Signature-how to

Hi ladies,

A couple of you asked how to create your own signature, so here you go.

Click on my signature at the bottom of my post, this will take you to the create signature site.

Once you pick your signature select "see signature html code"
copy the code and if your using it in a post on a blog when you create your post, type it up as usual and then when you want to add your signature select the "Edit Html" tab on the upper right corner of your post window.

In the Edit Html section, paste your signature code and then you can go back to the compose tab and you will see your Fabulous new signature.

Have Fun and enjoy!!

Whomever wants to join, please do so! The more the merrier!
No weigh ins, no diets, just walking.
We all do that already!
This is just a personal goal that I'm thinking we could make fun.

So if you decide to join me, email me each week by 12 on Saturday with the number of steps you've taken.
I'll keep a talley of everyone's numbers and post here on my blog so everyone can see.
Then by the end of each month whomever is in the #1 place will receive a "FABULOUS 'WORTHLESS' (or priceless if you prefer) PRIZE"

Not for you right now? That is not a problem, hopefully I'll keep this going for awhile and you can join in at any time!

Know someone that you know would want to join in? Great! Have them email me so I have their email address to send updates.

Letter's From Reba

Thank you so much for everyone that has helped me with my Close To My Heart Journey so far! I truly could not accomplish any of this with out you as my amazing support system. I am having so much fun meeting new people and CTMH has opened so many doors for me I just am filled with joy anytime I think about it.
I know that 2009 is going to bring so many new adventures including Stampers Club, the May Idea Book Reveal and Crop For A Cause as well as an upcoming Hostess Appreciation Event and Opportunity Breakfast!
It is so hard to contain my excitement for Close To My Heart, my poor husband has to hear about it every single day, especially when the new Idea Books are scheduled to come out! I have definitely found a new appreciation for UPS and it’s almost like Christmas when they arrive!Thank you again, each and everyone!
“May the rest of your day, be the Best of your day!” ~Stamping Diva, Susan Finch

Sincerely,
Reba
