Free Print Projects Started and New Blog Features
I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. I spent most of the day yesterday sitting on my bee-hind in front of the computer trying to navigate a fun new site that has been on my to-do-list for weeks...months.
I started a couple of HP print projects, which you can see here. The first project, I have used my flower images to make a photo cube, all you need are scissors, HP glossy, photo or card stock paper and a printer. It is the first one and of course practice makes perfect (well sort of...maybe), and I am looking forward to making a few more. Here is a scaled down layout:
Now, just think all about the places that could do with a splash of color from a cute little photo cube, I always have one on my desk. It is also a nice thing to give to someone, who could use a thoughtful pick-me-up. I'll also add a link that shows you how to make your own. How nice and convenient it will be for you to print your own with images that could comfort someone in the hospital or someone away from home or as a keepsake of sorts for a special someone. I would love to see what you come up with too.
The second HP print project that I started there are clean cut pages for the very popular Ladies Blend homemade beauty recipes. You can print these out on plain paper or use HP glossy, photo or card stock to make a handmade booklet for yourself or someone else. The sleek simple design adds to the beauty of this project and is easy on the ink too. There are no images, but there is a color theme, depending on what the recipe is. For example, the color scheme for lavender bath salts is purple...you get the idea. Here is a scaled down version of that project:
In other news, about a week ago, we quietly launched our new daily feature called Ladies Blend Thymes Three, which is 3 very short daily click-able tidbits of interesting topics. Already generating a good amount of interest, with lots of clicks, I think this will be around for a while. Check in daily to see what's new there, this new feature is located at the top of the home page, everyday. Click the box, located in our sidebar on every page to take you right to Ladies Blend Thymes Three:
In the side bar under For You From Pennie, another new feature was also added, called five faves, which is a list of the five most popular projects, recipes, posts, etc. on our blog and is updated as needed. An example of a very popular post right now, is the one that has the recipe for homemade insect repellent. As you can imagine this post will not be clicked on nearly as much after summer has ended.
And last, but never least, we are having a 20% off sale on our Ladies Blend website exclusively for our blog readers. This sale ends 07/02/08, see complete ad details in our sidebar. Enjoy!
And just one more thing. We all know by now food blogs rule, and I want you to have easy access to the best recipes available on the Internet, so I did add one more new feature...oh about 10 or 11 days (and an hour or 2) ago. The food blog search button, located in (where else?) our sidebar-thank goodness for those sidebars!
And that is the end of this very long post - have a lovely day!
