Episode 456: Free-For-All Friday #24

August 14, 2015/Judy E Martin/22 Comments

This week has been a little topsy-turvy for me as I have done a couple of night shifts which I don’t usually do. and as a result, have not had as much time as I would have liked to dedicate to my blog. or anyone else’s.

However, despite only having a couple of blogs this week, they are well worth a mention, and definitely worth a visit.

Terri Webster Schrandt This post is a great story which touched my heart.

Yesterday After I have not long been following this blog, but there is so much to see there. I love pretty things and this post is beautiful.

Just a little to tickle your fancy this week!

Happy Friday. 🙂

Episode 448: Free-For-All Friday #23

August 7, 2015/Judy E Martin/12 Comments

Welcome to another Friday Free-For-All.I have got a variety of goodies for you to enjoy this week from handy tips to things of beauty and all sorts in between. It will be very much worth your while to visit these blogs as they have so much more to give.

Jen’s Pen Den Now this post gives some wonderful advice to all of you writers, plus I think it also applies to blogging as well. I am always looking for ways to improve my blog and there is so much to learn, so getting hints and tips from those ‘in the know’ is always a huge bonus!

My OBT This post is absolutely delightful. I think these are so cleverly designed and I covet them all. Thanks so much to Donna from sharing them.

Van By The River I loved this post. as it was something that was so true in my family (Hence the reason I originally left home at 16 to work at a holiday camp)! Van has a wonderful way with words and this was a great post.

Battered Wife Seeking Better Life Isn’t it amazing how so few words can convey so much? This Haiku is very poignant.

Simply Marquessa This was a very fun post that I really enjoyed reading. It just has that little hint of naughtiness to it as well (for those with dirty minds)!

Episode 437. Free-For-All Friday #22

July 31, 2015/Judy E Martin/19 Comments

Friday is here again and I have got some great blogs for you this week. I have not had that much time, but these posts have really caught my eye for various reasons. They are all different but of course have plenty to offer. That is why it is worth visiting as there is so much more to see on their blogs.

Skinny and Single This tongue-in-cheek post made me laugh, probably because I can really relate to it!

Daily Echo Sue is brilliant at these types of poems. and this one set to music is absolutely hilarious! Please also check out her other post here and share if you can.

LindaGHill I am really pleased that Linda is back blogging again after a break, and this post is typical of how the simplest of things can turn into a disaster!

Hummingbird Redemption This post just goes to show how talented Raphaela has always been.

The V-Pub Now this post had me rolling about laughing (I do have a tendency to laugh at inappropriate moments). It is a Tidbit Tuesday post so is a little ….personal!

Hope you enjoy these as much as I did,

Happy Friday all! 🙂

Episode 431: Addicted to Blogging!

July 26, 2015/Judy E Martin/31 Comments

This weekend I’ve been very busy

Helping out on a great magazine

Writing a few wacky stories

Plus a few odds & sods in-between

So my blog has been rather neglected

I have not posted as much as I might

I am still catching up with some reading

Before I even decide what to write!

I love the great interaction

That I get from my blog family

Seeing what everyone’s up to

And sharing what is happening with me.

So it back to some blogging this evening

As I can’t bear to miss just one day

I know it sounds like addiction

But it’s better than cigs, anyway!

Episode 422: Allergic To The Letter ‘E’ Challenge: 2nd Go!

July 19, 2015/Judy E Martin/25 Comments

I have been nominated by the wonderful Erika to take part in this challenge. If you have not yet been over to her blog, you are really missing out as she has so much to share. Everything from inspirational quotes to uplifting songs and a bit of sexiness as well!

The rules:

Write a whole paragraph (a paragraph sounds easy right?)
Without any word containing the letter “e” (still easy for ya?)
By reading this you are already signed up.
Challenge at least five bloggers to do the challenge.

Oh this is fun! I must summon up a paragraph which is going to hurt, I think! My poor brain cannot stand the strain of it. I might just rabbit on and on about nothing (as normal) and it may just amount to the paragraph I must muster up! Oh God, what a rubbish post this is, sorry!

Well, that was tricky! I think I will nominate the following people to have a go!

Have fun!

Free-For-All-Friday # 20

July 17, 2015/Judy E Martin/23 Comments

I cannot believe this is the 20th week of my Friday-Free-For All. I have got some wonderful posts again, I am pleased to say. Please try to visit these wonderful blogs as you will be so glad you did. There is so much more there for you to enjoy.

Decoding Happiness This blog is one that I have not been following for long, which us a shame as I have been missing out! Himali is one of the nicest people you could wish to meet. This poem is just beautiful.

Chris The Story Reading Ape’s Blog Chris has always got loads of wonderful things on his blog, but this post was one that certainly resonated with me.

Author Carole Parks This was a beautiful and poignant post, which certainly brought a lump to my throat.

Wafflemethis This post by Rich made me re-consider the way I had thought about something that we all strive to have it seems

A Momma’s View This is another post that I could identify with. One of the problems of the age we live in.

Sacha Black Sacha and her motley crew (well I can think of at least 2 reprobates), have lined up a fantastic meeting on August 1st. Sadly I won’t be able to make it but I will be following it on Twitter and Facebook to see what they all get up to. I have also cast my vote, and invite you to do the same!

So there you have my blogtastic posts for this hot and sunny weekend. Have a happy Friday!

Free-For-All Friday #19

July 10, 2015/Judy E Martin/21 Comments

Fridays are coming around so quickly it seems at the moment and here we are will into July, and the midst of a beautiful summer.

I have some wonderful blogs to share with you this week, that will make your Friday even better! There is a mixed bag of goodies as usual,some funny, some inspirational, but of course, all brilliant in their own way. Please check out these blogs if you have not already done so, as you really don’t want to miss out on some of the other posts that they have written!

10 Years A Single Mom A heartfelt and heartwarming post from a loving mother. This blog is all about spreading the love!

John D Eccles This post did make me laugh. I like the style it is written in, and the self-deprecating humour. The poor hapless husband, who tries hard!

Fill Your Own Glass The lovely and wise Karen has written a great post here which, although makes lots of sense, many of us still do not put it into practice.

Little Miss Menopause This post, although not on Stephanie’s actual blog, was written by her for an online article. It is a beautiful story of a real act of love.

Runaway Nuns And Leprechauns A fun post that I really enjoyed. so cute!

So there is a small selection for you to get stuck into and enjoy!

Happy Friday! 🙂

Free-For-All Friday: #18

July 3, 2015/Judy E Martin/13 Comments

It’s Friday!! We are in the midst of a heatwave over in the good old UK, so it’s hot, hot, hot!

I have found a few great blogs for you to peruse this week (unfortunately, time has been a bit limited so there are not as many as I would like). I still have 2 wonderful stories for you, one hilarious experience we can all relate to, and a very witty observation.

Smorgasbord. This was really beautiful and touching story, that was told in such a wonderful way, it really came to life.

Homemade Naturally As you know I love a bit of Flash Fiction and I thought this was a clever take on the photo prompt!

Barrow Blogs This post form one of Judith’ s Creative Writing students had me wiping the tears from my eyes with laughter. It is something most of us can relate to as well.

Dandelion Fuzz This list is very funny and observational. I love Kat’s style of writing and sense of humour.

So there you have a few little treasures to unearth over the weekend. All of these blogs are worth checking out as they each have so much more to them than the posts I have chosen for this week.

Happy Friday!

Free-For-All Friday #17

June 26, 2015/Judy E Martin/16 Comments

Welcome to Friday! It’s a lovely day, the weekend is coming and I have some wonderful blogs to share with you. I have a mixed bag of treats for you this week. Everything from the silly to the sublime.

Kyrosmagica This was a wonderful take on one of the challenges that is going around at the moment. A funny and creative effort that I really enjoyed.

Heels And A Toolbox I have been following Vanessa’s blog right from when I first started. She gets up to all sorts of things, and always has a project on the go! This post however, is a little different to what you would expect, but an honest and heartfelt tribute.

Little Steps To Somewhere I have not been following this blog for very long, but I really enjoyed this post. It is light-hearted and funny and celebrates a little triumph that many of us can relate to!

I Refuse To Follow Your Blog Now this post looks at something from a totally different perspective, and rightly honours those that really deserve it.

The Write Place I love a bit of Flash Fiction, even though I can’t do it myself, I am still impressed at some of the creative stories that people come up with by just a photo prompt or a song title etc. This one is a brilliant example of how a great story can be told with so few words.

So there you have it. Please check these blogs out if you haven’t already as they are all wonderful and have lots to offer.

Have a happy Friday!

Friday Free-for-All: #15

June 19, 2015/Judy E Martin/15 Comments

It’s Friday already, and time to share some more wonderful posts that have caught my eye over the last week. By the way, If anyone else wants to share something that they have particularly enjoyed, then by all means leave a link and we can go to check it out. This week I have some great thoughts on different topics for you to ponder over.

Lilypupslife This blog is written by Lily who is living and coping with Bipolar. This post I thought really interesting as it is good to know what others think about things.

Reflections. This is another great post giving advice. I use this programme myself (not to its fullest potential as I do not understand it completely yet, but another read of this post should sort me out)!

Tales From The Family Crypt This is when truth really is stranger than fiction – but is it ‘too good to be true’

A Prompt Reply. There has been a challenge going around which has provoked some wonderful posts. I really liked this one as I have had first-hand experience of the effects!

Aimer Boyz This is a blog that I have recently started following, I really like. We definitely have a similar sense of humour!

So there you have your little weekly treat. Enjoy and have a very happy Friday!
