The Trifecta Day.......
And it's not even my birthday or Mother's Day yet. I had a massage this morning.....strolled over to the neighboring Starbucks for my favorite Chai Tea Latte.....then drove approximately 1/2 a mile to Beverly's Fabric & Craft store where I used my 40% off coupon (although I'm still trying to figure out how 40% off of a $20.00 pair of scissors comes to $42.00. Hmmmmmmmm. And it happens to me everytime.)
So in my calm and relaxed state of mind, I finally figured out how to do this:
My First Mosiac of Favorites
Originally uploaded by creative chaos
I'm so excited. I felt like I had to infiltrate the 4th secure level of the top secret Flickr vault to finally figure this out. Yes.....I know. Everyone and their 5 year old is doing it nowadays. However, I could not for the life of me see on the flickr site where you made the mosaic. At first, I thought it was only offered to the pro accounts. Once I became a "pro" I still couldn't find it. Eventually discovered it's on a totally separate website. Well, well, well......once I hit that site there sat a plethora of fun incredibly time wasting things for me to do. There is this magazine cover maker thingy.....omg.....I'm heading right back over there to make one. I can't wait. The boys are on their own tonight for dinner.......again. Talk to you later! Karin
Oh for the love of typeface.......this is my 4th attempt to get the font size to go to the normal size.....I've got a magazine cover to do and have no time for this nonsense.......
Don't feel too bad. I know where to make a mosaic, but I've never done it. You're one step ahead of me!

Well Karin, if you wanted to know- all you had to do was ask and we would have told where the secret mosaic maker website was- but it would have to come with a warning about how addictive it is- and the trouble is, when I see a really pretty one like yours- I want to go make more!

Yes, I'd say that WAS a good day! I just found the mosaic site this week too, but haven't used it yet so you're ahead of me!

Karin, Your day sounds like a list of all my favorite things ... well, except trying to figure out how to make new blog widgets or whatever they are called. You're my hero for figuring out the mosaic - and it's beautiful too!

You are so funny I can't for the life of me work on typepad let alone fliker. It's so confusing to me. Well I need to get that mag cover thingy let me know what it is. Denise

Hi
Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog tonight :)
Your mosaic looks really nice. Wow. I can't even get a picture on my side bar. I am IMPRESSED with your accomplishment. (insert Happy Dance) The only reason I have the mermaid swap pic on my sidebar is because I made typepad give me the exact code for that exact pic. They were nice enough to do that but NOT nice enough to tell me in plain English how to change the code. Ugh! Which I found out yesterday is merely Hug spelled funny.
Love your sense of humor :)

Happy Mother's Day to you! I feel your pain on the mosaic thingy and all other things related to blogging. Maybe I should get one of my students to do it...
