Two Things

Firstly, I want to thank all those of you who added a hug to my doll (previous entry).  It was so lovely to see all the names and read all the messages.

However, I do want to make it clear that I did not put my link on in order to induce people to go there.  I was using my link purely as an example of what these dolls look like and what can be done with them.  You make the doll yourself and there are many different phrases which you can add.

I wanted to feature the site because I think it is a brilliant idea,  that you can create something special for a loved one, friend or neighbour whilst also donating to charity through the sponsor of the site.

Anyway, I was touched by all those of you who went to my doll and left a message.  I do hope that those of you who know someone who has had bc or has been diagnosed will use the site to make them something special.

Secondly, I would like to point out an important change.  Many of you will know that Chuck passed away  - he wrote in J-Land for four years and was very popular.  Because of this I contacted our dear friend Sugar and asked if his name could be added to the J-Land Remembers graphic that she created for me just last week.   Sugar had to change the colour slightly and then added Chuck's name.

So I deleted the old graphic from my sidebar and put on the new one which now bears Chuck's name.

Please feel free to snag this new, updated tribute from my sidebar or, if you prefer, I can send it to you.  Do not forget to save it to your computer as a gif file so that the animation is not lost.

I have also added a posting on J-Land Angels (link on my sidebar under favourite sites).

Thank you.

P.S.  If any of you have not been getting alerts for my postings please let me know.  I have already taken the matter up with journals editor and the team have checked and said alerts are working on my journal yet I am still getting people telling me they did not receive an alert.  If you are not getting them please let me know and I can forward this information on.

Hi Jeannette, I have been so far behind with you and I'm so sorry. Catching up here. I'm sorry you lost your friend Chuck. I did not know him, but I saw him mentioned in other journals. I am sorry I didn't know him because if you all liked him I'm sure he was great. May he rest in peace.
Hope you have a good weekend. Thanks for visiting my little journal.
Hugs..Pam xoxox

Well done on adding Chuck to the graphic.  I didn't know him but I wish I had, it seems everyone adored him.  I am off to check out the doll site you mention.

I hadn`t heard about Chuck Jeannette, that is very sad. I know he will be remembered in JLand with much fondness.

Love Sandra xxxx

I thought that the doll was a wonderful idea and very thoughtful of Mike, but i couldnt leave a message.

I was so very sorry to hear about Chuck he was such a wonderful man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Such a lovely thing for you to do also

I only receive alerts for three journals.  I have set and reset them to no avail.  I no longer get alerts when people comment in my journal either, even after resetting it.  When I went to my journal this morning, a large part of it is MISSING!  ::sigh::

Blessings!~
