Thank you, DollMum - and thank you for giving the details on all your follower's blogs! Now I will check some out in case I've overlooked them. What a wonderful big blog network - would be fascinating to see it diagrammed!

Sarah said...

Hi Sarah,
In the Google Friend Connect you haven't put a link to your St Hilary's blog and you haven't got a picture which is why I didn't make the connection. I'll amend my welcome to include you properly ;-)
Must go and see Gracie with her new instrument.

Hi Sarah,
It is very weird - on the display of my friends it doesn't show a photo for your or a link to your blog, but in your comments to this message when I click on your name link it does (the wonders of Blogger and Google!)
regards
DollMum

Sarah said...

Thanks for that - yes isn't it strange that the connection didn't show up - I am new to blogger though so there may be something I need to do here...........will check it out.........

Papillon Bleu said...

Oh! it is such a nice thing to do!
Thank you so much!
But you know, it is not so grey where I am.It is even rather green!

I have popped in to invite you and your dolls ( and whoever is young at heart) to our welcome party!!!!weehee!!!

DollMum said...

Thanks for the invite Papillon Bleu - a welcome for your new little Prince - he is very handsome.

I'm glad it is still green where you are, it is here too really with lots of autumn colours, the last couple of days have been such miserable weather though after a beautiful September.
