ranting · 16/05/2008 20:42

I won't be taking any bait here . . . .

chrissnow · 16/05/2008 20:46

Good girl Dior!!
Oh and thanks

Nbg · 16/05/2008 20:53

Mistypeaks, hmmmmm. It does ring a bell.
When did you join MN?

I have another question. I've set up a Flickr account for the doll swap pictures. How do I now put a little flickr thing on my blog?

Add totally clueless picture here.

chrissnow · 16/05/2008 21:10

2006 apparently.

Miaou · 16/05/2008 22:47

Oh I know your old name chrissnow! I have absolutely no idea what thread/event/subject even you are referring to, but just recognise it as a name I am used to seeing bandied around.

There is always the remote possibility that if you post as MP then someone might say "oh hi! haven't seen you about since that thread" - but I doubt it would go further than that.

Go back to your name! Mine is very precious to me, goes back a lot further than MN so I do understand

(Incidentally I have always read your name as Chriss Now, then it occured to me the other day it's probably Chris Snow )

mistypeaks · 16/05/2008 23:12

ta daaaaa! That's more me!!
Yes Chris Snow is a character I love in a book I love. Chriss now is more apt . . . as in mommmmmmy noooooooooooooow!!!
But no I am Misty Peaks.
(this is really going to confuse the daytime crowd )

mistypeaks · 16/05/2008 23:17

sorry nbg can't help with flickr. I may have mentioned before. I am a technophobe!!! (its taken me ages to remember how to revert to being MP!!)
Just to confirm I wasn't being mean on the other thread that made me hide like a girly wuss. I tried to help someone, by admitting to something and was made to feel like I should be arrested or sectioned or something. Must have been going through a hormonal patch, because if it was done now I'd have told said bs to right off
ladies and gentlemen - misty is back in the building. Hopefully now I can get my whole mojo back and get a bit of speed on ref crafting . . . .
should go to bed - still not well

lucykate · 17/05/2008 07:53

nbg, there are lots of ways to do the flickr thing, but the easiest to explain, is go to your own ohoto's page, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a section with activity, you, explore and help down the left hand side. go across from the word help until you see 'tools', click on that, on the next page it takes you too, on the right, there is a section called display flickr photos on your website, click on the bit that says 'build a badge'. you then follow the step by step instructions, when you choose the content, you can then choose it to be photo's from the doll swap group. once you've done all that, select the html code it gives you and copy it into a html box within the customise layout section on your blog. you could do it twice and have one for your own photos and one for the doll swap photos on your blog.

by the way, if anyone else wants to join the toadstool swap, send me an email today. i know the deadline has passed but i won't get chance to sit down and do the partner draw until this evening, dh has big diy jobs on today so i'm looking after the dc's.

nbg, are you still up for it?

gm/jg, did you manage your meet up yesterday??

we need to sort out an ikea trip too don't we?!

Nbg · 17/05/2008 08:40

Oooh yeah I am still up for it.
I have totally forgotten to email you.
Will go and do it now. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the Flickr advice too.
I'm not too bothered about it atm as GM is the only one who has completed her doll and sent it off, so her poor little ginger dolly is all lonesome in the Flickr boxes

Misty, I really wouldnt worry about the name thing.
I've been here 4 years now and seen some very nasty arguments, disagreements etc.
Yours would probably pale in comparison

dizzyday07 · 17/05/2008 08:50

LK - I did send you an email re the swap - let me know if you didn't get it

Nbg - I set up a folder on Flickr to put all our Easter Swap pics in and put the link on the MNCrafters blog- but don't ask me how I did it!!

I need to set up another for the Vintage Swap pics too

mistypeaks · 17/05/2008 09:01

NBG - I know. I took it very badly for some unexplained reason. But I'm back .

meridian · 17/05/2008 09:09

I have got a few new people that have left comments for my giveaway, so quite chuffed at that, need to finish a comission that I was working on yesterday but it all went a bit wrong so I set it aside and went and got coffee instead. I may get a bit of crafting done this morning... with DS's help [hmm}

Misty- I can remember your nickname.. not sure if I ever really talked to you till you being chrisnow ( I too thought it was Chriss Now )

Whizzz- love the new bracelet very fun and funky looking, the kind of thing that you jsut want to swish around...

I need to work on organizing my blog... as I need to fix my list of ob blogs which dissapeared on me awhile ago and i never fixed... oh and maybe organize a mini challenge on the MN crafters blog as it has been neglected by me with all this blooming travel..

must go fish DS out of bath before he turns into a well fish..

mistypeaks · 17/05/2008 09:12

This all just confirms it to me. Chrissnow was a cacky name .

meridian · 17/05/2008 09:27

Misty- well my origional name was "Daemara" .. its a character from a story I er wrote...well created anyway... and Meridian (Ariel) goes back to college days way back in 1996/97 when using a WBS chat room (now long gone).. an x-files fans one... very long story there...though Meridian had nothing to do with x-files jsut a name I liked... its where I met my DH we were penpals and then friends visiting back and forth with a few other internet friends in Cali and in Texas etc... he was a true friend and then we fell in love... anyway thats why we named our cat Starbuck its was scully's nickname from her father... yeah i'm a geek...

lucykate · 17/05/2008 09:34

dizzy, gm & nbg, have got all your emails for the swap, there are about 60 signed up for it, i've got my work cut out tonight sorting it all!

as far as names are concerned, i've only ever been lucykate, apart from a small selection of trolling names which i'll never reveal

Nbg · 17/05/2008 10:27

60!
Blimey!

I've had loads of names but they're only what I've been messing about with for a joke.
I used to be NewBarnsleyGirl but everyone shortened it to Nbg so I changed it.

Mamag always calls me B&q and once very nicely changed the meaning of Nbg to Northallerton B*^%$ Queen

Tillyboo · 17/05/2008 10:39

60 in the swap ? That's brilliant !

I know what it's like to be absolutely crucified on a thread. It happened to me last year and I couldn't believe such an innocent question (and that's all it was I promise you) created such a savage beating. Needless to say I don't venture very far from the lovelies here.

Anyway I have now blogged my achievements for this week.

It's dh b'day today so I probably won't get away with starting anything new today ...

mistypeaks · 17/05/2008 10:46

Happy Birthday MrTillyBoo!
