Ahh Tam....I am really going to enjoy your blog...however, I can't leave a comment over there. I tried using my regular screen name and password, but it won't accept it and says I can't post anonymously!! I'll try again on Monday to see if it will let me in!!
Have a good weekend!

Tam, good luck with the blog..hope it brings you lots of satisfaction and happiness!
Is it expensive to get the copyright?? I have noticed a few people on other forums have it on their pics..how do you go about it. Son and dil are attnys, but not in patent law.

jaybird...I am sorry ...I fixed the comment access.

Kathleen...This is info right from the US copyright offices website:
"How to Secure a Copyright
Copyright Secured Automatically upon Creation
The way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright. (See following note.) There are, however, certain definite advantages to registration. See "Copyright Registration."

Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is "created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time. "Copies" are material objects from which a work can be read or visually perceived either directly or with the aid of a machine or device, such as books, manuscripts, sheet music, film, videotape, or microfilm. "Phonorecords" are material objects embodying fixations of sounds (excluding, by statutory definition, motion picture soundtracks), such as cassette tapes, CDs, or LPs. Thus, for example, a song (the "work") can be fixed in sheet music ("copies") or in phonograph disks ("phonorecords"), or both. If a work is prepared over a period of time, the part of the work that is fixed on a particular date constitutes the created work as of that date."

Tam, Love your blog, everything looks wonderful, I did leave you a comment on your blog too, and I added you to my blog list on my "links". I will have to "think" on your hot air ballon...I would take out the "people", in my mind I would try to fill the little area where the "people" were with something practical to make it not only pretty but useful. I'll get back with you.

Thank you, Tam! I have read your blog and Judith's. Haven't figured out the comment thing..but they are both lovely!

Tam- How did you glue your bunny back SO.....beautifully? What type of glue did you use? Any of your repair hints will be greatly appreciated! He turned out just like new!

Tam - Thanks for the link to your blog. I remember trying to get to it when I was viewing your album one time and was disappointed that I couldn't. It is a wonderful blog with great pictures and interesting topics. I know I will visit there often. Not sure what to do with your balloon - maybe a plant/greenery in where the people are? I'm not very good at re-purposing things. You sure did a good job on fixing your bunny - it probably has even more meaning to you now that it had to go through surgery.

Judith, I can't remember if I ever commented about your blog but since I'm on the topic, I was so happy when you said you had started one. With your talents in the set-ups of vignettes and picture taking, it is a "given" that you should have a blog. I have enjoyed all your posts and pictures on it. I also keep going back to that Tea Party link to get inspired there as well!

Congratulations on your blog! It's lovely!
Added to my own blogroll.

Your blog is looking great Tam. Now we know why you weren't on here very much--you were working on figuring out all the technical stuff for the blog! ;o)

You really did an amazing job repairing that bunny. I too would like to know the brand of glue you used on it.

I will look forward to checking in there once in awhile to see all your pretty accessories. You make some really pretty vignettes and table scapes.
