WELCOME TO JUNE 2012 PHOTO FUN


Through this group I've made some wonderful friends and enjoy meeting new friends in our group each and every month. If you are joining for the first time this month, you're in for a treat - what a FABULOUS group of caring/sharing women. Welcome everyone!

Lots of us have cameras we use now and again for a snapshot or two. Some of us have new cameras itching to be put to use and get more familiar with. Sound like FUN?! It IS!!!! Get your camera out and USE it. Just take pictures, share pictures, and stretch your camera use beyond where it is today. We all love photos -and photos are the heart and soul of our scrapbooks. Let's take GREAT photos - Experiment. Try different lighting, try "on location" shoots -even if that means taking an orange outside and taking it's photo on the lawn.

RULES:

1- Take 15 photo's throughout the month. These can be of what ever you choose. You may post them at any time (just try not to post all at once). Please link them to your gallery for easy access for comments.

2 - NO STRESS - if you aren't having fun it's not worth doing

3 - Comments - We all LOVE comments on our photos so please make an effort to visit/comment as possible, but ---
SEE RULE 1 - NO STRESS. If you don't have time to comment on photos (or can only comment on some) that's FINE!

4 - MISSING PHOTOS - SO WHAT? See rule 1 - NO STRESS. Life gets in the way - it happens to all of us. Post your photos when you can - See RULE 1 - NO STRESS

Just join in and SHARE!!!

How to add a clickable image to your post.
1. Pull up the image you wish to share.
2. To the left of your screen about at the bottom of your image you will see "LINK/EMBED IMAGE". It's just below the Facebook, Twitter, & Pin it buttons. Click the link.
3. When the box comes up mark the IMG Code. Left click on the copy & paste code box..it will turn blue. Right click on it to paste.
4. Next, go to the thread where you want to post your image. Click in the text space and paste your code.

************************* ************************* *************

We will be having an end of month photo contest each month. You may submit 1 photo YOU have personally taken. PM me with it by the date requested to be entered in our POLL. Oh, make sure you have the "Allow Public Embedding" checked so I may post it in the poll. We will have one winner per month unless there is a tie. If you are the monthly winner PM me your address. I will be looting my personal scrapbook stash to share with you to help keep my cost down. You might find an extra surprise in there too! Just so it's fair to all our players...please make sure if you submit a photo for the contest you have completed all 15 photo's for the month and YOU have personally taken them during the current month. The mini challenge photo's are not required, simply for fun. You can however, submit one of your challenge photo's (mini's) to the contest.
*End of Month photo contest entry deadline: June 28th by 6pm EST (I will post poll the evening of the 28th)

Hi Everyone! I'm here again and I'm gonna try to keep up this month. Awesome minis Lori!

I think I would like to play in June, it has been way too long. I've been lurking around a bit the last few days and i miss playing with you ladies, so at least for June...I'm back!

Glad to see you Janice! It has been too long!

Darci...glad to see you too!

And of course, glad to see everyone else also!

im in again

Hey Lori - I thought of you this evening.... watched the hockey game with my boys. I know - I'm Canadian - I should always watch hockey (I find it boring if I don't have anyone to watch it with, and DH doesn't really watch). But today we were at a pep rally in town for the LA Kings (Dustin Penner is a local guy), and then the kids were super excited to watch. It was a good game, although I will admit - I fell asleep during overtime! LOL Woke up to Cody cheering!

Hi Janice...Welcome back!

Thanks Lori! This babysittig gig I've acquired is killin' me!!

Good Night Everyone!

I`m in!

Hi Janice and Darci, welcome back!

I will try to come up with something besides photos of my cats this month!

Hi Stephanie!

Krista....We watched a little of the 1st period and part of the 3rd & OT. As always Uriah and I are usually rooting for different teams. He's for the Kings....the little stinker! I don't follow either team in the regular season but it really surprised me to see the Kings in the finals. No matter which team wins, an American C will be hoisting the cup this time and I think that's pretty cool. Jonathan Quick is a darn good goalie (per Uriah, he knows all about the game you know). I think the Kings have an edge with him.

I am going to try to do better this month. Losing Pearl put me in a funk. Slowly working through it.

We don't usually watch hockey at all, but with a local guy playing for the Kings - kind of have to watch. I agree with U - Quick is a very good goalie - does his job well.
