Well here I am moved over to Word Press!Thank you so much to Kristi Linauer from Addicted2decorating for helping me with my move.
Some things are different than I am used to but I know I will adjust.I just need to play around with things for a bit. Still learning how to enlarge my photos and add links too!
I was asked why I made this move.There are several reasons.But the biggest one for me is that last spring I went to my blog page and it was hijacked by a spammer.This was devastating! At the time I wanted to make a change but it was not the time.
This is something that I wanted to do.And felt that I needed to do.
I want to thank all of you for following along!
All of these photos were taken last summer.Some roses from my garden in my ironstone pitcher.
Anne @ DesignDreamsbyAnne says
Pretty roses! I’m so glad your switch went well. If you have a moment, pop over and let me know what you think of my blog makeover.

admin says
Oh I am so glad to hear that!There are some things that are very much the same.And some things I need to get comfortable with.One thing I need to figure out is how to follow all the blogs I had on my blog roll.

I did as you did for the same reasons. Then I realized or my hubby realized with all that trouble the best thing is to purchase your own domain. I have done that and it is sooo…. much better. Its the way to go. We are just about up and running but, still working out the kinks. So worth it.

Anne says
Oh yes the kinks LOL! Trying to figure some things out and I know I will.I remember when I first went of google a year ago I knew nothing about computers,posting photos etc.I did have some help from my niece in the beginning.But many things I figured out on my own.

First thank you for stopping by! I have had so much fun reading through your blog! Oh how scary to switch…Good for you! I cannot imagine having my blog hijacked! I had someone recently working on my blog and besides the pass word they now ask for your phone number which is something new! They should have have even more security than that! Hope you love your move!
Carol
Anne says
Thank you Carol! Yes it was scary to switch.But if I was going to move now would be the time!
Have a great weekend!
