    I have been having terrible trouble with my blog, I would love a pretty template for it, but I just can't seem to get them to work properly, that is something I have planned. Thank you so much whoopi for the words of encouragement, I secretly was very pleased with my first attempt and so pleased that Poppy showed it to us all. I am going to make some more and put them away for Christmas. The bead shop that I mentioned in my blog is so cheap! I paid 15p for the 'handmade with love' charm and about 2p for the spacers. I did have some pandora type charms in my box of tricks. Let me know where you get your beads from and how many you order will you? I am not always able to get to town and would love some recommendations for good online bead shops that don't require you to spend a fortune.

          1. Finally, I've managed to make something! It's a covered post it note pad - I've posted it on my blog if anyone is interested in having a look. Nothing very fancy, but have decided to make it part of my Mum's mothers day pressie. I'm going to make a few in Christmas designs with Poinsettas etc for the girls that work with DH.

          3. Janey,
            To become a follower you need a google account, just sign up for blogspot and you get a google account automatically.
            A follower is registered on a blog as being a 'fan', someone who reads the blog often and finds it really useful, so much so they make it known to the author by 'following' them. Bookmarking them just means you have a shortcut on your computer to get to their page, but the author of the blog will not know you have done this.

            HTH :D
