Thought I’d pass this along.  A friend of mine John C. is a computer teacher in Mexico and he and some friends put together this video to help teach the young children how to use the computer mouse.

Be sure to check out his blog and leave him some love…this video is GREAT!!!

Okay guys...I'm loving this one it is TOTALLY out of my comfort zone ( I didn't use a quick click HAHA) But I'm really loving how this is turning out. On Saturday Elizabeth Weaver, shared with us GA Croppers a kit that she's yet to release and I just FELL IN LOVE with it. Especially how beautifully the bkgrnds worked together while playing with the blending modes. The Kit is called Runaway Dream look for it soon in the DSP Store!!!

I also used Lauren Bavin's Custom Chipboard Alpha Simple, and Irene's Rhinestone Doodles. I am on such a ROLL!!!

Blessed with Rain

Posted by Liz McCoy View Comments

We've been abundantly blessed so far with all this rain from the hurricanes & tropical storms.  You may or may not know that Georgia has been in a drought for the last 8-10 years.  The last 2 years have been pretty serious!!!  Lots of water conservation and not watering lawns washing cars etc.  We've been blessed to have been receiving a bunch of rain the last 3 days from all the storms in the gulf and carribbean. 
One of our main resources for drinking water is Lake Lanier & the Chattahoochee they have been very very low as of late.

Perilously low water levels in Lake Lanier Reservoir north of Atlanta is threatening the metro area's water supply.

Chattahoochie in Helen, GA (This is the river we just went tubing on a few weeks ago)

This is most likely on the "long run" that the tubing company offers.  We've only done that once in the 10 years we've been going to helen to tube.  b/c the water is soo low you have to walk your tube most of the way.

So I wanted to let you know that Lake Lanier has already gone up a 1/2 a foot as of yesterday from all the rain.  And here are pictures of the Chattahoochee river in Helen:

Here was the about state of the river when we were going down:  You will see from the slide show that the water is really high and no rocks are showing.  Also you'll see a bridge and the water is almost to the bottom of the bridge.  We go under that bridge!!! WOWZERS!!!
