Hi Everybody,
I have had to change the settings on my blog for comments and there is very little choice with Blogger. This is to stop the dirty comments that are being left and at the moment it seems to be working. I have had to make the comments accessible to people with Google Accounts.
As I said before these messages are not aimed at me personally but they are not very pleasant to read and so that was the only way I could do it. It may cause some inconvenience to some of you though and for that I am very sorry. If you know of another way I can stop the rude messages but allow genuine people to comment then please, please let me know.
For the next few weeks I am going to be giving away complete box kits that will consist of a magazine, beautiful papers to compliment your designs, stamps, dies and embossing folders.
So the whole works in one box to help you make some lovely projects.
So if you think that you would like this box kit then all you have to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME.
I say this nearly every week but still people are leaving comments with just their nick names and if that is the case then your entry will not be included.
Good Luck everybody
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
