Getting ready for the BIG weekend.


I was actually trying to post this yesterday but my computer would not cooperate. The other day we saw ducks on the lawn. That's right wild ducks. I live right in town so I don't see ducks too often. I grabbed my camera and went outside. Lavinia was so excited but minutes before decided she needed to shed all her clothes so she had to watch from the window. Do you see them? I know. Believe me, that's the best shot I got. When I checked later I couldn't figure out what happened with the camera. I put it aside until Friday. Then I started to fiddle with the setting so that I could get a good shot. It had to work because this weekend is Virtual Scrapbook weekend on Splitcoast Stampers. Every 2 hours a new challenge is posted. We have to complete the challenge in 2 hrs and post it in the gallery before the deadline. Challenges run noon to midnight Atlantic Standard Time. Because most of my layouts are 12x12 and my scanner scans 81/2 x 11, pics are the way to go. I tried every setting and could not even come close to fixing the problem. I then called Tasha for her camera expertise. What a lifesaver. There was a smudge on the lens. I would never have thought of that. I thought Lavinia, who sometimes gets her hands on the camera changed the settings. Note to self: take better care of that camera. Now it's just after midnight and we are halfway through our weekend. I will share my favorite layouts in my next post.
