OMG I don't know - I have a lot of photos from the Carnival of Flowers and some of Spring Bluff and different beautiful places around town - you can tell I am new to Toowoomba hey? I take a lot of bird pics too - some are very nice - also wild life, lizards etc. My husband Eric is a bird nut - he knows so much about birds it is amazing! Wildlife in general too - I keep a blog which I have been very slack about too, Grandma's Knitting Place on blogger - lots of flowers, birds, sunsets, knitting etc !!!!! LOL!!! http://www.grandmasknittingplace.blogspot.com if you care to take a peek.
I belong to lots of knitting and crochet groups world wide - and have a host of internet friends from all over the world. - I am interested in tracing my family's origins on Genes Re-United too.

I am also very talkative - roflmao - as you no doubt have gathered by now!

what about a recipe exchange? Have a special day for Recipes, another for Home Remedies or a competition for a great photo - pick a subject perhaps?

Or have a day for talking about hobbies? Regards

Yvette

Hi Yvette

Sure it is okay to post about your blog. Start another here if you have the time.

I will share your discussion with everyone so that may help.

At the moment we don't have recurring events but the techs are working on this so hopefully it's not too far away.

If you have any suggestions for getting Toowoomba Talk more active I am very interested.
