Saturday Revamp: Fayette MI Dock

Lately I have been editing like crazy again. Which puts me in a better mood.  I am back at Instagram, also doing edits.   So, with another pic I took over the summer, I am going to play with my own meme, Saturday Revamp.

This pic is of the docks at the ghost town of Fayette, Michigan.

I edited the picture with my favorite editor, Picmonkey.  I did so much to it, I can't remember all the details.  But, I did add a lot of the Halloween functions.  Most of my ghost town edits are of a scary nature...It is a ghost town.  ;)

Blogger, Pissing Me Off Again!

Blogger has changed my html. It looks totally different. I don't know where the section is to change my background or my margin for my header.   All the words have color coordination.  Just when I start to think I know what I am doing...BAM!!  They probably did this to force me to pay someone to do it.  Just like car manufactures.  They make it harder to change your oil now, so we are forced to go to the dealer or a mechanic!  Blogger...Jerks!!!!   Crap!

Saturday Revamp: Old Hotel

 Found the editing bug I lost when school started.  I took this pic during our June trip through the Upper Peninsula.  It is an old hotel in the ghost town of Fayette, Michigan.

Here is my edit: I did it all with Picmonkey. I knew they had added some Halloween stuff but didn't check them all out.  I was geeked when I saw they had ghostly people to play with...Awesome!

Finally Getting Crafty

Been a while since I have been on here. Haven't been in the crafty mood for a while now. I even lost the editing bug especially on Instagram. BUT!! Yesterday I got a little crafty. Our tree in our backyard drops big and beautiful leaves. I Mod Podge both side and glued them to string. Even my husband thought it looked good. Like I say, sometimes I create crap but sometimes I amaze myself. 
 

On a different note, I am thinking of changing my blog name. Like I said , I haven't been in the paper crafting mood in a while now.  There is also more to me than just scraping and stamping.  Just not sure what to name it.  Of course, does it matter...I have to start seriously blogging first.

Having Fun With Polyvore

First,  I need a blog intervention!!  I need to be dragged back in!! 

 Having some fun on Polyvore. I actually signed up about 4 years ago but I couldn't figure out how to use it. They must have changed cuz it seems way too easy now. I am having fun putting outfits together (probably never buy) and I also put my Dream Lanai together. Probably will never be in construction
