Merry Christmas

When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow.
We hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago,
And etched on vacant places
Are half-forgotten faces
Of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox


Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful Holiday and a
Happy New Year!

Thanks a bunch to everyone. I got lots of mails with all kinds of suggestions, but I couldn’t change that nasty blue link colour. Just horrible!

Today I got an email from my dear friend Beckie. She asked me: 

Did you paste some pre-formatted text with links somewhere on your Blog recently?  Yes I did!

Somehow my Blog code picked up these codes and carried them throughout my Blog. I deleted that post and now my links have the same colour as before! Hooray that’s it! Doing a happy dance.

The only disadvantage is… all 46 comments to this post are deleted as well.

Beckie thanks a million for this helpful advice!!!!!

I NEED YOUR HELP

Since yesterday, I have some trouble with my Blog. I don't know what's going on, all links are suddenly blue. I can change all Blog colors, except for the link color. I tried anything, but I can't change that nasty blue. If anyone knows a way how to modify the link color, PLEASE let me know!!!
Here are some more details:

The problem is:

• The changes can be implemented in my HTML script, but when I apply “preview”, there is no change for the link-colours!
• When I make changes e.g. for the simple text, it does work! But in particular for the “link-colour” there are no changes.
• I suggest the problem is a little “deeper”, possibly related to some “freezing” functionality of the CSS- or Widgets- parts of my HTML. Looks “protected…” (?)
• I tested it on several PCs with several browsers- same (negative) results.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone for all the very kind suggestions and lovely comments. I can hardly tell you how much I needed those encouraging words. Thanks for motivating me! Now I’m looking forward to creating new things. I’m behind on some projects; particularly email responses and Blog reading…but these are the daily challenges, isn’t it :-)

What are you doing?

Autumn is around the corner, and I miss summer already. Right now it's a gorgeous September day outside. The sky is endless blue and the leaves are changing the colors. Very inspiring indeed.

But I can't be bothered to do something creative. I need a kick as I've been in a major slump!

What’s going on in the blogging world? What are your plans? What are you up to? Please let me know something about your thoughts!

Steam Punk Insect Collector

My dearest friend Anitra Williams from Cute Art World made this gorgeous card. She is a magical artist and her digital creations are spectacular. Her art takes my breath away. Isn't it wonderful how she included the pics of my insect collectors' boxes in her artwork? I really LOVE this Steam Punk card. You can purchase this ACEO CARD ATC here.
Go ahead and check out her fabulous Blog!
