rollyo posting easy

I love to scrapbook and make cards. When I read about rollyo, I knew what to post. My listing is #321321321--I tried to post it in my name, but it does appear in my folder. In case you're interested I recommend splitcoaststampers.com for scrapbook & card making ideas; cropmania.com for local scrapbooking activities and crops; stampinup.com for stamping supplies; twopeasinabucket.com for sayings, titles, quotes, and layouts; and stampsbyjudith.com because she makes the best stamps! I've taken a couple of her daughter's classes and have met her at the Great American Scrapbooking event in Chantilly every June. There are quite a few other scrapbooking fans who have posted their rollyos, so my list may grow!

avatars are fun!

I made an avatar on Yahoo. I tried to make my avatar look like me (I think it does a little bit) and she's walking a penguin! (I love penguins--I even collect them!) I haven't figured out how to save it to post it somewhere else. I also tried glassgiant.com and made a ticket to Oliver, the musical I saw at the Greenbelt Arts Center on Saturday. Random kitten generator is so cute. I have four cats myself, so I wooed and awed over the precious kittens pictured on the site. Cute, cute cute!!!

rss--what fun!

I stayed up late last night to try to finish 23 things. I've still have a few more things to do, but I think I can finish before the end of the week. RSS intrigues me very much. I'm a news junkie, so having some of my favorite sites gathered together to look at is a real treat---Drudgereport, CNN, Fox News, BBC, ABC news, etc are some of my regular stops. It was interesting to see how many have rss links to gather up. I also discovered that there are many library related sites, including one of my favorites-- the comic strip Overdue. I'm going to log on googlereader.com soon to see what new things are waiting for me. I had to create a new e-mail on google, but that's OK. It can be a catch-all for other things. Yeah!

catching up

I've been catching up on 23 things. Most things have gone well. I'm still having flickr recognize my yahoo e-mail so I can post some pictures. Flickr has some very talented photographers. I loved some of the Lake Constance pictures; the cute Casablanca claymation image of the goodbye scene with Humphrey Bogart & Ingrid Bergman; and the photos of Craig Shillington and toma.01. I've been having fun playing with my digital camera and have some photos from my trip to Illinois that I'd like to post on Flickr. Maybe I'll be successful soon...

7 1-2 habits

I enjoyed watching the 7 1/2 habits tutorial. I've learned over the years to accept problems as challenges--not obstacles to block my path to success. Sometimes it's difficult to look at them that way, kind of like turning lemons into lemonade, but I've found if you take the time to reflect, it's really true. The hardest thing for me to do is to remember to play. Sometimes I get very focused and tense and need someone to remind me to relax--breathe--play and have fun! That's a habit I'm still working on--so I'm going to test the water and trust this will work during this tutorial. I'm going to have some fun and play!

Wow! I did it.

Signing up for Learning 2.0 is a big giant step for me. Technology and I usually don't get along very well. Being able to create this blog without any help gives me great confidence. I'm looking forward to completing the rest of the tutorial.
