Slightly Distracted...by Pictures

Oh My Goodness!  I am late getting Birthday Pillowcases in the mail and I have nobody to blame but myself.  I had an e-mail for a FREE Photo Book from Shutterfly in my INBOX and the temptation to use it was just too much for me.  I started a new file on my Computer in My Pictures and started collecting the best Photos of all my Quilts.  Some I had to scan from the Hard Copies.  I used my FLIP-PAL scanner that I won from Pat Sloan last year. It is Portable and easy to scan from the Creative Memories Albums where I have some of my earliest Quilt pictures.  Some of my Quilts don't live at my house so the old pictures have to be used and it is easier than waiting for someone to hold them up while I take a picture and then uploading, cropping and all that jazz.  One of my Facebook friends, Linda, reminded me, 

"I have found that it is easier to get out the books and show them instead of getting all the quilts out, showing them, and then having to refold for storage."  

  It took me way longer than I thought and I missed the Midnight deadline on that offer. But my Quilt photos are all in one place on my computer now.  I even had to ask my children for some pictures of their quilts.  Thankfully my Sister- by love made a book with my Mother-by love's Quilts recently and some of those pictures were fairly easy to locate and re-send.  DS #1, had 9 baby quilts and wasn't sure who made which one so he took pictures of the ones he thought were made by Grandma Zora Crowther. DS #2 said his quilts and Photo albums are in storage, it is TAX time so I might not get those in time for this book.  I reasoned with myself that "If I don't DO this, It won't ever get done!"  DD#1 came to my rescue with another FREE Link to make a Photo Book with "My Publisher".  Valid through April 30th and good only for NEW customers.  All I had to do was enter my e-mail- no new Passwords to remember.  The extra pages that I knew I would need, were less than on this site too.  BONUS!
 SO.....a day later and a few less (a lot less) hours of sleep time and I am well on the way to hitting that PUBLISH button. I'm still waiting on a couple pictures to be e-mailed to me to fill in and I'll be finished- for now. Since I have over that many more Projects/UFO's to finish in my lifetime.
While I wait for those last pictures I have these cute fabrics calling to me...One Year old's won't remember that Grandma was a day or two late, right?

I'm sure that my Daughters will know which one is for their Birthday boy... Today is the day to work on them!
Tri-City Quilt Show coming up so time is flying. I have more pictures to take...
