are you?

a morning person?

i have been trying to get back into my morning walk routine but the sun is not coming up as early anymore {daylight saving in a few weeks will fix it for awhile} so i just snuggle under my doona for an extra half hour. while the sun rises. 

i do miss the quiet time of starting the day hitting the pavement
 & listening to the birds chirp & sing
 & sometimes dogs from around the neighbourhood join me!
so my aim this week is to go to bed earlier {i am such a night owl} & wake with time for a walk.

My Easter decorations so far...

My Easterdecorations

After deciding to go for a colour scheme of mint, peach and gold this Easter, I have designed pretty lace bunny labels in peach and mint to stick on my chocolate filled egg boxes and mini bottles (labels for you to enjoy coming later this week). I dressed my bunnies with peach and gold trimmed ribbon bows and filled their bellies with Oodles of Eggs, the latter of which you can win in my latest giveaway. I also managed to sequin a few more eggs.

Have a sweet day!

Please stop the madness! Don't make me type nonsense words that I can't actually read anyway. I love your blog to bits, but I am so utterly tired of typing painstaking nonsense. I do enough of that on my own blog.

It's so easy to remove the word verification off your Blogger blog and I've never had a problem with spam since I did. Believe me!

Ipprn quimpl ghde ribe.

Here's how you do it.

If you are using the 'new look' Blogger interface, you'll need to go back to the old Blogger interface (at least, that's the only way I know how to do it...). Just click on the little steering wheel looking thingy (technical term) on the RHS of the new interface. This will take you to your old-school Dashboard.

Click on 'Settings', then 'Comments' then scroll down to 'Show word verification for comments' and click select 'Absolutely, you bet, please get rid of these ridiculous words from my precious blog because they are making people not want to leave a comment because it's all too hard and they are weeping, weeping I tell you' (or you could just click 'No') and you're done!

I also have 'Comment moderation' set on my blog for posts older than 3 days. This is mainly so I never miss a comment, but I think it's a good back up so that spam doesn't get sprinkled across your older posts. You can delete them as they come in. I have done that an astounding 3 times in the seven whole months that I haven't had word veri on. The spam catcher gets pretty much all of the spam whether you have word veri on or not...

So, there you have it.

Pretty please?
