Quilted Birthday

Wow can you believe another year is almost over.  The rain has stopped here and that is cause for great Thanksgiving.  Also the drain behind our house worked great this time so we had no flooding in our yard which means our shed was saved from being flooded again.  Our pump is running almost constantly still the ground is one big sponge but the rain has stopped!!  I can't imagine how much snow we would have had if that was would have been snow and not rain.  My daughter and son in law had to spend one extra day with his parents since the weather was so bad yesterday, they are hoping to head to North Carolina today.

I forgot to share the card I made for my friend to go with the place mats I made for her birthday,  I wanted to do a quilted look, the stitching is all pen work, no real stitching on the card.

Taylored Expressions -- Hexagons dies with Faux stitching
K&co. -- Classic K paper
Spellbinders-- Rose Creations and Back to basics tags dies
Hero Arts -- All Occasions messages sentiment stamp
BasicGrey -- Brad
Gem on tag

I hope your week is off to a wonderful start, Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

Connie

I thought I would share the following with you just in case you don't have a google account and still want to follow my blog:

An update on Google Friend Connect

Posted: December 21, 2015

  

In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.

As part of this plan, starting the week of January 11, we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we’ll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.

We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.

We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers.
