NEWS FLASH :BLOGGER UPLOADING PHOTO CHANGE

If you haven't already realised Blogger has now changed the way we upload pictures to our blogs, its all to do with FTP and server space etc etc so you will need to have a direct link to your work. I use PHOTOBUCKET and have used it for years.  It is a pain to have to upload your pics to somewhere else then use the DIRECT LINK in the box here but once you get the hang of it you will be fine.  The direct link you need to use from photo bucket is the one listed as Direct Link and starts with http://i .  I hope this is of some help to those of you who haven't read about the change or are not sure. 

Other picture hosting sites are Flickr and picasa web albums I don't use either of these but they are similar to Photobucket you will have to register to use the service but dont fret it does take a bit of getting used to but once you know how you will be fine.

Technology is a wonderful thing isn't it LOL

Bye for Now

WOYWW

Okay okay I know I have been missing for a few days please forgive me, I haven't been feeling my usual self so haven't been at my desk.  I have however finished my first DT project for Magical Crafts but you will have to wait until the weekend to see that and I do hope you will join in this fortnight.

Right so after chatting to my lovely blogging and now face book buddy Dawn Please check out her fabulous Blog!!!  Dawn has encouraged me to take part in WOYWW  This stands for 'what's on your work desk Wednesday'.  Why oh Why do I let myself get involved in these things I ask myself and I think you will agree when you see my work desk!!!!

So with out further ado here is my work desk *runs and hides*
You can see just some left over bits and bobs from my DT work, and basically all my bits of mess that need to be around me so I can work, this however is more tidy than it usually is (gosh I am so embarrassed, you haven't even see the floor!!!!  This is in our bedroom by the window and I can just about shut the curtains as my stuff sort of goes on to the window sill.

So there we have it.  GO get involved! Its good fun *dazie tells her self as she goes to clean her craft space*  Oh the shame!!!!

Catch you all soon I have seen there are some changes to the way we upload pics so I will make a new post incase you are unsure about how to do that.
Byeeee

Some Fantastically Exciting News!

I have been fit to burst all weekend after a email I received the other day. The email said  I had made the design team for Magical Crafts Challenge Blog!!!!  I love this blog as you can enter different craft techniques and alternatives , which I think gives us all the opportunity to have ago at some thing other than a card.  It is also fortnightly giving everyone plenty of time to submit their lovely work!  

This is my very first design team place and I am so very excited!!!!  I do hope that some of you will be able to take part in the challenges!  I am also excited to be working with some fantastic crafters, I have spent much of the weekend looking at their fabulous blogs!

There is a new challenge starting today the theme is 'Some thing For the girls' and the sponsor is the fabulous Stamping Boutique so why not check it out!
Catch you all soon

Oh wow this weather is simply gorgeous although still a tad cold.  Yesterday we thought we would take a trip to the beach only to find out just how cold it was, we quickly retreated into town and then off to the garden centre where they have a massive wooden pirate ship, the kids had fun I sat in the sun and hubby made me watch him eat a giant ice cream.  I am still on a diet so no ice cream for me boo hoo.
