Okay, so my friend is looking for participants for an "on-line parade of homes"...sounds fun, right? She asked to have her blog posted on as many blogs as possible to get as many participants as possible. So here is the whole idea below. Feel free to join the fun!
Well, I don't know if that was a lot of people interested or not, but let's go ahead with it! I have set up an account http://picasaweb.google.com/home Go to the site and sign in with this email: parade.blog@gmail.com and this password: onlineparade (You have to be signed out of your own account first). Then you just upload your photos into an "album" (on the right hand side of the page, it says, "upload"). A box opens, you need to click "create new album". Then name the album. Put in your name (Just first, or just last, or both, or first initial and last, whatever). It might be fun to put the place you are, too (ex: Herriman, Utah). Then click continue. Upload your photos.How about photos of: Front of house, Living Room, Kitchen, Kids room, Master Bedroom, Other. Really, put whatever you want to show off (basement, backyard, hair salon...). You can then name them and put descriptions or whatever you want (on the tab "edit captions").Have your photos loaded by Saturday, August 30th (is this enough time for us to clean the house????). Then on Sunday, everyone can go view the photos! You can vote for your favorite (I'll set that up later).Please post this on your blog so we can get as many people to participate as possible!

Anybody interested?
So, anybody heard of the Parade of Homes? We have it here in SLC, and people buy tickets to go around and see homes that builders have built and see all the new styles, the modern trends, the decorating styles, etc. It is lots of fun (but takes time and money). I propose we have an online 2008 BLOG Parade of Homes! If you are interested in being a part of this, leave a comment. I think what we'll do is set a date (in a week or so) and anyone who wants, post*** (see note below) a Parade of your home by this date. Let's have photos of: front of house, back yard, living room, kitchen, master bedroom, kids room, other. Show your unique home, it's features, what you love about it, your decorating skills (mine are so lacking here...), and anything else you want. This can give us all ideas for our homes, and give us a peek into everybody's homes and living spaces (is that too creepy?). Tell all your blogging buddies about it, too. Then we will all visit each other! We could even have a "vote" (Utah parade of Homes does this, and each home gets voted on and there is a winner, or a few winners in different categories... ) should we do this? I could even send out prizes to the winners... Give me feedback and ideas, folks!***We can make a picasa web album: you log on with an email and password that I will set up (see back later for that info). Then create a new album, call it your name (or first initial and last name or something), and then maybe where you are located (Utah, or Lehi, Utah, not necessarily too specific if you dont' want). Then go back and visit all the "homes" (photo albums), by whatever date, you vote your favorite, etc. What do you think? I will set it up this way (or unless someone has a better idea) if there are enough people interested in doing it.

I loved seeing pictures of your beautiful home! We've come a long way since the days when we propped our beds up with cinderblocks, haven't we?
We have...I wasn't even cool enough to HAVE cinder blocks! I think I was the only one in #308 with a short bed :)
that's so sad you lost your cat & what a scary story below of your baby and the penny!!!! SCARY!!Our transition phase is: We had to just move into a condo temporarily while we look for a home. We moved out suddenly because we were renting from a friend and that friend passed away so his wife & kids are moving in it.. Sad story.
