Julie -- good to see that you have your priorities right. "pay the bills first, feed the blog second!" Let's start to use that tagline around the blogosphere (if it isn't already trademarked!)... ;)
Hey Julie... Happy Birthday to the lovely Kim!! Love the sandcastle in the background ....I can imagine you doing beautiful things with images of sandcastles...so dreamy and full of whimsy.Have a lovely day...cheers Katherine

Julie,
So happy I visited Kim's site. The Old dog post 3/8 really hit a nerve, strummed a string....
Your card is absolutely lovely, of course. I went over and wished her a HB. As C.J. mentioned above, You ARE a good friend.

Lovely post! LOVE the pillows!!
Dear Julie,
So sorry that I'm late for this post but, I will send belated birthday wishes to Kim and hope that her special day was filled with wonderful suprises and fun.
I love the dogs on the beach. They really look as if they have been enjoying themselves. Do you think that they made those sandcastles ? !! XXXX
Julie ... your photos are just divine ... as always (I hope you dont tire of me telling you)!
I just popped over to Kims blog and beacause I also love anything Italian ... I was in heaven looking at all her fabulous craft.
You are one dear friend!
Hope everything is well with you and your blogging was dearly missed.
Have a great weekend.
Sending you hugs and xxxx
With dogs and cushions like that, this is girl I've gotta get to know! Also, any friend of yours etc....I'll pop over and say hello right now. Hope this week has been a good one for you -computer hassles notwithstanding.
We've just returned from a day at the Easter show. Oh my giddy aunt - the woodchoppers! I'd forgotten how utterly fantastic that sport is...okay, truthfully, I'd mainly forgotten how alluring the site of a man in a singlet swinging an axe with all his might can look. Okay...too much information, I need to go and have a Bex and a good lie down now. Meredy xo.
p.s. I wonder if woodchopping competitions have made it on to youTube? I'm so bad.
Missed you but no problem...we'll always be here when you get your plate cleared :) Carry on, dear Julie...you must be heading into the heavy-duty part of your work year, eh?
Dear Julie,
I just wanted to stop by to tell you that I am not forgotten you! But I was so busy the passed days!
Have a nice weekend my friend!
xx
