Rooster postcards for you and Back Up Your Blog!


Hello all! I wanted to share a few Easter postcards with you tonight!  I just love that they have roosters on them!  These were gifts from a dear friend. I wanted to scan them so that you could use in your decorating or artwork this spring.  Have fun!

Hey, it is March 1st already. Time to back up your blog. Go to dashboard, settings, blog tools and export. You will download a file copy of your entire blog to your computer. This will not delete your blog. I do this at the beginning of each month. If something were to happen and Blogger loses Rusty Rooster Vintage, I will have the entire contents saved through the most recent first of the month. I may lose a couple weeks worse case instead of my entire blog. 


I'm busy this week with work and helping Kara study for the county spelling bee. The bee is this Friday.  I hope to get in a little studio time tonight after the kids are in bed.  How about you? What are you doing this week? Feel free to leave a link to your blog in your comments. I have not had as much time to visit this week. I don't want to miss anything! Thank you so much for your follows and your comments. I love them! Hugs!

    Very cute postcards. Thanks for sharing. And congratulations to your daughter on the Spelling Bee! That's terrific. I could use her because I just tried to spell terrific with two f's! The older I get the worse my spelling.

    Darling Easter cards, nice change to have roosters! Congrats to your daughter on the Spelling Bee! I'm a horrible speller, without spell check, it would not be good!
    Thanks for the tip on down loading the blog, I would be sad if it was lost for some reason!

    Congrats to Kara and good luck on Friday.

    Thanks for the scanned images, they are so pretty.

    I don't have much planned for this week or weekend, which is a good thing. But I am having a giveaway that ends Saturday, hopefully you can come by and enter.

    Thanks for the tip! Just did it and I'm glad you reminded me! Might I ask a question, since were on a techy topic... would you know why my feed refuses to show up on people's blogs, and how I could fix that? I have no idea how I can fix this problem, and here you seem to have experience with bloggity stuff :) If of course, this isn't a great problem and doesnt waste your time... -.- I'd be much obliged...

    I love the cards, so springlike and colorful. Happy you shared that with us... love the roosters!

    hugs,
