It is yours! Please PM me your address, just in case I do not have it.

[hotwheels]

why is thread below up so big? Heard look for what up grabs? And hard to posted in it too! Thanks Linda

[lovinpaper]

Linda, I messed up with my photos as they are quite large. I thought I need to use the Advanced Reply and it made them large.

I still have one owl set available. Technique Tuesday Great Day Owl.

I’m wondering If lovinpaper can delete the photos of the items already gifted, and if that would fix the problem

I do not know how to delete them. They were all uploaded together. If you can tell me step by step, I will be happy to edit. The same thing is happening on the Misti challenge. I think many of us do not know how to upload in the chat threads. I can do the gallery photos fine. I took the photos the exact same way, but the chat threads upload differently.


Got it. I deleted all of the photos. All spoken for.

[hoptownracer1]

Thank you Lisa!
Here is how I resize my photos before uploading to Splitcoast. They taught me how to do that here, as I didn't know either.
Resize Using Paint
.Go to picture
.Right click
.Set cursor on Open With
.On drop down menu, click Paint
.Hightlight horizontal box (100)
.Change to percentage of that you want it to be (example 25, 15 etc.)
.Click OK
.Hit X in right corner to escape
.Click on SAVE

I hope that helps! I also use the paperclip option sometimes.

[lovinpaper]

Thank you, Chris. I didn't know I had Paint on my computer, so my husband helped me search. I never do a search, so I learned something new. I found the resize place in the menu and changed the size that way, but I can only open it in Paint. I think I need to save it in a different format so I can open it with my other photos.

[hotwheels]

Well this infomation might help later down road. Thanks Linda

[hotwheels]

This looks much better too!

Hi Lisa,
When I first posted photos on this forum I had problems with my images being huge as well, but once I started using the Advanced option with the paperclip, it posted just fine. No idea what changed.

[hoptownracer1]

All three PIFs went out in Monday's mail.
I'm not that tech savvy, so I love it when I learn something new too!

Hi Lisa,
Your PIF arrived today and I wanted to thank you again. So happy that your daughter will enjoy the Whimsy stamp set, as I will love using the ones that you sent to me. Isn't it wonderful to be able to share those goodies, that we don't use anymore, with another crafter who will get some use out of them? This was a happy mail day all the way!

Hi Arlene,
You don't know how happy you made me today when your PIF hit my mailbox. I am so thrilled with the Memento and SU spot ink pads. I always get ink everywhere when I stamp with my Misti, so the small ink pads are a blessing. Thank you also for the Carousel notes and the stamp sets. My granddaughter was here for several days, so I didn't have any time to stamp, but I'm getting my craft room back again this week and plan to play. Thank you again!!

Karen, so thankful that you will be able to use those stamp sets. I may not have mentioned in my note, but the Joy Clair was a winning for World Cardmaking Day from their blog in 2019, I think. I won it, but it has never seen ink. I am looking forward to creations that you will create. I had used the small stamp, but totally forgot I even owned it. It was sitting in an out-of-the-way place and I rarely look down at the bottom of the cabinet. So thrilled you can use it.

Hi Lisa,
I think we all have stamps that we won on a blog challenge or a giveaway, that might not be quite our style. That Whimsy stamp that I sent to you was one of them. I've started going through my stash and pulling those out, to put in my PIF basket . I know that Chris has even sent something on that she got as a PIF, so that it can bring even more joy to another crafter. None of my local friends stamp at all, so it's nice to be able to share back and forth on this forum. I'll be using that little Random Cardness stamp on envelopes right away, and am already thinking about designs for the Joy Clair one. Thanks so much again.

Have not received mine yet, but I am, for sure, looking forward to it. Thank you.

[hoptownracer1]

Hi Louise! Can you help me out? I looked on my PMs and the posts, and I cannot find what it was I was supposed to send to you. The last PM I found where I sent you something was the Tulle, and I got a PM saying you received it. I don't see anything else.
Is it possible that maybe it was one of the other posters? Just let me know. If I am supposed to send you something, I want to get it to you. If not, no worries, as I get things confused all the time. (((HUGS!)))

It wasn't from you. It was from Arlene - There She Goes - out of this world

Louise, this was mailed this week.

[hoptownracer1]

Oh good Louise! I have gotten so forgetful, I was afraid I had missed something.
I got Happy mail from Arlene and one from Lisa today! Arlene, I got the block and elephant stamp you sent, and Lisa, I got the Owl stamp set! Thank you both so much!!!

[kazeka]

Hi Chris,
Thank you so much for the PIF that arrived on Saturday. Not only did you send me the Easter papers and pokey tool (that term always makes me laugh...but that's what they always call it in the UK on blogs and videos) but I love the Easter and spring embellishments to go with it. Ill have fun making cards and decorations with my granddaughter's when spring comes around.
I had planned to list some items this week, but am slammed with a few health issues for myself and our dog, so will have to get to it next week.
Thanks to all the generous people on this thread who have offered up such nice PIF's and shared your unused goodies.
Karen

[hoptownracer1]

Oh no! I hope you are feeling better, and that your dog is alright! The weather played havoc with my head and ears this weekend, so I didn't get hardly anything done. Was wanting to play in my craft room after getting some cleaning done, but that didn't happen. But that gives me something to look forward to!
Feel better soon Karen, and take good care of yourself and your dog! (((HUGS!)))
Has anyone else had a chance to craft?

[Arlene_C]

Crafting has been on the back burner for me. Too many other things needing to be taken care of before winter comes. I am glad that I have cards made up for birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas otherwise I would be stressing out. Trying to figure out Medicare and what plans to select is stressful enough.
I have been doing a little cleaning in my craft supplies so I will have more to offer soon.

[Paper Junky]

I didn't get a chance to craft, but I did get a chance to go to a stamp store customers yard sale this weekend. That was exciting. Came home with roughly $800 worth of items for only $120. Also hoping that a bunch of stuff I brought in also sold so then I can have some store credit. Once I get back whatever didn't sell, I'll be posting some items on here.

[hoptownracer1]

I hear ya Arlene! I have been wanting to play in my craft room so badly, but I am behind on the house! I'm hoping it will motivate me to clean better! Glad you have some cards made up ahead of time. I need to build up my inventory of cards for birthdays and make some more holiday ones. I'm sorry to hear that you're having to deal with deciding on insurance/Medicare. I find that sort of thing stressful too. Hope things get caught up and you get to play soon!
Wow Brenda! You did do well! Glad you had fun at the yard sale. I don't get to many yard sales, but I did find my bulletin board (in picture from before) at a yard sale for $1.50. Couldn't beat that! We have a local animal rescue organization that has one at least once or twice a year. I always try to make it to those.
Lercy,I got some Happy Mail from you today! I am so looking forward to using the stamps you sent, and also the other gifts that you all have sent. Thanks for giving me some motivation to clean! I needed some motivation!

[smileyj]

Arlene- good luck on the Medicare Insurance. There are too many decisions.
Brenda- good finds.

[hoptownracer1]

Hi Joan, Good to see you!
