Old Timey Award on Tuesday

A big thank you goes out to, Leigh who has graciously given me and my blog this award!
The rules for this award are as follows:
1. thank and link back to the person that gave you the award. (check)
2. share 7 things about yourself. (need more coffee to wake up first) AND check
3. pass the award to 7 fellow bloggers that inspire you. (giving this thought as I begin my blog walk)...stay tuned. (working on it, got interrupted...more later
4. let them know about the award.

1. I wish there were a few dozen less barking, howling, yipping dogs in my neighborhood and or that their owners muzzled them. Sooooooo tired of them waking me up
2. 
   
3. I wish I could figure out how to multi-task so I could knit/crochet while doing other things. I do currently knit/crochet while I read blogs; put it down to type when I've got something small enough to keep on my lap without getting tangled in the keyboard etc.
4. 
   
5. I'm all jazzed about making plarn, after reading about it yesterday on line. (for my non yarny type blog buddies, plarn is making yarn or a substance to knit or crochet with using plastic bags).
6. 
   
7. I've recently joined The Hive (button and link in side bar) to find more helpers for the homeless for Bridge and Beyond, which is a facebook type forum for creative crafters. Crafters of all types, not just those related to yarn/fiber.
8. 
   
9. I'm nervous about my next trip, which will be to Mexico. My first trip out of the country (excluding Canada). Seeing things on the news has me on edge.
10. 
    
11. I wish people with means would help those without.
12. 
    
13. I wish I were more techy, love to learn how to do new things here on the computer.

Numbering is all screwy, some see numbers as they're suppose to using the number thing in tool bar, some don't, tried to delete them and do manual, it won't let me do that. So, because I thought it hard to read, added space between. This edit added day later, as I attempt to correct and finish this post. Sorry for the weirdness here folks. Typing in red done today 8-11
***coffee in hand, here we go**Can someone tell me whether or not you're seeing the numbers 1-7 with my list of 7 things about me? I see them here in edit mode while typing; but not when I look at the blog. Likewise I don't see numbers on the linky thing in my previous post. Do you, please take a look and let me know. If you're not seeing them, any ideas why? And, if you are, why don't I? I use Moz FF, but have also check using a 2nd browser Internet Explorer. Doesn't seem to matter. I do see number 1-4 in the directions/rules portion of this post which was a cut and paste from Leigh's blog.

****Flat Stanley wonders why people didn't visit his friend Captain Pinney.

clicking on the numbers and or bullets doesn't seem to work, so numbering by hand, let me know if these are showing up.
1. Marg's Pets
2. Modern Historian
3. Chicago History Journal
4. JuneZach on Fledgling Blogger
5. Brenda, lots of giveaways to get in on
6. Virtual Dime Museum

Traveling in the Blogsphere

As we travel around the blogsphere we don't need to pack, or wear special clothes, and it doesn't cost anything. It's free. I enjoy it and if you're here; apparently you do to. I meet new people, learn new things, and read about interesting things. This past weekend as I was out blog walking in the Blogsphere this is one of the adventures I came across. Read below the rules. You'll note this badge is in my sidebar and is clickable as well as here in the post. I'm new to meme traveling and am not sure why the linky isn't showing up here when I entered the code. But you can click
and get where you need to in order to sign up. I did visit everyone and enjoyed my time doing so.

Here is the 411 on the Weekend Comment Club

Make sure you have time for the commitment.

Do not sign up just to sign up.

Once you sign up you will need to comment the other participants.

If we get more than 20 participants, you can stop commenting at 20 or comment as many more as you would like to comment.

You have through Monday to comment the others.

You may want to check back each day to see who has recently joined.

How to join.

1. Sign up on the linky below.
2. Link us to your site or to a post that you would like to share and IS NOT A GIVEAWAY.
3. You do not have to write a special post to participate.
4. Visit the other participants.
5. When you visit and comment, be sure to mention that you are visiting from the Comment Club. This is how they will know to comment you back!

Have fun.

Earlier in the week I signed up for Harriett's August Comment Challenge. She challenges us to leave 1,000 comments during the month of August. Most who've signed up have said they don't know if they can honestly do it; but are willing to try. That seems reasonable. So, that's my approach too. Here's the badge; but you'll also find it in my sidebar.



You can sign up for this blog traveling too. You might need to pack a lunch for this one and take along a bottle of water, cause that's lots of walking and talking folks; but a great way to meet some new folks. Enjoy





The linky for this is also on the bottom of my blog where it will be more accessible once this blog post moves down.

So I encourage you to get out, do some traveling, pack light and have a good time.
