Be Funky ~ Photo Editing

noreply@blogger.com (Cheryl~ZanyMayd) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 04:46:00 +0000

If any of you know me,

I love the word Funky,

it goes well with Zany....

when I came across

BE FUNKY

Photo Editing,

I just had to try it....

I think it will give Picnik a run for it's money~

BeFunky.Com

there's a Free version

(photo below)

also

a Premium

Professional version too

truth be told, I did not see a
Collage app,
but I did contact them to suggest adding
this feature.

It sure would be great for
all the Defunct
Picnik users....
also a good advertising cue
for them to draw new users

from
Defunct to BeFunky....

I think I Like it...

Try it out & see what You think

with Stripes...

That Zebra art on my wall

was a Christmas gift from

my son, Ian & Daughter Nikki...

the first time I saw it at

IKEA,

I was hooked

thrilled to see it Christmas morning

I use an Old photo of myself

at 2 as my hang tag,

I am sitting on a zebra, so

zebra's are special for me

The antique white tea pot

was my Gramma's & the

Old flower pot which was my

Great Grandmother's is

married with an iron base that belonged to my Mom....

I've been working all day, moving and

rearranging, lots more to show you,

but that will wait for Next week~

So Far, So Goode

So Far in the middle of

January,

here in Michigan,

I have only had to shovel snow

once!

(and that was only 2")

Big change from last year,

when we had 32" of the stuff

on the Ground,

Believe Me,

I'm Not Complaining....

I'm getting to the age,

when I think

going South for the Winter,

would be,

My Cup of Tea~

I pulled out some of the

Old Snow photos

that I have from

My Grandma

Eagle Harbor, Michigan

1930's

My Great Grand Parents

Calumet, Michigan

1934

My Mom (center)

and her brothers

Have a Blog

wondering?

noreply@blogger.com (Cheryl~ZanyMayd) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 04:09:00 +0000

I was just wondering,

what does Blogging mean to You?

I know we all have lives outside of the

Blogging world...

Family, Friends, Work & Commitments

But,

have you ever sat

and thought about the changes in your life,

since you started blogging?

I heard the song,

"You've got a Friend in Me"

from

"Toy Story"

tonight,

it made me start thinking about

Everything

that has changed since I

discovered this

Blogging world

all the Kind, Clever & Creative

Souls

I have learned about,

Feeling like we know

each other,

but Most

who we will Never Meet!

I have had such

Kindness shown to me

here in

Blog Land

My Heart is so

Grateful

Does it sound odd

to you that I say

I am

Grateful for Blogging?

Blogging for Me is a Lifeline,

I Thank You

Hope you always feel

Welcome

here

My Little

ZanyMayd

World

Somethings coming...

noreply@blogger.com (Cheryl~ZanyMayd) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:08:00 +0000

It may look like a

Mess now,

but I am making something

sweet....

I think to celebrate

being back online,

Give~Away

is the perfect thing to do...

Stay tuned,

I should be finished in a

day or two....

I'm Lovin....

noreply@blogger.com (Cheryl~ZanyMayd) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:21:00 +0000

being back online...

Thanks to my sweet

son in law,

I have

Internet at My House!

I have kept busy

working with clay

Now I can visit all the friends

& blogs I have missed

so much!

gumption

noun

Definition: 1. good common sense and practical judgment; 2. the courage and determination to take action

Synonyms: sense, wisdom, sagacity, determination, initiative, fortitude, courage

Antonyms: stupidity, cowardice

Tips: To say that someone has gumption means that the person demonstrates self-motivation and initiative to succeed. Someone with gumption has the ability and sound judgment to decide what is best in a particular situation and to do it with determination. Gumption also denotes courage and the will to stand up and do what is right.

I think my little Super Hero

Says it all

Gumption is going to be

My Word

for

2012

I think I watched

"The Holiday"

so many times this holiday season

that Kate Winslet's character

said it all....

What's Your Word or

Resolution?

Happy 2012 to You

Happy New Year

I finished the heads I made last week,

I am almost out of Paper Clay, so going
thru a bit of sculpting withdrawl ~
I think I may try making the recipe for
paper clay I have seen online

Paper Clay, but at $8 for 8 oz. it is
a bit expensive

These newest dolls will be listed tonight
