & days of changing my mind!

Thanks again Melissa!

The question of the day..."Why the snow go, mama?"

What the day brings...

Well, it is Halloween again...what will Z wear??? Sometimes I am o together & have everything all figured out, and then there are times, like this year, when it's 4:00 and I am thinking of what I can pull together for a costume! With my thinking cap on and creative juices flowing...I stumble upon an idea that makes me proud! So... what can you make out of diaper boxes, silver cord, & scrapbooking paper, you ask??? 


My Sweet Little RUBIX CUBE!!! This was one of the quickest & easiest costumes I ever made! Just a staple here & a staple there...and you have it!


It was a wonderful night with just a tiny nip in the air. Z had a pretty good time! She was a little scared of some houses that were decorated & some costumes, but for the most part very willing to participate! 

Hope you had a Gobblin Good Time!!

Helpful Information

So, just today I found myself confused at why some of my pictures were coming up blurry & fuzzy. When I checked my file on my computer they were as crisp as can be, and when I clicked on them in my blog, they were also crisp & clear..hmmmm?

After a few hours of research, I finally understand and now know how to fix it!!

So, if you have a picture that comes over looking like this one...

I have a way to fix it!

Once your picture is uploaded to your post...go the the "Edit HTML" tab and click it;
when this comes up, don't be alarmed, look for the /s200/ part of the format. Each picture will have one.

See the /s200/, change it to width="200", so it will look like this now ( /width="200"/ )Now this number could be anything from s200 - s1600, whatever the number is, keep that number, just change the format! Make sense?

So, when you change the format, your picture will look like this...

Do you see the difference in the picture? It is not as blurry!
