Its free and I figure anything free should be taken advantage of!
I asked Claire she will be happy to look at them we just need to get them to her - I looked at the covers the logo the perfect Christmas stuffing is good but shouldn't it be a turkey being stuffed with books and parachments rolled up with red ribbons? After all, who ever heard of stuffing a Christmas Tree?

If they don't want to do the work find another charity! How about Cancer Research, or the Heart Foundation or Childline?
Darkangel wrote: "Hmmm not get notifications again!"No me neither I get one every so often!
I contacted other charities, including chidline and of the 3 or 4 a emailed only barnardos answered. To tell the truth I'm in two minds with doing it or a charity! Might as well sell it for free, we aren't expecting any money anyways... between the tax nonsense and how fussy they are with the logo!!!....urgh!

never mind, I'll fill out the form and get the money straight to them. Just ike I was going to do before. It was my idea, I'll give my detais

Is 'Lulu' English or American?"
We may have more problems when I tried to enlarge the picture for Claire it pixelates! Which means Ella may not have used Hi Res images and will cause a problem when printed!

I've no idea what you just said! That just sounded like mumble jumble to me. Lulu is american. What if we just make it an ebook, would the cover still be a problem?

Lulu as in the self publishing site? If so it's international as far as I know

hm! Authorhouse has the red alert for scam...
Hmmm, mine was back in 2007. I have never been treated bad, but their prices are extreme. I have to admit, I have sold quite a few though.

Pixelate is when you enlarge a photo and it breaks up into squares, try enlarging the covers and you'll see what I mean. My book cover was done in house by the publishers and I think the cover on an e book has to be of a certain size too.
Glad you liked the cupcake recipes I get loads every day both sweet and savoury.Recipes not cup cakes!

I asked Claire if using the covers would cause a problem when printed, as soon as she replies I will let you know. I'm making stew for supper to counteract the horrible weather here!
Trisha wrote: "Is everyone having a good day?"Sorry Trisha I went AOL - dreaded chore of the week - shopping for food! It's cassoulet time of year too, white beans cooked in a tomato and herb sauce with pices of pork, chunks of bacon,garlic sausages, smoked sausages, duck portions,garlic and onions all topped with cubes of bread topped with goose fat or butter to turn them lovely and golden. Very filling, and warming too and very French!

Morning its still dark here, and for the moment it's not raining but give it time though it rained all night!
Morning, still pretty dark here and dry at the moment. Leaving at 3.30pm today.
Darkangel wrote: "Morning, still pretty dark here and dry at the moment. Leaving at 3.30pm today."Sorry no notifications again and I got Geraldine on the phone telling me all about stray Romanian dogs a subject which holds absolutely no interest for me whatsoever! I am not volunteering to help or to take a dog neither.
I think you have enough with your two little dogs as it is - lol
Darkangel wrote: "I think you have enough with your two little dogs as it is - lol"More than enough, she tried to rope me in to make dog coats for spanish greyhounds - in her dreams Alain is lucky if I shorten his jeans within the year. She's got Bob Hope! And then she tried to rope Sophie in to doing a car boot next year on a Saturday, as I pointed out Sophie goes riding Saturday morning, maybe if she were saving horses Sophie would be more interested!

Have you decided what cakes you're baking tonight?
Carrot Cake, Chocolate cupcakes with pink strawberry frosting (got to put the ping in there somewhere for teh breastcancer) and toffee cookies
Darkangel wrote: "Carrot Cake, Chocolate cupcakes with pink strawberry frosting (got to put the ping in there somewhere for teh breastcancer) and toffee cookies"are you making the cone cakes and then icing them pink?
No, not this time, will attempt them when I have more time. Plus I would have to go shopping to get the ingrediants. I have the ingrediants for the others I mentioned.
