Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Looks like a winner to me.  We're about to pick up and move from California to Tennessee.  I think it's an exciting adventure to move to a different area.    

I have Print Shop by Broderbund and Photo Impact 12 by Ulead/Corel and they both have the "save as PDF" feature too.

Illustrator and Quark?  I don't know either but I bet they cost a gazillion dollars.  You can make nice easy brochures in Print Shop.

I'm almost finished with mine.  A few finishing details and it will be on it's way to the post office to ??????

Awwww . . . she looks like such a sweet girl.  Congratulations ! ! !

No, I don't do the day after Thanksgiving shopping thing, ever.  We're having our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow (Saturday), so I cooked all day today anyway.  I'll be doing most of my shopping online this year too.

Chrissi, that playhouse is adorable.  Your niece will be a very lucky girl if you manage it.

FANTASTIC ! ! !  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:     

Oh those naughty, naughty bears ! ! !     They are having fun though, I can tell. 

I love seeing Marley again, Jeremy, thanks for posting him.   

Hi Shelley,

I'd like to swap links.  I sent you an email.

thanks ! ! !

Whoa, good one, Brenda.  I'll remember that ! ! !

Congratulations, Jeremy.  How is Razzbeary getting on with Marley?

Thanks, Tracy.  And you tell that beautiful turkey, "Back at ya', Jive" ! ! !

Brenda, Tracy's original due date was the 25th.  My nephew's birthday is Dec. 25th and they always celebrate his birthday on June 25th.  The doctor has moved Tracy's due date to the 20th and says if she doesn't go into labor by the 22nd, he'll induce.  He says she is going to have a big baby, maybe over 9 pounds.  I'll be arriving in Tennessee on Dec. 15th so I'm praying she waits until then so I don't miss it.  I'll be in the delivery room with her.

Cute, Cute, Cute ! ! !   Your daughter and grandson are BEAUTIFUL.

Oh my, those dogs are the cutest ! ! !

I got one too.

I got the page that says "server not found".

Congratulations Cat and Jenn ! ! !

I'm not pregnant, (thank goodness, since I just turned 53) but my daughter, Tracy, is expecting her first (my first grandchild too) on December 20th.  It's a boy.  Here's a picture of us at her baby shower last month:

I fourth this motion.  Great idea.

I've PM'd you with my info, Tami. 

This was soooo fun last year, seeing everyone's ornaments as they received them in the mail.  :dance:  :dance: The anticipation was half of the fun.   And Tammy's tree was wonderful, yes, Tammy, make another tree this year.   I hope everyone joins in for the fun this year. 

Tami, thank you so much for organizing it again this year.

Me too, me too ! ! !

I think they're mighty cute ! ! !

Congratulations Lisa ! ! !  Your choir girl is the BEST ! ! !

Thanks Lisa.  My daughter loved my "elf self" so much last year that she already requested that I "elf myself" this year again.   I've bookmarked it.

Penny, that's too scary.  The ultimate clown nightmare. 

We're going to "Trunk or Treat" tonight at my daughter, Tracy's, church.  You back up your car in the church parking lot and hand out candy from the trunk of your car.  You get to dress up, of course.  I'm going to be a butterfly, Tracy will be Cat in the Hat and Tyson has a Whoopee Cushion costume.

Try shining one light behind your subject.  You might not get so much shadow.  I built a 32" x 32" square frame out of pvc pipe, put it up on a table and clamped 7 lights to it.  It's in our big storage room and I happened to have a twin size mattress stored so I propped it up against the wall behind the whole works and pin my back drops to it.  My lights have the metal bowl shaped reflector things with clamps and I have bright florescent bulbs in them.  With the clamps, you can move them around where ever you need them.
