Congratulations Raymonda! Way to go!!! I've been thinking about some of that soap, my skin is getting so dry with all this cold weather.

CONGRATS!!!!!

Congratulations, Raymonda!

I hope you don't ten copies of this. I have had a bit of trouble posting today. I am sure it is just me. Not a problem with the site.

I want to thank you all for your kindness. I received the soaps and they are truly wonderful.
I am going to take a long bath instead of a short shower.
Is there a web site that has the soaps listed and the lotion?

Because of your site I have new friends. What a wonderful thing.

while I am here, can anyone tell me how to make a photo smaller so it will work on here? I wanted to post a photo of our place, animals or us.

Thanks again and God Bless.

here is a little toturial I put together on how to post pictures:

okay but, it still says I can only add an avitar of 8 kb. Any other suggestions on how to shrink the photo?

oh you want an avatar.

Thank you I got it down to needing to be smaller than 90x90. sigh, I need to learn so much.

Have a great day all
Raymonda

do you know what photobucket is?

you can use an avatar remotely using www.photobucket.com

First go into photobucket and upload the picture of your choosing. Edit it and make it avatar size (option 1 that is 100x75 pix). Then open up your profile and way at the bottom you will see two options for copying links for your avatar. Choose the last one (not the one that says it will be copied to this site). Click submit and you are good to go.

Note: if you do not edit the size of the picture on photobucket the picture on here will be the large size. If this happends and you do not edit the picture to be an avatar size I will go into your profile and delete the picture because it messes with the ability to read the posts. So please resize your pictures before you add them as your avatar.

thank you so much.

most certainly are welcome

my daughter loaded a few photos of our goats on photo bucket and sent this link. One day I will get the time to learn to do this.
