On blogger i always just add the pics straight from my desktop i didn't think you needed photobucket . Sorry i'm not much help.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong with blogger. I am trying to upload photos from photobucket onto my blog. I am using the bottom code like you do if you want to post them on here. It is uploading and then telling me once I press the done button they will be on blogger. I do this and then can't find them anywhere. Am I using the wrong code or am I not looking for them in the right place? If someone can help I'd be very grateful.

Right off to bed now and then caravan tomorrow so have a good weekend and lots of choccy.

Night all

I have put in my order with stampin today which lets just say was rather large and I did honestly need all those punches. And then on Rainmac's advice I visited the Joanna Sheen shop to get a memento only skin tone promarkers, acrylic block, tape and 4 bottles of stickles also jumped into my basket.

Now I have been good because even though I really need a scorpal I am going to make do without even though Choccy has now pointed out a pink one. And I've not ordered that gorgeous Princess Tilda even with free postage.

The elves are banned until further notice and please ignore the New Year I honestly haven't lost it like Lyndach, think hubby would if he knew what I'd spent today!

Glittermum - thanks!!!! Have a great time in Wales, hope you get some sunshine.

Thanks for the 'Welcome Home' everybody!!! I slept yesterday at 3.30am and woke at 3pm today, I've never felt as tired!!! Now still awake at 1.47am!!

craftygranny - I've just read Alicia's story, what a brave little girl she is. I hope that the treatment works for her and that she can start living her life without having to worry about treatment etc. It's great to see the level of support from everyone.

hogshead - what a beautiful card. Welcome, this is a very friendly thread, the ladies here are lovely and very helpful!
JHB - I am scared to unpack the stash as it is a large suitcase full!!!! But when I do I will take several photos!!!
melissa75 - hope you enjoyed your fish and chips, I missed chips in the US, will need to get some here soon!!!

Mornin Ladies, its cold wet and miserable here in Doncaster, and I have to go market shopping :eek: Still. no cake shop today :j 3 days in a row is enough when I haven't worked for 4 months I'm sick of the smell of cake and bread, people come into the shop and say Oooo it smells gorgeous in here, and by the time you have everything in the fridges and on the shelves you are feeling sick! mind you it is only 8am and a bit early for fresh cream cakes lol closest I get to eating anything at work is a wholemeal scone (and my sandwich) and a coffee thats been so many times roun d the microwave you wonder what you are drinking!!
One of our customers baked my DH some scones the other day, (she brings them into the shop) so I made her a Hug in a Mug and she was thrilled, she said she had never seen anything like it, it was lovely

I'm hoping to do some cards later and a few challenges, I also need to do my MSE challenge card. The neares thing to crafting I have done this week is print and laminate new labels for the shop shelves!!

Must go and put the breadmaker on or we won't have any bread for lunch :rotfl::rotfl:

Ladies just want to say Hi :wave:

I nip in occasionally & love what a rapour you all have with one another. I am trying to get my mojo into gear & made a card that I'd like to share. Do you tend to post pics here or do you all keep blogs ( I don't have one )
Anyway I do hope to stop by & chat more rather than read & run.

Happy Easter to you all.

Absoloutely beautiful!!! so classy.

Welcome to the money spending thread:D Please do come and join in the chat, its always good to have someone to share ideas with and even just have a good old moan, we are a very friendly bunch. I cant wait to see more of your lovely cards x

Just showed Elisha your comments and your suggestion for a name and she's decided to go with your suggestion, so he's now officially called Horace! lol

Oh wow that's fantastic!!! I think all soft toys should have names and Elisha's monkey has got so much character Great news that your customer loves the boxes and that they are the easiest to make

Choccy, I have ordered Princess Tilda too, she is sooooo gorgeous and had sold out at the NEC. She'll be perfect for cards for lil girls, well big girls too I think

Flourgirl, I just can't imagine being sick of the aroma of bread and cakes, sounds like heaven to me! I'm going to make scones over the weekend to have a break from chocolate Not surprised the lady loved the Hug in a Mug, it's such a gorgeous gift

Mary, I love your descriptions of what you've been up to, would love to see your creations too x

We went to see the new film How To Train a Dragon yesterday and it was brilliant. Thoroughly recommend it for all ages Having a day doing errands today and then hopefully going to the safari park tomorrow, fingers crossed for the weather
