Rather slow at blogging

Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what I am doing with blogging.  The last time I sent a few words into the ether was early in January.  Have I been productive in the intervening period?  Well, on and off Yes.  But who wants to read a wordy blog unless it is on some boring philosophical subject and, after all, I'm supposed to be a card maker.

Nothing is straightforward and my current difficulty is transferring pictures from my phone to my laptop in an effort to make this a little more interesting. My dear brother told me about Photosync which I managed to download on laptop and phone but the ethereal link between the two seems to escape me sadly.  Clicking on the photographic link in the menu I homed in on Picasa and selected a rather elderly picture to upload.  But, again, I am brought to a full stop as none of the passwords requested by Google are to their liking.  People blog every day so why am I finding all these difficulties?
 Must get to the bottom of it so that I can go on about the problems with glue and the edges of MDF.

Somehow or other I've managed to include a pic. after all.  This was a papier mache Easter egg (one of 2) that I made for my granddaughters.  It was large, slightly wobbly and the top and bottom didn't fit neatly hence the flowers cut on my die cutting machine which, when pop dotted, covered the divide.  My first foray into decoupage and really the photo as uploaded doesn't do my effort justice (she said modestly).  Of course I had to fill the egg WITH eggs and a fluffy kitten in each. I have to confess that the Kinder eggs included in both were far more popular than my masterpieces.  

Having managed to include one photo I've now negotiated another two.  The cock and hen were stamped with the excellent Clarity stamps and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.  Chicks very cheaply from Amazon.  Also for my granddaughters.  I thought the chicks were so sweet but not very storable - and I have a lot left!

Early April seems a long time ago now and in the intervening period my stocks of all sorts of materials has grown alarmingly.  Instead of struggling with a blog I should be utilising some of them shouldn't I?  But the Tour de France is on, of which I am a devotee, so that's all for now.
