Inspired by. . . before and after

Inspired by. . . before and after

I have a fun before and after project to share with you today. But before we get started, a bit of housekeeping.

For those of you who have purchased a "custom" domain [blog] address through blogger (without the blogspot in it) be warned!

My blog address expired two days ago. I never received an "expiring soon" notice, or any other kind of notice from Blogger that my domain was about to expire, and would I like to renew. By the time I realized what was happening, a day later, someone had already snatched up my domain!

I quickly purchased a new [better] domain from godaddy and re set my publishing info in blogger. It should be noted, unless you're comfortable messing with DNS settings, this process might be a bit intimidating. Also, as many of you know, changing your blog address messes with your RSS feeds, email subscriptions, etc.

I [think] I have everything fixed, set up correctly, etc. Time will tell.

A favor?

If you subscribe by email or RSS feed, would you leave a comment or shoot me a quick email so I know it's working? or not? I'd be very grateful. Thank you.

We now resume your regularly scheduled....

 

It's my dad's 83rd birthday today!

He's been buggin' asking me to print him some pictures of his adorable new grand-baby, who just turned 3 months old. Yes, I've been procrastinating on the pictures for three months! It takes time to download, format and print pictures, and I just haven't had the extra time. I knew the pictures would still be there when I got around to it!

Well, being his birthday was coming up, I figured I should make it up to him.

I found this old frame at a yard sale . . .

 

 

. . . and turned it into this:

 

 

Our little Sophia Lillian, is named after my dad's mom, Lillian, who just happened to love owls. When I saw these scrapbooking elements I knew they'd be the perfect addition.

 

Happy birthday, Dad!

 

What have you done with your photos lately?

Have a wonder-filled day!
