I log into blogger using a Google profile, and when I check all the different levels (blogger, Google etc. the photo is there, but it still does not appear on comments. I have even uploaded a new photo, and gone through the process of changing it everywhere with no luck.Dashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415154217182640049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-77686280097696532602013-09-22T19:23:45.972-04:002013-09-22T19:23:45.972-04:00You will find that the needle simply doesn't g...You will find that the needle simply doesn't go into the fabric as easily as it used to. If you want to, do a simple test by using the old needle for a few stitches, then change to a brand new one. If you can feel the difference in the stitching, then its time to pitch the old needle. Sometimes you can actually feel very tiny burrs on the tip of the needle if you scrape it gently along the surface of the tip of your finger.Dashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415154217182640049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-60232444847417396812013-09-21T17:23:38.365-04:002013-09-21T17:23:38.365-04:00Thank you both for those helpful ideas -- they eac...Thank you both for those helpful ideas -- they each have merit based on the many different types of paper I have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-34723317650713213032013-09-21T13:46:18.718-04:002013-09-21T13:46:18.718-04:00When I went I bought a shuttle ticket to the hotel...When I went I bought a shuttle ticket to the hotel once I got off the plane. I bought round trip and it was cheaper. Dropped us off and picked us up at the hotel. The inside scoop depends upon what you want to do. I enjoyed slots most at Paris. People watching was great everywhere. We saw Circa de Solei (spelling?) Beatles love. My advice is to move early to anywhere you want to be. There are so many people. At night I would probably pay the money for a cab in your circumstances.

Beanie Babies would be perfect to put in the shoeboxes. Small, soft, snuggly toys. They will be well-loved.

Your hotel should offer shuttle service from the airport. The strip goes for miles and everyting will look alot closer than it really is. Caesar Palace and The Venetian have beautiful indoor decor thoughout. The Bellagio water fountain show in front is beautiful. You can see erupting volcano in front of the Mirage. You can buy 2 for one and discount tickets at ticket outlets for many of the shows. Not sure of the best way to get around with a motorized chair, taxi or bus. And, you are right so much to see and do. I would go to Las Vegas web site and see what is going on during the time you are there and make an iternery from there. Hope this helps somewhat.osovictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755459416529761318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-32062149638312386312013-09-20T11:07:25.589-04:002013-09-20T11:07:25.589-04:00I'm having a Fall blog hop and have told my fr...I'm having a Fall blog hop and have told my friends and linked up with those who have Linky parties to let people know about my hop. I started learning about blogging back in July, when I participated in a hop and I learned a lot, but there's so much to learn. I look at blogging tips and other's blogs to get ideas but think I'm missing something. If anyone has the time, I could use some tips about having a successful hop and blogging in general!

Perhaps putting some foam on the pinchy parts before putting the paper in the hanger?

I'm currently using a quilt rack for my Japanese papers as they drape and stack nicely without damage; my other papers are currently stacked and the edges become damaged. The main solution appears to be metal flat files, but these are costly and I would need several as I have hundreds of sheets of paper. The papers become difficult to work with if rolled (even after ironing) -- any thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-72230707169059408782013-09-20T09:10:17.086-04:002013-09-20T09:10:17.086-04:00I believe that some pin cushions actually sharpen ...I believe that some pin cushions actually sharpen needles and pins so perhaps finding or making one with grit inside would sharpen those dull needles. <br />MaryLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084086800823762548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-9473223574394987102013-09-20T08:06:52.597-04:002013-09-20T08:06:52.597-04:00Well, Karen said we could ask anything!

We really don't know where to start. So much to see, so much to do. One friend suggested, upon check in we ask for perks and upgrades. And how do you travel from the airport to the hotel?
