I agree with Davimad

My picture and clue will not be ready until after Christmas though.

I have been trying to make a word processor document with the pictures and clues side by side, but as everyone doesn't have the same software it might not look right for everyone. I don't have Word, I have Works, and even if I save it as a RTF file it doesn't look quite the same. I can save it as a HTM file and email it to everyone, that way the photo quality stays the same too.

The trouble is that I wanted to put the clues besides the pictures. I won't be able to do that if I put the pics on the forum. I'd have to put 3 pics and 3 clues in a post. It'd still work, just wouldn't look as good. I wanted it to look like a family album.

I'll sort it out eventually.

Whichever way you decide is fine by me Pauline.

Some of the pictures may be old and faded, you would need the highest quality for them. Sending via email could be the best bet.

Now everyone will think my pic is old and faded.

One never knows.HAHAHA

Wahey! I'm in the process of setting up a web site.

I've already put the 3 pics I've got on it and it's looking good. It keeps the quality of the pictures and looks very professional.

As long as you're not old and faded, Maureen, that's all that matters.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 5:32 pm

WTG Pauline.

I don't think I'm old and faded, maybe when I reach my fortieth birthday.

Who knows?

I allmost have my clue ready, but I can't send a picture before Christmas, since I don't have any. But I'm visiting my father at Dec 24th and I know he has some

Besides that I'm rather busy with other stuff too (in the Classic forum)

, but I certainly look forward to participate in this

Got your pics Maureen and eeyore31.

Lillian, Has anyone got a camera phone? I wonder if you could take a picture of the picture and email it? Don't know if it would work or not.

Mette, don't worry there's plenty of time.

It's lovely seeing everyone as kids, I feel like everyone's granny.

My sister says I'm like Janet Street Porter in I'm a Celebrity, and I am, but only to her.

There are now 12 pictures on the web site. Another couple coming after Christmas, but we still need more people. Come on, don't be shy. Let's have a laugh at your baby photos.

Mine's really naff.

Discgolfer, if you're back on the forum, how about joining us?

Jen, you did the last one, what about this one?

Just include me, I don't need any photographs from then... unless you mean babies

Oh, and one more thing... back in August when I said I was 8, well... My mom said I was 8, But I was still 7! Now I'm 8.

Sorry about the confusion, folks.

You can join in Loof if you send me a photo of you as a baby, or one of you as you are now, cos no-one knows what you look like. And a clue to go with the picture. There's no age limit.

Hi Pauline
Please ignore my PM asking for more info - I've found it now.
I'll certainly join in, but will have to ask my mum for pictures of me as a kid, I haven't got any.

Liz

popo · Post by **popo** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:40 am

Glad you can join us Liz. You've still got plenty of time to get your pic to me, it won't be getting finished till after Christmas.

popo · Post by **popo** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 2:08 pm

I still need pictures from Mette and Salin, and anyone else who wants to join in. When you're ready, no rush.

Robbie · Post by **Robbie** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 9:49 pm

I think everyone's on holidays Pauline... or busy getting something done for the comp.

Hope you had a great Christmas over there!

Robbie

popo · Post by **popo** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 9:10 am

I had a very non-Christmas this year. My son who still lives at home went to his dad's for Christmas, and my husband was working through Christmas and just decided to tell me he's not very bothered about turkey. So I did a leg of lamb instead. Add to that I couldn't climb up to get the trimmings out, and nobody would do it for me, so I've had no trimmings either. I did put all my Christmas cards up though, and I have got a tree on my desktop.

Oh, and I can't have a drink cos the medication I'm on says 'avoid alcohol'.

All in all, I feel a bit like Scrooge this Christmas. (Do I hear violins?)

Robbie · Post by **Robbie** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 9:35 am

Is there an option of one or the other

Come on Pauline - even Scrooge had a good Christmas! I'm sure you had something to be thankful for.

Robbie

popo · Post by **popo** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 10:46 am

Yes, I have a lot to be thankful for.

The most important being that I have not been personally affected by the terrible earthquake that's just happened. My heart goes out to all those people who have been affected by it in one way or another. This has been a tradegy of Biblical proportions.

On the lighter side, as I don't have any trimmings up, I won't have the job of taking them down again.
