 Picnik Needs to Stay Open Petition Its Stay Please!

Welcome to Second Time Treasures everyone, and glad to see you all here. Have you heard about Picnik? Do you use Picnik? It is a photo editing program that has been free, and also a small premium fee for more added features. Very easy to use, no hassles, uncomplicated, no hard to read and understand software to deal with, and I cannot say enough good about this place. I have sooo enjoyed using them, and then came the news of Google taking them over. Things went well, nothing bad was coming of it till now with this announcement. When you can please visit this site, and sign a petition to stop this madness. The alternative being given to us to use is with Google+. I enjoy Google+ myself, but do not like it for the photo editing I have with Picnik. Doing things this way feels as though Google is now really pushing the Google Plus at us. Sad:(

So, stop on by, give it a read, and better yet....sign a petition to protest this change that Google is once again enforcing....that does NOT need to be done! I thank you all for visiting, and taking the time with this announcement. Take care, and have a super weekend everyone!

Official Announcement: Picnik is closing 

 

USPS Postal Rates Increasing Notice Soon Effective

USPS Postal Rates Increasing Notice Soon Effective. 

Hello, and Welcome to Second Time Treasures. Always glad to have you stop, and visit with Me. Whew! What a week, not enough time for everything, trying to make out a schedule of things for me to do during the week...blogging, website, social networks, market places, pictures, listings, repurposing upcycling and recreating, so on, so on, and so on. 

While doing that I wanted to drop by here, and give you all a heads up, and a friendly reminder about our postal rates increasing. Yep, that time of year again, another postal increase, and it goes into effect January 22, 2012. Postage stamps will go from .44 up to .45. Course, everything else will going higher too. I tried to get a chart from the USPS site for all of the changes, but was having problems accessing it all to make some copies. Hopefully all of you will be able to find them numbers you need for all things you do with mailing. I like to have my charts copied ahead of time so that I can calculate all the flat rate shipping that I offer with things I sell. 

Also, another reminder.....there will be NO mail on Monday, the 16th. Martin Luther King Jr Birthday is being observed. I know, that one got by me too. I had to look at the calender when I was being reminded....they were right, and I was a day off again:)

Hope this finds everyone having a super weekend. I am trying to work on gluing some things with the limited working spaces I have right now. I started one piece, added some glue, checked on it, has not moved and is setting. Will let it sit over night before I try to glue the other piece to it. When it is completed I will drop by here, and show ya'll a picture of what I have done. This time I am using 3 pieces, and they are all new pieces too. Yepper! Bought them from the store this time to try. 

Thanks again for visiting with Second Time Treasures. Hope ya'll are having a super start to the weekend. Take care, have fun thrifting, hope you can get out to do some treasure hunting, and enjoy it all! Make sure you say Hi so I know you were here, and that I can come by to visit with you also. Toodles! See you again soon:-)

Happy New Year Everyone in Blogland Bloggers and Website Visitors!

Thinking of all of you, and hoping everyone had a great weekend too! Some will go back to work tomorrow, and some will still have the day off too. No mail, banks will be closed, and some of the retailers will also take this as their holiday. 

So, did everyone have fun? Did you have any big plans, or celebrations that you attended? Hope everyone had some fun, enjoyed it, and most of all that you were safe too. I had a pizza, some beer, was home by myself, and worked on things in house a bit along with some work in my internet stores too. Relaxing evening:)

Hope ya'll enjoyed your weekend, and here is to everyone having a super great new year. Here is to 2012!! Take care, and see you again soon!:)
