What the Heck!
The other day I received an email from my daughter who is an author at my blog@blogger telling her that MY blog was thought to be a spammer blog. their little “robots” were doing their job? HUH??? Excuse me but do you think that they would contact the OWNER of the blog? OH NO! That would be too hard to do.
I have this notice on my blog where you create your posts:
This blog has been locked by Blogger’s spam-prevention robots. You will not be able to publish your posts.
Blogger’s spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. (What’s a spam blog?) Since you’re an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.
We received your unlock request on August 1, 2008. On behalf of the robots, we apologize for locking your non-spam blog. Please be patient while we take a look at your blog and verify that it is not spam.
Ok so this happened at 4:30 PM in the afternoon on the 31st of July and i acted immediately and they tell me they received my notice on the 1st of Aug? Are they kidding me??? They don’t even have the right date unless they are located in Tim-Buck-Two!
So now I am waiting not so patiently for them to figure out how to unlock my blog. I went to their so called help blogger and see that there are many more that this has happened to. Hey I am all for ridding spammers but is my blog a spam? I don’t think so. I prefer blogger because I am used to it and I don’t want to redo my blog. But WordPress makes it so easy to import your blog. HA HA!
So maybe if I can con my daughter into fixing this one up and making it all pretty again and putting all my links and pics back on the sides then I just might stay here. We shall see how long it takes for blogger to have their little mechanical robots undo their stupidity.

Start of a new year!
Can you imagine that it’s already 2008! I remember when my son and I sat in our living room on Dec. 31, 1999 only moments from the strike of midnight and held our breath because of all the hype about Y2K. Well here we are!! My computer was so old at the time and was not Y2K ready but I managed to get it going by setting the date back at sometime in the 60′s so it would work. LOL!
I made this 4×4 in celebration of the New Year! I don’t get to play to often because of so many commitments that I combined 3 of the challenges that have been set forth for us to try.
For Mixed Media Monday here is my creation for celebration, for Theme Thursday I added the flourish and for 4 x 4 Friday I used sequin waste as a stencil.
My image is from InkaStamps and the flourish and stickers are from K&Company. My little rhinestones do not sparkle in the scan but rest assure This Little Angel is ready to party!

This is a coffee stained tag that I played with this morning! I think he looks a little prim.
