I hope it shows up. =(Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-86037960652100248212013-01-06T08:46:40.617-06:002013-01-06T08:46:40.617-06:00Me again ;-) Just to let you know I've install...Me again ;-) Just to let you know I've installed Google Chrome and pic uploading problem solved.

I particularly like the piece with the cardinal - gorgeous colours and, as we don't get cardinals over here in Scotland, I miss seeing them as I did during my year long stay in Wellesley. I don't make resolutions anymore - I fear I just set myself up to fail and I get pretty fed up beating myself up about them. At my age, I'm happy to potter along and do what I can when my health allows. I don't know if mine is one of the blogs you can't leave a comment on ... I do so hope so. I wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous 2013 - Elizabeth xxElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762785911026167332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-84255384839140163862013-01-05T22:20:39.415-06:002013-01-05T22:20:39.415-06:00I enjoyed your post very much, and I must say I ag...I enjoyed your post very much, and I must say I agree with you about replying through the blog comments, I don't reply through e-mails either, I have so many blog friends to visit that replying by e-mail would just double the load! waving hi from the rainy hills of North Carolina :) SandeeNChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835920831404996017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-64816741794224494982013-01-05T19:30:48.227-06:002013-01-05T19:30:48.227-06:00Hi Elizabeth and Happy New Year to you.

As a friend wished me I shall wish that 2013 brings you more of what you like and less of what you don't :-)<br />Still unable to post pics from my computer; I really don't want to download Picasa as I had it once before and didn't particularly like it. I also don't want to upload photos directly from my phone as it's easier to crop and/or edit some way once they're on the computer. Still if I can't sort it out any other way I'll be forced to upload from my phone.<br />I love to read your 'out and abouts' and intend to get out more myself this year. I don't make resolutions as such but am thinking it may be a good idea to lay some things out on my blog that I'd like to try to do and maybe that would encourage me to make more effort.<br />Anne xLiverpool Lou (Anne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031623590883933453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-68839812443061377562013-01-05T11:19:27.956-06:002013-01-05T11:19:27.956-06:00i am hopeless with resolutions, instead I have a b...i am hopeless with resolutions, instead I have a bucket list of things i want to do in my lifetime, and occasionally i get to cross one off. Some are big things like visting countries etc but others are tiny,tiny thing like finishing off a mini book..doesn't matter on the size they all go on the list.<br /><br />Re. the reading club, of course you don't need to be on fb, that is just a place to chat. With my challenge being a monthly one this year there is lots of time inbetween posts for people to forget they are playing lol the fb group is where they can chat and keep in touch and encourage each other to get on with the books and the art. Plus its much easier for me to answer any questions very quickly in there as I am always on fb lol <br /><br />But as with all the info, I have only set out 'guidelines' thats all they are, make it work however you wish. xDarcy Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757570465453157245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-63440376688422888922013-01-05T08:22:52.250-06:002013-01-05T08:22:52.250-06:00Thanks for visiting - I swear you have more troubl...Thanks for visiting - I swear you have more trouble with blogger than anyone else I know!

Nasty (porn, etc) comments among them. With the verification, I don't have to see the nastiness. And for the same reason (plus there are some people who troll blogs to have sport leaving ugly comments) is why I moderate. I realize it is a hassle but it's what has to be. <br /><br />I love your blog and the challenges and reading along how you do things. After the library book sale this spring, I'm going to do your altered book lessons.

I've said it before but I really appreciate all the time you put in your blog, tutorials and in the comments you leave. Especially because I usually find it hard to write down a nice, original comment. (maybe because English isn't my native language ??)<br /><br />I'm very happy my parcel arrived at your doorstep today.
