Hi Ann and Maggie, I am going to stick with Martin if he will play lol, Go with one on Ann's list Maggie? or whatever strikes you this week :))

xx

As there are two list Maggie there is plenty of choice so go with that.

thanks Rose and Ann, have picked out a couple from your suggestions.

Had a poetry filled day today. My computer is bursting with it, so decided to print it all off ( scrapping stuff along the way ! )

OH wants me to turn it all into a book, so made a start, and will leave it all to prosperity and my grandchild..lol

Hi Maggie
Think your poems would make a lovely book for family
Mau xxx

Thanks Mau ! :)

Can I pick peeps brains please?

I have been printing out on and off all day, one poem at a time with appropriate illustrations on A4 sheets. Phew, about another 4 weeks to go..lol
Any ideas on how I can put it all together, rather than just in a file or ringbinder?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

I was looking at a way of putting my family tree stuff together Maggie and saw some binders that make it look like a proper 'book'.... try this for a picture

Thanks Mau, I enjoyed watching that !

Trouble is I have already started printing out, so can't fold my sheets, if you know what I mean.

But perfect for making notebooks and diaries, and for scrapbooking too.

One on the list for my 'to do'

Thanks Maggie.....i've looked at Rose's site, the spring back binders look good :O)

Sorry ladies, i am late this week , but I will try and get another bit of 'Martin' out in the next couple of days :))

Thanks Maggie, Ann, and BC for items yet to be read...getting there!

No problem Rose.

I'm late too,I have two almost completed but both still need tweeking.....

No problem Mau. I am wondering whether to just send out tot hose who respond to me this time, several weeks I have not heard anything from a few on the list, I value my writing and don't want to be sending it to anyone not interested enough to comment. That, os course does not include those who normally do comment.

I agree Ann. I've just sent a story out to about thirteen,so will see what transpires.....ooh that's a good word lol ;O)

Evening ladies:) Week by week I find I am cutting my list down. Even if I just send it to three or four who actually read it and comment, then it is worthwhile to me. But I am still puzzled at the lack of acknowledgments....it would make sense to just say (in a polite way of course) please don't send me any more you are far too talented and it just makes me feel inferior...oops...sorry I was dreaming! lol

But I am grateful to those who are kind enough to read;))

BC XXX

prod prod morning dearie ;O) .....I'm grateful too BC,but I do enjoy taking part in the group.....especially if any juices start flowing lol

LOL BC...'please don't send me any more you are far too talented it makes me feel inferior....' but I keep fighting it ;)

Mau, I haven't received yours?

Ladies I am about to send out a piece written by Marian... she is new to using a computer so I will act as 'go between' for now :)

Marian...thank you so much for sending in your contribution. It was truly lovely and painted a great picture. I look forward to more:)) BC XX
