Check me out!
One cream sheet, some old scarves, a pair of scissors, a head band and Lil Man’s sword! No sewing needed!
Of course she’s a tomboy so she wanted the weapon, but hey, not too bad eh!

Just a quick one…
I has taken me 3 days (and still counting) to upload all my Helsinki photos to Microsoft Onedrive and also to Dropbox.
Why am I doing both?
Onedrive is best for my PC and Surface.
Dropbox is for sharing the link with my family.
But…
Onedrive is rubbish with its uploading and it took over 24 hours to initially upload.
Then when it was done, I very cleverly moved the file to Dropbox. Yes, you read that right. Moved, instead of Copied.
So I was left with no Helsinki photos in Onedrive!
Then I looked at my Dropbox, and it had created a PC folder with all the photos and videos, but not uploaded to the server. So the links I had smugly sent to the family contained 4 photos instead of 619!
That was yesterday. When I tried to upload them all together, it told me it would take 7 days. 7 DAYS!!!
I now am sat here manually uploading each file… 38 videos to go…
At least I managed to get the Onedrive ones sorted.
But OMG! How frustrating!
And I bet there is an easier way to do all this, but I am so not tech-savvy that I won’t have thought of it!

It is less than a week to go, and I am so excited, I just can’t explain myself… heck, I can’t contain myself! I am driving my family nuts as they can’t understand why I am so excited to meet a bunch of strangers, as they see it, but I don’t think that, I think more that we are a blogily and each and every one of you that I interact with are special people!
I will be meeting people, not just bloggers. People who have become part of my daily life, and some who have become so close to me that I couldn’t even imagine them not being there now. There are many who can’t be there for various reasons, but hey, lets be positive… there is always next year!
Many thanks to Sacha Black and her team for organising such an amazing event! The Official page for the awards is here.
Ali Isaac, another organiser has the agenda and the Who’s Who on this post.
The Lovely Geoffles has given us amazing directions – if you think you will get lost, click here. He has even organised special tee-shirts for those who wanted one, check em out here!
The last (but not least!) member of the committee is Hugh, who is listed as Chief Entertainer! I know he has had much more to do with the organisation, but on the day he will be capturing the event with his camera! Check his blog out here.
To cast your votes for all categories, (including a sneaky one for my blog) click here.
Voting is open until Thursday 9th June at 12pm.
There is a Facebook Group you can join where all the winners will be announced on the day if you can’t be with us, click here to check it out!
To end this little ramble, I have tweaked the lyrics to We Are Family by Sister Sledge – now titled We Are Blogily!
You need to click on the youTube link and then sing along with the new words!
