I Learnt a New Trick...

And I think I'm going to drive you all barmy now that I have discovered how to do a photo collage.

With all this rain there really isn't much to photograph in the garden. There are one or two developments that I am very excited about (almost as excited as I am about being able to make collages out of photos now), and when I get a moment of writing inspiration I will sit down and tell the Massive Chicken Mission story.

It is still wet and soggy (and raining, although I can't hardly bear to think of the word) outside this morning, so the boys and I are kind of stuck indoors. When they've really messed up the house to their satisfaction though, we'll go for a splash in our new grass bottom pool.

So for the moment, I'm just going to have to play with photos I've already got. And I'm going to collage the britches out of this blog.

Ahhh, I'm impressed...love the photo collage. Is it something you can do with blogger or is it another program? Cheers, Judith

This is a very disappointing blog...the collage is lovely but I want you to tell how you do it!!! I love the little boys on their IKEA chairs! I hope the rain stops soon...I am worried you will get foot rot. You will have to change your name to Mildew.

Ooo yes, and then we can have a collage craze sweep the blogging nation!

It's really very easy, just a tool on photobucket, and I'm sure all the other photo hosting sites have this tool too. You click on tools and then collage, then you fiddle away to your heart's content. Next time I'll do a white background in between my photos, that would have looked a lot better.

Bring on your collages ladies!

I forgot to say that I first saw a collage on what is fast becoming one of my favourite blogs, Our Wee Farm: http://ourweefarm.blogspot.com/

And Hazel, the rain is driving me NUTS.

A fine achievement Ali; I'm going to have to up my game now... So many things for us bloggers to learn!

It's a huge learning curve, isn't it Mark? If anyone had told me before that I'd have a slight idea (very slight I might add!) of how to write html code I would have thought they were way off base.

Mark I'd so love a snow collage from you... perhaps not on a white background though!
