Corner View: Whatever Strikes My Fancy

Ninja supplied the theme this week.

Whatever strikes my fancy: Hmmmm.

I decided to exhibit some of my note cards.
I am always on the look-out for pretty, colorful, and different note cards.
I keep a basket full on a dresser in the dining room
and a folder full in a desk drawer at school.

I use them to jot a  note form of a letter
or
a short "thinking of you" encouragement.

They are one of my trademarks at school.


The O is the initial of my last name and I got through Thirty One,
which I sell.





At Half-price Book stores, I pick up tins of flowered note cards with info about them.

This is from "Queen of Hearts" --a blogger who sells her work on line.
She's the one from whom I bought the stones with words of encouragement on them.
 This one is from my dear blogger friend S. Etole.  This picture doesn't do it justice, but I included it anyway.
She sent two of her beautiful note cards to me along with an incredible copy of a photo that I loved.

I bought these at a country store in the Hocking Hill area of Ohio
on vacation two years ago.



This is from the artist foundation in a near-by town. 
I love the vibrant colors and abstract design.


Some of the note cards I have a hard time parting with.
But I do eventually.

    My Emily loves to give/send personal notes as well... I'll bet your students feel special when they receive something beautiful and personal instead of just a post-it note or something scribbled on a scrap of paper.

    I love receiving cards, but I'm not very good at writing them!

    That is a lovely trademark to have, and you have an excellent hand in picking cards.

    PS I'm really not sure what Top1 put in the cake - it tasted fantastic though. Stay tuned for the special surprise we're planning for Top3 this weekend!

    I love your collection Beth. I have a weakness for beautiful note cards too but haven't gotten any in a long time. And i too, have a hard time parting with some of them. I confess, that sometimes I keep one just for me!

    An MP4 file is a kind of computer video file. Due to the way they have been compressed, MP4 video files are apt to have large file sizes. When you have a great deal of videos and have to conserve space in your computer's hard disk, you are able to convert your MP4 file to the much smaller AVI extendable. The video and audio quality will stay the same, however the quality is going to be drastically paid down. To do this task, you should use a totally free program called Handbrake.

    class="steps">

    Open Handbrake.

    Click the "Source" button. This opens a brand new window on screen. Make use of this new window to specify which MP4 video file in your computer's hard disk you wish to convert to the AVI extendable.

    Specify wherever you would like your AVI file to be positioned on your computer's hard disk utilizing the "Destination" part of the Handbrake program window.

    Click the "Format" drop down menu in the "Output Settings" part of the primary Handbrake window. Select "AVI" out of this menu.

    Click on the green "Start" button towards the top of the primary Handbrake window. Handbrake will now convert your MP4 video file to the AVI extendable. Your AVI file is going to be created in the directory you specified in the "Destination" part of the Handbrake window.
