Photo Canvas from #inkdoodle

My regular followers are going to roll their eyes at me but…. I CAN’T HELP IT!!! So, what am I talking about? I made it my goal for 2016 to get one photo of all three of my Grandkids smiling at the camera, at THE same time. And I DID it!! I took a photograph of the 3 kids that came out amazing!!! All three kids were smiling. REAL genuine smiles!! All looking at the camera at the same time!! ALL three!! I was giddy. I AM giddy!! Of course, I HAD to have this picture on canvas so I could enjoy it every single day. (Yes, every time I see it a song does play in my head…”I did it… I did it… I did it!!”)

My new canvas came from Inkdoodl And I am thoroughly pleased!! My canvas is perfect. The canvas looks like a photograph, crisp and detailed.  Three smiling faces!! (have I mentioned how giddy I am over this shot??)

The Inkdoodle site is super easy to use. The canvas size selection is amazing! You can decide if you want your canvas on a wood stretcher frame or without. Inkdoodle will even retouch your photograph or even convert to black & white or sephia. You can also decide how you want your edges to be finished.

I chose the photo wrap option. The sides are different than any other canvas I own. Instead of a continuation of the photograph the sides are actually parts of the photograph. It’s very unique and interesting too!!

WHINES

Not a single one! This is a beautiful canvas and I am completely impressed with the quality and the workmanship! And ya know… I DID it!!

Updating my blog’s SEO has officially entered the same category as cleaning behind the refrigerator. Necessary. Noble. Slightly horrifying. 🧹✨

Because nothing says “fun afternoon” like opening a five year old post and discovering half the images have vanished, three links lead to businesses that now exist only in memory, and somewhere deep in the code lives a font choice I definitely made during a caffeine spiral.

Welcome to my glamorous life.

Recently, I decided it was time to “freshen things up.” You know, a light polish. A little dusting.

Instead, I uncovered what I can only describe as The Ghost of PBnWhine Past.

This sneaky little phantom floats through my blog at night deleting pictures like a Victorian librarian with a grudge.

“Oh, you liked that step by step craft tutorial with helpful photos?”
Poof. Gone.

“That product review with beautifully staged shots?”
Vanished into the ether.

Now posts look like:

Step 1: Do the thing
Step 2: [image missing]
Step 3: Trust me

Very helpful. Ten out of ten. No notes.

And don’t get me started on the links.

Nothing keeps you humble like clicking a reference and landing on:

Error 404: This business has retired to Florida.

Apparently half the companies I worked with have closed, rebranded, or transformed into something called “Crypto Spoon AI Wellness Collective.” Time is wild.

So here I am, updating old posts like an archaeologist with Wi-Fi. Replacing images. Fixing links. Adding keywords. Whispering sweet nothings to Google like, “Please notice me. I have snacks.”

It’s not glamorous work, but it does make the blog faster, prettier, and easier to find. Which means more crafts, more reviews, more giveaways, and fewer digital tumbleweeds rolling through the pages.

Speaking of goodies…

So if you see me muttering at my laptop and chasing imaginary ghosts with a broom made of metadata, just know I’m not losing it.

I’m “optimizing.”

Which is blogger for: battling invisible spirits, resurrecting broken links, and bribing search engines with fresh content.

Totally normal behavior.
