another minor change
Last night after the kids were all in bed, I got to sit down with my blog and make a few more updates. Notice that incredible long list of UnFinished Objects??? Honestly, I am not even sure if that is all of them... but those were all that were listed in my excel spreadsheet that I started a few years ago.
And as of today there is something else new - Am I on a roll or what? I now have a Live Signature Line like my blogging mentors JudyL, MaryJ, and THE Bonnie of all Bonnies! :p
And I even figured a way to add it to the settings so that it is already here in each of my post templates each time I come to post! I feel so cool!
Funny how it doesn't take much to make me happy. :P

Good News - woo hoo, a wish come ture
Oh this is so cool!!! Notice anything different???? Yep, today I gave my blog a much needed update! and how about that header photo!!! WOW, I have even impressed myself! :P
With an software update of some sort (it said I needed it so I clicked OK) and about an hour of my time, wallah! I'm so pleased with my blog! For quite some time I have been wishing for a few "minor" changes. Like "label" listing and photos of the kids in the sidebar... and on and on...and thanks to a link that Crazy'boutquilts shared on one of her comments on Nickilee's new blog - I was able to go snoop around and learn some new tricks!
I'm not done yet... and I have seemed to have lost my lists -blogs, UFOs, and other stuff... but with time I will get them back ;)
Oh - and just in case you are wondering where the link is... http://magicwithblogs.blogspot.com/
This was SO SUPER helpful! I wish I had known about it ages ago!!! And I made all my changes in less than an hour. Imagine what I will come up with later on when I have more time to play around! ;P

PS - Something new is a blog list of my HGTV friends over on the sidebar. And something awesome, is that it arranges them in the top 5 that have made recent updates on their blogs! Isn't that cool!!! Go visit them and tell them I sent you. ;)

Stinky Quilt Update
Oh my!!! After posting just now, I scrolled down my blog and realized that I forgot to update my blog readers about my RWB Stinky Quilt!!!! Remember how I found it a few weeks ago - a top made by my mom... and as I was posting I mentioned how I wished I could get it quilted and use it this year for when we go home to 4th of July in Kentucky??
Well, I may get to! Following that post, I contacted my longarmer, Bonnie Hunter, and she said to send her my stinky quilt...that she'd have her gas mask ready! :c) Since I requested fast-n-easy quilting she is gonna try and work me in to her schedule!
The latest update is that on 6/2/08 she wrote saying it had arrived at her home... I know there is no guarantee that it will get done in time.. but there is a chance! and a "real" chance now that the stinky quilt is there at her home! How COOL is that!?!!

News
for readers who read both of my blogs- the following is a cut and paste :) ~bonnie
Good News, Great News, not so good news, & Bad news:
first the good news: Paul Thomas slept 7 straight HOURS Friday night! I went to bed the same time as the babies around 9:30pm after they were in their beds.... and Paul Thomas didn't not cry out until 4:30am!!! WHOOO HOOOO!
now, some not so good news: That same night, Nora was up twice :( with coughing and fever. I don't think she even knew I was by the bed trying my best to get her to take some Tylenol and although I didn't get the thermometer to know for sure the number, her head was extremely HOT - thankfully by morning it was gone.
and are you ready for the GREAT NEWS!!!??? Paul Thomas slept ALL NIGHT Saturday night and last night too!!! Could we be moving on to a new stage in life? I sure hope so!!! :P
and now the Bad news.... I sadly regret to tell you, last Thursday while David was playing in the floor with the kids after arriving home from work... he rolled over and SMASHED our digital camera and BROKE it! :( It was in his pant pocket with some keys - I know, I know...
Thankfully, it does still take photos but I have no idea what the photos look like until I upload them to the computer. Reminds me of the old fashioned way of taking photos - looking thru the viewfinder... *sigh*
Looks like we will be shopping for Camera number FIVE soon - as we can NOT live without taking photos! I hope to purchase one before our trip home to Kentucky so I can read all about how to use it before then.
So my question for the day is: Do you have a digital camera? If so what kind? What do you like/dislike about it??? We've only owned Cannon's in the past, but I'm open to other brands. Leave me a comment and tell me ;)
