O.K., NOW I REALLY FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT

Well, evidently I put the plug-ins back. I feel stupid now after the last post I just did. I didn't imagine I would fix this problem. I managed 
to find a search result with the very simple 2-part instruction on how
to check if your plug-ins are disabled. Uh-huh, sure, like I know what
I'm doing. This was all sheer accidental luck that things went back
together. 
O.K., apparently I can comment again.  Honestly, 8 hours of this for something I did in 5 seconds. Boy, I am lucky though.  It all could have been worse. And I'm lucky that I have a lot of patience.( I think
I'm mistaking patience for being in a semi-coma)
Let me see if I can find some vintage Christmas images:

Ah, that went well.  Isn't that a pretty card?
I'm off to find some recipes and any giveaways that I missed posting 
on here. Hopefully some free cross stitching patterns for the Winter/
Christmas season. You know, my regular stuff.
I've got a headache...

Pennsylvania Horse Desperately Needs A Home

PLEASE HELP THIS HORSE..PASS THE WORD!

This is a request from  the Wicked Faerie Queen blog to reach 

out to as many bloggers as we can to help this beautiful animal;

here's what she posted this morning:

I visited Izzy's Acres blog just now and she is asking anyone who would like to give this beautiful horse Dandy a home. I think that passing the word may help. Please my fellow bloggers and followers copy this and post it. The more people who can get it out there the better. Let's all band together to get this lovely guy a home before it is too late.

This was her post, you can visit her blog for a clearer picture- http://izzysacres.blogspot.com/2011/10/home-for-this-horse-needed-asap.html

Home for this horse needed ASAP!!!!!
I am trying to help a friend out by getting this info out there......this beautiful boy needs a home! There is a time limit and it would be heartbreaking to see him be put down........he is FREE to the right home! Please feel free to share this info!

Thanks, everyone.

I'VE REALLY DONE IT NOW: I CAN'T POST AND I WRECKED MY TEMPLATE

Hi, Primmies,
Well, last night I did a disc clean up scan on the laptop and I must have erased something in Google Chrome because I lost everything. Gmail, iGoogle Home Page and Blogger recognized me but everything was blank. Five and one half hours  later I managed to restore everything, but as you can see my blog is screwy. I am missing plug-ins for the apps I had and worst of all I can't leave comments anywhere on anyone's blog, even my own. So, don't give up on me gals. I hope I can figure this out and I hope this post goes through. I've really messed things up and I'll never do a deep scan again.

 So now I have to find out why I can't comment and what the heck
plug-in am I missing. I can't put back any of my widgets.
If I get through this you probably won't hear a word out of me for
days. I need an ice bag for my head...

While I'm Thinking Of It

Hi, Primmies,
I want to take this moment to thank ALL of my followers. When I
started blogging in May every time I picked up a follower, I'd
scream out to hubba, "hunny, I've got a follower", "hunny, I've
got another follower,  "hunny..." you get the idea! I've picked up
quite a few in the past week alone and I'm thrilled. I feel like
such a winner. I know that  a lot of it is due to your very sweet
comments and one having me on their blog list has led to another
and another, and I have ALL of you who've visited to thank.
My little group of early followers, you know who you are and I
will never forget the feeling of happiness you gave to me from
finding me noteworthy to follow along with.
Also, I realize that every once in a while I have something on the
blog that isn't "truly Prim". I hope you won't hold that against me
since I call this Glen Oaks Primitives, but some artists' work is
just SO beautiful (like the vintage train case) that I think there's
others like me who can appreciate the beauty. My heart is Prim
even though I like to "window shop" and peek in some different
store windows.

'Nite, Primmies...
