    A lot of great ideas, now is a great time to tackle the challenge of creating the best outdoor patio. I noticed, while shopping over the weekend for some outdoor accessories, that a lot of the patio furniture and outdoor accessories are becoming hard to find. I guess a lot of their inventory has been depleted.

    Jenn-

    If you get a chance, I have a dumb question for you. Is there a way that I can grab a photo of another feature you have? I wanted to show my readers some of the projects. The only thing I know how to do is have the link back to your site. Is there a way I can grab their photo and link that back? Probably a dumb question, but this blog stuff is pretty new to me.

    Thanks again for the double feature!!

      Hi Heidi!

      If you right click on the picture you want to feature, there is an option that says “view image” then it will come up in a different window. You can right click on that image and save it to your computer. Then when you are writing your post you can bring the picture into your post from your computer and then add the link to the source 🙂 I hope that makes sense. Let me know if I can help!

      xoxo
