Hi Everyone, well, a website called 'sendmycard' seemed a great idea for busy people on the internet, but it is hard work. I (sort of knew) / realised --when the domain name was 'free' (apart from the usual £5.00) that others had tried and failed, so - I spent lots of time trying to get keywords like 'send cards' to page 1 of google (UK -it may not be on page 1 in other countries). I managed it. Even 'send birthday card' is on page 1 in the UK (halfway down - but still page 1).
If its bringing in business --then I hate to think what it would be like if I wasn't even on google! The good news is that (slowly) customers return to the site, so I must be doing something right. I try to e.mail them a photo of their card, with their message inside and the addressed envelope, so they know it 'is in today's post'.
One nice lady said she used the site because the cards were nicer than moonpig -- but only one person has said this, and she was looking for an extra special 'leaving to have a baby card' and I do have some extra large ones for people in offices to sign, write their own messages on.
Well its time for "valentine's day cards", and this does not google for my site, so I am not expecting very much business this year. I need to add more cards during the year, ready for next year! I am putting a link to the page picture of the card with the cats!

oops sorry - I can't do links? trying again --
--just in case anyone wants to look at the full card.

oops--
sorry for the link mess, I am trying again:-

how about this one:-
valentine’s cards

success!

I had my camera with me on Sunday and saw a swan on the sea -- I did not know swans went 'on the sea', then a bit later, I saw a Seagull having a paddle in a childrens paddling pool next to the sea!

Hi again everyone --boring send my card stuff -- -- well they say its an ill wind that blows no one any good --or something like that -- the ill wind is the snow -- I think the snow may have caused a few extra people to use my website if they did not want to struggle to shops!
Send my card business is getting better (slowly) all the time. I did not make loads of money in a hurry --which I secretly hoped! -- and getting onto page 1 of google for 'send birthday cards', and the harder 'send cards' -- did not do as well as I thought it would.
I think the snow may have caused a few extra people to use the site who did not want to struggle to shops!
My friend Rose has been personalising cards (one shown) - I think she is quite talented, and she has been thinking of starting her business from home for some time --and has finally got round to it.

My canon camera I bought from argos 12 months and 1 week ago stopped working --the lens did not come out fully, and refuses to work. I spent ages trying to find the receipt, thinking it was still under guarantee, but it had just run out. I went to Argos as some things have a longer guarantee, but they said all they could do was send it off to Canon and charge me -- so I bought a £59.00 GE one which has a panorama mode, where it takes 3 photos and puts them together, so I tried a rainbow which seemed a complete semi circle (over Rhos-on Sea?, and then another picture - as shown.
I am not the best photographer - but -hey --who cares!
My friend Rose is starting a business from home --- all will be revealed soon!!

My friend has Rosacea and has looks as if she is blushing.
She asked my to put some information about it on my blog in case other people have the same problem.
At the moment it makes her look prettier, but she is worried that it will get worse and worse.
She looked the cause up on the internet and it said -- Many dermatologists (skin experts) believe that abnormalities in the facial blood vessels may be a major contributory factor for rosacea. This may help to explain the symptoms of flushing, persistent redness, and visible blood vessels. However, it is not know what causes the blood vessels to become inflamed.
Another friend says there are lots of things about skin mites causing it.
Finally another friend says she should have intense pulsed light treatment and said to look at something called pulse light treatment

Well here is a picture of the pier that has been closed because of a dispute between the council and the owner, everyone says the council are wrong.
If the pier was in the South of England and not Wales, perhaps it would not be left closed?

A scorcher today, beach was busy again, and down the road in Rhos-on-Sea, it was really busy.
When I was in Llandudno I saw the donkeys walking to the beach at 1 O'clock (1300 hours)
Its great in Llandudno and Colwyn Bay (12 mins apart in a car go down the coast road - not the A 55!).
For the kids there is nothing better than a sandy beach, Punch and Judy (hit the wife and kids and shout "that's the way to do it!" --kids love it! --and here in wales, it is not going to change it if someone says 'that's wife beating, --maybe it is, but maybe it happened 150 years ago when this show was 'on the beach in Llandudno', --- the current Punch and Judy stage and puppets have been working every year since 1860 (established 1860).
The policeman is made into sausages and fed to the crocadile --no moral or nice ending to this show --just reality as it sometimes was ---at least the policeman wasn't made into pies!--(Can anyone remember who did this?-- a vicrorian or edwardian barber with a chair and a cellar underneath) ---I remember --google 'Sweeny Todd'.
OK so now I am going to try to make an image link --if it works you will see a postcard of Colwyn Bay from the 50's

I have not done this before, I think it looks a bit big?
I have put a watermark in the postcard as it was in the attic in a Colwyn Bay shop for the last 50 years.
For anyone who reads Voices of Colwyn Bay --I was going to make a joke that Llandudno has some donkeys and Colwyn Bay has some Ass's --but as most people won't understand it, I won't.
My friend told me about this, they also have a moblog, so sometimes ours are a bit similar.
Yes Moblog is friggin fantastic!!

Hi Everyone, I will get back with another picture soon.-My internet connection is not very googd today!
Did you know you can see both the sunrise over the sea --and the sunset over the sea at Colwyn Bay.
