I believe 28 makes this the halfway mark of summer! Yesterday I spent the day at school. Thanks to Stephanie for all her hard work! Moving along at a much quicker clip because she is so generous with her time. Ron came in and the three of us shifted the computer tables. The theme is coming together nicely. All those letters I've been cutting out have come together as have the few modes of transportation I've completed. I'll work on getting some of the other pictures on blog tomorrow. I've been rewriting the parts of my book ms, so nothing terribly new has popped off my fingertips except for making some of the problems much stronger.

When you enter a library, what do you see (sense, hear, feel) that makes you feel welcome? If you don't feel particularly welcomed at your library, what would you like to see that would make a difference?

Barb Kibler linked to this on FB:   Uses of something similar in the library are rolling around in my head!

I've been using the paperpunch theme for a while now. OK, I've been using the same theme for more than a few days, and I've been working on my courses and haven't dug around much with it. Well, A Sundry Times pops up on my reader and Gary's talking about what he's done with his theme and I'm thinking that he uses paperpunch too, so I run over to take a look. Sure enough he does, and he's added a picture to the background. Looks very spiffy . So he claims satisfaction and I'm sitting here thinking, "Well, what do I have to use as a background?" We've been to the outer banks to see the lighthouses at least 100 times, so that seemed a good choice. A little cropping to make the lighthouse actually be OUT to the side and not under the print and there you have it. I'm not quite keen on my color match to the left, but I'm also thinking a little blurring on the left side of the picture might do the trick too . . .
