How to change a look - a step by step guide

Well, after much consideration and thunking....well, okay it really was just by she/her/me that had be doing the consideration that thunking part...that I had decided that it be best to start this message on a pleasant tone.

So this is were I thunk I am going to try to figure out a way how to put on the 'Thought of the Day' and 'The Photo of the Day' titled tabs (which are located just above you right now onto this main Blogger page... are you confused yet..cause I sure am?

I know...what on earth is she/her/me going to do now?

And....guess what...not only does she/her/me not know what she/her/me is talking and mumbling about, and not only does she/her/me know what to do with it once she/her/me gets ahold of it,  but to that inevitably thingy that she/her/me starts to figure that possibly (and this is where the insert of the 'yeah...she/her/me know anything?') she/her/me has no idea if it can even be done!

Now, how does that sound....I know...so typical of she/her/me that you are already use to the silliness that goes on behind the scenes....and yes, she/her/me does work, well kinda...who wants to work in a Faerie Nursery? Now, come on...you do know that even you wouldn't be able to concentrate enough to get anything done.

Now, as you far as you can see, you'd think that I am full of poop, well let's not go there shall we.

Well this next project has taken she/her/me over 3 months to finish and yes, has she/her/me done that to give you even just a smidgen of hope ...to being ever so closely to be completed.

And, now you will ask....and?? and?? and??

No, I am not ready to unveil it right now and this is why she/her/me going to try to figure out (you know that I really meant that our guru will try to figure it out,,,and this where you plunk in the 'and remember this is where she/her/me...was the one who put the Mac OSx hard drive into the trash bin as she/her/me really didn't the ugly look of the icon....so she/he/me gives a massive thank you to her my son and the Apple smart guys) how to keep you entertained all the while she/her/me is really doing something that she/her/mer just might be doing that something productive behind this web page.

Now...let's see if I make a complete mess of this prior to call my guru...who will of course not only get frustrated but will try to give she/her/me instructions on who to do it...and then realizes that as in previous cases there is no point with this step.

The Weekend

Well, what a weekend this has been!

It was time to start getting the flower nursery ready for the long winter ahead of us and this of course is a sadder time for our wee faeries. As they watch the last of the sweet peas, snap dragons, cosmos and even the smaller of the sunflowers being brought into the nursery to keep them warm over our chillier nights. Don't get me wrong as the nursery smells amazing with 5 vases filled with the sweet peas but I must admit it is sad to start having to prune and weed for the one of the final times.

But on a high note, I found my very first 5 leaf clover!! I know hey. I have been collecting a few 4 leaf clovers in our nursery but this was a very special one for sure!

I have now started the newest tab titled The Photos! This tab will now show all of the postings that I have done through Instagram as I know that some of our readers do not use this program. As I still trying to figure out how to show when changes and/or additions have been made in the tabs on this blog I think that I will just do a quick follow-up on Fridays as a reminder?? Mind you, I did just find out that if you follow our Bloglovin page that it will send you a weekly (or more if you like I think....mine is weekly....I think) e-mail to let you that I have done some kind of changes to this page!!

I will start again as of today with the 'Thought of the Day' program. Mind you it was a good thing that I had a few that were ready to post as this whole running away from the nursery for almost a month has definitely took me off of trying to figure out what a daily schedule is...well except for getting breakfast ready and sitting out on a handmade stone patio overlooking a estuary that leads to the Pacific Ocean. I am missing my wee hummingbirds that came to visit, the birds singing while swaying on the cattails, the frogs croaking on the lily pads and well the sunshine! For myself this was a wonderful routine but being Faerie Amma there is just so much to do here in the nursery that I just feel like I am barely treading water.

As with anything, I will gradually get myself into a regular sort of mind to include everyone in this crazy and definitely noisy nursery. Noisy you ask? Well you try to gather the faeries that are trying to be out in the last few warmer days of autumn. If there was any such thing as reluctance well the faeries definitely have this as the top of the list! Mind you, I feel the same way for sure. It really is hard to have had to say goodbye to the 24 hour daylight before we left on our adventure and now to come back home to our short autumn already drawing to an end.   p.s. it did snow one day here at the nursery but I was on a beach collecting seashells!!

Accomplishments already done this weekend in-between nap times...I have now updated all of the photos on the website as there had been a few sales and bit of switching faeries from one e-commerce site to another. Of course, I have started the Instagram tab and well, unfortunately I still cannot find my work table. Hummmp as she turns around and says....tomorrow. tomorrow sounds like a better idea!!

Well, off to do the 'Thought of the Day'

The Disappearing Tan Lines

Sigh....well with every holiday to the land of sunshine eventually the tan starts to fade away but thankfully the memories are and will be still fresh in your mind.

I had a wonderful time on the sunshine coast and was able to take some pretty fabulous photos that I posted through Instagram, well I thought that they were pretty fabulous photos!

As promised, I will start back this week with the 'Thought of the Day' postings.

And, as promised, I will go back and create a new tab for the 'Photo of the ??'. I have no clue exactly what to call this new idea.

I do notice though that unless I post something through this regular front blog page that no one really knows when I update the other tabs. I find this very frustrating and I am quite disappointed in this part of the Blogger program. I am still trying to research how to either get around this dilemma or how to let you, the reader know that I am posting. If anyone out there knows how to do this...please, please, please either comment on this post or send me an email. Any help at this stage is much appreciated.

I also apologize for the lateness of the posting as I had hoped to do it as soon as we had arrived home, okay, well after I unpacked from a three week vacation, well after I had a nap that lasted almost 24 hours, and well after I finally made it the grocery store to get some food the house!

As well, there are so many things that I need to get accomplished kind of ASAP.

• I am trying to make sure that the website has all of the correct links to each faerie that is available for sale. 
• I need to post all 13 members of the Northern Line of Faeries. 
• I would really like to figure out how to zoom when I am using the Instagram program on my iPhone. 
• I have everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that I need to start the new Line of Faeries. 
• I need to clean up the nursery after putting every general box and bag that landed on my worktable that had anything to do with the nursery.
• I took over 200 photos on my camera that I need to upload and figure out what I want to share.
• I was able to purchase another wee cabinet that currently holds all of Sapphire the Pixie's Faerie Dust jars. Now I need to know what to store in the new one and then to remember to give Sapphire the key!!
• I have a new butterfly diary that I would like to start using in the nursery...but again, what do I put in it...and no, this one doesn't have a key that I need to give to Sapphire.
• Photos, photos, photos. I took all new shots of the Northern Line of Faeries and I will need to see if that will be perfect to put on the website or not.
• I received a phone call from late July for one of our most favourites' visitors to the nursery and I just haven't either felt well enough or silly enough to not be ready for them to drop in.
• Speaking of those 'faerie minded' visitors, I received through an email a beautiful photo that I need to print off in colour and hang. It is always a humbling feeling when someone thinks of you.
• I guess I could go on and on and on...but I just realized that instead of writing all of this down here, that I guess that there were a few things that I could actually be doing to cross off of on my list...sigh...
• Ummm...anyone care to come for a visit to help me out?

Oh, and I have asked our website guru to see if it would be possible to change out the font that I am currently using on Blogger as if I can't read it, I really don't know how you can??

The Sleepover?

Well, this wee Faerie is taking a much needed sleepover away from the Nursery.

But, but, but....please do not fret....Pixie Heather will be here...now everyone jump up and down and saying YAY...in fact let's do it many times over. YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY....okay that's enough, that's all I need is for anyone to run out of jumping umph and even worse to run out of breath, and even, even worse than that is to get laryngitis because of the celebration of Pixie Heather being here at the Nursery...(hmmm are you jumping up and down and saying YAY,  in fact let's do it many times over. YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY for fact that Pixie Heather is going to be looking after the Nursery...or are you jumping up and down in fact let's do it many times over. YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY and that I am going away for a much needed sleepover from the Nursery)!! Hmmmm, Now, I know that there are a few of you out there...and you know who you are!! Yes, you!! Yes, you, that is who I am addressing in this paragraph! Okay fine, possibly more than just the few of you...Yes, the more of you that I had addressed at the beginning of this paragraph will say but how are you not supposed welcome Pixie Heather for staying here at the Nursery or supposed to saying YAY, that you are so happy that I am taking a much needed sleepover away from the Nursery (now if you do decide that you are going to do your YAY in fact let's do it many times over YAY, YAY, YAY to say goodbye to me, Faerie Amma while she is away for a much needed sleepover away from the Nursery...than, I just think that if very nice of you...sigh)

I have tried my best to pre-do as many 'Thoughts of the Day' as I could over the past few days and I will post them today...but, but, but....YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED to let your EYES wander in any such way...that's all I need is for you to start your day off with the wrong 'Thought of the Day'! I would feel sooooo bad if your 'Thought of the Day' was mixed up in your noggin! That would just be DISASTROUS! And trust me...you really don't want to put yourself into a dangerous situation that's for sure. As who knows what just might happen? You might end up wearing a matching set of socks! You might end up figuring out who laughs at you when you are walking past the sunflowers! Oh, and oh goodness, be that you find out where your keys are! And oh, oh my goodness, and I certainly do hope that this DOESN'T happen to you, that you just might figure out that your glasses are actually on top of your head! Oh my goodness, I would just be besides myself! Here I am...just thinking of all of the silliness that just might go on while I am away taking a much needed sleepover away from the Nursery. Oh my, and now I am soooo worried that you just might starting to think of the mischief that might go on...okay, okay, I certainly hope that you don't figure out who is hiding your extra sock in the warm dryer...oh wait, I forgot..who will care about that missing sock from the warm dryer as you NEVER wear a matching pair of socks anyways! Ah, big sigh...thank goodness Pixie Heather is going to be here to protect you from any silliness that just might go on while I am away taking a much needed sleepover away from the Nursery!!

Now, I know that there are a few of you out there...and you know who you are!! Yes, you!! Yes, you, that is who I am addressing in this above beginning part and then again of the above above paragraph! Okay fine, possibly more than just the few of you...Yes, the more of you that I had addressed at the beginning part of the above paragraph and then again of the above above paragraphs  ....which is that you are not supposed to let your eyes wander when you have to find the order of the day which is for the 'Thought of the Day' for that day. Yes, I realize that you will have to scroll down to find the 'Thought of the Day' for this so called 'Thought of the Day' that it belongs to. But this is where I was originally talking to that few of you out there..and you know who you are!! Yes, you!! Yes, you, that is who I am addressing in this above beginning part and then again of this above paragraph.....that you just might let your eyes wander.

My solution to this above issue (and yes, being the Guardian of the Nursery, I know every solution) on how to not open your eyes...I figure if you open the 'Quotes' tab and then page of this blog and then just close your eyes (yes, this whole blog posting is about your 'EYES') and then with your mouse and with your eyes still being closed, just scroll down? I'm pretty sure that this will get you pretty close to the 'Thought of the Day' that you need to read for that day. Yuppers, I think that I have it all figured out....but now the question....do you have it figured out as well? I know that there are a few of you out there...and you know who your are!! Yes, you!! Yes, you, that is who I am addressing in this above beginning part and then again of the above and above paragraphs! Okay fine, possibly more than just the few of you...Yes, the more of you that I addressed in the beginning part of this paragraph and then again of the above above paragraphs, that is who I am addressing in this paragraph....but how are you not supposed to let your eyes wander when you have to find the order of which your 'Thought of the Day' is?

So, here is me...trusting you (now, I know that there are a few of you out there....and you know who your are!! Yes, you!! Yes, you, that is who I am addressing in this paragraph that is written above and then those above above paragraphs! Okay fine, possibly the more of just the few of you...Yes, the more of you that I had address at the beginning {okay at almost the beginning of the middle} of the above paragraph and then again of the above above paragraphs that will say but how are you going to trust us to not suppose to let our eyes wander when you have to find the order of which the 'Thought of the Day' is which).  Well to those of you out there...and you know who you are!! Yes, you!! Yes, you, that is who I am addressing in this above paragraph at the beginning{okay at almost the beginning of the middle} of this paragraph and then the above above above paragraphs....and okay fine, the possibly more than just the few of you...Yes, the more of you that I had addressed at the beginning of this paragraph {okay at almost the beginning of the middle and then again at the beginning of the above above above paragraphs}will say but how are you not supposed to let your eyes wander when you have to find the order of which day is which).

Well for crying out loud...I just hope that you will the Quotes tab and then page for my continued 'Thought of the Day' while I am away taking a much needed sleepover away from the Nursery.

Please enjoy your next few weeks and I will see you all soon!!

p.s. Thank you Pixie Heather for looking after the Nursery for me :)
