Help Please

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
I seem to have a problem at the moment, and I am hoping that somebody will know what is going on and will be able to help me.
When I go onto other peoples blogs, and I want to pass on what is going on, say some yummy recipe or a craft tutorial or a challenge or something. I can go to the buttons at the bottom and I can get things onto google, twitter and linked in, but when I try and put them on my blog or on facebook, all I get is a quick flash and I can't put them on, and this makes me sad, as I feel like I am letting you all down.
Please has somebody got a solution to this problem.
Thank you all very much.
I hope that everyone has a really great week.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Thank You

Hi Everyone,
I want to apologise for being on the blog so little.
First I was in England where my father died and could hardly get on the net at all, and then when I got back here I have just been in a dark and lonely place and very depressed, but I am coming out of it now thanks to my really fantastic Husband Les.
I want to thank everyone for still coming onto my blog and for the wonderful comments, from you all that made me feel so loved and special.
Thank you all so much.
Now I must just get back to my crafting and getting things done and getting onto my blog etc. more often.
Once again thank you all for your love and your friendship.
I hope that you all have a fantastic day and weekend.
Love and best wishes.

Five Minute Friday - Lost

Well I am not to good at writing, but am going to try this any way.
Lost.
Lost can mean so many things to so many people, but I know that there are lots of people at the meoment that are lost in a dark place in their own minds and feeling alone and fragile and as though they cannot go on. Do not give up, ones mind is a very powerful thing and you must just start thinking positive thoughts, and you will find that you are no longer lost but ready to carry on fighting the world and taking your place and being the wonderful strong person that you are destined to be. I know what it is like, a very little time ago I was lost, I did not want to go on, the world was a black and hostile place. My mother died about two years ago, and then my father died on 31 January this year. I felt that I had no one to turn to and I felt so lost and alone. Luckily I have the most wonderful husband and he soon got me on the right track and i am now ready to face the world and to try and help others as well as being myself and doing my things.
Getting lost can also mean that you are out walking and or driving, and you really don't know where you are, you then if you have been sensible either get your Tom Tom or whatever divice you have to tell you how to get where you are going or you get the map out and find yourself.
Sometimes Hubby and I enjoy just getting into the car and going sort of wherever it takes us or the feeling takes, and quite often we get to see some really interesting places that we would not have seen if we planned everything, and if it is time to come back, we just press home on the Tom Tom and it takes us home,very often a different way from that we came and so we get to see a lot more.
Well my five minutes is almost up, and I hope that everyone that is lost is found, and that everyone has a fantastic day.

We are now back home, and hopefully things will now get back to normal, and i should be on more aften and maybe even find time to do some crafting.
I want to send everyone lots of love and great big hugs all round.
I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend.

Moaning Minnie about Flight Centre

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are all well and having a great week so far.
Well my week started of very badly and I am going to have a public moan.
We were in The Long Beach Mall Yesterday and needed to book our tickets to England to see my Dad, who is very ill.
We went to Flight Centre where everything started of very well and he did the prebooking, and we then went to the bank and got a cheque, which we then gave to the Gentleman, he told us that it would take twenty minutes for the ticket to generate, so we went and did our shopping and then went back and were told no it had not gone through yet, so we were beginning to get cross, but we went and had a cup of tea and took our time about it, and then went back to be told no it still was not through, so now very angry we went home. My brother then phoned to say that he had got a ticket and it had taken him twenty minutes flat.  We were then incredibly angry and wrote a stinking email to flight centre head quarters.
We went in this morning still incredibly cross and not having had much sleep, to demand our ticket, to have a lady who was working there say to us in a crossish voice what do you want, so I demanded my ticket or my money back immediately, at which time she seemed to be reluctant, but sat down and printed out our tickets for us.
We were not treated well, and they do not seem to care for there customers, so all I can say if anyone is thinking of dealing with Flight Centre, then don't, either book your tickets on line straight from the airlines, or else go to a travel agent that you know is good.
Needless to say I will never be going back there.
Thank you all.
I Hope that you all have a wonderful day.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Five minute Friday

Hi Everyone,
I have found something new, and am going to give it a try. I don't know what I am going to write or if I am to late to enter, but it is a nice word, and It can't do any of us any harm to think about it.
I don't know if I can write for five minutes, but Let us give it a try.
The word is Encouragement.
What a wonderful word.
Encouragement is in a way giving people love, it is persuading them in a very nice way that they can do something.
Like I was about to give up colouring and making cards, when I was given a top three spot in a challenge I entered, and that was so encouraging that I am now swimming with idea's and ready to carry on. I am not a very good drawer, but there are so many wonderfully talented people out there, producing the most fantastic, rubber and digi stamps, that any one who puts there mind to it, can colour and make card's. In fact to make cards you don't even need stamps and colouring, you can make cards from virtually anything, and a bit of imagination, and we all have imagination, whether we like to admit it or not.
In Fact I would say that writer's should make very good card maker's, as you cannot write if you have no imagination, and if you can imagine something, you can usually make it.
So come on all you writer's I am sure that if you take a bit of time out, you can make the most beautiful cards for your friends and family and save yourself a fortune.
So I encourage you all to try.
And I want to thank you all for this, as this has encouraged me to write, and given me some idea's for cards, so thank you all for the encouragement.
And that I am afraid is it, as I dyslexic I type very slowly and my five minutes is up.
I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Ask Away Friday with Carissa

Hi Everyone,
Sorry i am very late with these, but Carissa is an absolutely brilliant person and I hate letting people down.
Everyone must please forgive me if I am not around as much but my father is very ill in England and we are dashing around trying to get air tickets and visa's etc, so that we can go and see him, takingall my time at the moment it seems.
Well I really enjoy
Ask Away Friday, and will try not to miss any, even though my internet access is going to be limited there.
As I said I am teaming up with Carissa this week and to see how she answers my questions you can go to:
http://www.thegreeneyedladyblog.com, her blog is well worth visiting anyway.
Well her goes a very good set of questions from Carissa.
1)    It's date night and it's your turn to plan ... what do you plan?
       Well we both prefer to be at home, so as we have a small flat, I would send him out for the day, and cook him up a smack up gourmet meal, and then take out his favorite musicals and we would have a romantic dinner for two and then watch at home movies.After that I leave to your imaginations.
2)    How did you get into blogging?
       Well that was simple, we had not got the business on it's feet yet and I was bored and going into my email, when I saw blogger, and Les was standing behind said why don't you try, So I thought why not, it will be somewhere, where I can show the work I am doing, and if I get good enough, I can start another one for the business.
3)    I see you are very into crafts and DIY projects, which one is your favorite and why?
       At the moment my favorite thing is doing stamping and colouring the stamp and then making it mainly into cards at the moment. Here is my latest one.
4)    What is your favorite part of blogging?
My favorite part of blogging is all the fantastic poeple that I meet and make friends with.
5)    You participate in a lot of blog hops, which one is your favorite and why?
Wow what a good question. I have not really thought about it, I don't think I really have a favorite, I find them all wonderful and the people that you get to meet are wonderful to.
6)    What are your favorite blog's to read?
Well I love the food one's because they are teaching me lot's of new recipes, and hubby and I now compete to see how many recipes we can use each week for something we have never made before. I love the crafty ones because I am always learning new things from them. I love those that teach me more about blogging, because I know nothing. And then there are those that give you love and encouragement, and I need a lot of that at the moment.
7)    Where do you find inspiration for your blog?
I find inspiration all over the place, sometimes I am just looking out of my window, and see the baby ducks, and it will give me an idea to go and make a card or find a stencil or, may be I will just feel like giving everyone some love and I will just write a post. It all depends, somtimes I get idea's or inspiration by visiting other blogs.
8)    What is your favorite thing to do since your retired?
Well mainly I am making Stencils and wooden cut out's for the Company, and when I don't do that I love either sitting with Les and a nice glass of wine and a good movie, or doing some crafting.
9)    What are your blogging goals for the year?
I guess I have not made any as yet, as at the beginning of january my father became very ill and I have been concentrating on that more then anything else. I would not mind, maybe being able to sell some of my company stuff, through my blog, but I don't want to loose all my friends, and may be get fifty to a hundred followers.
10)    Does your husband read your blog?
Well not unless I ask him to read something, or else he may read it qwhen he does computing late at night and I am in bed.
Well thank you Carissa for some stunning questions. I look forward to reading your answers too mine.
I wish everyone a really fantastic day and weekend.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Well she is a great Lady and has asked me some wonderful questions, so let's get on with it, this is going to be great fun.
1)   Your blog states you have many hobbies - which is your favorite?
       I would have to say at the moment my favorite is colouring either Digi stamps or rubber stamps and making the colourings into cards.
2)    I know that you love to read. What was the best book that you read in 2013?
       The best book I read in 2013 was The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, an old book that I went back to and enjoyed even more this time round. It is the story of Camelot, but told by the woman involved and from their point of view, a really stunning book.
3)    You are stranded on a desert Island for a month. Not including people what three things would you want with you?
       Well I guess the first thing would be a knife, so that I can open up shellfish and gut fish etc.
        The second thing would be some sunblock, I burn very easily and nastily.
       The third thing would be matches, not very good at starting fires to cook with sticks, never quite got the nack of it.
4)    Your blog states that you love to cook - what is your favorite dish to make?
        I would have to say my Macaroni Cheese, every body woolfs it down and that always makes a cook feel real good.
5)     Being in the middle of my working life, I am a little jealous of your retirement! :) What would you say is the best thing about being retired?
       I would say the best thing is that even though we are running our own Company, you can just leave things and go if you have to, like now, where we are here in South Africa, and my father is very ill in England, as soon as we can get a flight, we can just pack up and go to be with him. Most of our customers understand that production is going to stop for a while, while wedeal with my fathers illness.People in the main are really wonderful and caring.
6)  You love doing a lot of great crafting and DIY projects. How did you become involved in crafting?
     Well both my Grand mother and my mother did crafting, so I guess I just joined the clan, I can remember starting to put all my favorite things in a scrap book from about the age of three, and then went on to knitting and crochet and sewing, and well, I just kept on trying to learn more. I think that if you stop learning in life, then you are dead, and I am very far from dead, and still have a real lot to learn.
7)    You are a very happily married gal- What's your favorite trait of your husbands? And what is one trait that drives you crazy?
My favorite trait is that he is the most wonderful gentleman and will always put a lady first.( I must be very old fashioned.) The trait that drives me really crazy, is that there are days when he does not let me do any of the housework etc.He takes it all over and does not even let me help and that really drives me crazy as I love doing things with him.
8)    If you had to choose one cause that you are most passionate about, what would it be?
       Trying to stop the Abuse of women and children, especially Children.
9)    Would you rather have a day at the spa, a day shopping, or a day site seeing?
        A day Site seeing. That way I am more likely to learn more about the place I am in, and I would get to see more.
10)   Did you make any New Year's resolutions?
        No. But I did jot down some guide lines as to what I wanted to improve about myself during the year.
I want to try and be more organized, and therefore neater.
I want to show love to everyone, and hopefully get a whole load of love going around, I am so tired of meaness and pettiness, I want to try and be kind to everyone, even if they are trying to make me mad, we need more love in this world of hatred.
I want to thank Beth for sharing with me this week.
If you wish to read what I sent her then go to http://www.structureinanunstructuredlife.com/ .
Thank you all for popping in and reading this.
I wish you a wonderful day.
Love and best wishes.
