A lesson Learned

So I found out the hard way that Goggle, Blogger & Picasa Web albums are all connected, and if you delete photos out of Picasa, they also get deleted off of your blog. SO that is why all my photos are missing, and It would be a huge project to re-post, so I am just gonna move forward from today and accept that all my previous posts are gone! Such a bummer! Thank you Italian Peasant for letting me know what it was that caused this to happen!

HELP!-what is wrong with my blog?

Can anyone tell me why suddenly all my pictures are gone??? I have no idea how to fix this, any thoughts fellow bloggers?

Freshman Already?

How is it even possible that my oldest is now officially a freshman in High School? I can not even believe it that in 3 short months he will walk into high school....Time fly's!

My new lens

I finally caved and bought the Macro lens I have been drooling over for quite some time now. I have been plying in my yard taking pictures of various flowers. I can't seem to put the camera down!! The detail this thing picks up is amazing!

Tag, I am it! You might be too!

I was recently tagged by a very cool fellow blogger-Junk Girl, check out her site, she has some great junk!!! So I have to write 6 things about myself and then pick 6 (I could pick so many!) other bloggers to tag. if I picked you, you have to pick 6 yourself and list 6 things about yourself!! Fun! Here goes:

1) I am married to my wonderful husband Mike, we have been married almost 8 years, together 11. Wow, times sure flies when you are having fun, and that we are, he is the love of my life and I couldn't imagine my life without him! He is very good to me and our boys, he cooks, cleans, and so much more! Can I just write about him?? :)

2) We have 3 wonderful boys! Austin 14, Nicholas 5 3/4, & Zach 4. They are all very good kids and we have so much fun watching them grow and become little people! They each have their own personalities, and are so much fun to be around every day!

3) My latest, most expensive obsession is Photography. I have become quite serious about it over the last year, and am hoping someday to be good enough to turn it into a "weekend" job. I love to create in so many ways, photos, scrapbooking, card making, paper crafts, junking, you name it! I love having something to do all the time!

4) I am a stampin up demonstrator, I mostly do monthly clubs to keep my business going. I love their products and think they are a great company!

5) I am a TV junky! Love TV watch it all the time, have many shows that are my "must see TV", I could not live without my DVR, and I can convince anyone that they need one as well!

6) I love music! Mostly rock and Country, but especially KEITH URBAN!!! He is a little of both! If you have never seen him in concert, you are missing out! I have currently seen him 6 times, #7 happens on June 27!!!! I would call him another one of my obesssions! Scroll down a few postes to see my latest Keith encounter!

ok now for my 6 fav's:

Artisan Award Entry

Stampin Up had their annual Artisan award contest again this year. So I decided to give it another shot, but unfortunately, I didn't win! What the heck are they looking for??? I really don't think I will enter again, not because I didn't win, but because you have to send all of your projects into them, and you don't get it back! Which now, having not won, I am a little sick about! I spent a lot of time and money on these projects, and now who knows where they will end up! I did have fun creating these projects and at least I have photos so I can duplicate them if I want!

Summer is coming!

Today I spent some time taking pictures of flowers, budding leaves and other signs that summer is coming! I could take pictures all day this time of year, there are so many great things to shoot! And these subjects always cooperate!
