Enable Me: Ideas for Titles

You may remember that a couple of weeks ago, I posted a tutorial on how to make your titles stand out. Back then I promised to hook you up with some great resources to inspire you and help you find the right title. So, today’s the day. Many of us experience this at some point: you finished your page, it looks great, but you just don’t know what title to use. You don’t want to refer to the much over-used “something-something- Memories,” yet again, or any of the other oh-so-typical phrases that you see all over the galleries. But your brain is having a blockage. You just can’t think of any fun or interesting title, you’re stuck! But there’s a way out of your dilemma. There are lots of scrapbooking websites (traditional and digital) out there that offer lists of suggestions for titles. Many are sorted by occasion/topic/event etc. which makes finding a title four your page really easy. Just find the topic that matches the theme of your layout and check out their inspiration. …

Food Corner: Spicy Potato Slices with Soy Sauce

Another very common dish around here are the sliced spicy potatoes that are fried in soy sauce. For this dish you take uncooked potatoes, and cut them into thin slices, much thinner than fries. They are thrown into the wok and fried with oil and salt, and usually you add some green peppers and some of the hot red peppers, and of course the soy sauce. Though the name says spicy potato, it doesn’t really taste that hot. Unless, of course, you don’t pay attention to sort out the red peppers. Those are really spicy, though there are many Chinese who enjoy eating the red peppers, too!

Fixed it! And a Freebie

Good news! It seems like the bug got fixed, finally! I’m starting to know my way around my website again – yay for that! And a BIG thanks to my sister’s fiance who was the man of the hour! So, hopefully I’m going to be able to get back to the routine right away (am hoping to get some extra posting done this weekend, and if time allows, I’ll even have a new freebie for you, so keep watching for something new these coming days). To make your wait a little sweeter, I’ve got a little something from Cindy Schneider that I’d like to share. She’s offering one of her gorgeous templates as a freebie on facebook!

So sorry!

Can you tell that we were having trouble making the switch? I’m so sorry that mistyhilltops.com has been such a mess these last few days. Thanks to my sister and her fiance who spent countless hours trying to figure out what was wrong, we finally narrowed the possibilities down to one problem. It’s not completely solved, yet, but at least we know what has caused this mess, and we were able to get things back in place somewhat. We are trying hard to get mistyhilltops.com fully restored, and hopefully before long we’ll get back into our usual posting routine again. My apologies, and thanks for your patience!
