Tweets and Chats

I have been spending a fair amount of time this week checking on the progress of the ash cloud over New Zealand and the earthquake tremors in Christchurch. The big questions around our house is "will she or won't she fly out on Friday night?" The New Zealand Herald and Qantas websites have had my full attention these past few days.

Every now and again, I drift onto other sites, find something interesting and post it onto my Twitter page and  Collage of Life Facebook page.  When I look back at them, I can see a snapshot of my week.  I was thinking that there might be something in it for you too....

 A snapshot, in Tweets and Chatter...
Tweeting On..

I came across a great book, 'Garden People, Valerie Finnis and The Golden Age of Gardening', here.
To this, I added my post on Gardening Style. You can check out the very chic women gardeners of yesteryear, here.
Do you have kids applying to USA colleges? Check out the insiders guide to college admissions, here.
If you love the idea of living in Paris, have a look at this book, here.
The Travel Bookshop in Notting Hill tweeted on 'The Independent's 50 Best Summer Reads', here.
I went shopping last weekend to a Midsummer Fair and came across some great finds, here.
I was glued to the BBC programme 'The Country House Revealed' the other night, check it out here.
If you read my last post, you will know that I am supporting the 1000 Schools for 1000 Girls initiative with the CCLEF, here.
Do you know where self confidence comes from? Read here.
Lastly, check out this great weekend bag, here.

Chats with Facebook friends..... 

My Facebook friends and I are having great chats about our favourite books. This week we have talked about, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson, Educating Alice by Alice Steinbach, Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, The Paris Wife by Paula McLain and many more... you can join in, here.

Vivian wrote to recommend books from her Arts Book Club. She mentioned

'The Passion of Artemisia' and 'Luncheon of the Boating Party' both by Susan Vreeland.

You can read about both books and more, here.

A sigh of relief to see that others like my new Purple Paisley Palazzo Pants, here.

Sunflowers have been on my mind, if they are on yours as well, read here.

Going vertical in the garden was big talk at the Chelsea Flower Show? Learn how, here.

Phew!

How am I doing all this?

Via my iPad.

A delightful little invention.

Thank you Apple.

I love it so much, I bought it

a brand new travel cover.

My last little creation of the day was a few bits

and pieces to hang on my market basket.

A friend made Scrabble earrings for me

with my initials. I decided I would

enjoy them more seeing them everyday,

alongside my silver cross. 

:)

Off to check on that ash cloud again

and then pack.

Best wishes to one and all for a lovely weekend.

I will be reporting from Christchurch, New Zealand 

next week, with my iPad.

If you would like to follow me on Twitter and Facebook,

you can find links along my sidebar.

I would LOVE to have you join me!

A New Face...a New Twitter

I am taking stock at the moment.

I have gone into information overload.

There was a moment or two when I was 

ready to press the button...delete blog, delete Facebook, delete Twitter.

My fingers flew every which way over that keyboard but in the end...I couldn't.

My blogs have become like my children....they need me or rather I need them :)

I decided Facebook needed a new face...a new purpose.

Mention Twitter and you get the immediate eye roll...I just didn't get it.

Until now...I think.

Let's talk Facebook.....

I have been on Facebook a year or two, a few friends, a few pages and

more recently a few blogging friends. My frustration grew when I could no longer

find friends and the information I wanted thru all the clutter. Do I really want to know the latest

egg count from someone playing Farmville? Not really. As much as I enjoy those

friends...I think Facebook has taken the whole 'sharing' concept too far.

Enter the little 'x' that sits to the right side of a Facebook comment...it lets you hide it all.

Click...click...click and voila...gone.

No one has been deleted...they are just resting, for a while :)

I want to read. I want to know what is going on around me 

and I want to go to one place to do it.

This is where pages come in and I now have just the ones I need

to make my Facebook experience a more pleasant one. Some of

my favs...The New York Times, BBC News, Nigella Lawson, Visit London,

Financial Times, Harrods, Elle Decor, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, 

The National Trust, Royal Academy of Arts, 

Ticketmaster UK and The British Monarchy...just for fun.

 I have also noticed Facebook widgets on other blogs and thought it might be fun. 

Kerry @ A Tranquil Townhouse gave me the heads up

on how to do it and I now have a page devoted to my many blog posts.

Blogging has been simplified.

I find them, they find me...we read, we comment. Life is easy.

Now I need more...so if you have put your blog on Facebook or are

contemplating it and would like to know more...comment here

and we will find a way together.

Let's talk Twitter....

How many of you have signed up and that is about it?

How many have looked at it and that is about it?

How many of you are actively using Twitter?

How many of you do not want to go there?

I am taking baby steps here. I started yesterday.

There is still lots to learn, but it is actually kind of fun. 

Why am I surprised?

I have found the most wonderful information 

about the things I love to do.

I think I could begin to like this concept.

Let's Talk blogs...

What can I say? I have five.

I have thought about deleting one or two or three

but just can not bring myself to do it.

They all fill a need for me and for those few who

stop in and comment...I would miss them :)

 Blog, Facebook or Twitter

It's all go around here!!

How about you?

Can I help answer any questions?

A big thank you if you made it this far!!!

One last thing...this is for the questions that you may have. 

Maybe we can help each other :)

1. From Janet @ Janet's Journal
Does anyone know of a hosting/editing/collage making site?
(I would like to know too :) 


Suggestions from Laura @ Happy Homemaker
Collage site: Scrapblog & Polyvore

Photo editing: Picasa & Picnik
Photo albums/scrapbooks: Blurb
Thanks Laura!
Suggestions from Jane @ Life on Planet Baby
1. I upload my photos to Flickr and then edit them in Picnik. I save the edited versions back to Flickr.
2. I use BigHugeLabs to do my collages, mosaics and all sorts of fun. You'll have a ball playing with it.
3. I also collect photos I like by using We ♥ it, Pinterest and Vi.sualize.us. I posted about them at 
http://www.lifeonplanetbaby.com/p/blogging-tips.html if you're interested.
Thank you Jane!
