Days after the “Big Blogger Breakdown”, The Stampin’ Schach is still having issues…including loading slowly. I am still in the process of making some changes to see if I can help the problem. If I can’t, I will need to turn to the experts. So hang in there with me!
Paper Players Challenge Extended
Due to Blogger problems, The Paper Players will be extending our color challenge until this Friday, May 20th. This month we selected a trio of popular colors which would be super for creating masculine cards: Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy and Early Espresso. If you don’t have these colors, feel free to substitute with a similar hue.
Paper Players Design Team Call
Summer is quickly approaching and The Paper Players need two more Design Team members for our June, July and August challenges. We are inviting you to apply for one of these two positions, which last for three months (June, July and August). Anyone is welcome to apply, but you must be willing to comment on submissions for each challenge and you must use Stampin’ Up! products for your creations! So come on…send an email to thepaperplayers@yahoo.ca and include your name, blog address, and three projects you have created by Monday, May 30th at 5:00 PM (PST). The two new Design Team members will be announced on Wednesday, June 1st.
Twin Talk
Muffy and Brody strutted their stuff at Le Mars, IA this weekend. As always, they prefer to tell you all about it in their own words.
Brody: Why so sad Muffy?
Muffy: Sigh…Mom is upset because of her Blogger problems.
Brody: What’s a blog, Muffy?
Muffy: It’s a…a..thing that Mom does on her ‘puter. I wish there was something I could do to help. I know what would make her happy! I can tell all of her stampin’ friends how wonderful I did this weekend.
Brody: What about me, Muffy? Didn’t I do wonderful?
Muffy: Well Brody, you did win your class both days. But who was Best of Breed Puppy? Hmmm? And who won second out of all of the Working Group Puppies? And who was Winners Female??? And who was Best of Opposites? Hmm?
Brody: Let me think. Was it that other really cute Boxer girl?
Muffy: You know who, Brody. Say it. Come on, say it! Say “Muffy is the most beautiful Boxer puppy in all the land!” If you don’t say it, I am going to smoosh your nose in even more! Grrrrr….
Me: Muffy Lin! Are you teasing your brother again?
Muffy: No, Mom!
So there you have it! A challenge continued, a Design Team call, and a Tail of Two Puppies! Coming up next, a Pals Paper Arts Sneak Peek and a Bite of Blog Candy! Until next time…
Ann,
Sounds like you need to run to Hobby Lobby and get some shadowboxes to display all those ribbons your babies have won.
Hugs my friend. I hope Blogger is behaving a bit better for ya.
Hope the Blogger woes are a thing of the past, Ann! I was glad to see The Paper Players challenge extended since it meant I got to play along for a change. Whoo hoo! 🙂
Congrats to Muffy for her continued excellence and to Brody for his steady progress. Like another poster said, I think you’ll have to create an award room for all their ribbons and trophies! 🙂
You always make my day, Ann. Sorry about the blog problems. Hang in there! Kathy in AZ
I see the twins are up to their old tricks of winning ribbons. Congrats to both. Love the pictures!!
actually, your blog has always loaded slowly for me, even before the blogger breakdown. Seems your header takes the longest to load though. Perhaps you should look at the template you are using.
Technology is great when it works. Congratulations to the puppies. Their hard work is paying off. Just to let you know that your blog was not too bad in loading time.
Congrats to you both, Muffy and Brody, for your successful week-end!! Just snuggle up close to Mom, lay your head in her lap and look up at her with those big adoring brown puppy eyes, that will cheer her up!! Didn’t you say you would be celebrating a belated Mother’s Day with Brady this past week-end, Ann? If so, hope you had a marvelous time. We will impatiently, I mean, patiently wait for Blogger to cooperate! Keep smilin’!
When I load your blog it comes in fine.
Congratulations to Muffy!!! Brody you did well too.
I’ve missed having a furry friend but I’m going to have a furry grandbaby. One of our daughters is adopting a Lab puppy the end of this month and I’ll get to see it pretty often.
Oh those babies have the cutest faces!
I have to say I never have trouble loading your blog……interesting….although yesterday I had no mouse and today I have no internet at all….I am at work 🙂 grrrrr as Brody might say…….Muffy would just sweet talk a computer guy to come to my house and fix everythign\ng!
Wow Muffy! Congratulations on all your awards. WOOHOO Brody! WOOHOO! WOOFHOOF! Way to go Brody. Isn’t he cute – sigh, woof woof! :)))))) Thanks for making me happy today! Shari keeps telling me that I’m too old for you Brody – but can still swoon from afar! :))))
Such handsome “children” you have, Ann. Everyone is having problems with Blogger right now. Hang in there!
Congratulations Muffy & Brody! You are the best Boxer twins.
Having twins and the tales (or is it tails?) that ensue! Congrats to both. Hopefully Blogger will get its act together soon.
p.s. I would LOVE to see the insight Muffy and Brody have into this Blogger Bulldog Shitsu stuff!
Hi Ann – God is calling on our test of patience! PSN went down, and it’s blogging site is blogger…I believe it is all connected. It is coming back, but slowly. I personally don’t recommend making switches because the same thing happened to feedblitz last summer, if you recall. For me (and my blog) it has been a search and rescue with God and a “aha”! OK God, sit back, have a tea, and give it up. I am the artist and YOU are in charge of the technicians!!! p.s. I loved the world when we had selectric typewriters, so this approach is not too hard for ME to take…not being preachy here…but rather not the type of person to fight with the salmon going upstream (for long!!) In this instant world…time to go out in the woods with our walking sticks! See you out there… xox Samara
Love the pictures of the twins and their dialog. Congrats to both of them.
It is so frustrating when the computer doesn’t do what you want it too. Hope your blogger problems are over soon.
Those twins are too darn cute! And I wish I could apply for Paper Players, but with my family issues I have all I can handle right now. Maybe in the future!
Ann hope your blogger wows are not long lived. I know “nothing” about the behind scenes of these things. Thanks to my sweet upline Nance, I don’t have to figure it out either. I’d lost to say the least. Which is the opposite of what the twins did. Wow… soon you’ll need a room for all those ribbons! Hugs.
Yay!!!! to Muffy and Brody. Such adorable pics of the Twins. Thanks so much for sharing the news. The furbabies here give wags to the Twins.
Yvonne
Congrats to the pups!
I had a little trouble with blogger, also, the last time I posted.
Hi Ann! I waited patiently for your blog to load because I KNEW there would be cute photos of the twins! I was NOT disappointed! They had a good weekend, eh?
You just reminded me to post updates to my bog, too..if Blogger will cooperate…Eeek! 🙂
