Thanks Carole!
When you try to upload do you recieve and error message or do you see just html code. If code, then your upload worked and your picture will be displayed after you post.
For some reason I have had problems with uploading pics of my paintings....anyone have any advice?
Carole
OMG That is so beautiful! I love photos of nature, particularly the close up ones like this!
I'm in - I'll send an e-mail to Erin now.
Truly lovely!
I'll be first for December. Plan on donating print to raffle.

I love this! Is the idea to do just one secret or one a day or one a week? At this time of year in our neighborhood, we have done this several times. One year we got little stockings at the dollar store and put a couple of candy canes in them and ...
Good One! Will have to give this some serious thought - a real challenge.

Five pennies
Last night my husband and I walked our dog Jack (actually, he usually walks us, but I'm working on that...) around the park for a total of 3 miles! I made a firm commitment to myself that I am going to walk every day to lose weight, get in shape and consistently train Jack.
So today, I got up early, threw on comfortable clothes and took Jack for our daily walk around the park. We live in an old, established neighborhood where my parents were among the first residents some 55 years ago. Walking… Continue

Days 2 & 3, Round 2: Unemployed 29Gifters, Homeless Cats, Island Calendars, and Loads of Candy
My gifts for yesterday and today (so far):
1. I'm continuing to read through as many 29Gift member profiles as I can and inviting those who are unemployed to a new group on 29 Gifts called Seeking Employment.
My hope is that recruiters, job seekers, and anyone wanting to help others find employment, join this group and work together to improve America's unemployment rate. We can also help each other with resumes, cover lette… Continue

Day 1, Round 2: Today is all about 29 on October 29th on 29 Gifts
After completing and blogging my first round of giving with 29 Gifts, I became a volunteer and have put more effort into welcoming and encouraging other members than into my second round of giving. I still gave often, but stopped blogging my experiences.
I read a blog today where the new member decided to start the challenge today, since it's October 29th, hoping for good karma. So I'm doing the same and restarting my second round of giving and blogging for 29 days today.

A great give and receive kind of day
Today's winner of the Calligraphy set I donated for a 29Gifts raffle is Becky Erickson! Congrats, Becky! You are my big give for today.
A most wonderful give was sent to me remotely today from fellow 29Gifter and Reiki Master Franny. She had read my profile and saw that I was in need of chronic pain relief. Franny generously used her skills as a conduit to send healing my way. While I didn't receive instant pain relief (Franny said that can come over a couple of days), I definitely felt a warmi… Continue

A Gift for Cami
While reading a Glamour magazine at the eye doctor today, I noticed a contest for Woman of the Year. Naturally, I thought of our founder and new author, Cami Walker. Cami, my gift to you today was to nominate you for this very deserving title.
TODAY is the deadline for nominations, but if you hurry, you might get a chance to nominate Cami and/or another incredible woman you know before the day is over.

Good luck, Cami!… Continue

Good give Loudara. Enjoy her while she is here!! My mom has been gone 13 years and I miss her every day. Great give for your mother to her grandson!! Quite a feat at that age.
My mom is almost 90 and partially blind, but she is queen of her kitchen. Her only grandchild turns 18 tomorrow, and she is making chicken and dumplings for him. So I accompanied her to the grocery and assisted her as she shopped. I have a headach...
I just found this website... how wonderful, and what a splendid idea... and such a wonderful affirmation to realize we all are gifts to each other as well.
Have you seen the Operation Beautiful website? I'm having a blast putting up Post-It Notes in all the public restrooms I use. Heh.
When doing your Christmas Cards this year, take one card and send it to this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful, special people who have sacrificed so much, would get.

Congrats on the new baby! Donating to those who need it is always a wonderful gift. Kudos for calling your father's mother. Most of the time, just knowing someone cares is the best comfort for greiving. Happy Friday to you!
