The Blogerette Sorority

Wow folks, I've got to tell you that I've really had a time getting this picture into this post! I'm just as thrilled as can be at becoming a member of the "Blogerette Sorority". This has been rush week and I've been gone for the majority of it. Anyway as a condition of our "Rush" we were required to take the picture from "Some days are Diamonds blog" which is above this post and add our own picture to it. I didn't have time to do a whole lot so I used some Mary Engelbreit background and then put the Sorority picture and a picture of myself next to it. I'm no expert at messing with pictures and such that's for sure. I've also had the Sorority button on the right side of my blog for awhile now. So far this has been a really fun thing and I do believe it will bring a lot people closer here on the blogesfere. If you so feel inclined, please join us in the Sorority. There isn't any time limit to becoming a member.

Lovely to meet you, Barbara..I'm delighted to have you as a sister in my first ever sorority! Thanks
for stopping by my place and introducing yourself.

I think your photo turned out beautifully! One can't go wrong with ME, after all, and it's a great shot of you. I do get frustrated myself trying to upload photos. I'm afraid I'm still old school. LOL

I signed up as a follower and I'll come back and visit soon...

Mollye said...

Hi new sister! I am so happy to meet you and hope we become true sister friends in our sorority journey. I apologize up front that this message is a "cut and paste" message to all the sorority sisters because I wanted at least to become a follower of all of you and take a moment to say hello. For those who may not know my youngest son was killed last week and we buried him on Tuesday. I had started my project before that tragic event and am not finished but I did post what I've done on it so far. If you have visited me already I thank you and if not I invite you. I am just not quite at the point of being able to think of something to say individually at this time. I will soon hopefully be able to be active and visiting everyone. Love you already, Mollye

Hi Barbara,
I love your creation. I know.. this trying to figure all this blogging and computering is sometimes wild and crazy! At least we learn a few things a long the way. The best part though is meeting new friends.
So nice to meet you and let's stay in touch.
Have a great Sunday evening.

Very nice to meet you. I have not "rushed" yet. Feel technologically not ready.

I also have been telling myself for years that I will crochet. I have started to teach myself over and over. Maybe you will inspire me again.

Love the gourds from an earlier post.
