Keeping Busy!

Liz and Jake (AKA: Jakie by Isabel) left this morning for a Caribbean Cruise (away from the oil if all goes according to plan) so I'm trying to keep VERY busy!  And if Laura gets her wish, she'll be deploying to Afghanistan as a civilian by fiscal year end.  I hate it when the children leave.  Typical "mother" reaction I suppose. Still sucks though! So I spent the afternoon working with my new XP printer/scanner/copier! I scanned the following photograph (found at Scott Antique Market in Atlanta), cropped it, resized it, and then printed it. It's for a journal I'm creating for my Etsy shop. Do you know how difficult it is finding people who are smiling and happy looking in these very old photographs? I was thrilled to find this one; she's quite lovely! Let me know what you think!  Take care! Jan

Watch Out World!!!

As you can see (because I'd never have believed it otherwise!), I've managed to not only find a decent picture of myself (because they're very few and far between); I've also cropped it and included it on my blog and in my profile!  Took me three forevers to do it, but it's there!  The picture itself is a little large; I prefer fading into the background a little more, but haven't mastered that yet.  And I've changed the lay-out, which turns out to be rather easy, so you may never know what you're going to see when you visit!  This is GREAT! 

Another big event - Laura (my oldest daughter) not only managed to get both Nigel (my husband) and myself onto high speed wireless; she also set up my new 3-in-1 printer/scanner/copier!  It's SO COOL!!  I can't wait to scan something and share with you!  Of course Laura, genius that she is with technology, couldn't believe how excited I was when her sample picture actually scanned to my computer!  I practically jumped for joy!

Now if I can just figure out how to fully operate my cell phone!  Oh well......what can I say?

Our youngest daughter, Liz, is flying in with "an important friend" Tuesday afternoon, so we'll have a lovely family get-together for the upcoming holiday!  I can hear the joyful noise now!

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!  Talk to you soon!  Love and Blessings, Jan
