Blogger does it again.

Oh golly gee whiz.  I hate it when Blogger tries something new.  I have ignored the ominous message at the the top of my screen whenever I open up Paper Kisses about how my browser is no longer supported by Blogger.  Of course they want me to download Google Chrome.  Today as I was trying to post I couldn't get anywhere so I did it.  I downloaded Google Chrome and everything is totally different.  So here's hoping this post works............
I am a bit late with today's Silhouette Sunday, but I have been working feverishly (wipng my hand across my brow...) in Paint Shop Pro trying to get a decent picture of my project.  It's glass and I find glass so hard to photograph.  But here goes....
OK --- look's like it worked :-)    I found this adorable apple plate at the local second hand store and thought it would be perfect for a little fall etching project. Cutting stencils is easy peasy with the Silhouette.  The only real 'trick' is to make sure you leave enough of a border so the etching cream doesn't get on any part of the glass that you do not want etched.  The leaf in the upper left corner was an after thought because I wasn't pay enough attention and a bit of the cream got up there where I didn't want it.  Not really a problem because I just cut another stencil and etched that part, but if you are working on something that wouldn't lend itself to any additions, then you must be careful.  
I am making a note to myself to check back with the thrift store tomorrow and get the other three plates they had.  I hope you have a fabulous week and I thank you for stopping by.
Hugs, Shawna

What a great "find" in that apple shaped plate and love how you decorated it! I love those second hand stores and can always manage to find stuff! Very prettily done Shawna.
Glad you got your blogger issue taken care of. I was having so many problems with it not long ago and finally downloaded Firefox - which I like so much better. I have heard that the Google Chrome is good too!

Very good stuff presented, Shawna. I'm glad you keep this topic updated. Google chrome is the best browser ever.
