that Sunday that it was sunny & a thank you!


Wednesday, May 2, 2012

I think it's spring again? I'm not sure. Mother Nature over here in Virginia decided to be summer in March and winter in April so we'll see if May flowers really appear, but Sunday gave me some hope! It was beautiful outside. One thing I can not get over is how much greenery there is around these parts! The trees and shrubs are all so dense and it feels like nature is so close, even when I'm just lounging on our balcony. I love it!

This is totally off subject, but is anyone else peeved about picnic being gone? Way to go google destroying the easiest editing program there is. Google + is not up to par and you can't even create simple collages in their so called "creative kit." So after realizing that making collages myself in photoshop took for-EV-ER [yes, meant to be said like Squints from Sandlot], I rummaged through some forums of others who were as disgruntled as me and one led to me this website that is JUST like picnic. It's so freakin easy again to make a collage. Hooray! I just thought I'd pass it along in case there were others out there who thought their life ended with picnic. 

P. S!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR SHARING IN OUR EXCITEMENT! WE ARE SO THRILLED TO HAVE A MINI MISTER OAKDEN ON THE WAY. I wish I had time to write each of you individual to say thank you. Starting this blog, I didn't have the expectation that I would meet so many wonderful, kind, and loving people through documenting our life, but I am so grateful to "know" each of you. Thanks again!

  3. Yay! Thanks for sharing your website discovery. I switched to picmonkey, but they don't have college options. I still cant believe google killed picnik. That was such a bad move!

  13. I am definitely going to check out that site for photo collages. And if you're looking for other good picnik replacements, I really like this site:

    http://www.picmonkey.com

    It was apparently created by ex-picnik employees. No collages there yet, but they keep saying that those features are coming soon.

    The end.

    P.S. Sorry I am the worst mail recipient ever and never mailed out a children's book. And then I never told you that I didn't mail one out. Err... I am probably the worst responder ever. Sorry.

  14. I am SO upset picnic is gone! I could never figure out how to use it on google+ (maybe cause I have no idea how to work google+) but I've been using picmonkey.com as back up but they don't have collages either. You just saved me! Thanks for sharing!
