But first a quote…
My Shout Out(s) this week go to….
1. Donna’s Best Blogging Tips
My friend Donna at Retirement Reflections, posted this great roundup of blogging tips last week and even if you’re a seasoned blogger I believe you can always learn new things. As always the comments are just as helpful, as Donna has asked her readers to share their best blogging tips – I know I found a few new things I didn’t know before!
Here’s Donna’s post: Best Blogging Tips
Have you any tips you can add to her list? If so pop over and add a comment.
2. A new and creative focus – Dottie Wombat
I have to declare my interest here – Melanie from Dottie Wombat is my daughter! As I’m such a proud mum I’m more than happy to share her new project with you all. She lives in England and I’m in Australia, so anything I can do to help her is a bonus – isn’t that what mums do?
The best thing about Melanie’s project is the fact that she donates £1 from every sale to Bliss Charities due to her (and our family’s) gratitude to Bliss for all they did to help her out when Dottie was born so early.
You can find Dottie Wombat on Etsy here: Dottie Wombat on Etsy
Welcome to Dottie Wombat where you will find prints with a mixture of typography, watercolour, simple styles, gorgeous colours combos and a strong helping of dots for your kids room, nursery, home styling or a gift for a loved one.
Our current collection can be found and purchased on our Etsy shop https://etsy.me/3kRWd6o or get in touch direct on here if you’d like to purchase or want a custom order.
Dottie_Wombat is here on Instagram
As Melanie says: A mixture of typography, watercolour, simple styles, cute colours combos & a big helping of dots and £1 from every order goes to @blisscharity
What’s not to love?
When the borders open
My daughter tagged me in this meme the other day and I must admit I laughed a bit too much 😄 It helps if you ‘get’ the Aussie classic Kath and Kim humour.
Care to share??
Are you keen to share something? I hope so – all you have to do is leave a comment or a link!
Has someone done something nice for you, have you witnessed a random act of kindness, have you read something interesting or watched a good movie lately?
Anything really – it’s over to you!
As always, feel free to share and get the word out there #ShoutoutSaturday
Thanks again for all your support, it’s much appreciated.
Deb 🙂

Hi, Deb – Thank you so much for the shoutout, That was actually a collaborative post (written by me, but ideas actively stolen from my blogging buddies!). 😀 I’ve learned heaps from the comments and look forward to experimenting with the suggestions. I also checked out the Dottie Wombat site — gorgeous!
My shoutout this week is to Leanne and Marsha for reminding us to savour the high notes. https://tchistorygal.net/2020/09/23/your-midlife-symphony-the-proactive-way-to-avoid-irrelevance-and-invisibility/
Wishing you an awesome weekend.

I know what good work bliss does here in Bristol. It is a super charity. I have been working on a collaborative post with other bloggers on the best day trips from Bristol. Cheddar gets a mention. I contributed Salisbury.

Thanks so much Anne! I’ve been over and had a lovely stroll down memory lane with all the fabulous day trips mentioned. I did leave a comment but I’m not sure if it’s been recorded (I hope it’s just waiting to be approved as it was quite a long and detailed comment!). I loved all the places mentioned and have shared 🙂 I don’t know when we will be able to travel to see our daughter in Cheddar again 😦

Hi Deb, I am bookmarking Donna’s blogging tips. Many gems. I will check out Melanie’s project. I have already seen how she has inherited some of her Mom’s amazing creativity. I have also started following dottie_wombat on Instagram. The “did I just roll my eyes out loud?” Made me smile.
I thought about your “shout out” and my first thought this week is how exceptionally thankful I am for my sister. She is not at all on social media or on any public site. She works full time, has a family and she cares full time for my elderly, fragile, ill Mother. No words to truly describe my gratitude. I love this weekly series, Deb.❤️

Hi Erica, lovely to hear from you. Thanks for your kind words about Melanie’s new project, she is very clever but I’m not sure I can take the credit!
I am glad you enjoy my series and thanks for sharing your thoughts about your lovely sister. I’m sure she is very lucky to have you as her sister as well, how could she not be?? Thanks for your support xx
