Sneaky…sneaky…sneaky!

What a morning I’ve had

and it just keeps getting better!

I made a new banner last night and worked on ‘tweaking’ it this morning.

Did you ever work on something until it finally was worse than when you started?

Pat at Back Porch Musings gave a tutorial but since I didn’t have Typepad, I was winging it from the start. But it was fun and a learning experience! And I think I’ll leave it alone…for now at least!

Sandy at Hob Nobbers has the first post up for the “Live your dream life now workshop”. So I have a new journal to start that today!

And last but not least….Laura has featured me on her blog, I’m So Vintage this morning! She didn’t even tell me what she was going to write so it was a total surprise! I am so honored and humbled by her sweet post! Thank you Laura for making me feel so special!

I love Mondays!

So what was sneaky? This post is my sneaky way to get you to visit Laura and say some more sweet things about me! heeheehee! (if you have any ‘dirt’ on me…just skip her blog today! lol)

I’ll sneak in something vintage and cute, too!

Love your new banner and who could have any dirt on you. They don't do they, cause if they do I have a private email they can send it to me to. You are the sweetest person I know in blogland, so who else would I want to feature first in my new series.
Hugs,
Laura

I visited with Laura, loved her feature about you! And thanks for the heads up about Downton Abbey, I would have missed it if you hadn't reminded us!! I loved the show last night, they started out with a bang! And I enjoyed watching the show about the real castle that came on before, all that history of the house. Didn't know that about King Tuts Tomb either!
Thanks,
Dorothy and (Ms. Wilma watched it too, of course)

Lovely to be featured. Making banners builds my character and I think I have enough character.

It is a wonderful time of year. All the Christmas things put away and time to put out the hearts and such. I've been thinking of making a valentine banner too. Have a lovely evening!
