I am launching this site to go with our Bloggy Girls Club on Facebook.
I will be working on it in my "spare time" and hope to get it up & running where it should be within a couple of weeks! :-)

A Moment of Silence...

I am one of the many craft, cooking, lifestyle and DIY bloggers who had posts to share with you today, but the events of Friday's shooting in Connecticut have left us heartbroken. Like you, we cried as news reports poured in and wondered out loud about how something so cruel could hurt the most innocent and tender. We not only grieved for the lives lost and wounded, but for that part of the magic and wonder of this holiday season that was taken from us all. We know that no words, no gifts, no acts of service will ever take away the pain, but we, as bloggers and parents collectively, want those affected by this to know how close to our hearts they are: We love you. We pray for you. We're so heartbroken for your loss. To honor the memory of lives cut short, we choose to step away from our blogs and computers today to celebrate the gift of life and those we love most: our children, families, good friends and community. We're holding our kids a little closer, reaching out to neighbors and giving thanks for the moments we have together. Thank you for stopping by today. We hope you'll join us in remembering, praying, and gathering close. We wish you and your families a safe and blessed holiday."

Free Christmas Graphics! (Twinkling Lights)

   Hello, I'm The Merry Lurker.

   I posted some free Christmas graphics on my site, and wanted to share them with the Bloggy Girl's Club. They'll work on Blogger, Wordpress, or anything else you want to post them on. All you have to do is copy the code from the box, and paste it where you want it. Just like grabbing a button!

For your blog...
You'll need the HTML code. If you're adding it to a post, make sure that you paste it on the "HTML" tab instead of the "Compose" tab, or else it will just show plain text.
For forum signatures or posts...
Use the FORUM code. Most forums use "BB code" for posts and signatures, which is what I put in the FORUM box. Once in a blue moon, a forum will use HTML for posts & sigs instead of BB code, so if the FORUM code doesn't work for you, try copy/pasting the HTML code instead.
Feeling nerdy?
The DIRECT LINK code provides a raw link to the image, with no strings attached. You'll have to write your own code, but if you know how, you can add it to BB code, HTML, or whatever other odd thing accepts image urls. DIRECT LINK is also useful for forum avatars. Some forums have an option that lets you link to an image for your avatar. If you want to use one of these images for that purpose, the DIRECT LINK is the one you need. (Hint: Double-check direct links to make sure that the "HTTP://" part isn't entered twice!)

Merry Christmas!
