HERE’S HOW TO COMMENT ON A BLOG

HERE’S HOW TO COMMENT ON A BLOG

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by.  Something different today. So often I hear people say they would love to leave a comment, but don’t know how. It can be very frustrating. Some people struggle with their phones and their Ipads etc.  But it’s all a lot easier than we think.  Don’t look at me like that!!! If the wind turns…. So I thought let’s find some answers… Believe me when I tell you I only figured it out by pressing…

NEW Snazzy Christmas Jumper!

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Just in time to try out the latest in snazzy Christmas attire!

Hello there. Thanks for dropping in. I am actually on my way to New York today, just for a week, to see Grace, my lovely girl. But I didn’t want to abandon the blog for a week, so had a very busy few days, and prepared some nice things for the week ahead. Why don’t you let it go? I hear you say, Just for a week!

If Toucan, you can!!

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Saturday’s Blog a New Technique, right. Well here a mix of old and new. Like any Blog project, the secret is to pick what you like, and leave the rest behind.  There’s something in everything for everyone – even if it’s to establish that it’s not your cuppa! If you watched You Tube Tuesday last week, with the shaving foam, you will have seen me smear the remnants of some shaving foam left on…

Poinsettias and patience

Poinsettias and patience

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Friday’s blog a private peek, so today I thought I’d show you something pretty impressive… Remember ages ago – must have been just after Christmas –  we had the discussion about our poinsettias.  which had mostly shed their leaves, leaving rather barren looking sticks. Look familiar? Well, the question was whether we binned it, or put up with its sad-looking state, to see if it might turn the corner if we gave it light…

Lacy Swallows on a Gelli Print

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by on this  Thursday’s blog is always blue blog day! I decided to use the lovely Lacy Swallows again.  Apparently though, do NOT look up Lacey Swallows on Google! You may get some pretty birds, but I doubt they’ll be much good for stamping…. So without burying myself even further here,  let’s crack on, shall we? So as I was saying, Large Lacy Swallow Small Lacy Swallow Here’s a blue background I made a while…

The mini round ink blenders have landed!

The mini round ink blenders have landed!

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Wednesday’s blog is something new, so aren’t we happy that the new mini round ink blenders  from Ranger arrived yesterday! together with their refills: I had a play straightaway, to see if they are as good as everybody says they are.. Verdict? Excellent. Much easier to use than the larger square version for going round the edges. So here’s a little project I rustled up, using the little sponge disks to great effect in…
