New Postage Stamp Montages

Showing off my lovely flowers that mum bought for me last weekend!

With Baby L's due date on the other side of this weekend I thought I'd put together a few more postage stamp collections while I had the time! For now, my Etsy shop is is on 'vacation' mode- just to allow ourselves time to adjust to sleepless nights etc. The photos of the newest stamp collections aren't the greatest and will be retaken before being put into my shop but I thought I'd give you a sneak preview! 
One for the Dads- vintage cars! 

Butterflies

Dinosaurs
Can't wait until they go on sale in the Etsy shop? Get in touch by emailing info@kimberleyladd.co.uk

Thanks for reading!

Facts and Figures





our dream beach in Carrickfinn


I am a big fan of facts and figures. Not the sort that appear in the daily mail or the ones the government embellish- the kind of facts and figures that Google tells me.


I have some friends who are AMAZING at telling you to-the-day facts and figures about their lives and I love reading them. At the moment I forget which day it is never mind the date. Birthdays, anniversaries and all other important dates have merged into one- I blame the pregnancy. Sorry in advance family and friends.  


Every time someone visits my blog ( I still hate that word) Google adds it to a list of stats- fear not I know not who you are or where you live but it tells me things that I find fascinating and so I thought I'd share them with you. =) 


In the past day my blog has been viewed in the following countries 



Russia

United States

Germany

Sweden

Ukraine

France

United Kingdom

Georgia

Portugal



To add to that list in the year  people who live in Austria, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Ireland, Thailand and Latvia to name but a few have also viewed my blog. 


I have had the most visitors to my blog in May 2011 and February 2012 (almost identical figures!) I had fewest visitors in February 2010 and September 2011.


Most people access my blog via Facebook but others come via twitter, UK craft blog and Google searches. 


Now. The the best stuff is the stuff they don't tell you for example
- did your viewer mean to visit your blog?
- did they find what they wanted?
- did the same person in Canada click the link to my blog 50 times? 


So. If you are feeling friendly why not tell me a little bit about yourself? You can reply to this post, find me on twitter @kimberleyladd or on  Facebook - I'd love to hear from you!
