Interesting Website - Potluck Menu Ideas

OK - maybe next to scrapbooking & talking, the best thing we do at our crops is EAT. So with that in mind, here is a link to a Potluck Menu Idea database. Sometimes I never know what to make to bring to the crop, and this would be a great starting point. Hope this helps you out, and good luck in your cooking!!

Do you alter items?

Holidays, like Halloween, are a great time to take plain items and make them just right for the holidays. The "B" and "O"s are chipboard letters that I decorated with My Mind's Eye patterned paper, added the handmade hat and broom that I made, and then added them to the wreath. Finally, I added the feathers which I thought made the wreath particularly spooky. Now I have a homemade decorative item that will last throughout the years.

Website Friday - My Mind's Eye blog

Wanted to share the blog of My Mind's Eye. I found it very inspiring, as I ALWAYS buy at least one of their new lines every time it comes out. Their products are so fun!!
But, I also wanted to share this information on how to take pictures of your layouts for use on the internet. Maybe you just want to share pictures of your layouts with others, or you want to share them on a website...either way, here is a good way to do it!
Enjoy their blog!

Website Friday - Inspired Blueprints

Inspired Blueprints blog and Inspired Blueprints website...really just another name for sketches! I just recently found this website, and I love their sketches. Plus, you get two a month, and have a chance to enter & win prizes. I just love sketches as a starting point, and pretty much use them on all of my layouts to help me think outside of the box. Hope you enjoy their website as much as I do!

It looks so cool...I think I will try it!! http://deenaziegler.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/04/technique-and-winner.html

Interesting Website - Picnik!!

OK, it's not Friday, and it's been a couple of weeks since I last shared a website. But, to make up for it, I am posting a website that is one dandy of a website!!
Have you ever wanted to do some fancy editing of your pictures? Or even just to turn them black/white or sepia-toned? Picnik will do all that, and SO MUCH MORE! Now this website looks free (I've just been playing around on it...) but it looks like you can also upgrade to get additional features. It will put borders on your pictures, help with blurriness, let you put writing on the pictures, even turn parts of the picture blurry or b/w while keeping the rest of it sharp & in full color. Bookmark this website - this is one you will surely want to use!
