Fully Retired

2009-11-06T13:17:00.002-06:00

I have completely retired from digital designing. I plan on just designing things for my own needs. My heart just isn't into this anymore. Thanks for all of those who supported me. I don't know if I will post to this blog at all or if I will just delete it. If you still want to keep up with me, check out www.memyselfandpoppy.blogspot.com . This is where my personal blog is located.

Want a free kit?

2009-07-13T16:57:00.003-05:00

I have a new kit in the store. It is called Rise and Shine. It is filled with these cute little critters as you can see on the preview. There are 10 papers, all unique and different along with 20 different elements. There are 2 elements that have been recolored twice each, so not a lot of duplicates is different colors.

I have a special going on right now. If you spend $2.00 in my store, I will send you a coupon for this kit free. My store does not send me notifications on who orders what, so you will need to send me an email with your store receipt in order for me to send you the coupon. You can email me at digiheaven (at) gmail (dot) com. This offer is good until September 13th, so don't miss out. You can find my store by clicking here.

Scorching hot sale

2009-07-07T14:22:00.002-05:00

Groovy scraps is having a scorching hot sale July 8th-15th. It is such a fitting name for this sale since the Austin Texas area has been experiencing record breaking heat for the past 3 weeks. It wasn't as bad yesterday and today due to the "cold front" that came through. Unfortunately, the rain missed us this time. This past weekend, we had an Austin Oakhills Stake fast in hopes to bring rain to this area. We even had Jeremy fast. He did really well considering he is only 7. I won't force him to fast every month, but I think this was very important. I am very proud of him and how well he did.

Anyway, I digress. Groovy Scraps is having a sale. My entire store will be 35% off July 8-15. You can find my store here. I don't really have anything new in the store, but these 3 kits haven't been in the store long and I haven't really focused on them.

While you are over at GS, check out our challenges. My challenge is something different each month. I get bored easily and didn't want it to always be the same. This month, it is a lyric challenge using the song 1-2-3-4 by the Plain White Ts. You can use all or part of the song. There are also several new designers at the store and that means lots of new challenges. If you find yourself stuck in a rut, jump over and check out all the cool, new challenges we have going on at GS.

Father's day sale

2009-06-19T15:30:00.003-05:00

I have been sadly neglecting my designing and my store, but I am vowing to do better. I need to design more and advertise more. I think I have probably lost all of my viewers for my blog as I have only done 2 posts the entire year. You can tell by my sell figures too. I really do enjoy designing and I really want to design more.

So, I am having a sale in honor of Father's day. Everything in my store is 50% off through Sunday. I have several new kits over the past few months. Some of them are from my recent personal use grab bag and then my new kit that I released in April. I hope to see you at Groovy Scraps. You can find my store here.

In addition to my sale, I have also posted a new challenge. The challenge for June is to create a layout using all or part of the lyrics for the Plain White T's song "1 2 3 4". I love that song. It is so sweet. For completing my challenge, you will get my part of the collaborative kit "Island Luau". Here is a preview of the kit. You can find the challenge here.
If you want to find out more about my personal life, you can check out my personal blog at http://memyselfandpoppy.blogspot.com/ . I can't promise it is that interesting, but you can give it a shot if you want.

Prosperity

2009-04-30T10:02:00.004-05:00

I finally have a new kit in the store. It has been a few months since I have put a new kit in my store. I still enjoy designing, but life gets crazy. I'm sure most people know what I mean. I actually finished this a few weeks ago, but I'm just now getting around to putting it in the store. You can purchase this kit at Groovy Scraps for $3.90.

As a gift, here is a small sample of the kit. Remember, please don't share my links. Send them to my blog.

A new grab bag

2009-02-04T14:47:00.003-06:00

I have a personal use grab bag available in my store. This grab bag contains 2 full size kits, 1 element pack and 4 mini kits. I won't show you what they look like though. That will remain a surprise. I will reveal what is in the grab bag part way through the month. This will be available only through the month of February, then each of the items will be available individually or the entire bag will be $15.00. Don't miss out on this great deal.

A new kit and a sale

2008-12-31T16:14:00.005-06:00

We are having a sale at Groovy Scraps. I am offering 40% off of everything in my store. This sale will only last a week.

I know I haven't been super active lately on my blog, but I do have a new kit finally. It is called Holiday Cheer. It is available here in my store at Groovy Scraps. Below is a preview. I hope I am not too late for your holiday photos. I have tons of photos I need to scrap so I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I have a few brag book pages to give you in honor of my new kit. I hope you can use these cute brag book pages for your Holiday photos. Please do not share my links. Send them to my blog instead.

Crew's Journey

2008-12-04T20:19:00.001-06:00

I stumbled across a blog that has really touched my heart. This is a blog about a tiny little baby named Crew. He was a twin born at 28 weeks. His twin brother passed away prior to birth due to twin to twin transfusion syndrome. Crew is fighting for his life now. He is progressing and doing really well for such a tiny little guy. I read this blog every day and I have added Crew to my prayers each day. You can read about him here. His mom is a digital scrapbooking designer also. The designers she sells with have created a kit to help the family pay for Crew's NICU cost, which will be huge, even with insurance. I didn't hesitate to purchase it. It is on sale at Plain Digital Wrapper. I don't usually advertise for kits that are not my own, for my CT designers or from one of my stores, but this is an exception.

I'm posting about this on both blogs. This is a very worthwhile kit. It is huge and adorable.

When you say your prayers, please include Crew. He could use all the prayers he can get.

Old Fashion Christmas Add-on

2008-12-02T08:46:00.003-06:00

I added a little bit onto my kit "Old Fashion Christmas" and redid the preview. I have learned so much about previews in the 14 months I have been designing. I used to think I needed to make the nice and neat so you could see everything that was in them. I have found people seem to like them better when they are a little messy. Go figure.

I know there are a few isolated people who purchased my Old Fashion Christmas kit last year, so I am making the add-on available as a freebie on my blog. For those of you who may not have purchase it, right now is the perfect time to do so. It is on sale for 50% off. That makes this kit only $1.88. Some of the pictures I used in this kit remind me of Norman Rockwell photos of long ago. The Dover book I used was the best. I hope you enjoy this kit. Everything in my store is currently 50% off for the Christmas season. I will be slowly redoing my previews and maybe even adding to the kits I have in the store. I would love to see what you make with my kits, so feel free to give me a link to your gallery if you use something I made.

My sister-in-law just emailed me some sad news. For those LDS members, Elder Wirthlin died last night. He was 91. He died in his sleep of old age. The little blurb she sent said he worked in his office all the way up to Thanksgiving. He served the Lord all the way to the end. He will be missed, but I am sure he is enjoying a happy reunion with his wife.

Blog award and 2 daily downloads

2008-11-30T12:17:00.004-06:00

I got a blog award from one of my former CT members, Robin. I need to list 7 things I am thankful for. This is an easy one for me as I have a lot to be thankful for. I am also suppose to tag 7 people, but I don't really like trying to tag people, so if you read this, then consider yourself tagged.
1. My amazing husband
2. My 3 great kids (I could have listed them individually, but I thought that was cheating)
3. each day that I have with my mother-in-law
4. My husband's job
5. The restored gospel of Jesus Christ
6. The chance to live in a free country
7. My parents, brothers and sisters

Groovy Scraps will be starting a Christmas daily download starting tomorrow. It will run through Christmas day or eve, I can't remember which. When you go to the forum area at GS, then click on downloads on the top bar. Each download will be available for only 24 hours. At the end, you will end up with the entire kit, called Santa's Kiss. These are the 2 days I have contributed. Mine will be available on the 15th and the 24th. Along with the daily download, my entire store will be on sale for 50% off through the 24th. I don't have anything new in the store, sorry. I don't know when I will get something new either.
My friend Aimee is going to have a daily download on her blog. It will start tomorrow. She is an amazing designer. You can find her blog here. Don't miss out on these 2 great chances to get some Christmas kits to scrap those holiday photos.

My Strength

2008-11-03T09:37:00.002-06:00

I finally got everything together and in the store. Now presenting our charity kit called My Strength. All the proceeds for this kit will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This kit is huge-230 MB worth of scrapbooking joy. The papers and the elements are beautiful. This kit can be purchased at Groovy Scraps. It is a steal at only $6.00. Thanks to Kim Cameron, Tracy Drane, Wddesignz, Demiurgia Designs and Biebels Scraps for their contributions to this kit. I hope everyone can help out with this amazing cause. I know first hand how hard this disease can be on an individual and on a family.

Semi-retiring

2008-10-29T10:46:00.003-05:00

It has been a busy month and I meant to post this a long time ago. The end of the month snuck up on me though. I am going to be retiring, sort of. Life has just gotten so busy that I can't keep up with everything. I can't find time to design much and the stress of having to get a certain number of products in the stores each month, plus collaborative kits for each site was too much for me. I didn't have any time with my family and I didn't like that. I am having a huge sale at each of my stores. Everything is 50% off at Scraphead, Scrapper's Zone and Studio Style Designs. You can find the link in my side bar.

I will be staying on at Groovy Scraps to do some charity kits and their monthly collaborative kits. I doubt I will put anything in the store. If I decide to design anything, I will give it away for free on my blog.

Thanks to all of you who have bought my products and downloaded my freebies. My family is the most important thing to me and it is very important that I have time with them. I made a go at digital designing when I couldn't work and my family really needed the money. I was blessed to get on in several stores very quickly. I did not make the kind of money I had hoped to, but I really enjoyed the process. It gave me something even more important. I needed some sort of distraction during a very difficult time in my life and designing provided that for me. As I was typing, that came to me-an epiphany as to why I was getting accepted to all of these stores. I think that distraction was the most important thing for me during that time. Things are much better now. I feel better, I have an answer as to what is wrong with me and I have a treatment plan to help some. Having MS has brought many blessing to me. I never thought such a horrible disease could bring so many blessings.

Speaking of MS, I will have a charity kit for the National MS Society in stores soon. It is a collaborative kit by some of the designers at Groovy Scraps. As soon as it is in the store, I will post about it.

So, take advantage of my retirement sales for the rest of the week. I hope you find some great deals and find something you like.

Big oops

2008-10-06T14:31:00.002-05:00

Someone pointed out to me that they did not get brag book pages. Instead, they got my part of the Daily Download for this month. It seems I goofed. I picked the wrong file when I uploaded the brag book pages. I did instead put my entire part of the kit. Here is the corrected link for the brag book pages. For those of you who downloaded the initial zip, I hope you enjoy my part of the daily download. This is what I get for trying to post a freebie while I am also trying to go out of town.

Nightmare at Scraphead

2008-10-01T05:51:00.004-05:00

Halloween is now a month away. The daily download at Scraphead this month is called "Nightmare at Scraphead". It is a Halloween themed kit. It is adorable. I don't have a preview of the entire thing since it is a daily download and we only do previews for the individual day. I do have a treat for you though. We are doing a blog train with brag book pages from the daily download.

link removed-see above post

Since this is a blog train, here are the other participants. I am posting this in the wee hours of the morning. The others may not have their part up yet. If they don't, please check back later to get their part. Also, please check out our forum at Scraphead to get the entire kit, day by day, so you can make your own full sized LO for you little trick-or-treaters. I think this is all of them. If I find out differently, I will add the new links. I hope you enjoy these brag books.

Birthday Celebration

2008-09-17T11:07:00.001-05:00

My family has so many birthdays in September. My BIL had a birthday on
the 6th, my daughter's best friend (she is like my adopted daughter)
had a birthday on the 5th. My niece had a birthday on the 15th. My
birthday is coming up on the 23rd. Lastly, my son Andrew, has a
birthday on the 29th. With all of those birthdays, I decided I would
have a birthday sale. This sale is going on in all of my stores.
Everything will be 50% off starting the 15th and ending the 30th of
September.

One of my fellow designers at Scraphead, Cassel, has a bunch of new PSP scripts in her store. She even has a free one available for you to try out. I don't use PSP, so I can't say anything about them personally, but they look great.

Last, but not least, I have a gift for you. It has been quite a while since I have had a freebie. I'm sorry. Truth is, I haven't been able to get much designing done at all the past few months. I have been focusing on my family and my health. I did start this kit during the Olympics. I got a few papers done and some flowers and ribbons. I also made gold, silver and bronze metals, but then I got busy and didn't finish it. I feel a little silly putting an Olympic kit in the store when the Olympics have been over for almost a month. So, I am going to give away the papers I made for this kit. I hope you enjoy them. Maybe I'll give away the elements I have made at a later date.

Patriot Day chat and sale

2008-09-11T10:35:00.001-05:00

I know it has been a while since I have blogged. Things have been busy in my real life. I haven't had much time to do anything with designing lately. I have been trying to get school work going consistently with the kids lately. My teenage daughter got her learners permit yesterday, so we will start the driving part of driver's ed soon. It is a scary thought, but I am excited for her. She is pretty responsible, but she can be a little scatter brained at times. I have told her she is forbidden to talk on the phone while she is driving until she is at least 18. The State of Texas backed me up. We learned last week that it is illegal for teenagers to drive and talk on the phone.

Now for a little bit of designing news. At Groovy Scraps, we are having a sale. We are calling it Patriot day. This sale is on anything patriotic. The sales is for today and tomorrow. All patriotic kits are 50% off. My Military Girl kit is on sale 50% off. We are also going to have a chat tonight. There will be lots of freebies to be given away at the chat. We hope you can join us. The chat room is here.

At Scraphead, our daily download is all about coupons. Todays download is a coupon for my Oak Iceshimmer kit for free. Check out Scraphead's daily download forum to find all of the great coupons. Coupons are only available for a single day, so check back every day to find new coupons. You can get some great free kits and some great discounts also.

My friend is having a birthday sale

2008-08-28T10:39:00.004-05:00

My friend Aimee is having a sale at her stores. Her stuff is great. Her kits are very full of great elements that are beautiful. Here is a layout I made with her kit, Mr Golden Sun. It is adorable. Don't miss out on this great sale.

A Boring post

2008-08-18T13:14:00.005-05:00

Sorry, not much going on to post about. I have had to take a little break from designing for a while. I have a pretty busy schedule the next few weeks and I just don't have time to get a lot of designing done. I will only be doing the collabs for a few sites. I am working on an olympic kit that I hope to have finished soon. It is going to be a fairly small kit, which means it will be very inexpensive. Check back sometime next week and I hope it will be done by then.
Rachael starts dance today. She is so happy to be back to dancing. She is going to have a busy dance schedule again. She will have tap on Monday. On Tuesday, she is going to be a teacher assistant for a basic combo class for ages 5 and 6. She is super excited about that. After the combo class, then she takes her modern class. Once VIR (Visions in Rhythm) starts, then she will have VIR after modern. On Wednesday, she has ballet/pointe. They moved that class back 30 minutes, so she will be able to get to church on time on Wednesday night. On Thursday, she has Jazz and then will have VIR again once that starts.

Andrew and Jeremy start cub scouts the first week of September. We have been doing popcorn sales the past week. Jeremy was so excited about selling popcorn because he got to wear his uniform. He said he is a real scout now. He is super cute in his uniform. Jeremy is the one with the silly grin and no hat. He can never make a serious face when he gets his picture taken.
Andrew and Stan have been riding bikes every morning. They are training to do the MS bike ride in October. The ride is from San Antonio to Corpus Christie. They won't ride that far this year, but they are planning to do the whole ride next year. At Groovy Scraps, we are going to be working on a collab kit for the MS ride. All proceeds from the kit will be donated to the NMSS. We are still in the planning phase of this collab kit, so watch for details coming soon.

At Groovy Scraps, we are having a $1 sale on selected kits. This sale will go through the 21st. Done miss out on some great deals.

Here are some layouts I have been working on. This first one is my niece, Grace. She is so cute. I used a kit called Denim and Daisies by Kim Cameron.
This is a layout I did for a challenge at Groovy Scraps. It actually served double duty. I used it for the scraplift challenge at Groovy Scraps and the word challenge at Scraphead. The word challenge was to use the word "Love" on a LO. You can find the credits for this LO here.

Groovy Scraps Grand Opening

2008-08-01T19:25:00.005-05:00

Groovy Scraps is having their grand opening this month. The celebration will last all month, but the sales will only last 1 week. For the entire month, we will be having a scavenger hunt. Follow the clues to get our cool, retro mega kit, Groovy. This kit is straight out of the 70's. It will be great to scrap my elementary school pictures. I guess you know how old I am now, LOL.

In celebration of our grand opening, we will be having a 50% off sale from now until August 7th. Don't miss out on the great deals

I finally have a new kit in the stores. This is my kit, Robbie the Robot and Friends. Robbie is the chrome robot down by the title. I think this turned out really cute. I'll be making a mini kit this weekend to give away next week on my blog. I was going to wait to release it until I had the freebie done, but I wanted to release it for the sale mentioned above.

The youth at church are doing a play about the birth and resurrection of Christ called Savior of the World and this week has been tech week. I have spent 4-6 hours a day at rehearsals. It could be worse though-my daughter has been there 8+ hours each day. They had their first performance today and they did a fabulous job. I get to actually be a part of the audience tomorrow and see it from the front rather than the back tomorrow. Here is a picture of Rachael and Aaslie, my daughter and my niece, in their angel costumes.

My Robot

2008-07-29T19:36:00.000-05:00

Blogger is letting me post my photo now, so here is my robot.

Happy Tuesday

2008-07-29T09:22:00.003-05:00

I don't have much to post, but it has been almost 2 weeks since I posted and I wanted to post at least once a week, so I guess I am behind as usual. I have been super busy the past 2 weeks. My health is still giving me problems. My MS flare has subsided for the most part except the fatigue and heat intolerance has been worse. However, the steroid treatment I did for the flare has left me diabetic. Most of the time, steroid induced diabetes only lasts the duration of the steroids, but I have been off of them over 3 weeks and I am still having elevated blood sugars. I am on insulin now. I am trying to be very careful about my diet. I have gone back to weight watchers and I am working on my weight. It is so hard for me to stay away from carbs. I love carbs. I don't know how people eat on the Atkins diet. I can eat vegetarian if I had to, but carb free is so hard for me. I am trying to eat only complex carbs. Last night, I splurged and had some ice cream with my son. I took him to see Space Chimps and we went to Amy's ice cream after the show. I was shocked that my blood sugar was normal after that. Sometimes, it makes no sense.

I am working on a new kit. It is called Robbie the Robot and Friends. I made some cute robots for this kit along with some of the regular LO elements, like bows, ribbon, flowers, clips, buttons, etc. I tried to post one of the robots so you could see it, but blogger is having problems and I get an error every time I try to post a photo. I'll try again later if I have a chance. This is the last week for Savior of the World practice and the show is on Friday and Saturday. I doubt I will be home much this week.

I hope everyone has a great week. I'll try to post more often.

My first blog award

2008-07-14T17:35:00.002-05:00

I just got my first blog award. I was so excited. This was given to me by Snowraven. Snowraven designs with me at Scraphead. I have really enjoyed getting to know her in the few short months I have been designing at Scraphead. Snowraven's kits are so unique. They have a sort of midieval look to them. I'm not sure that is the right word, but I can't think of how else to describe them. I would also use antique as a good word to describe her designs. They are really pretty.

This award is to be given to 7 bloggers. I was one of her 7 and this is what she wrote:
Six to Patricia http://digiheaven.blogspot.com/ for her ability to cope -Patricia has MS and has difficulties seeing colours due to a damaged nerve -but she does not give up and designs more stuff all the time. I admire that !!! We will be doing a collab kit soon.

I mentioned to her once that I had to use a color palate when I designed. I have had optic neuritis 3 times. Optic neuritis is very common among MS patients. It can cause colors to become muted. My color vision is really bad when I am in the middle of a bout of optic neuritis, but in between, it gets better. However, I cannot easily use the hue/saturation slider in Photoshop and match the color without using the number of that color. I can't trust my eyes to match the colors properly. Even when I use Artrage to design something, I use the RBG color numbers to get the exact color. I wouldn't want any of you to unzip one of my kits and the colors don't match. That would not be good.

Now the hard part. I have to nominate 7 people for this award. It actually won't be that hard. These are in no particular order except the order in which they come to my brain.

First- Amy: Still a Mom. Amy is a member of a forum with me. This forum is called January 2002 Mommies. I joined this group when I was pregnant with Jeremy. I have been chatting with these women since then. We all have children born in January of 2002. Amy joined the group after Cal was born. She has 2 beautiful boys. Both of her boys have autism. She blogs about her family. Her boys keep her running. She is such an inspiration to me. Her boys keep her running and her little Charlie is going to give her gray hair.

Second- Corrine: 4kids no dog. Corine is a friend of mine from church. She and her family just moved to Hawaii. I miss her. I love reading her blog. She is an excellent writer. She can make the simplest story so interesting. She comes up with the funniest things. She recently figured out where the wicked witches of the east went to retire. I never would have guessed they were in Hawaii, but apparently they are. She recently tagged me and I have still yet to answer that tag. I haven't forgotten Corrine. I'll get to it.

Third- Robin's World of Scrap or Crap. Robin is one of my CT members. She has a great blog. I don't get to read it as much as I should. I get busy and check it out every 2 weeks or so. She makes some great layouts for me and her blog is really interesting.

Fourth- Kim Cameron: Our Journey. I am on Kim's CT. I also "work" for Kim. She and Tracy own the soon to be opened Groovy Scraps. I am one of the designers there. They use to be part owners of Make it Scrappy before it closed down. She is one of the sweetest people I know. When I first started designing, she was the only person that gave me constructive criticism about my designs. She taught me so much about how to be a better designer. She has also been a great friend. I noticed that Kim was nominated by Tracy Drane for this award. This just goes to show you what a wonderful person she is.

Fifth-Confessions of an overwhelmed and immeasurably blessed mom. This blog belongs to a woman I do not know. It is one of those blogs that I found by following the links on other people's blogs. I almost never keep reading blogs this way, but this blog really touched me. When I first found the link, I read everything she wrote about her wonderful son Jack. Her son was not suppose to live. However, he is 2 years old now. He has a lot of medical problems that will plague him the rest of his life, but he seems like a normal 2 year old in many ways. You can tell through his mom's writing how blessed they are to have him in their life.

Sixth-Bridget: Digiscrapper4life. Bridget is a designer with me at Scraphead. She and I have been helping each other out by critiquing each others designs. She has given me some very good feedback on my designs. I have really enjoyed getting to know Bridget and I look forward to seeing our friendship grow.

Seventh-Suzanne: Here is another of my January 2002 mommies. She runs a blog about decluttering your house. I pop in there and read it occasionally, but I talk with Suzanne a lot more in our forum. She has been a huge support to me as I learn to deal with having MS.

So there is my list. If you have been given this award, here are your instructions:
1. The winner can put the logo on her/his blog.
2. Link the person you received the award from.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links of those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs of the persons you've nominated.

I have been playing around on one of those "you look like this celebrity" type sites. These are so funny. It is amazing how you can get different results depending up the picture you use. I am not surprised that this says I look like Rickie Lake. I have actually been told that quite a bit. I have a new haircut now that frames my face even more and I think it make me look even more like Ricki Lake.

I did my daughter, Rachael and it says she looks like Rachel Stevens by 78%. I didn't know who Rachel Stevens was, so I looked her up. She is a British pop star. Next, she looked like Ashley Simpson, then Lacey Chabert (I don't know her either), then Brook Burns, then Shirley Temple, then Jennifer Love Hewitt, the Cynthia Nixon, then Zoe Lucker and lastly JK Rowling. I think some of these are so funny. If my daughter looks like all of these people, then do all of these people look alike? I don't think Shirley Temple looks anything like Jennifer Love Hewitt or JK Rowling. I also did my husband. It didn't quite know what to do with him. The first match was Minnie Driver. WHAT??? It also said Buddy Holly and Hugh Heffner. He is my stud, but I don't think he looks anything like Hugh Heffner. That is fine too. Hugh is ancient.

The other thing that is a lot of fun on this site is the Look-alike meter. It will tell you whether your kids look like mom or dad. Everyone always tells me that Rachael looks exactly like me, however, this site says she is an even blend of Stan and I. Jeremy looks more like me by 13%. Andrew looks more like me by 21%. These results are completely opposite of what I would have expected. Andrew is always getting told he looks like his dad.

I think this would make a fun scrapbooking challenge. What do you think? If this was a challenge on your favorite forum, would you do it? The challenges I run are a mix of many different things. I don't have a common theme to my challenges. I am always looking for new challenge ideas, so if you have something you would like to see done in a challenge, feel free to leave suggestions. I want my challenges to be something people really want to do and I don't want them to be boring.

Lastly, here are some layouts I have been working on. Some of them are for challenges at Scraphead and Scrapper's Zone.

There is a lot more, but I should have put the LO on here first. I wish blogger would allow you to post a photo below the text instead of only giving you a choice of above and to the side. When I write out my entire post first, then I have to drag my photos down under my text. I know you are probably thinking "Why is she telling me about this?" so I won't bore you with it any more. I hope everyone has a great day.
