Fun on Fursday...

Firstly, Hello to all new visitors, especially if you have dropped by from Shimelle's BFS forum!  Glad to have you here, please take a look around, feel free to read and explore any posts you fancy; I love to read people's comments, so don't be shy - tell me what you think!

Okay, so today the BFS prompt was about having a regular slot on your blog, where you post about a particular topic/subject.  I'm not sure I'm into this idea really, but I thought I might have a try....

So here is the first of what might become a regular feature, if I feel like it...

Fun on Fursday

(well, I can't spell it with a "Th" or it wouldn't look right and "Thun" is a Non-Word!

and no, it has nothing to do with furry creatures - well, not today anyway...)

To kick off... Try following this link, to Hopeitrains' blog.  This is quite possibly the most hilarious blog post on the whole internet.  I stumbled upon it from my LizzieMade page on Facebook; it is the blog of the owner of a business called FionaT, which I follow on my page. 

If you don't agree that this is Fun, then I won't bother with any more... but if you like it, leave me a comment and I'll look out for something to post about next week!

Video First!

Hello All Blog Friends - old and new! 

Welcome if you've just come to visit my blog for the first time!  I'm joining in Blogging for Scrapbookers for the second time round; I've been a bit pushed for time in the last couple of weeks - preparing for the Workshop I taught on Saturday, visiting a new baby niece, making books...making other books!

Today I thought I would try and join in with the BFS prompt; I'm glad I did as this is something I haven't done before (must have missed it last time, though I did recognise the pictures in the prompt...hmm..)

Anyway, I don't think I have ever posted a You-Tube video before... so I found one I really like and here it is:



This is the first of a series of Simon's Cat films on You Tube.  He posted this one about 3 years ago.  Since then, Simon's Cat has become something of a phenomenon.  He had amazing success with this film, so posted several more, then produced a book of Simon's Cat drawings... more videos, a second book... It's gone from strength to strength; but I'm not surprised, because these are very funny and he's really caught a cat's behaviour so well. 

Hope you loved this as much as we do here in our house.  If you search for "Simons Cat" on You Tube, you'll find several more!

A Few of My Favourite Posts!

Today I thought I'd join in with the new Blogging For Scrapbookers prompt.  I've been working hard on the course notes, for the Sock-Pet making workshop I'm teaching on Saturday, but my niece is in the hospital, having her baby (slow going but all ok), I've been up since very early because DS has gone on a school trip today (7:30am at the school... yawn...) and I have the fidgets; I need to Do Something Nice!!! So I'm writing a blog post - yeah!

Shimelle invited us to post about some Favourite Things.  I thought about the notes she wrote and decided to do something slightly different, but which I hope is still in the "spirit of BFS"!

The list below is all links to posts on My Blog.  However, almost all of these reference other Blogs and/or other places on the Web, where you can go and see all sorts of interesting things, read other fab blog posts, meet other bloggers or artists... They hop around all over the place, from very recent posts, to some I posted at the start of my blog (November 2009, on BFS!).  My 100th post is featured there somewhere too (the Sock Pets one).

So why not start with the one that you fancy and have a read or two?  Some of the posts are quite long, I will warn you - so maybe you'll come back another time, if you don't have time for all those you would like to look at?

I don't expect you to read all of these and I won't be offended if you don't read any at all - I chose these because they are among my own Favourite Posts and all include some of my own Favourite Things, in whatever form!

and Last Year's Day 3 BFS Post about Favourite Things!

And of course, another way to find out about my Favourites, is to look in the sidebars of my Blog.  There's a list of some of my favourite blogs from the original BFS (but which probably needs updating now!) - that's on the left.  On the right are lists of Clever Things I've found on other blogs, also Recipes I think others might like, from my blog and other people's. 

Have fun!
