eBay Song....

Hiya! I wanted to try my hand at inserting a video (for when, down the road, I'd be inputting my own created videos) but, for the time being, here's a pre-made one. It's the popular eBay song, done to the tune of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want it That Way".

I just love this eBay song cuz it fits me to a "T" --- right down to the A+++ for scoring someone.

For those who have never heard/seen it, I hope you enjoy it, too! :-)

Make sure you turn off my I-Pod, before clicking on the video. ;-)

Li'l "funny ha-ha" ......

Someone in "Canuck"ville sent Ellen this picture, for her segment: "What's wrong with these photo's photos".......

Co-operation

Her comment was:- "I have no idea what they’re doing, but they’re smiling --- so they’re doing it right! It’s nice they co-operate." giggle giggle giggle

Cute, eh? :-)

Blog tip for "newbies"

I'm sure most of you are already aware of this, but for those who aren't.......

Did you know there was a way of being notified each time someone left a comment on your blog? Well, I wasn't aware of this, until just recently. There were a few times when I missed comments that "new followers" and/or "new visitors" had left on previous posts. I tried to scout them out but it meant reading every post I had posted and trying to remember how many comments had previously been left on that particular post. My memory just isn't what it used to be (lol) so I was finding this verrrrrrry difficult, not to mention time-consuming! lol

Then, I decided to do some sleuthing and this is what I discovered:-

On Blogger (or I'm sure other accounts are similar), do the following:-

1. while logged into your blog, click on "Customize"


2. go into the "Posting" tab and click on "Comment Moderation"


3. then click on "Comment Settings"


4. scroll down to the very bottom where it says:- "Comment Notification E-mail"


5. insert your e-mail addy


6. click on "save settings"

You will now receive an e-mail each time someone leaves a comment on your blog. Not only that, but the e-mail notification will let you know which post the comment was left on. You can even read the comments in your e-mail, w/out going back to your blog each time.

Now, how cool is that, eh? :-) I shouted "Eureka" when I discovered this! LOL Hope it helps someone else!

Cherry Blossoms

I've been soooo intrigued by those who have gotten into digi scrapbooking and/or taking photographs and jazzing them up w/ colour, by using Photo Editor, etc.

Sooooo, I decided to give it a go, utilizing Photo Editor. I chose the photo I took in January of a beautiful sunset, but w/ a sparse/sad looking tree. Here's the original shot.....



Using Photo Editor, I added beautiful pink cherry blossoms on the tree, changed the sky colour to blue/grey and the grass to green. Didn't I do a great job??


JUST KIDDIN' ---- the picture/colours/scenery were created by none other than God and/or Mother Nature. (I just took another picture of it! --- tee-hee)

Gotcha, eh? LOL LOL

I'd still like to get into digi scrapbooking, tho --- especially the Stampin' Up one. Does anyone know where I could get a copy for a reasonable price? I u/stand that the US won't sell to Canada and here it's $110.00. :-(

Yipppeeee! I won some Blog Candy!!

I won amazing Blog Candy over at Michele’s blog : http://scrap-n-dance.blogspot.com/

Thanks so much to Michele for offering this!! It was a gift certificate to Oh My Crafts ~ and I could choose any cart. I wanted. It was really hard to choose, but I chose “Sentimentals”. I love the li’l owl on it. Isn't he just the cutest --- holding a li'l note?! The other designs on it are cute, as well, and I can't wait to play. :-)

If you haven't been to Michele’s blog, I suggest you go there straight away! She does amazing work!!

Check out her latest design of incorporating the Martha Stewart “iron gate” Around the Page punch into a Cricut cut file. She even made it into a “circle”. How cool is that, eh? And….she’s offering the cut files for both the Gypsy and those who don’t have one --- for Design Studio. Very kind of her!

Thanks, again, Michele! I love my blog candy!! :-)

I've been given the Beautiful Blogger Award!!

OMG, I've been given yet another award. This time, the "Beautiful Blogger" award, by the sweet Mary aka ScrappingGrandma. I'm wondering if she forgot that she had already given me the Sunshine Blog award?! But, nonetheless, I feel totally honored to have received this award and now I'm going to get a swelled head! LOL

I told this to my hubby and he said:- "I'm not sure whose head will be swelling the most --- yours or Bailey's". LOL (Bailey has been getting a lot of compliments that he's either cute/adorable/sweet/precious, from complete strangers, whilst on our walks.)

Anyway, thank you sooooo much, Mary. You are very sweet and you really made my day!!

This award is to be passed on to 15 bloggers of my choice. So here I go:-
