My Heart Is In My Throat.

I just had a huge scare.

I thought I had accidentally deleted my entire blog!

Over the past 2 weeks or so, I created a new e-mail. Totaling my e-mail accounts to three. My first e-mail (which has acquired TONS of spam), my business e-mail (An e-mail for putting on applications, basically), and now this one.Well, I've been tired of checking more than one e-mail for a long time now and decided, you know what? I want to keep my life simple and just have the one new e-mail.

Changing over everything was going pretty well, until today.

You see, my blog was created with my other e-mail, which is a yahoo account, so I basically created a g-mail account with my yahoo e-mail. Confusing? Yeah. I didn't know what I was doing at the time :P

So I used my new g-mail account to become the new admin. for my blog and I removed my original account. I added all the blogs I followed with my other account to this one. I also have the same picture and name now, so it won't be so confusing for you guys.

But, when I went to log into BlogSpot with my new account after deleting my other one, it said my blog had been REMOVED!

I was on the verge of tears.

So I typed in my blog address to see if it was still there.

AND IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still trembling. I don't know why it said that before, because now I can log into it just fine.

On the other hand, there seems to be a defect from me deleting my other account. None of my post pictures seem to be showing up or my new blog header for that matter. I'm wondering if it's doing that because they were uploaded from another account? I just have no idea, but I'll try to figure it out. I may just have to upload them again. *sigh*

This is much more work than I planned for.

Also, does anyone know if Google Friend Connect is on it's way out? I thought I saw something about that when I created my new account and followed everyone again. It wouldn't let me upload a picture for my profile....so I thought maybe something wonky is going on with it? It hasn't been having that picture/name as a commenting option anymore, which is why I haven't been commenting on anything lately!

Anyway, some of you should have a new follower: Mary (Aliceoutofwonderland) or just Mary, with no picture yet. I'm guessing my other Google friend connect account was deleted along with my other account.

Please bear with me while I figure this out. I'm doing everything I can think of to get everything sorted!

At least my blog is still here. *phew*

*hugs and kisses*

P.S. TRESKIE! Thanks for recommending picmonkey!!!!!!! I love it :) It is SO much simpler than Pixlr. I'm gonna go nuts with it! *evil laugh* :D

Easter

Wow. I have been away from here for quite awhile. Life has swept me away lately!

I have TONS of pictures that I have taken over the past few weeks. One event happened after another and I'm feeling overwhelmed with how many pictures I have now. So instead of one big post, I will try to break all the pics up into little posts by the end of this month.

For now I'll cover Easter :)

Happy Easter! Me and Robert after Easter Sunday Mass. I grabbed him for some pictures before he high-tailed it inside to change :P This guy does not like to get dressed up!

I like being color coordinated :)

I wish we owned the woods next to our house! I could do so many awesome photo shoots inside them.

                                                               

Yes, we still do Easter Baskets :) You are never too old to get one! Psst...did you notice the Robin Hood BCC?! *Squeals!*

Robert's Basket. This year I just added things that we had bought recently in our baskets. Although, I did surprise him with the gummies :)

Hard boiled eggs that my Niece and Nephew decorated :) SEE THE FAIRIES? I'm sure I don't need to tell you which one I ate ;)

Bunny M&M's! Extra delicious after a long Lent!

 

Starburst Jelly Beans. I decorated the bowls that both candy are in with yarn and double-sided tape to mimic "nests".

Pre-digging in selfie :) Yummers! The blue peeps are my favorite. I think they taste better, too ;)

Well, that is all for now!

I hope you all had blessed Easters :)

Jesus is Risen! My God's not dead, he's surely ALIVE!

There is something about ThredUP....

Well, hallo :)

This is a post I've been meaning to do for several weeks and I'm just now getting around to it. But it kind of worked out because now I have more pictures to share with you!

I've noticed that several other bloggers have recently discovered ThredUP, a website that is sort of like an online thrift store. I'm mainly a thrift shopper when it comes to clothes, and finding this site was a huge highlight of this year. You don't even have to leave the house to shop! I'll just start with saying that it is really super cool and amazingly awesome.

I discovered ThredUP on Pinterest (Thanks to AmandaBeth for posting the link btw!) and I've been hooked ever since. The best part is that when you are new to ThredUp and you click on a link that somebody has posted or emailed, you automatically get $10 to spend and so does the person that posted the link, no strings attached. You can literally buy $10 worth of clothing and not have to pay anything except shipping OR if you've added shipping into the $10 limit, then nothing at all! 

You can also share your own link, which ThredUp will give you once you have your own account. There is also the option of sharing via email or facebook, and whenever someone clicks on your link, you'll get money to spend!

How awesome is that?!

Here is my ThredUP haul:

My ThredUP Haul! So far....:D

Pretty Polka Dot Packaging.

The hoodie and the two shirts next to it are by Abbey Dawn, one of my favorite brands that is no longer in stores. I just typed  the brand in the search bar and it gave me all the results for that specific brand!  The sleeveless jean shirt used to have sleeves, but I'd been longing for one of those cute jean vests lately so off they came! Getting one for free beats paying $50 in-store!

The red dress and black dress I actually got for free because they both had small tears that they didn't notice when they were inspected the first time. So I was refunded for both! Since sewing is another one of my hobbies, this wasn't a problem for me. Both are easily fixable. I was actually pretty pumped about the defects! :D If this isn't something that floats your boat, ThredUp does have a return policy if you aren't pleased with your item. I haven't had to use it, but I haven't heard any complaints about their return service as of yet.

 

I love their tags!

Here is the hole in the black dress.....

.....and one of the holes on the red dress. It's no wonder they didn't notice them on this one, they are very hard to see.

 Now, you are probably thinking: So what happens when I run out of people to share the link with? Is that the end of free credit? Nope! There is another way to earn credit to either spend or cash out on ThredUP. They have something called clean-out bags, which they send to you for free so that you can send nearly new clothing to them in the brands they accept. Pricing varies depending on the condition and brand of the item you send. All the info on what they accept is on their website so check it out if you are interested! Also, they cover the shipping as well, so this doesn't cost you anything!

My first clean-out bag! I haven't shipped it out yet, but I managed to fill it to the brim :)

Guidelines to follow. They'll send you this card in your clean out bag envelope.

On the other side....Note: the brands the state here are not the ONLY brands they accept. Again, check out their website for more details.

More instructions.

All ready to get shipped out! I'm pretty proud of this bag. I kept saying to Robert: "Just look at it!" :D

Well, that has been my experience so far! I'm thrilled with this site and I'm sure you will be too. Let me know if you love ThredUP! I love seeing other people's hauls :)

Here is $10 for both of us to spend! Have fun shopping!

Pure Happiness

HI!

I'm extremely happy at the moment, so I wanted to do a quick post!

I FINALLY HAVE A DECENT BLOG HEADER! *squeals with happiness*

You have no idea how happy this makes me. That thing has been bugging me for awhile, but I hadn't given myself the time to research all the different options out there. Thanks to The Wonder Forest, I was able to design my own header :) *dances around* SEE HOW HAPPY I AM?!

"I am most content" - Evangeline, Nanny Mcfee.

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

Thanks for putting up with my off-center header for waaaaay too long, people!

Pixlr is an awesome site. I'm addicted.

Now I am not very tech-savvy, and if you aren't either, here is a wonderfully helpful Pixlr tutorial on Youtube:

It's fun once you get the hang of it! And probably another time waster......oh well ;)

I feel so accomplished. I can't stop looking at it....it's...so...beautiful. *happy sigh* (Robert is looking at me weird, lol)

 Well, I'm going to float away on my cloud of happiness now. Goodnight, friends!
