Hi Mary, The title of this thread caught me, so I wrote this little ditty: Once upon a summer's day When I was young and gay, I took my little sailboat out For a day of play. The breeze was light, the sun was warm, The water smooth and blue. I hoisted sail and off I went With a shout 'WOO-HOO'! A dolphin played along my bow And acted as my guide Until I reached the island And beached myself inside.... ....A little cove where parrots squawked And hermit crabs went skittering! Shells spoke to me in magic ways, Their ocean voices whispering. As the sun began to fade I brought my sailboat back; And that's how I went out to play Once upon a summer's day. quality_jewelry

Hello Everyone,
Mary asked me to come over and share some of my artwork.

I wrote a response to one of the post in my forum giving some tips on how to get your artwork to your post. I would like to include that here.

First some artwork, these are original oil paintings







I would like to invite you to show your work in my forum.

Tips for getting your work to your posts.

Getting your images stored where you can use them requires some equipment. I used both a digital camera and a scanner.

When setting up your pictures for the digital camera they need to be as straight as possible. Upload your pictures from the camera to your computer. I used a numbering systerm for my Images R001, R002, etc. Then I have a notebook where they are named.

Once you have your images on your computer you can use the software that came with your camera or your scanner to trim and size you pictures. Excess needs to be trimmed from the photographs. My artwork varies from 5x7 to 18x20 but my images on the computer are only stored in two sizes. I experimented untill I found a size I liked for portrat(vertical) and landscape (horizontal) layouts. 

You can resize and decrease pixals here.

I played with it a little as it has been a long time since I went on line to do this and I had to find you a site. I went to 40% and did not see a change in picture quality.

Now, your pictures are the size you want. They are stored on your computer.
I use my ArtisticRose.ws web site to store my images on line. You really need some web space. Upload your pictures. When you get them on line, right click on a picture. Click on Properties. Copy the location of the picture.

In your post click on the Insert image button. It looks like mountains and the sun. A grey box pops up. Paste the address of you picture. Make sure you do not get two http://   as it is already there. Click O.K.

Your image should appear in your post.

This did not work for me in the setup for the forum.  I had to delete my original post and add a new thread after the forum was listed. The software in the forum setup seem to need to catch up to the rest of the new stuff.

This is great, being able to show my work. I hope this helps the rest of you.

Hi Mary,

  What fun this is. I just thought you might like to see some of the trees I make. They are for all year round.          

                                

This is a Fourth of July Tree, A Halloween Tree, An Easter Tree, and A St. Patrick's Day Tree.

If you have read books by Beverly Lewis she shares stories of the Pennsylvania Dutch, The Old OrderAmish.  In each book she refers to serving  guests in their home or buying "Sticky Buns" when they go to town.  Wouldn't you like to share in the warm, finger likin version of cinnamon buns.  http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/thread/361700.aspx click on breads and visit the other recipe pages.  Leave messages on the Adlandpro cookbook page and post recipes on the appropriate recipe pages. Enjoy the  famous Dutch Sticky Buns.
