Dizzy has been such a lucky Dizzy this weekend! Firstly, the lovely Elaine, who is so incredibly talented, painted this wonderful image of Dizzy for our logo. We love it so much, and Dizzy looks as happy as she does in the logo when she looks at it. 🙂
Also a big thank you to Sid for helping to make the logo look exactly how we wanted it to. 🙂
Dizzy also now has her own bags to carry her ginger nut biscuits in! One WAS for Dizzy’s books, and one for Dizzy’s bits and bobs, but so far she’s insisted that we use them for our trips to the supermarket, to put her ginger nut biscuits in. I think all these wonderful paintings of her are going to her head. She’s being an even more stubborn than usual Dizzy! 😀
And when there’s not biscuits in them, there seems to be donkeys in them! 🙂
What were you up to this weekend? I hope it was as good as Dizzy’s. 🙂 xxx
Loving the new logo, It’s very cute! 😍 My weekend went by in a blur but involved a lot of inspiration for blog posts so it was a useful blur 😂❤️
Thank you Elsie! x And useful blur doesn’t sound too bad! 🙂 I’ll look forward to reading your blog posts that have been inspired by it. 🙂 xxx
I love your new logo. It looks great. Dizzy’s bags are awesome too. She looks so very happy. I had a lovely weekend too. I had help in the garden with digging then a gardening friend for lunch yesterday. Perfect. Taking time out after this week. XX 🌼
Thank you Brigid. Dizzy loves her new logo and bags! She’s been a very happy looking Dizzy all weekend. 🙂 x And that sounds a lovely way to have spent the weekend. I hope you are having a lovely week too. 🙂 xxx
I am thrilled you are selling those bags. Definitely on my list. X
I’m glad you love the logo! I love those bags too! Dizzy is very creative! Xxxx
Dizzy is such a creative little donkey! But we couldn’t have done it without your help. 🙂 xxxx
Aww, Dizzy’s new logo is cute.
I pulled a lot of weeds and did work around the house, while I go back and forth with my illustrator.
Thank you! We do love the new logo. 🙂 x And that sounds like a busy weekend! But sounds like you got lots done. 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely start to the week. 🙂 xxx
Hmmm, I see a marketing op here for you to gather a bit of extra $$$$. I would definitely buy a few of those bags for myself and friends/family – hint, hint.
Aww, thanks Laura. We are thinking of doing a little Dizzy shop. If all goes to plan it should be ‘open’ in the next couple of weeks. 🙂 I’ve told Dizzy not to get her hopes up to much, not everyone might want to see her little face all the time!! 🙂 xxx
yay! looking forward to dizzy distribution!
🙂 xxx
Wonderful logo and nice bag design.
Agreed!! 🤗
Thank you. 🙂 xxx
I love the logo and the bags! As Laura said above, I can definitely see buying some of those adorable bags.😊
Thank you Terri! Me and Dizzy are so happy with the logo! 🙂 And we are thinking of maybe making a little Dizzy shop sometime in the near future. 🙂 x Hope you’re having a wonderful week. xx
love your new logo and the bag is darling!
Aww, thank you! 🙂 xxx
Great stuff here Heather and Dizzy! Wonderful logo and bags! 😀
Thank you Christy! 🙂 xxx
Hey, how ya doin? I like the new look. Very nice and the logo is cute. Elaine is very good at what she does. I resigned up for your blog posts since I’ve been missing them. My iPad must be showing it’s age.😫
Thank you! And for signing up again. It’s more likely to be us! We’ve moved over to self hosting and a few people haven’t been seeing our posts since. No idea why. :/ x And I’m good thanks, how have you been? 🙂 xxx
Good, thanks. How’s the violin coming?
It was going well, but then it all seemed to go wrong last week! Am getting there slowly though. Still on the open strings but I am now able to do more than before, and I think my beats are mostly in time now. 🙂 xxx
Coll
Great quote about the storm!
Thank you. 🙂 I love it too! xxx
I love your new logo! Your blog is getting better. ❤️
Thank you so much Winnie! We love our new logo. 🙂 xxx
You’re welcome! I love it too! ❤️
Great stuff! i love the new Dizzy logo .
Thank you Anne. 🙂 xxx
I love the new logo and when I first saw that green circle with the cute Dizzy in the middle I thought to myself “how did I miss this before?” Aha … it is new. Very cute … you’re right, Dizzy’s head will be in the clouds now!
Hehe, you hadn’t missed it. We do really love it, but yes, Dizzy is getting a big head. 🙂 xxx
Well, not everyone has their own painting and logo. I’ve been around a lot longer than Dizzy and never had any of those nice things. 🙂
I’ve never had them either. I do sometimes wonder where my paintings are… 🙂 Hehe. x
Love the logo! And the bags are awesome. Be sure you don’t accidentally give away a donkey in one of them.
Thank you! And I’ll have to tell the donkeys not to hide in any, otherwise they could end up in a new home! 🙂 xxx
You’re welcome! No worries, they’d be welcome here 😉
New logo is great!!!!
Thank you! 🙂 xxx
Everyone needs a book bag! Mine is stuffed with my emergency supplies, epi pens, water bottles, ID’s, phone, my medical records, flash light, books, tablet, and carry treats to eat on the way!
Woah, your book bag sounds like it has everything you could possible need in it! I’m like that with my bags too though. They just fill up so fast with stuff. 🙂 xxx
Fabulous logo & such a cute bag (who doesn’t love bags?) – I can see why Dizzy is so happy!! 🙂
Caz xx
Thank you Caz. 🙂 xxx
Absolutely love it.
Thank you. 🙂 xxx
the bags are so cute. I really want one. I bet they cost heaps to print though. Dizzy makes my day. I saw real donkeys actually a few days ago at the show.
Thank you. We will be having a little dizzy shop soon! Not with many things, but some of our little bags. 🙂 Aww, donkeys are so cute! how many were at the show? xxx
Ooo a dizzy shop. I would like to know how to set up a shop. Which host are you with? Having a bit of a struggle deciding whether to stay with WordPress or not as I’m not tech savvy at all and I want the option of an online store too. Any advice would be appreciated. I can send you a pic if you like. There were two. I love donkeys, horses and zebras.
I’ll keep you updated! 🙂 It won’t be open for a couple of weeks, and I’m spending next week sorting it all out. I’ve found two plugins which look good, so it’s just deciding between them. 🙂 Host wise I’m with Bluehost and I haven’t had any issues with them. x And I would love to see a photo of the donkeys! 🙂 xxx
Yea. I’m having the same issue with plugins. Is Bluehost powered by WordPress?
It is! 🙂 I know a few people who use it and they all seem quite happy with it. 🙂 xxx
Have just replied to your email, so hopefully it has come through to you ok! 🙂 xxx
What plug in are you using and is it free? Is there a limit on the items you can put up for sale? I am struggling to find a domain name that’s not used but I love your site. Which Blue host plan did you purchase?
I’m using woocommerce and it’s completely free. I don’t think there’s any limit on the amount of items either. It has been really easy to set up, which is what I needed. 🙂 And I just went for the cheapest plan. xxx
That’s good to hear. I was going to use Woo Commerce as I heard it’s free but you can only download it as a plug in with WordPress. Can you download it if you use Blu host powered by WordPress? the only problem I’m having is if I purchase .org.au domain name I haev to map it when I bring it over to Bluhost and I don’t know what mappingis and how to do it.
I think so! 🙂 As long as you’re still with wordpress but might be worth just checking. You can email wordpress and check. Their customer service is really good. 🙂 xxx
I can’t seem to find a contact on WordPress.
When you’re on the reader is there a little question mark in a circle in the bottom right hand corner? That opens up a chat box with a helper. 🙂 xxx
Nope. Not when you’re on a free plan.
Found it. Thank you so much for all your help.
Yayyyy! I hope they can help. 🙂 xxx
Going with Bluehost like you but purchasing WordPress hosting.
Yayyy! That’s so exciting. Have you decided which plan to go for? xxx
Yeah. I went with the choice plus but the problem is I don’t actually know how to use it. So much more complicated than the unpaid WordPress plans.
If you have any questions you can email wordpress and they will sort things out for you. I have emailed a couple of times, getting really stressed about things, and just said please do this! And they always have that day. 🙂 xxx
I guess website design and creating is not for people like me with brain fog. As I am self hosted with Bluehost, Wordrpesss can’t help with everything and Bluehost has said to contact the creators of the theme. I just can’t figure out how to add more tabs at the top of my page for about, gallery, shop etc and only haev three.
There is a way of doing that. You create a new page/s and then you have to assign them to the primary menu. I remember it always took me ages to figure out, but I found it in the end! Have you already created the pages you would like? xxx
Yup Thank you to my amazing, gorgeous sister who helped me figure it out. I give all credit to her. But how do I actually make sure my shop comes up when I click on shop in the tabs?
I think you’ve already figured it out. I clicked on shop and it was there! 🙂 Your new site looks amazing! 🙂 xxx
I can’t seem to add the follow button though or the like button. It seems to be so much harder with the theme I’ve chosen but I wanted it to reflect my site and what I do.
You should be able to add a widget on your pages with a follow button. 🙂 xxx
Found it. Thank you for all your help.
I will be bringing my own domain name but I am not sure whether to get the basic, plus or choice plus plan.
I just went for basic. 🙂 xxx
Still thinking whether to keep it as coolncreative or whether to make a new site all together.
I think in alot of ways it’s better to just keep it as it is. But at the same time, it’s the perfect opportunity to change it if you wanted to. It’s such a hard decision though! xxx
Dizzy looks so cute and innocent (maybe even a little too innocent) in the logo!!
And I wish I had such a cool bag!!!
Hehe, you are right, she is looking a little too innocent! But also very cute. 🙂 x And Dizzy does love her new little bag, we are also going to be starting a little Dizzy shop in a couple of weeks. 🙂 x Hope you’re having a wonderful week Rachel! 🙂 xxx
LOVE the new logo – it’s perfect in every way. And adore the book bags – rather taken with that green one. It’s just the right colour.
Sending love and good thoughts your way ~ Cobs. xxx
Thank you so much Cobs, we absolutely love the logo too, we were very lucky to have Elaine paint Dizzy so beautifully for it. 🙂 I like the green one too, but then green is my favourite colour! 🙂
Sending lots of donkey hugs. 🙂 xxx
Love the new logo! 😊💕
Thank you. 🙂 xxx
