Problem solved

I don't know how it happened - or if it had always been that way, and it was just a fluke that scrapblog worked at all - but I discovered that my Active-X addin utility needed to be updated and turned on! Now that is done, and I'm sailing along on scrapblog again! I have now saved all of my albums as jpegs so I won't "lose" them again!

Problems at scrapblog

I am sad to report that I am having issues with scrapblog.com today - I can't get photos etc to load - scrapblog help said to upgrade Adobe Flash - I did that but it hasn't resolved the issue. Since Mike's computer is having the same problem, I'm hoping it's a site issue, soon to be resolved by them! In the meantime, you cannot access my scrapblog albums. Sorry!
SOLVED THE ISSUE!

I found a new site called Scrapblog

I saw an ad in PaperCrafts magazine for a site called Scrapblog.com - I had to go check it out, and discovered a wonderful tool for creating on-line scrapbooks! I have created an 8-page book today which documents the six lighthouses which Mike and poki climbed during our vacation in May 2008. (If you know poki very well, you will realize that with her fear of heights climbing any lighthouse is an accomplishment!)
You can see my scrapbook by click on the Scrapblog link on the right sidebar under Vacation 2008. I hope you enjoy it! You have already seen the photos on this blog, but the backgrounds are cool! Check it out
Check out the site - http://www.scrapblog.com/ - sign up, login, and start creating cool scrapbooks of your own. Be sure to share them with me when you do!

Americas 3


This sailboat was the first boat entered into the Americas Cup that was not designed and built by traditional boat builders, but by aeronautics engineers in Salt Lake City. the 75 foot Jayhawk was built for the 1992 Americas Cup - and won! It came home to Wichita Kansas in March 1992 and is dry docked at Waterfront Park in Wichita, in front of the Hyatt Regency!

Wright Brothers plane


This is the actual plane that the Wright brothers flew into aviation history in December 1903 on a sanddune in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Mike and I climbed the hill!

The National Museum of the American Indian


This Smithsonian building has no square corners - Indian superstition states the EVIL lurks in corners!


US Botanical Gardens


This was an interesting collage globe - the color comes from seed packets! There were quite a few artistic globes in the display outside the US Botanical Gardens, across the street from the US Capitol. The gardens are a Smithsonian museum!
