Art 4 Heart

While I was off visiting Flossy-P, I read about Art 4 Heart.

Yet another remarkable way to help people affected by the Queensland floods - bid on one (or as many as you like, dear) artworks! It's really that simple!

So many brilliant artists, so many brilliant pieces to buy.

Happy! Happy 101

Flossy-P has tagged me with the Happy 101 meme. And of course I'll play (yikes, I have some others to play, I haven't forgotten happy taggers I am just ridiculously behind!).

The rules are pretty darn simple: Name ten things I like - 3-2-1 let's go!

• Baking and eating cakes and sweeties
• Wearing vintage
• Friends and family
• High fiving
• Snuggling with my snuggle bunnies
• Dreaming about travelling with our wee family
• My ugg(ly) boots
• Going through old photos
• Receiving surprises in the mail
• Reading about Jack the Ripper (yeah I know, I am a weirdo)

And ten merry bloggers to play along:

• Mogantosh
• Rummey Bears
• Two Tuesdays
• Little Pinwheel
• Che and Fidel
• Knot Sew Crafty
• Her Heart My Hands
• Hugo & Elsa
• Leni & Rose
• The Byron Life
  

Go hard or go home.

Auf Weidersehen Blogtoberfast - Danke Big Cat

Boo! Probably gave you a fright, huh? Yes, well it is Halloween and that's the extent of my involvement. Boogedy Boogedy BOO!

So Blogtoberfest is drawing to a close today. Big thanks to Big Cat the brainchild and the hostess, without her, there would be no Blogtoberfest - and wouldn't that have left the world a cold, dark and thoroughly un-bloggy place. Yes. It's been a challenge, but I'm glad I took BC up on the offer - thanks for letting me play!

And thanks to Curlypops, the Adriana Xenides of Blogtoberfest. Without her, there would have been no reliable way of gambling your modem speed away by entering as many competitions as possible.

Thanks also to Flossy-P, the creative genius behind the logo (see it over there - last days, click it while you still can!).

Of course - who could forget BellGirl for her witty scoop of the weeks? Not me, that's for shizzle. She always made me giggle with her funny lil quotes - use them at your own peril.

And just while I have you here - Kootoyoo (it's her birthday today by the way) posted a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away a special community announcement. My friends, it pertains to email addresses, and linking your email address to your blog account. It really is super fabulous. I recommend you visit her, get the scoop and update your deets. It would make responding so much simpler. And we all love simpler, don't we?

Finally, in case you're wondering, I didn't visit my bin. We're kind of having a 'break'. Well I call it a break but the bin probably thinks it's over. But we all know who has got to sing before it's over, right?

Couldn't possibly leave you with no image, so here are two little saucers I scored the other day...

Pretty Things

A while ago (too long ago) I was lucky enough to win a giveaway over at Flossy-P. If you've never been to visit Flossy-P, go now. She's a super cool gal who creates beautiful illustrations. She's one clever cookie. If Flossy-P lived next door, I'd bake her cookies, pick her flowers, pat her cat. Instead she's hanging with her over-55 friends, and I'm hanging with my silver foxes. Makes me think of this. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you know, it'd be fun to hang with some contemporaries.

So Flossy-P bestowed on me such a cute prize. A Happy Happy Garden Card Pack (see the picture above) - five sweet cards for me to bestow on gardens around the 'hood that I deem worthy of loving (perfect for my walks, huh?). Cool idea, huh? And as a bonus, a great bookmark (which is timely, because I've been using bits of torn newspaper), and to top it all off - it was packaged up so nicely, I just didn't want to open it.

Anyway you can head over to Flossy-P's shop and get your own hit of Flossy-P goodness. Get it while it's hot, piping hot.

Merci, Flossy-P!

Get Out Your Lederhosen

It's Blogtoberfest! Head on over to Big Cat to read all the small print, but what it means for you, dear reader - I'll be posting every day for the month of October (and today - I am going for a land-speed record with three massive posts - whoa nelly!). Unfortunately I'm not a busty blonde handing out bier, but you know, I'll try my best to enchant you with the clunky sound of some German (I'll be reaching into my Year 8 memory for that).

Ich bin ein blogger hear me roar.

Anyway, Flossy-P has created an ace button to add to your blog if you're a player.. Head on over and pick up the details and give her a high five while you're there.

I'm already onto day two of Blogtoberfest, and to celebrate, here are some pics of everyone's favourite pseudo-German (!?) the Hoff.. He's German isn't he? Well, even if he isn't, we can pretend das ist goot.
