Six word Saturday: Artwork by the amazing Tessa Edwards
.
.
You are looking at this fantastic "logo" to be displayed proudly by residents of Blogland Lane. Once your house is set up, it's yours to add to your side bar just as you would a special award.
.
Isn't it just beautiful? I asked Tessa if she would design an insignia or logo for Blogland Lane. This is what she lovingly came up with. And isn't she just beautiful? If you haven't visited Tessa's blog and salivated over her photos, poems, travelogues, essays, and her most amazing paintings, you're in for a treat. You can find her at http://aerialarmadillo.blogspot.com/
.
Thank you so much, Tessa. It is amazing. I know I've said the word "amazing" three times now, but that's because that's what you are.
.
Other news: Debra Kay will be setting up a Blogland Lane blog that will allow multiple authors to post on it. That seems to be a great way for us Blogland Lane neighbors to share and care. Debra Kay said the blog can only accept a mximum of 100 authors, so that got me thinking that perhaps we should limit the neighborhood to 100 of us for now, for this and perhaps some other good reasons, emotional and logistical manageability being two more.
.
What you do think of that? in other words, once we hit 100 neighbors, we pause and stop until we collectively figure out what next. (Note: it's not my intention to arbitarily make decisions for the neighborhood, but I figure some decisions are best made, until it becomes clearer how the happy land of Blogland Lane will work. )
.
Meanwhile, won't it be just great to visit a blog and see the logo of Blogland Lane proudly visable?
.
Happy weekend, everybody.
xoxo
I love the saturated colors on that. I'll put that up when I fidn the energy to build, I promise.
ReplyDeleteTsup*!* Tessa did a wonderful job - a rainbow Blogland Lane. Should we link it to the Blogland Lane blog that Debra Kay is setting up? Perhaps Blogger has made the decision for us with a cap of 100*!*
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday ...
cs, if you need help in building your house, help can be had. :)
ReplyDeleteannie, i think debra kay needs each of our email addresses but the best bet is to wait abit and she'll fill us in.

Our Blogland Lane
ReplyDeleteGlobal Community ROCKS!
marion, it leaves me speechless. so much potential to create and have fun in so many ways. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi kj I have moved in! Didn't take as long as i thought it would - imagination is a fast mover.
ReplyDeleteYou where right about your firend s blog I liked a lot one that start with a quote about simplicity and a fantastic painting drawn. Txs for sharing. I think is a good idea your blog lane, I was thinking if you should for example all be artist, or all be bloging about their life, or poets, or just if they could be anything, discuss that with your friends.
ReplyDeletetake care
Hey kj! I have set up residence at 543 Blogland Lane. My home is shown at this post.
ReplyDeleteI will cry if I'm too late to be included in the community of 100! I assume I'm safe because you'll probably put up a closed sign or something when you hit that number. Maybe it should be 200?!
The logo is truly impressive. I love it.
this is fabadabadoo....
ReplyDeleteand i think that should be our word/logo/ 'for a life of love, neighbourliness, fun, safety and peace - come to blogland lane. fabadabadoo!'
i am definitely one of that hundred for sure, and when the blog is up, could we all put in our posts about our houses again, as i have lost count and touch with them all and wanna visit everyone to say 'hi' and 'fabadabadoo to you all'...
Happy Birthday Mayor of Blogland Lane...you and Lo are almost 'twins'..no wonder you are so alike, caring, thoughtful and loving, and I LOVE YOU!
my first course in BL is gonna be on 'how to love thy neighbour in a fabadabadoo way'. what do you think? i will work on the outline of my course this weekend and let you have it ms mayor...after you get over your hangover from the boifday..can i aks the number?
Wonderful logo!!! Tessa is a real artist!!! It makes me smile looking at it and I will put in on my sidebar immediately. Blogland Lane forever!
ReplyDeletefirst course now available on blogland lane
ReplyDeletethis is indeed a beautiful logo. Now, am I already included in the 100 since I have my moveable tent? I think I'd like to grab a permanent spot of land for my tent now, if there are any spots left. #65 if it is still open. Or really any plot that hasnt been taken is okay.
ReplyDeleteI love it...
ReplyDeletenow where did I leave my house... oh that's right it hasn't been built yet.
Maybe I'll just pitch a tent in a lovely garden.
love to you
Ribbon :)
The logo is stunning, and yes..amazing!! The whole Blogland Lane is amazing. You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteThere, I said it 3 times too ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ON THE 8TH!!!!!!!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
lololo
ATTENTION ATTENTION !! First shop is open now at Blogland Lane 100. Champagne is waiting for you. Come and see!
ReplyDeleteTessa's art is always incredible! I'd be honored to post this on my sidebar.
ReplyDeleteMy humble little cottage on Blogland Lane pales in comparison to the others, I'm afraid. I guess I've learned not to dream big. But on the other hand, I guess it's a blessing to be happy with simple things, right?
Love and hugs, dear neighbor,
Angela
Yes, your blog logo is beautiful.
ReplyDelete"police on blogland lane! do you think that's necessary? so far we all seem stable and congenial."
Well, I don't know. Let me put it this way. Some of the stable ones aren't as congenial as some of the congenial ones who aren't as stable as some of the stable ones. Besides, if everyone is so congenial and stable, what do you plan to do for work--drive into the city each day?
"i suppose the first conflict will be around duplicate house numbers!"
There you have it. First come arguments over duplicate numbers, then someone fails to return a teaspoon of borrowed sugar, and, bang, you're down to sirens in the night.
"anyway, are you volunteering to be the police dept? because if you're interested, i think you could just be the judge and that would save a whole step."
Oh, my God! What are we talking about here? You, as mayor (or, at least, founding mother), keep all the tax money while I change back and forth between my blue uniform and my black robe all day? Next, you'll be suggesting that I also be the prison guard. I'm filing suit!
Beeeeeuteeeful!
ReplyDeletePerfect logo,,,love it!
ReplyDeleteIs it time to add it to our sidebar yet?
I'll just be here awaiting further instructions,,,and wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY (!)
And chuckling @ Snowbrush.

Happy Birthday KJ - another Leo!~ I am the 14th, and I roar on that day for sure.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we should set a date for final inclusion in Blogland Lane? as opposed to 100 numbers? allows those last minute people to come in - or not as the case may be.
Sedona is gorgeous - drew a wonderful Miss Em on the way out, my sister is writing text for it now! The Stella Sisters rock also.
Have a wonderful vaca!
I really love that logo, KJ, it is beautiful. Makes me wanna move in asap. In 10 hours time a post will appear on my blog http://pieterbie.skynetblogs.be proposing a beach house for on the beach at the end of Blogland Lane.
ReplyDeleteI hope that qualifies me for citizenship :-)
I guess building in a limitation is not a bad idea.
Excellent. 100 Authors! Are there that many of us? Great idea. I like Soulbrush's idea as well. I'm still not sure I've caught up with all the neighbours and would really like to. kj, you can be Mayor! And my lovely, it's the 9th here so just snuck in early enough to wish you happy birthay ah no I'm not, I'm 18 minutes too late! Hope it was a good one.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE !!!!!!!!!!

OOOOH ! I would love to have a place here too...Is there still room?
ReplyDeleteOMIGOSH-that Logo is beyond wonderful-so vibrant~
ReplyDeleteBlogland Lane is now a blog of its own
http://blogland.lane.blogspot.com
If you send an e-mail from the account you want to use to sign in, I'll set you up as an author.
blogland.lane@sbcglobal.net
You'll get an e-mail inviting you to be an author-which means you can either make new posts there, or come in and set up links to your own blog.
I'm hoping that it will let you change the masthead and have full edit priveleges-that was my vision but we'll just have to see since I'm far too lazy to read the instructions.
Hi kj - I've moved in now and I just LOVE it in Blogland Lane - looking forward to visiting everyone and welcoming all to my new place at No 7984
ReplyDeletehttp://carolinesstudio.blogspot.com/2009/08/blogland-lane.html
I just set up my house at 53A right next door to Annie Bimbimie. I'm going right over to Debra Kay and see about linking there too.
