A Thank You and A Giveaway

I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments on the new look of my blog and banner. I’m glad everyone likes it. I needed a bit of color. I think everyone is ready for Spring.

I have been working on my photography and texture skills. I just started to contribute to the Inspiration Studio flickr pool. It’s was hard for me to find the confidence to post photos in any of the flickr pools. I just figured I had to jump in ( jump in the pool). The Inspiration Studio is a blog that Kim Klassen began and she has many contributors with individual creative talents. So when I heard that Jamie chose one of my shots to use in her recent post I was absolutely thrilled. That’s it above and you can see it here at the i-studio. Jamie blogs at Lyrical Journey and she is also a contributor over at the Inspiration Studio where she puts together wonderful sound tracks. So if you are in need of a little inspiration then head over and check out the i-studio and Lyrical Journey. Lots of great talent and creativity! Thank you Jamie for the little boost I needed.

Speaking of jumping in. My friend Maureen over at Cottage 960 is having a giveaway. She is raising money for the Special Olympics of Illinois. That crazy girl is going to do a polar plunge! Brrrrrr! You need to hop on over there and check out the cute camera strap she made. She will make you one too if you win. In the colors you’d like. Because she’s nice like that.

Oh and I have a question to those of you who use Live Writer. I just updated my theme so that my new template would be recognized. But now my preview mode is not working. If you know of a solution to this I’d be grateful. I posted the question on their forum but nothing yet. I googled it for hours last night and nothing. I was shocked. Google usually has the answer for anything.

I need to get back to working on my chandelier. It’s going silver today. I’ve put it off long enough.

see ya,
