Bannack, MT - A Ghost Town
There is a ghost town near Polaris, here in Montana. It was once the territorial capitol of Montana - and a gold mining town. Now it's empty. It's always a fun place to go take pictures, and we had never been to take pictures during the winter, so we went over and got some great shots...

Happy New Years
Hey Everybody-
I posted my first round of free backgrounds at blogaroozer.com yesterday, so be sure to go check them out. I started with Valentine's Day, so make sure to pick one out before anyone else you know beats you to it! And if you could help drum up some traffic, by sending along an email to any fellow blogging friends you have out there, that would be great! It's a little early for Valentine's Day, but I wasn't sure how long it would take me to get them posted, and I figured most folks have picked out winter theme already.
I will probably do Spring backgrounds soon after that. It's a TON of fun to do, so even if I never make very much money at it, it's still worth it! But hey - I've already made 62 cents! :)
Oh - and if you should download one - and you notice any issues - please let me know! I'm still new at this!
On another note - we went to Bannack yesterday, which is a ghost town near here. Bas had never been to a ghost town, and it is always fun to take pictures there. My Mom got this shot of my Dad and Luna.

New Blog Background...
Hey Everybody-
just posted my newest custom blog background. For those of you who get our updates in email, check it out. It's probably not my best "style" ever, but I've figured out some of the issues with photo resolution, etc. www.katieandbas.blogspot.com
I'm still using Scrapblog for the backgrounds, but Bas gave me a copy of Adobe Illustrator for Christmas, so I should be making custom patterns and designs here soon (just need to revisit some "how-to's" with AI drawing tools!) Then I should be up and running with custom backgrounds for Blogaroozer within no time! WIll keep you posted...
Sure am having fun!

Cool Blogs
So in doing some research on different blogs out there (blog surfing, I call it) I stumbled across a couple really cool blogs that I wanted to share...
www.tipjunkie.com is an awesome website, that publishes a new tip from some other blog everyday. It's dedicated to women and mom's who blog and own their own businesses, and providing support through a grassroots type of network. It also has GREAT tips on everything you could imagine, and features great ideas on crafts, decorating and entertaining. Make sure to check out their holiday "Mom-preneur" shopathon - which features tons of Mom-run small business out there, many of which are featuring great promotions and giveaways!
Also in their "Chic Chick" network is www.thesecretisinthesauce.blogspot.com . Which is totally dedicated to raising awareness to great blogs of note out there. They choose women to feature because they have great blog posts or photographs, or are just notable people. Today's post was about a woman who has been fighting for the health of her son her whole life, and has just learned that she has cancer. If you read it - make sure to have Kleenex handy. And some of the woman's friends have decided to elicit a card sending campaign to help bring her spirits up - so send an email, get an address, and send her a card!
The third site I spent some time perusing was www.todayscreativeblog.blogspot.com - yet another site in their network. It features different creative - as in craftily creative - blogs everyday, and is a great source for ideas around the holidays, or just when you feel like getting some inspiration!
Their is a fourth site in their network called Skip to My Lou - but I haven't gotten a chance to explore it yet. I'm sure based on the quality of the first three that it is fab!
I'm considering advertising with them once I get my new website up and running in order to drum up some traffic before I start advertising myself. They are very affordable - and since they seek sponsors independently, instead of using a broker, all of the advertiser dollars go to them directly. How cool!
