Happy Birthday, Rylan!

My great nephew, Rylan, is two tomorrow, but his birthday card isn't moving very fast with the mail strike.

Solution to Google Comment Posting Problem

I've been having so much trouble lately posting comments on Google blogs and I'm very frustrated.  However, I went searching for an answer and I found what we in Information Technology call a "work-around".  (Well, when I worked in IT in the Dark Ages this is what we called it, anyway).

The Problem:  When I leave a comment, I select "Google Account", and there doesn't seem to be another option to pick that works for me (i.e. I don't belong to any of the other accounts).   At that point is where the problem starts; when I'm asked to log into my Google account I seem to go in an ever ending loop of logging in.

The work-around:  Uncheck the "Remember Me" box in the log-in screen.  It worked for me!

Swap Cards for the Stamp Club

Who doesn't need birthday cards for the men in their lives?

I made these for the swap at the local stamp club, using Tim Holtz and Inkadinkado stamps.  That's a gold peel-off running down the right side for balance.  The card opens up a little bit differently than a traditional card; I think that's what I like best about it!

Guess what?  Another Rubbermoon stamp coloured with pencil crayons!  Must be my current kick.
