Had a question about uploading pictures that are the proper size.

Steps I am doing, is everyone else doing something different.

# 1. Photogaph, no particular setting.

#2.  Download from camera to my photo  program, Corel, Paint Shop Pro.

#3. Edit pictures to the quality and likeness that I want, can adjust colors, make things brighter or darker, size, crop...ect.

#4.  Go to eBay or Auctiva (I have used eBay on occassion) but,  prefer Auctiva, pictures are free, just pay for gallery picture.

#5. Load pictures in to my template at Auctiva using browser, and select these directly from my computer. 

All pictures are ready for uploading and don't need to be altered.  Program at Auctiva compensates for size.   

Is everyone else doing something similar to this....I have never used photobucket, and can always use Auctiva for a picture I want to move to the blogs here or any other blog I have.  Picture can be deleted from Auctiva if not needed for listings.

 

 

Nearly 3am and I have no business being awake!

I hate this...hate it when I am awake and should be sleeping.

All of my un done stuff is rattling in my head.

wash the truck

wash the car

clean them both out on the inside

wash the comfortors

clean family room

paperwork, this is always on my list

paint the deck

paint the bench out front.

It all rattles back and forth til I get it done...

oh yeah, clean out the pantry.....

Good morning from the mountains NORTH WEST ARKANSAS

Good morning, it has been rainy here, but right now that is a good thing, all of the flowers are growning...and I think we are going to have a great summer of growing. 

I woke up to a great surprise, my so called weed is blooming, I have a huge plant that has just taken off in one of the flower beds...and everyone says it is a weed, I think it is a varity of a holly hock.  It has yellow blooms starting up and down the stems.  This plant is 4 ft tall now...much like a holly hock would do.
