Halloween Eve

just popping in real quick to say Happy Halloween Eve!

a few years ago, we decided on this alternative to pumpkin carving for a few reasons.  one…the “guts” of the pumpkins make both me and the Boy gag big time.  two…this way, we can enjoy our pumpkins well into November and even sometimes up until Thanksgiving.  three…its just plain easier!  four…i think they are pretty darn cute!

you can see this link here for the specifics and printables on our pumpkins.

and…i’m finally finishing up the last touches on the Halloween costumes.  here’s one:

 any guesses?  i’ll give you the full rundown after tomorrow’s festivities!

and, just to update you….this blog transfer has been more of a headache than i anticipated….but i’m almost there.  if you are an RSS subscribers, your readers should be working now…which means you shouldn’t have to re-subscribe to my posts!  but will you pray for the final detail for me (which is a big one!  Pinterest has disabled all the things from my blogger blog that my readers have pinned in the past before this switch because they automatically redirect to my new site, and apparently that tags them as unsafe.  i’m anxiously waiting for them to get back to me and hopefully fix it, because so many of you wonderful peeps have come my way from their site!  it would really affect my blog if it isn’t fixed, but its totally out of my control…which is honestly really hard for me) so once that is taken care of, i feel like i’ll officially be done with this transfer, and things can get back to normal!  thanks for being patient!  after Halloween, i’ve got a whole series i’m planning…Photography 101 for Mommas, from a Momma…i’m excited about it!

for now, Jake and I are off to make some pumpkin whoopie pies with 22 Kindergardeners…this should be FUN!

Happy Halloween!

ps:  if you are experiencing  slow loading time for my site today, it is due to an all around problem that my hosting company is having…not my specific site.  they are working on it, and it should not be this way for long.

New & Improved (round 2)

(for those of you who have already seen this post or received this email, i’m testing it again for my google reader subscribers.  i’m hoping your feed in whatever reader you are using will update with this new post.  if it does not show up in your reader, i might be out of ideas, so please update your readers and subscribe to my new address:  www.asmallsnippet.com.  

i also changed a setting for my email subscribers so that the emails from me should not list the 10 most recent posts like the last one, but only the most recent post.  thanks for hanging in there with me while i work out these final kinks so i can get back to regular posting!  lots of fun things coming soon!)

its finally time!!

i’ve been wanting to make some changes around here for a while, but a deep lack of knowledge, and utter confusion over html, css, and the blogging world in general have prevented me from doing so until now!  but…i’ve had some great people helping me…actually, more than helping me (more on that later), and my new and improved blog is now up and running.  there are lots of new things to check out, so take a look around!  let me know if you notice any kinks or problems for me to work out.

and be on the lookout for some exciting sponsorship opportunities coming soon, that might interest and benefit some of you!

if you’re reading this post through your email because you are an email subscriber, click through to take you to the new site and check out all the new things.

my new blog address is:
www.asmallsnippet.com

if all goes the way its planned, everything should transfer over nicely to the new site.  so if you have things pinned on pinterest, bookmarked, etc, it should redirect you automatically.  if that doesn’t happen, let me know, and then hang in there with me as i figure it all out :)  but i’m praying it all works the way its supposed to!

if you are an email subscriber, you should just automatically receive your emails from my new site, so you shouldn’t have to re-subscribe.  if you are a google reader subscriber (or other RSS subscriber) i honestly don’t know what will happen!  so it just might be good anyway to update your readers and blog lists with my new address:  www.asmallsnippet.com.  i’d hate to lose anyone!!

also…if you’ve commented on my blogger blog in the last week or two, there is a good chance that i did not get it.  so if you did, feel free to re-comment on the new site.

and thanks for sticking in there with me!  i’ve been swamped with all the changes going on around here.  i never knew how much behind the scenes stuff went into all this website stuff!   but it feels good to get to finally reveal it all to you!
