Any Links for blog design?

       Hi everybody... I've been really wanting to redesign my blog, and well... I can't find any designs that I really like!
I have a few things that I would really like...

• either very light pastel colors- or B&W.
• polka dots- no stripes- no flowers- and if anything else, a design similiar to seen here.
• and sidebar dividers that would match the overall plan.

So if you have any FREE blog design links or blogs, please leave them in a comment or email me them at any4404(at)gmail(dot)com.
I would appreciate it...
   PS: Judy C., or Kookster, could you please leave a comment with your email address? I won't publish it--- I promise ! I need to get a hold of you to ask a question!

Giveaway update...

I'm sorry to y'all who did enter... Got bad news for ya!
Blogger system was down for a little while, at one point you couldn't get in your account or anything, and to fix the problem they were having to delete everyones post if anything was posted since Wednesday. They restored the posts- (it was like a 12-16 hr problem!!!)
But guess what they did NOT restore? You guessed it--- the comments. They are even erased from my recent comments board. So I'm going to have to do it all over again!
I'll start it all over- but this time it is going to have a little bit of a different twist. Im not sure what its going to be yet- but itll have a twist! (leave it to me!)
Well, everyone have a good night and a great Sunday! God bless! Maybe I'll put the giveaway info up tomorrow!!

    POSSIBLE GIVEAWAY: I would love to post a giveaway on this blog. I have a couple of ideas how I might do them, a few neat ideas, but I need to know how many people regularly look at my blog. So Can you leave a comment, and we'll see! If I have over five, I will do one!
Well, on Easter, at my Grandmas, I got to do an impromptu photo shoot with my cousin Kels. These are some of the resuslts. I had some really neat B&W and Sepia ones but they dont show up on the uploading because they were edited on Picasa. So.. I have to post those directly from Picasa.

These two sibilings are hilaroius. If you knew her brother, TJ, you would totally expect this to be in his thoughts. This was an accidental pic, he had moved in the way, but when I uploaded it, I thought, I could do something fun with this one!!!

These last two were taken about two weeks ago, I know the overall lighting is bad, but I liked them because of the people in them and their expressions. (Olivia absolutely refused to join them!)

On Vacation!

On Vacation to an ATI conference it Texas! Will not be posting till next week! Would love to post more but It's Sunday and Easter! So I have to go get ready!!!

The Fall of Journalism, Part 1

Journalism is in a very sad state right now. More than sad, kind of scary.
Two definitions I will use in this post:
{ Journalist: a person reporting past or present facts with no opinion of your own, just the facts, for the media, whether it be for TV of the paper.
{ Columnist: a person who writes their view, opinions, and suggestions in a magazine or website.

We can compare these journalists and columnists to News Shows. FOX for example: (they are the only ones in the news who in the “reporting facts time” they are not right-or-left leaning.)
Shepard Smith, FOX news reporter, recounts facts. When he tells everyone that Obama signed the stimulus bill he doesn’t give his opinion of whether it’s right or wrong. He just says Obama signed it. That’s it.
However, people such as Glenn Beck and Bill O’Rielly, they are talk show hosts. They talk about whether Obama should’ve or shouldn’t of singed it. (Obama signing is just an example!)
Journalists and columnists are similar. Journalists report facts, like Smith. Columnists give ideas and opinions, like Beck and O’Rielly.

***

Now that we have that clear, let’s go on. My point is that we have too many columnists sitting at the desks of journalists. Now, let me get this clear: It’s ok to give your opinion- but not when you’re a journalist. Some people are more naturally opinionated than others. Those are the people that should be columnists.
Now when a journalist reports a man who didn’t know how to swim trying to save a drowning ten year old- and he ended up dying- he doesn’t write: "Now, folks, wasn’t that dumb of that man to do that? He should’ve gotten help from somebody who knew how to swim.” No, of course not. No way!
The goal of the journalist should be to alert people to what’s going on, but never in a partial way. You see, if it’s not partial, it will allow people to decide for themselves what to think or do about the present situation. The journalist of today is attempting to guide people’s thinking. And you can never trust a journalist who does that: Why?

1) If they are trying to “guide” you’re thinking (just like what they’re trying to do with what you eat [but that’s another post]) why can’t they “guide” what’s published? Why then can they publish this, but not that? Why do they go crazy, criticizing Chris Christy for his awesome work in lowering the deficit, creating more jobs, etc. , but you never hear a word of the incredible 12% raise our governor gave his staff? Why do they condemn Scott Walker but praise Dick Durbin? Because they are trying to guide your thinking in a way that’s not good.

2) If they can guide, or try to guide, our thinking, why can’t the government guide their thinking, and force them to publish only what they deem necessary- (which will end up being a future post on socialism)?
Journalism is well down an already downward slide toward being obsolete.

Small post of Pics at the beach

I Will be posting more, I promise!!!! Just a short post you can enjoy, Judy!!!!

Some Winter Pictures

Snow is so beautiful!!! Just not fun to do photography with. The snow comes out dingy.
We are supposed to be getting 10-12 inches tonight and tomorrow, and a good chance of getting a lot of ice. I'm fine with the snow, but the ice part.............

"Change?" Lots of it. In the wrong way.

I wish our House, Senate, Congress would keep their change!!!! Yes, THANK YOU!!!! We appreciate what you are doing to our country!!!

New Blog for you to check out!!!

Our Trip to Silver Dollar City

Alright, finally some SDC pics... belated SDC pics!!! IF you want to read the post in order, start from the bottom and go up.. (Christmas pics coming soon!!)

Night parade

huge cup this guy had!!!

Janae and Julia

Mom and Dad

Alyssa!!!

Judah and Janae were mad at each other, they sat on opposite sides, and would not even look at each other! I have a picture of them to prove it!!! ( The reason Judah was looking away is the same reason as Olivia and Lydia had their backs turned earlier. ;D But I do not know why the are sitting so far away from each other!!!!)

The Barn Swing! Iwasn't brave enough to go on the first day, but I did go the second day, and loved it! I went three times in a row, would have gone more, but my stomach was feeling a little queasy!!! The night view is awesome at Christmas time on this ride!!!

Walking into SDC the first day- Olivia and Lydia backs turned, Judah running away... from what???

Yes, I like to take pictures of the backof cars! You can make any picture a neat one!

The Howells van...

The icicles on the rocks...

The Ozarks are awesome! Amazing! Beautiful!!! That is like where my dream home would be...
