Welcome to Chit Chat Shoppe in Blog Blogging! Glad to have you visit with me during this time. WOW! Wednesday, 1st week of 2nd month in year is gone, and right now time has kind of been moving this way a little bit. How about with you? It has gotten cool again for us in our area of living, but so nice and sunny, and No Snow! I can handle that one, and so can the body too!:) 

Unfortunately, time still gets away from me a bit yet. I am working on schedules for me during the week so I can become more organized. I have not fulfilled my goal with it, but have honestly been working with it, and trying. Hopefully soon I get a feel for a schedule, and get a rythmn that works for me. 

Trying to keep this short for everyone, but wanted to stop by and say Hi. I wish you all well, hope it is being a good day to you, and Happy Hump Day Everyone! Take care, and see you again soon. Till the next time.....Toodles!:)

Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe everyone! Glad to see you, and have you dropping by:)

Time has just been flying lately, don't you think? I mean, here it is the 1st day of the 2nd month of the new year. Where has this past time gone already? Weather has been great here....just beautiful! Hardly any snow...if any. Just loving it! 

Pretty much have been a home body lately. When nice like today I am antsy to get out, and I finally did a little bit. But, only to go to the hardware store, talk with the landlords son, back to the hardware store, wash my car....and a big truck happen to be racing by when I got a big splash from him. 

Tonight I wanted to put up the new holder for the shower head on the shower wall. Got the old one off, got a container with some dawn soap, some vinegar, and some hot water, and let the shower head soak to clean. Got the screw out of the holder, and there I was stuck! Whoever, whatever, however....the back is like glued on! Even the flat head screw driver could not get it to come loose. Now what?! Well, in the morning they will be here to walk the house, and try to find where some of the drafts are coming from too. While here, I will ask the head contractor, or Landlords son if someone can help me out on getting it put back together. So, till then it sits again. Darn for wanting to fix something, and do it right, huh?:)

Well, I hope everyone has had a great week so far. Thanks again for visiting with Chit Chat Shoppe. Ya'll take care, and see you again soon.

Closing of Picnik and Petition Being Signed to Google

Closing of Picnik and Petition Being Signed to Google. 

Hello, and Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe! Glad to have you here. Make sure to say Hi so I can come by to visit with you also.

Have you heard the news? The one about Picnik Closing. How sad! I use them all the time to do some quick edits of pictures, maybe add some text on the pictures, a frame, and so on. They are free to use, have a paid premium, are so darn easy to use, no understanding of software, no reading to understand the software, and just go in, zip through, and you are done. Now...that is soon ending. Google had taken Picnik over in 2010? Seems like an eternity ago, not sure on definite time it happened, but things went pretty smooth after that transaction too. Now, this announcement along with you being referred to Google Plus to do your editing. When they say this I am assuming it is Picasa that they are having you use since their albums are with them. Can't do nearly there what you could with Picnik. So, for those you would like to see maybe keeping Picnik around a bit longer, here is the announcement that came to my email. Feel free to read it, and continue on with signing the petition if you wish as well. 

Wishing you all a super weekend! Thanks for visiting my Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe page with this main blog. Take care, and see you again soon. 








Official Announcement: Picnik is closing

Since joining Google in 2010, we have been creating editing magic in Google products while continuing to keep Picnik awesome. But now we get to focus on even awesomer things. Picnik will be closing on April 19, 2012.
Your photos liberated
Amazing photos are created in Picnik, so we have launched a new feature, Picnik Takeout, that easily downloads your photos to your desktop in convenient zip files. You may also elect to copy your photos to Google+ where you can store and share your creations. You may request your photos at any time and use this handy tool as many times as you like until our closing date of April 19, 2012. Learn more.
Premium Refunds
To our primo Picnik Premium members, we'll begin processing a full refund of your current membership fee within a week of this announcement. By "in full" we mean the whole darn thing. Yep, this means even if you are on your very last day of an annual membership, we will refund you the entire $24.95. Just because we want to say thanks.
Now the Good News - Free Premium for ALL!
To express our gratitude for your support over the past 5 years, Picnik Premium is free for everyone! Use Picnik in all of its premium glory, for free, from now until our actual closing day. Touch-up, Textures, Advanced, and more are all free for you to use!
We have been incredibly proud of building a product that is used and beloved by so many of you. We continue to be amazed and humbled by the photos you create and we are immensely grateful for all of your support, creativity, and passion.
We are excited by the photo-editing fun we have already brought to Google products, like Google+, where you can find many of your favorite Picnik effects in Creative Kit. We encourage you to visit Google+ and give it a whirl.

It's been awesome,
Team Picnik

Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe Blog Page

Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe Blog Page! Glad to have you here, and happy that you could stop by for a visit, and a virtual cup of coffee. It's cold here, and the coffee is good to keep us warm right now. Although it is evening here, and I will probably make some hot cocoa I found in the cupboard, and maybe a few mini marshmellows too. Hmm...and warm!

Here we go into the weekend, and we have gotten through our second week of the year too! Whew! Time just flies sometimes, don't it? Soon we all will be rushing to get our taxes done, and preparing for the change of the season too. Hopefully it comes a bit sooner this year than it did last year. Would be nice with the great winter weather we have been having so far here. 

Well, I wanted to stop by, say Hi, and share a cup of joe with ya'll. Thanks again for visiting with Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe. Stop by anytime, there is always a cup sitting to be drank. Make sure you say Hi too. Then, I can stop on by to visit with you also. When you can, make sure to visit my other pages I have created with my blog too. Thanks again, and see you again soon. Happy Weekend!

Good Morning Bloggers and Blogland and Chit Chatters

Good Morning Bloggers and Blogland, and fellow Chit Chatters! Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe page for LilacsNDreams. So happy to see you dropping by. Hope everyone had a super Christams, and a great Happy New Year! Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their new year, and it has been good this first week. WOW! First week of the new year 2012 has already come to us, gone by, and we are into another week. Time just flies don't it? LOL:)

I have been roaming my stores, moving inventory from one to another, busy with things around house with all the workers here, and some days having a hard time keeping up. This weekend was quiet, nice out, moved things down stairs to make room for workers, boxed some things for donations, and then delivered the donated items. I know as time goes along I will probably change my mind about some items to keep, and donate them. Just a wonderful circle of the Yes, and Nos..LOL:) 

Hope this finds everyone doing well, and having a great morning enjoying your Cup of Joe, or drink of choice. Well, it is late, and I have yet to get some sleep. But, I can honestly say Good Morning to ya'll. Have a beautiful day everyone, and thanks again for visiting and Chit Chatting with Me. See you again.
