My Own Blog At Last!

My new blog is ready!   After a few months at my WP blog, I finally have my own site!  All of my blog posts from here and WP have already been switched over.  All that is left to transfer over is the 'Resource' pages.  Please come have a look.  I posted a nice article, full of goodies, just for you!

A Freebie and a Fare Thee Well, Blogger!

I am kind of sad to leave this blog.  It is where I got into the swing of the digi-scrapping community.  Posting freebies and linking to other's blogs is like having a little town store.  You put your wares out there for whoever may stop by.  I didn't do any advertising other than hooking up with a couple of the scrapping search engines site, like CBH(CreativeBusyHands), for one.  Still, I had a fair amount of traffic.  
As far as Word Press goes, it's like walking into factory when I have been used to the showroom.  LOL  WP is a blog that requires some web know-how.  I always wanted to learn it.  I actually started out blogging at my WP blog, with intentions of learning web design.  Discovering I had Photoshop on my pc, which a friend had left with me,  I figured I could use it for design.  Boy did I!  LOL  I veered way away from web design and into digi-scrappin' design.  I was able to learn Photoshop all the while.  There are so many opportunities to learn that program within the community alone!  Now, I guess, I am back to learning web design after all. 
I know mine is just one little blog in a sea of great blogs, but, it was where I spent my time, reaching out to others with a freebie, a link to some awesome web site or a little tutorial to show something I learned, or my stand on some issue.  It is where I could be Susan and not worry about it.  My 'free spirit' could flow.  But, when I spent all morning and part of the afternoon typing out a post that reflected some personal feelings, as well as, images and links to convey my message, plus a freebie to boot, it is time for action.  My time is more valuable than that.  So, it's Farewell, Blogger!
Just to say how utterly grateful I am to have such awesome readers, I am going to give you all one last freebie from this blog.  These are actually the smaller elements from this month's collaboration with Miss Edna, 'April Showers'.  Earlier today, I posted Parts 3 and 4 over at the WP blog,
http://aladyinflorida.wordpress.com/
The remaining parts will also post there and from now on.  But, I wanted to post one last time here, to make sure everyone knew I was leaving.  It seems the right thing to do to give away a part of the freebie here.  I have three(3) collage sheets of the elements for you.
Here is a brief preview:

Don't forget to go over to my new blog and fill in your e-mail addy in the 'Follow Blog By E-mail' section of the right-side bar.  I usually only post about once a week, so, you won't get barraged, but, you'll know when I do post.  
Thank you!
See ya at the new place!
Hugs,

My New Blog - Moving

I wasn't foolin around when I said I was leaving Blogger!  LOL  There are numerous reasons for my leaving, but, yesterday, when I lost an entire post I had worked all morning on, it was the last straw.  All of the content and downloads here will remain until I figure out how to add to WP.  I'm not closing this blog, I'm just not posting here anymore.  You can find my new blog over at:
http://aladyinflorida.wordpress.com
I look forward to seeing you there - the first post will be on Monday, per my schedule with Miss Edna and our collaboration.  I will post another notice here on Monday.
As I am just getting the WP blog set up, please be patient with me.  I will have it all together soon.  Your patience and understanding are so appreciated!
See you at http://aladyinflorida.wordpress.com

Damn-it, Blogger! and a Freebie

I spent all morning typing up a post.  It is now 1:30 in the afternoon.  That was how long I spent.  It was kind of long, but, what I feel was interesting.  I put a lot into it - even had pictures!  LOL  I was darned proud of it, too!  But, due to Blogger's incredible inadequacy at functioning like a proper blog-site, it all disappeared.  I had clicked on 'Preview', saw something that I needed to edit and poof!  All, but, the title and the very end was gone.  The same thing had happened when I tried to add a caption to one of the images.  The image just vanished!  I had to replace it - twice!  I just don't have it in me to re-type it.  In fact, the next time I post anything, I am heading over to my Word Press site, or anywhere else.  Screw this!  Anyway, this page-kit is what was at the end of my post.  It was the only part that didn't disappear!  LOL  (Click on preview to go to Minus.com to download):  

And, I do know that there aren't any labels on the preview.  I did that on purpose.  It had to do with my post - the one that disappeared.

Anyway...

Enjoy!  Until next time...

Smile!(My Granddaughter)
