Just a Reminder!!!!!

                                   ARTFULLY OOGLEBLOOPS has moved!!!!

Please come on over to the other side !!!LOL

Easier posting, uploading photos, and most important of all - EASIER for you to leave COMMENTS- with no captcha, jumping hoops, or other annoyances that people seemed to find here.

Pretty new layout, several blog posts already, and some new topics coming up.

I love you all -it took a long time to find you all,  and I hope you will come follow me.....

A Little Feedback.......

After several years of writing blogs, I am continually trying to expand my readership..........any advice?

I link each post to Networked Blogs, twitter, Facebook, Google,Linkedin and where ever else I can think of. I email friends who have asked to be alerted of new posts ( I don't browbeat for readership!!LOL)

 I visit and comment on other people's blogs. All very time consuming (and very enjoyable)- and all this is beyond just writing each blog post and putting up all the photos. Sometimes the networking takes up more time than the actual blog post!!!

The readership stats are not where I would like them to be, nor are the comments. I love my followers and am very thankful the number has risen to to where it is. Thank you all for following me - and I am trying to follow you all back, and visit as often as I can.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!! Writing and putting it out there, is all about getting our thoughts out there, and the feedback, whether it be in the numbers graph, or actual comments. We writers are a needy bunch, and "need" to know we are loved (or  READ!!!) LOL

I strive to be, at the very least, somewhat entertaining; from time to time educational and/or mildly amusing; and maybe, even sometimes, reach the heights of enlightening some days!!!LOL

                                                    So, whaddya think....??????????

Don't Forget.....................

............to visit my new blog. 

                It's short, sweet, and daily.

                      Please become a follower!! Nothing would make me happier!

Pay it Forward!!!!

During my blog surfing one day, I came across the phrase, "Pay it forward"
This piqued my interest, so I clicked on the blog and read further. The blog is My Quilted Nest
She was the recipient of a 'pay it forward' gift, and was now paying it forward. I signed up, (who could resist?), and now I am paying it forward. I have not received my goody in the mail - but I know it will come someday when I least expect it!!! It's also a great blog - you should drop in!!!

I "lifted" the explanation below from Quilted Nest, hope she doesn't mind.


" If you are unfamiliar with the process, it works like this: the first three people who comment on this post will receive something hand-made (and maybe a little something extra!) from me within the next 365 days. In turn, you promise to pay it forward and make something for three people who comment on your blog. It's way fun."

I may change the time frame a little- in 365 days, I would forget who gets what - so I will make it 3 months. With no distractions on my end, the commentor may get their gift alot sooner!!! All goodies will be different - and right now I have no clue what they will be!!!

Remember, it is limited to the 1st THREE people who leave a comment and are bloggers and followers, or are bloggers and become a follower.............then you must promise to pay it forward on your blog.

Ready, set, GO!!!!!!!

Aaaaw, Come On......................

..................49 followers- won't somebody make it 50?????? There's an apple in it for ya'!!!!

I'll send out an apple pincushion to whoever becomes my 50th new follower (color and stem may differ from pic - all apples are different!)
