In need of posting

Ok so it’s sunday. I need to have a mini rant lol
I am over spammers! There, said it, feel better!
What spam prevention measures do you take on ur blog?

On to happier things. Journal your Christmas 2010. I’m on the hunt for supplies so link me up to your favourites – either paper or digi. I need some inspiration.

Just a short post today, Feeling really tired as not much sleep in the house cause of a teething bub. Might go have a nanna nap Winking smile

1st November

means Day one for NaBloMoPo.

nablo10.90x33

What is NaBloMoPo, I hear you ask?
Essentially, it’s a group of people who have committed to updating their blogs once a day for an entire month. (from the NaBloPoMo site).

So everyday between now and Nov 30 I’ll be posting every day. Look for more posts from me. Might be digging my blog list out from Shimelle’s blogging class.

Anyways I’ll be back tomorrow with something new Winking smile

What I’ve been up to lately

I’ve redesigned and moved my blog.

I’ve been working on my art journal – got a couple of digi pages done & will hopefully have some hybrid pages done soon.

Was going to take part in the Enchanted Scrapbooking CC this weekend but bub had other plans 😉 as 4 month old children often do.

Welcomed Mum & Dad home from their trip – Singapore, England, Scotland, Crete & Canada *sigh* wish I could have gone too.

Seriously wondered where the cold weather has come from…. it was ok then *bam* frosts & really cold. Welcome to winter – bring back summer.

Have done a little bit more in my scrap space – still can’t see the desk but I have a bookshelf now & it is semi organised 😀

Not much else that I can comment on really. working on a few ideas, just need to see if they will be viable or not. Does the scrapbooking world need another challenge blog?

Note to self – get off butt & get the store done during your daughter’s naps!!

Until next time ppls 😀 Be happy!

updating

So the new blog look is coming soon I promise 😉 just working on the header design atm

and more organising posts too.

All is going well here. Haven’t done any paper scrapping still but have got my Project 365 layouts up to date…… will update my P365 page here soon.

Blogging

I’ve finally made the decision I have way too many blogs. I’ve managed to narrow it down to three

Nightwolf’s Layouts (this blog) will be for all things scrapbooking, crafty & will be where I share my Project 365 pages.

From the Wolf’s Den will be for all things baby

Life at the Wolf’s Den will be my personal blog. Life, food, computers, heck anything that doesn’t fit in the above two blogs.

Feel free to subscribe to any (or all) and feel free to leave me a message to say hi 🙂

Another contest

One of my favourite blog designers – Gisele is having a contest on her blog.

birdiecardcontestclick on the image above to read all about it. & while you’re there check out the gorgeous designs (I use one of them on bub’s blog)

In other news, I’m teaching myself how to write WordPress themes. Currently working on a new one for here so hopefully I’ll have a new theme soon. not that there is anything wrong with this one – just want something I made myself 🙂

Didn’t get to work on what I’m creating yesterday but that’s what I’m planning on going to do for the rest of the arvo so will be back with some pictures later 🙂
