My Memory is Just Fine!

I have been working on the birthday card for Karla's Great Aunt Caroline who will be turning 100 yrs old. This is the first time I will be making a card and I'm so excited about trying this craft. I guess this will be my first practice as I will then be making the cards for the swap also hosted by Karla and Beth.

I'm just a slow learner at this time. I'm still battling with how to post on my sidebar (ex: the above pic, I wanted to add to my sidebar, don't know HOW, Uggh!) and how to post the pictures with writing underneath each picture instead of showing all the pictures at one time and then having the write up underneath. Soooo, if anyone can help me out, please contact me. I tried to post a picture and my computer said my memory was low. Now what is up with that! I am starting to get burned out again. My computer should not be complaining to me about his memory (noticed I said He cause surely its not a She, as we know all us women have great memories, Ok, I'll give HE some credit as He is the one posting my words.

I guess I'll have to sleep on this again, I do seem to accomplish more in the morning. Until tomorrow.

Birds and Bonnets Vintage Workshop Swap

I have signed up for Karla's and Beth's "Birds and Bonnets Vintage Workshop Swap". I finally was able to upload the images after having a hectic time trying to do this. (I still need to learn how to use my computer). I was so disillusioned yesterday after trying and trying (I even stayed up until 2:00 AM trying, even my hubby and son could not understand what was going on with my computer or with me. I even called my brother in SA for help, but of course, since I really don't know computer language, I could not even communicate with my brother as to what I was trying to accomplish. Ugh!! I was so ready to just give up trying to figure it out and was ready to announce " I QUIT, The Computer has won, I will no longer blog if I can't even upload images and try to join swaps, I will just go and fade away into the sunset. But then, I thought, No, I will sleep on it and try again in the morning. So, for what ever reason, I really don't know what happened. I read the instructions again, and IT WORKED, the computer fairies sprinkled their fairy dust and everything uploaded as if magic! Soooo, I still belong to Blogland. So if you want to join the swap head on over to Karla's Cottage or Gathering Dust to sign up.
