I've never played around with the photo options in word before - these are pretty cool. Much cheaper than using Photoshop is you already have Word on your computer.

My recent post February Facebook Friday Hop-a-long

Hi Rhondda. Yay! Your own domain. I am just in awe of how much you have worked to getting your blog to where you want it. I remember July of last year during the Challenge and all your questions. I love that you took action and BAM here you are.

I'll have to check the search box on my blogspot blog. Love these little tips.

I'm the wrong person to ask this. I love helping others but often get burned out. It is difficult for me to say no and my first response is always yes or sure when it really should be No or let me think about it. I often overbook myself to the point I miss deadlines and forget appointments.

On that day it was a normal morning of getting my eldest ready for school and caring for my newborn. I walked my son to the bus stop and heard from a fellow parent that something happened in New York - plane crash. I said oh and my son got on the bus to school.

I went home and received a call from my sons school saying school had been canceled. His school was on an army base so all no essential staff had to leave including all the students who lived off base.

When my son came home (the principal drove him home as I didn't have a car) i listened in on the radio about the events of that day. We didn't have a tv and I look back on that as a blessing because I don't have the images seared into my head nor does my son.

Eerie is what i would describe the atmosphere. Shock too. I can remember thinking if this was a terrorist attack as mentioned what was next? surely they wouldn't stop at just this.

Nothing happened afterward and it surprised me as if you were declaring war on a nation would you just stop at this? Would this be the opportune time to attack as it was a weak spot? This is how my mind worked.

I remember people selling flags on the streets the next day (Capitalizing on the tragedy) and calls for war. I remember church members volunteering to help at ground zero and young men offering to join the war on terror not really understanding what it truly meant. I still get chills as I recall people in the church applauding them for answering the call to defend their nation while neglecting the fact that the reality of war is death and that their family may never see this young man again.

That day saw a shift in how America did things. America is still transitioning but I think that was the start.

I used to do a lot of paper crafts when I did penpalling. We used to exchange Friendship books and Decos and handmade postcards. I used to have tons of stamps, stickers and such but I no longer do this. Mailing overseas just got to me too much for my budget.
I love your designs.
