Michelle
Millie: love your story about your mother-in-law....
Daphne: yes I heard it will be a cold winter. Here in Minnesota, we had snow flurries this morning...Snow showers predicted this evening and tomorrow.....I don't think it will stick to the ground though...just slushy....
As for the birds....for all you you who don't know, they will stick around in the winter if you feed them. I always have assorted seeds, peanuts and suet out all winter and have loads of birdies all winter long......Hint though....suet is good for them in winter because they need the extra fat....I have a good recipe for suet if anybody wants it....People at work laugh at me saying "You cook for your bird!!"....yes indeed I do...I wuvs them....
Michelle
Jodi: What a honor to have your work highlighted in Teddy Bear Review. Congratulations....
Michelle
Wendy, Wendy, Wendy......I know how you feeeel. I had no clue what I was doing either....So, chin up...There is bound to be somebody amoungst our teddy bear friends who can help.....I guess I'm back to being a moral support for you......
Bear Hugs

You are too funny Wendy...I edited my post with another idea Patty of Baronebears sent me. See above...I tagged it on to my post to you re: what Quy sent me....Maybe this could help in shriking your pictures...
Michelle
Wendy: this is blind leading the blind here, but Quy (the Teddy Talk Technical support person) sent me this link to understand about posting....This may help.....

And Patty from Baronebears sent me this:
Here's an easy powertoy I use for resizing photos. Click on this link and download. Then whenever you right click on a photo, you will have the option to "resize photo". Click on that and you will get a window that gives you size options. I use small or handheld sizes for posting here. It's free, easy and quick.

Wendy: I feel for you....This coming form a person who just three days ago figured out how to post pictures...I am not a good source...BUT...I am lending moral support to you.....Be rest assured, somebody will know the answer....

Karen: you are so right.....I think all of Gods creatures are beautiful.....I can't tell you how many animals I have rescued and nurtured over the years. Somehow the lost always seem to find my home and I have been able to reunite many with their owners....
Bear Hugs to all those people who help the animals...
Michelle
Paula and Chrissi: Those are great tips. I do have a question....when painting on the back (I never heard of this before but am intrigued), what kind of paint/markers do you use (oh don't forget brand names)....
Chrissi: I never heard of Shiva Oil Stiks....where can you buy them and do you shade with them like you do with any kind of color pencils? Do you have to heat set them?
For the prisma color pencils...do you need to heat set them too?
Doreen: I am so glad you brought this topic up...there is so much to learn....So I'm tagging on to your question....Hope you don't mind....
Michelle
Tami: I just love the squirrel pictures!!!
Claire: What a fun story....don't you just love these little creatures...Every winter I always make sure they get fed....I laugh because in the dead of winter, I have fat squirrels and I can always tell when a new one visits my house because they look so skinny....yes I make sure that any wild life who is hungry, gets a good feeding in winter....
Now for those who are appalled, please don't judge....Racoon, squirrels, rabbits, deer... I can't stand it when they look hungry....I can afford it and when food is scares in the blistery Minnesota winters, I make sure I don't see their suffering....
Michelle
Claire Wrote she likes: Sweet Home Alabama and Legally Blond
I love those two movies too...And I forgot another one--Steal Magnolias....
Michelle
Oh Wendy---beautiful birds....So you like to gamble? So does my aunt...She is 80 years old and she and her friend go to the casinos once a week....they have a ball....Glad you got some money back....It would not be very nice of the casino to take your money!!!
