So many things...Awards..Dreams

First and foremost, thank you all for the warm support that you have given me.  Thank you all for the laughter that you have brought into my life with your wonderful stories.  Thank you for the tears that I have shared with you when something was wrong.  Thank you for all the smiles that I have received when you had an awesome Magic Moment.  Thank you for being with me through the ups and downs.  It's been over four months now and still I sit in amazement that I have been blessed to meet such wonderful people.  I write from my heart and share my hopes and dreams with you as they come.

I have a new dream... I want to learn photography.  I am a happy go lucky when I have a camera kinda gal.  But yet lately I've wanted to learn more about photography.  When I receive a compliment on a picture, I am so happy.  I actually think I blush.  That always makes me wonder... why is it that we can see other's abilities but yet we can not see our own? 

I'm sitting here with this sinus infection wishing it would go away.  So I missed my posting yesterday.  So here are a few post-its that came out of these days.

Coming up next... Awards Are Here.  I have been so fortunate and lucky that I have met each and every one of you.  I am speechless when I receive an award.  My eyes fill with tears and my heart swells.  There is nothing better than being recognized by a fellow blogger.  To know that you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy reading all of yours.  It is a humbling experience.

How to make the Post-Its

I have had a few readers ask me how to make the post-its for the Tuesday Post-It link up with Supahmommy.  If you haven't checked her out by now, please head on over.

Welll....What are you doing here?  Go check her out.

Oh you are still here.  I guess you want to know how you make the Post-Its. 

The first thing is that you have to go here.

At that point it's very simple

You will first chose the color of your post-it by click one of the color on top of the big empty block.  So you could have yellow, pink, green, or mauve (I think).

Then you write something in the big empty block.  For instance, I typed: 

After you have finished typing, you choose the color that you want your writing to be.  These buttons are below the big empty space that you just typed in.  You can chose black, blue or red.

Next to that you can chose if you would like your writing on the left side or centered on the post-it.

After you have done all of this, you click the button create. 

At this point, I always chose the new option that came up, Save to your computer.  But you can chose Save to Flickr or Save to ImageShack if you wish.

Once its saved, you can use it.  You are done.  CONGRATS you made your first post-it.

I hope to see you all on Tuesday with your new post-its.  Be sure to join me here as well as Supahmommy to link up.
