Aboard the ship... I love the woman looking over her shoulder in the bottom left image.. what was running through her head?

If you are just stopping by for the first time, you can grab more images from the journey of a lifetime and read the story here.

Sylvia pointed out that there is a Polariod site that converts your images to Polariods. I'm sure they even add the correct shadows. If you are interested, here is the site: Polariod Project.  It's even ranked one of the top 100 sites on the web.. really, I need to get out more..

Thanks Sylvia!

I have been fiddling with Polariods (or the look of Polariods) for a little while now. Here is a blank frame for you to use..

 

To see what I did with the frame you can click HERE.   I used Photoshop CS and Photoscape to edit the images and insert them in the above frame.

I'm sure once I hit 40 it'll be a harder pill to swallow.

So for my birthday, here is another image from the album I mentioned before. A page shot from the scrapbook, this time the ladies were in Beirut.

 

 I just find these so interesting!!

]]>Donation Button Informationhttp://www.percyandbloom.com/the-vintage-moth/2010/2/19/donation-button-information.htmlAbigail Mooney2010-02-19T20:20:55ZDONATE flowers photographs roses

As you might have noticed, I recently added a donation button to the right sidebar.  I have had quite a few people thank me via email and inquire about donating to help support The Vintage Moth. (HONEST!)

So, I have added one. It is purely OPTIONAL!  Any amount is greatly appreciated, but

if you choose to make a donation of $10 (or more) your name, blog, or website will be added to a new sponsor section, that will be located directly below the DONATE Button. 

This will be a SIMPLE TEXT LINK, either your name, blog name or company name. (For larger image sponsorship, please email me.) 

The most recent donations will be added to the top of the list.  (ie.. if you donate and a few weeks later your name is at the bottom, then you can make another donation and you'll be bumped back up to the top again.)

Make sense?  It is a great way to get your blog, site, etc.. out there.

I'm not sure if anyone will be interested, but I DO KNOW that when I first started my Esty business I would have loved to be able to advertise on a high volume site for so little.

Since the beginning of 2010 we've had almost 100,000 unique visitors stop by, generating almost 400,000 views.

Visits are increasing by about 25% from the following month. Pretty good growth! The more who stop by, it makes me get my butt in gear and get more images for you!  :)

The rose photos I took the other day. You may use them however you'd like. For business or personal. Not matter.. enjoy!! (they are really large so that you can print them large!)

Carry on with your creativity!
