It validates me as an artist, and keeps me keepin on making things. I also wanted my kids and grabdkids to know that this grandma is hip to the tech world.<br />FaceBook kind of obliterates any privacy, so I don't worry about it too much. I do try to tell about our trips after the fact.<br />All though painting and making jewelry are my first loves, I make all of my own cards, and very much enjoy seeing what others are doing on WOYWW. There seem to be a lot of card makers there.<br />I follow most of my favorite blogs on my blog sight, however a few of them are emailed to me. I especially like to follow the girls from the UK etc. because I love the way they talk and the terms they use. They also have different supplies that might give me a new idea. Keep up the good work.

Posy gets cozy<br />2. Ali Edwards<br />3. Nana Company<br />4. Teresa Collins<br />5. LA VIDA A LO ANCHO<br />I usually don't comment on these blogs, just a stalker and a drooler!<br />I comment mostly on people that I consider friends or on people who have left me a nice comment and of course to as many as I have time for on WoyWW!<br />I probably continue to blog because I have had it so long it would be like losing something precious! I have a lot of friends through blogging that I would miss if I didn't dip in now and again!<br />I never knew that Dunnit wasn't your real name. For the first year or so I only had my name as crafty cardi higgins or Deb. I only revealed my surname once I joined a design team!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190084134993689980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-28995180008178031372014-01-29T11:25:57.139+00:002014-01-29T11:25:57.139+00:005.

Basically - the ones in my sidebar are the ones I try and stay 'up' with. I don't always comment as often as I could or should, especially if there are LOADS of comments already but these are the ones I will try and catch up with when I've fallen behind. It's a hodge podge - some are informational, some are gorgeous art & craft & journalling, some are friends - ALL are inspirational.<br /><br />The two who at the moment, make me spend my cash on yummies are helen (Stamping by H) and Shroo (http://artyshroo.blogspot.com/) Oh blimey my wishlist contains mainly of stuff they have talked about! SUCH enablers!<br /><br />6. Trying to think if I follow any celebrity bloggers. What do you count as celebrity? I don't follow the ones that are obviously just selling. That grinds my gears. OR if they switch off comments. Like they are far to busy to read my comment but I must have the time to sit and read? Nope.<br /><br />The celebrity ones I read (celebrity to me) are Chris Cozen (http://chriscozenartist.typepad.com/my-blog/) and Julie Prichard (http://thelandoflostluggage.com/), also Julie Fei-fan Balzer. (http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/) I like them because although, yes, they do mention their products they are also incredibly generous with showing their art and saying how they did it as well. They aren't in your face.<br /><br />7. I don't always comment. I should as I like comments myself. But, especially if I'm on my tablet and they have word verification enabled - it's really irritating. But I do try and comment. Just am naughty sometimes.<br /><br />And finally. yes - validation. And like I said before - watching, hopefully, my personal growth.Carmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-48888834446922120422014-01-29T11:25:13.140+00:002014-01-29T11:25:13.140+00:00Having to split this over 2 comments. Blogger told...Having to split this over 2 comments. Blogger told me off.<br /><br />I love this post! I've opened another screen so I can work through your questions as I read them. You know how I like to ramble!<br /><br />1. I have tried to schedule posts before and am the same as you - they come across contrived and not... me. So now I blog as and when but that might mean I have a blog every day for a week and then nothing for the next week so I should really learn to space it out.<br /><br />"f I have something I'd like to discuss, it pops into my head. I may walk around it for a couple of days before sitting at the keyboard, but then it's all out in a splurge and I have to edit frantically. Spelling, tenses, repetition, rubbish - oh yes, it all gets put in and largely, taken out!" YES! This is my blogging practice EXACTLY!<br /><br />2. Yes, I try to always include a picture. Even it means a picture I have previously used. It hurts my eyes when I visit a page of pure text. Even more so if there are no spaces or paragraphs. If I have no picture, I am not averse to 'borrowing' one. I always try and find it's source to link to and if I know the original source is I will usually ask permission too (like with the fella on my crow post. Asked his permission - if he hadn't replied I would probably still have used it but be doubly sure to link to him)<br /><br />3. I would love, LOVE to be a 'proper' artist. To have a career out of it. For now the family especially the younger two have to take priority and I know that dedicating proper time to it will have to wait till Little Mister is at nursery. I knew that (didn't realise how frustrating it would be sometimes) but I knew that. So for now my blog was started for and is a record of, hopefully, how I am growing. To remind myself of that. I often wonder if I include to much personal stuff but I cannot tell you how MUCH Rocking Friday has changed the way I think. So I wouldn't and couldn't stop now. I just try not to reveal *too* much. I always ask the older girls if I can post pictures of them.<br /><br />4. I wish I did post more regularly but as and when seems to be working for now. I arrive here the blog roll on my sidebar. I use that firstly and there are a couple of other blogs that I am not such an avid reader of but still like now and then that I have signed up to email subs. If you're on my roll though - you're one of my favourites ;)<br /><br />I don't really mind if blogs post to a routine. There is only one that I check without fail on the day that it is published and that is Postsecret on a Sunday...<br /><br />Carmen https://www.blogger.com/profile/07968725221313800020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-8335409728609825352014-01-29T05:32:48.603+00:002014-01-29T05:32:48.603+00:00Hi Julia thought would duck down and say my two ce...Hi Julia thought would duck down and say my two cents worth... and think am mostly like you ... keep my name and home, peeps therein private... like that for everyone's sake..<br /><br />My blog is "say what you want when you want blog" but aim is to be help and encouragement...<br /><br /><br />... .. and posts are scrappingly worked on.. <br />I will put in post ideas for drafts to come back late, or photos of items not yet blogged but very few words..<br /><br /><br />But may if needs be schedule a post...<br />and so on.... have forgotten other questions short range memory!!

You have a Pretty Rose Photo and a smart postman Ms Julia with a fake name. !!!! But I totally understand.<br />I started blogging 6 yrs ago after I retired and purchased a beautiful greeting card from ebay. I loved her blog and started following many of the same. But over the years, I've changed the ones I visit to more mixed media, unique girls from other countries, some design team members, who's card creations are unique, love the swaps, challenges, and some that offer a variety with cooking, gardening and JUNK...Rusty, Old Recycled JUNK or Antiques ! <br />I could never be committed to a DT as I don't like committment to anything on a regular basis. I react, off the cuff, when time permits and creativity has been done I might post. I don't follow Celeb's their lives are too dramatic and day to day living don't exist. <br />Some of the blogs I visit, I am overwhelmed with all the things they do, but I tell myself, they are young, excited and have much to offer. I've been there, done that and enjoy the peace and quiet of what happens happens. <br />I usually always comment, as I enjoy my visits, I marvel at the talent and I enjoy the creativity of all designers. It's fun to see how new things develop and the way designs change. I LOVE new products, new papers, new fabric and old repurposed STUFF. My favorite visits are to "STUDIOS" or "CRAFTY WORKSPACES" and Karen at My Desert Cottage has a post once a year WHERE BLOGGERS CREATE that will take you a year to make your visits. It is here: http://www.mydesertcottage.com/2013/06/are-you-ready-to-be-inspired-again.html. Well Julia, it's a long post....but I want you to know I love your strait forwardness, your energy and the fun you have with WOYWW. After all it's my only regular post. As I have made many friends by following along.

How do I blog? on a wednesday for woyww and even then it might only be once a fortnight. I try to keep a lot of the family stuff out. I think I once posted a pic of my new kitchen. The teenagers are nameless and the DH is faceless. My favourite blogs are usually about art,craft,scrapbooking or books. Every now and then I just delete all my bookmarks and start again. I have NO interest in celebrities unless they craft and then they only want to sell stuff. Addicted to pinterest but can't schedule a post, that probably sums it up. If it becomes too technical I just go back to crafting and ignore the world.

I now blog to share what I'm doing creatively and to share what ever I have learned, ( always wanted to be a teacher:O) ).. As how I write, with trepidation since English wasn't my best subject,( I did love the subject ) too many spelling and grammar errors, spell check is my best friend. Art is my hobby well passion and that is mostly what I blog about, might post some photo's if I do anything exciting, that isn't often. I have always used my name, I agree the government knows everything about us so can't hide. I do love to feature other artist and share there creative work. I had a wonderful postman when I had the group, I would always show him what the artist were doing, he enjoyed seeing it as much as I did, sadly he is retired now. As far as any tech things, can't do it, I did teach myself how to use the computer by reading almost everything on my computer, sadly I forget a lot LOL..<br />Well your blog is the best, WOYWW is fabulous,it's like you have Tea at your house and everyone is invited, now how kool is that. My other favorite blogs all inspire me <br />1, my Magpie cousin who is now designing, we Magpies are very proud of her http://magpieheaven.blogspot.ca/<br />2. Miss Patty another magpie, a wonderful mixed media artist http://bitze.wordpress.com/<br />3.Miss Alison, who is the BOMB, designer extraordinaire .. http://alisonbomber.blogspot.ca/.<br />3. Miss Gio, now she is the Recycle Queen and is a designer for The Craft Barn ,http://giogioscrap.blogspot.ca/<br />5. Miss Lynne who art work is published in almost every paper magazine and the sweetest Lady ,http://lynnesbowsandbelles.wordpress.com/, I could go on, my favorite blogs are all on my side bar. this has been great fun, thanks well for just being you, see you tomorrow, ((( BIG HUGS )))..<br />Dianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/04719124445447564433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-8071511699806919502014-01-28T23:13:00.455+00:002014-01-28T23:13:00.455+00:00Well I had a mini book written and I lost it.

For a connection to other people who understand what I'm doing in my little Fun Room. <br /><br />I post mostly when I'm busy and have things to show; a quick look at my blog will tell you I'm not overly descrining in this regard, lol, but there are lots of things I make that don't go up. <br /><br />I love feedback. I don't really have a lot of people I can ask how would you solve this problem, or do you think this would be better if....?<br /><br />I love WOYWW, which I generally write and post on Tuesday nights because for whatever reason I am less bsuy on Tuesday (sometimes) and the time difference allows me to do that. <br /><br />Favorit blogs - it changes. I do like Tim Holtz, France Papillion - Journal on Monday series and watching her journey has been fantastic, Finnebair - because this woman is wickedly creaive and original, Pictures and Words - again watching her journey has been fun and her layering is amazing, Mixed Media Studios - more in the Finnebair vien - eye candy, Marjie Kemper Designs - Marjie was very kind to me and sent me something elarly in the bloggin life - I'm a lifelong fan...I usually check in with Simon Says Stamp....I know. I'll make a list with the links this week for WOYWW. A little slow on the uptake here....lol. <br /><br />And if you are still with me, I love your stream of consciousness...it is just like a talking to you. I tend to write in a similar manner, or at least that's what Jan told me! I considered it a GREAT compliment.<br /><br />PS I think it's funny it never occurred to me to change my name in blogland. I figure Big Brother knows who I am, what I do, who I talk to, what I surf, etc. <br /><br />See you in a couple of days. <br /><br /><br />sara jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10722304902778647902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-28898499693884392992014-01-27T19:19:40.026+00:002014-01-27T19:19:40.026+00:00Aaah I typed a long comment and my machine crashed...Aaah I typed a long comment and my machine crashed..<br />1 - I blog because I want to, I love it, I am addicted, I break out into a cold sweat if I go 3 days without blogging. Hubby thinks I am NUTS<br />1a - Fortunately the discovery of challenge blogs has enriched my life and given me a reason to make cray cray stuff that no one needs :) I give it all to charity! And it means I can blog at least 5 times a week!<br />2 - I like blogging about my craft world, but also about random stuff, hence why I love your blog..a focused blog about just one topic is nice, but dull...I want to hear about the misters, hubbies, cats, dogs, rocking horses, etc<br />3 - I do not like celebrity blogs<br />4 - I love surfing and reading blogs my current fave is http://refashionista.net/<br />5 - I use photos from all sources, but only if they suit my post<br />6 - I keep people's full names and locations out of it, along with my actual home address / street location<br />7 - I have a stash of posts, some are for my DT entries - so they are ready to go, I have some filler posts - aka things I have made that I want to share, but I am busy entering challenges, etc so there is no space for them..I use these posts when I want a challenge blog entry break or if I am feeling lazy. I always have the next WOYWW ready (no pics) just the title and the WOYWW explanation<br />8 - I don't schedule posts, I don't trust this function!<br />9 - I love WOYWW and your blog and you, because you have given me a massive group of WOYWW friends that stop by nearly every day, they comment, send me stuff and generally make me feel like less of a weirdo :) <br />10 - I comment on blogs because it means so much to me when people comment on mine that I want to reciprocate where I can.<br />11 - I hate it when people try to sell me stuff 'slyly' on their blog, I just want to nose at the pretty things.<br />12 - I love YouTube tutorials and have learnt some great things this way..check this out..this is why I craft. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3D77sMmwd8&list=UULScyCwp-_LedmCbBwsbkqg&feature=c4-overview<br /><br />CxClaire Granthamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754034360515324995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-4194584419918437262014-01-27T13:18:49.657+00:002014-01-27T13:18:49.657+00:00Good Grief Julia! That is all too much for a Blog...Good Grief Julia! That is all too much for a Blogging Bear with very little brain to think about. I am sure Pooh would have blogged if he were still able to write! <br />I blog at the moment, though I do load up photos of projects whilst doing someat else as our t'internet is sooooo sloooooow. Then I write them up when I have the time or I want to. I tend to blog in lunchbreaks and when I get a spare bit of space in the evening. I don't as a rule blog in advance unless I am going away. I don't tend to announce beforehand when or where, same as FB, for security purposes, if you know what I mean. Not going through that upset ever again!<br />I always return visits if they comment, though not always as quick as I like. I too have a list on my phone of ideas that has cobwebs on, or would do if it was a written list. I try to keep personal stuff to a minimum as much as possible.<br />I fink that is all you wanted to know.<br />There I Dunnitt!<br />Hugs<br />xxHettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986816219598719681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-37525695803143835512014-01-26T20:18:42.256+00:002014-01-26T20:18:42.256+00:00OMG! Girl you weren't kidding about a quiz at...OMG! Girl you weren't kidding about a quiz at the end of the post! <br />1. I am a blabberer and like to put parts of my life out on the web but keep a lot secret because people just don't have a need to know...some don't want to know. I have a second blog for various issues I have had with health and diet problems and use that more for a sounding board. I have more personal issues there. <br />2. I don't create blog posts on a routine basis except for the WOYWW each Wednesday and I have been deficient with that of late. I don't do scheduled posts very often but when I do it is usually because I am traveling or other reason. <br />3. I love adding pictures of whatever is appropriate to my blog post and usually post too many. <br />4. My favorite blogs today are Tim Holtz, Dyan Reavely, Wendy Vecchi, Balazar, and Tamora Laporte....I don't know what they will be tomorrow...I am a bit fickle <br />that way! I read a lot of the blogs from WOYWW on off days too so it is hard to say who I like best. I rarely comment on celebrity blog posts but always try and say a little something on "friends" blogs. I try to limit reading time to an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening...I don't watch TV.<br />5. DH says I use way too many ...or !!! in posts but hey that's me and I can't seem to change. <br />6. Why do I blog? It is a catharsis...I spew stuff out and I feel good about sharing! I think people like what I do and I like that. IS it narcissistic...maybe<br />7. Okienurse my "nom de plume" so to speak came out of trying to keep my real name off of the internet for privacy but after a while I decided I just didn't care and if someone bothered me then I would take action. I have had several old friends renew friendship because of it being out there. <br />Okay...no more or my comments will be as long as your post...okienursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737956457626102108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-67120465172494444782014-01-26T17:01:59.563+00:002014-01-26T17:01:59.563+00:00Hello, I've been sitting on this comment for ...Hello, I've been sitting on this comment for a few days. Trying to pick only 5 was quite difficult. Lets start with my blog. I do it mostly as a hobby. I don't worry if I don't comment for a day or a week. I want to keep blogging fun, not stressful. I think it's important to balance my life with craft, mental and physical exercise. I am on the Poppystamps Design Team, and that has been fun and also requires me to stick to a timeline posting for them. As of the first of this year, I became a member of the Sparkles Christmas Challenge Design Team. It also is fun and keeps me motivated toward Christmas. I'm not counting your blog as one of the 5 but you know it really is number 1. I look forward to Wednesday. That too makes me think I need to be making something, not just looking at blogs. There are two blogs that I follow almost daily: Pixie's Crafty Workshop and It's an Alien Life. I almost count those 2 as 1 as they certainly play back and forth and it's fun to see what they've created, but also what mischief they have gotten themselves into. A Scrap Journey is a favorite. I love her work. Linda's Works of the Heart is also one that has absolutely beautiful creations. Butlers Abroad is another favorite. Brenda's work with colored pencils amazes me. I'm just not good with those colorful pencils. I love seeing good photos, but more than that I am in love with the creations. I like knowing the names of tools and items used to create something, though I'm bad at linking. I enjoy the stories in the blogs sure makes the world a smaller and friendlier place. I limit myself to 1/2 hour a day of blog surfing. If I don't, I'm going from one to another and getting nothing else done. BTW.. thanks for keeping me moving forward! Off I go, have a creative day.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024885306802973106noreply@blogger.com
