Is anyone else having issues with Blogger? I can't log into or join any challenge blogs and I can't often save my changes to my sidebar. When I refresh my dashboard it often says I'm not following any blogs and I have to keep refreshing the page. Would love to know if anyone has had any of these problems and fixed them as it's so frustrating.

Home is where the heart is (Bugaboo image)

Hi everyone,

Hehe, I made this for my sister as her and her boyfriend have just bought a house together. I didn't want to make the card too girly as it was for him as well but it seems I went a little too boyish in the end so I haven't given it to her.

I love this image from Bugaboo though, how cute are they? My ribbon went a little askew while taking the photo and I didn't notice until now, I've since fixed it but it's too late to take another photo.
