Over the years, photobooks complete with comments and photos have been made for all of HOD's core programs. We have had SO MANY positive comments about these at book fairs! Families really felt it helped them be able to picture HOD in their own homes, as well as get a snapshot of different HOD guides. Thanks to all who have helped through the years! I have also tried to share the photobooks online at a Shutterfly share site, but Shutterfly made many of their previous templates (those I used in some photobooks) obsolete. I have been working with Shutterfly to convert them online, but it is a lengthy process. I can still order a printed copy of the original photobooks; they just have to be converted to be seen on the share site.It is now time to begin putting together an MTMM photobook. Two things are needed: pictures and positive comments.
Could you please email me pics of your dc doing your favorite HOD things from MTMM? (projects, activities, whatever you think captures the joy of HOD). I'd like to have MTMM well represented with pictures and positive comments, so send as many pics as your heart leads you to. Children's names are NOT included with pictures. You don't need to have comments for each picture, though you can label them (if it's easy to do) with a short phrase. I want to stress this is NOT necessary though - just the pictures are fine too. Please include this information with your comments: your first name, city, and state, and 3 or more sentences telling why you love HOD. You can send several different sets of comments to be included if you would like.
Please email the pictures and comments to both Mike and me (so I am doubly sure to receive them, as my computer email has been known to be picky
):rjgrosz@icloud.com
carmikeaustin@msn.com
If you already have a blog with MTMM pics on it, you can just email me your blog link and I can try to take them right off there.
If you are unsure how to email photos, and would rather share photos in an HOD post but are wondering how to upload them, just do the following:
1. Go to http://www.photobucket.com
2. Sign up for a free account.
3. Upload pics from your computer.
4. Check the boxes next to the pics you want to use.
5. At the bottom of the screen, click on "generate HTML and IMG codes"
6. Then copy the 4th. box labeled "IMG Images for Message Board"
7. Finally, paste them into your HOD post.
Then, I can take them directly from your post.
I am working on this as time allows and hope to have it all put together by 2015's book fair season. I'll probably repost this reminder a few times for this reason! Thanks in advance, ladies!
In Christ,
Julie
One thing I have learned for sure... it is important to backup everything - even when I think I don't have the time. If you still have the pictures and are able to resend them, I would love to use them.
