So it’s Friday and time for a few facts. Today we’re going to mix in a little Liberate Your Art and Portraits into the mix. This may turn into a long post, but I’m really going to try and keep the words to a limit.
1. Today is the first day of Fall (I know it’s not supposed to be capitalized) my favorite time of the year!
The leaves are beginning to change colors – a true sign of fall.Another true sign of fall is winter squash perfect for making soups to keep you cozy on chilly nights.
2. I’m disappointed that I missed the closing of the 2nd Annual Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap. While I received all of my cards I missed posting last weekend or the Annual Blog Hop. So, in honor of the blog hop here are my cards:
A lovely field of flowers from Jen Erbebeautiful bold art for bold souls by tangerinepamDeb C. liberated this piece of art urging us all to ’embrace amiguity’.For the first attempt at abstract art I think Colleen was successful.Mary Gordon’s gull was so serene – just love it.This lovely bouquet comes from our host Kat Sloma
3. Today I had a portrait photography session – pretty cool to play around in a studio setting.
Natalie takes on the persona of the movie star.Natalie poses as a librarian.
Charles was a very willing and photogenic model.
4. The interest in Help-Portrait Cleveland is growing, yippee!
5. The festival season is coming to a close, meaning I will hopefully have more free time! Yay, yay, yay!!!!
That’s it for today/night. I hope you all have a great weekend, and thank you to all who have stopped by and left messages or “liked” the posts!
Happy Saturday! I hope you’re all having a wonderful day. It is a beautiful day here in Cleveland. The weather is perfect for late summer/early fall and it’s a busy time in our town. Now on to business.
I wrote this post on Friday and was oh so excited because I just knew I would have my first official post created on my IPad – NOT! It was such a disaster, but I’ll tell you more about that in a few. First let’s talk about the Facts! As you read these, remember they were written on the IPad first!
1. I am publishing this post using my IPad, yippee!
A shot of this post on the IPad…well that is the original post.
2. I am (originally) posting from Houston
This was the view I was greeted with as I entered my hotel room in Clear Lake, TX – Beautiful isn’t it.
4. I’m no longer a hater of all things Space thanks to Space Center Houston and a couple of cool Astronauts – Michael Fossum and Ron Garan.

5. I’m really loving my Kelly Moore Bag, what a lifesaver it was for this trip.
My wonderful new Kelly Moore Camera Bag, which holds so much more. What a lifesaver…I love it.
So back to the challenges with bringing you this post. I have downloaded the WordPress App and found that it is not very user friendly. As I wrote the post I was unable to add the photos and place them exactly where I wanted them. Then there was the problem with adding the header. Each time I added it, I was then unable to add text, oh and before that I couldn’t access the header and even attempting to download it again to my IPad didn’t work.
I vowed I wouldn’t let the device win, but I am sad to say I was defeated for now. I really want to make sure I’m posting regularly and I was so excited about posting from the IPad but when it didn’t work I needed to share the challenges.
If any of you have experienced similar issues and have suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
