we made the cover….Porch magazine

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

Hard as I try I can not seem to do all that I wish to make what I want to happen on this #$%@*** computer of mine!

We are so honored to have been chosen for the cover of Porch Magazine,  now available from Count Your Blessing. I had the pleasure of being asked to join Polly’s group of sellers on line but am a dismal failure for her.I don’t know how to get it all where it needs to go or in the correct format.She even provided a BUTTON…to show you how to order,  to download, or attach or scan or  ….(mind you I am using all my computer language here) but my attempt at getting her button did not work for me, so go to her website and take a peek, you will be glad you did, it is lovely.BUT just this morning, I did learn somehow to capture a photo that was taken in our booth in Hico, I call it , CABBAGES & ROSES…. so I am using it instead , will look for BUTTON..later, sorry Polly and thank-you again for sticking by me.Go to Polly’s site and order the magazine, it is lovely, a lot of people you know and love are on the pages.

I do have just one other giant triumph to report, I posted a note about our upcoming Summer Soiree  on July 10Th , here in Burton.  I knew I had to come up with a postcard to send a.s.a.p ,as the time would fast be approaching… My dear friend Gloria said she used a program on line, so I goggled “invitations” and after 2 hrs….. imagine this.. I DID IT.! Back and front… colors, choose fonts ALL by myself.. now I know for most of you this must seem simply absurd , for me it is a BIG DEAL…. I am so full of myself at this very moment.. Miss Theresa Cano, the champ of all blogging issues , happened to call,  I was so glad as I had wished to tempt her into joining us for the Summer Soiree..guess what,  she has agreed!  Camile and Scottie also are joining us and one more waiting to be confirmed.. stay in touch ,you won’t want to miss out..  it should be a grand time for all… anyway I simply could not wait to shout out about my improved  computer skills today..  now the next trick will be to master cut and paste, and grabbing those buttons….I love little tiny successes it makes me smile all day….. sometimes it dosen’t take much does it?

Love Linda

The Flying Bee - Hi Linda,

It was such a pleasure meeting you today! Your space was gorgeous! I just love all of the sweet treasures that I took home with me! I have already found a home for my book. I also just looked at the listing of your place and I am in LOVE with it! I begged my hubby to buy it! I would pick up and move there in a second! :)

I hope to see you in July for your soiree!

Hugs,
Adrienne

FrenchGardenHouse - Congratulations! On Porch, but mostly on learning more and more about the wonders of the computer! It took me months to get it all right, but it finally fell together, so I know it will for you, too. xo Lidy

Charlene - Linda,

I know how you feel about this computer stuff!!!!!! I too think it is all such a challenge. I just won’t sit down & take the time to take classes which in the long run would probably be faster than my frustrated sessions TRYING to make things work.

My husband & I had such a wonderful time when we came with Diane Cook & her hubby to look at your property in Burton. I LOVED it. He wants a little more land because we have to build a barn to put our deck boat & soon to own… RV in. Your shop is divine! I could play in there all day!!!!! I so wish I could make it to your summer soire! I have already paid to attend Paper Cowgirls Art Retreat or I would come out with Diane. I know it will be a huge success. Hope to see you again soon. And when we find that perfect spot… hope we’ll be almost neighbors & maybe we can play & create together.

Cathy Guess - I am laughing as I read your blog about grabbing other blogger’s buttons……I am STILL trying to figure it out! I know it is a simple task, and I will get it sooner or later! Congrats on the magazine cover and I will look it up! Have a wonderful week! Cathy aks “Girls Gone Junkin”

Valarie @ the Red Shed - Was the Button White? Surely if it was White, you could figure it out!! Almost everything you make has white “buttons” on it. Just teasing you…Congrats and if you got your postcards ordered this early you are WAY ahead of the game! (I love that 3 day shipping).
Lots of Love,
Valarie

Polly - Hi Linda. You’re so sweet! I love every moment that we get to chat whether it’s online or in person because you are just so darling. I so wish that Steve and I could come to your Soiree but we won’t be in TX until end of Sept. However, we managed to find a place right in Brenham so maybe we can get together for iced tea sometime. =) Hope you are having a sweet Monday. Blessings… Polly

You always looked great in the magazines. Love you so, Dorris
