Queen Kat Stamps Blog Hop - I can't upload photos.

I am sooooo very sorry that there is no picture here. I tried for the last 6 hours to upload my pictures. But alas I can't. If u stopped by my blog on the hop please hop over to Keely's place. http://keelyy.blogspot.com/
I am going to have a tech savvy friend look into this problem tomorrow. Where the icons should be to click on to upload photos....... ALL the icons are gone. I am not sure what to do and I have no clue where they went. If anyone reading this has some wisdom for me. Please leave me a comment or email me.
I am so sorry to disappoint anyone who was traveling to my blog today. Thanks!!!!
