It's Blue Monday! To participate:1. Post about something blue on your blog. It can be pretty, ugly, funny, old, or new as long as it's blue. Leave a link to this blog on your post.
2. Place the Blue Monday button on the top of your post so that people can easily spot it. Place another Blue Monday button on the sidebar of your blog.
3. Return here and link in with Mr. Linky by leaving your name and the Permalink to your post. To create a Permalink, click on your Blue Monday post title and copy all the stuff in the http window. It is a longer address so that people can find your post even later in the week--whenever they get a chance to visit. For those who just can't wait, Mr. Linky will be up after midnight!
Do NOT link in until after your post is up.
4. Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links. Make someone's day; leave a comment. I appreciate it when you take the time to leave a comment for me.
5. Check back later to make certain you visit all the Blue participants. (That's why the Permalink is so important.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Update: Remember this?
It's not working again. I just wanted you to know that the remedy of cutting off the tube SEEMED to work, but then failed. (sigh) I think that this dispenser is not long for this world.
I got a new Mac computer this past December, and I must tell you that you look so much better now! I can do some things that I was unable to do earlier. For instance, now I can make a Wordle. Have you seen these? Just click on the link and follow the simple directions.
Have fun, but be careful; it's addictive!

Those are cool! Love it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Looks like a lot of fun. Happy Blue Monday to you!
ReplyDeleteThose look fun. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
Sally, I love the cool word posters you made! SO neat! And I'm sorry about the soap dispenser. I just use the ones from the grocery store with mine. I love that Dial Pump Soap.
ReplyDeleteEmailed you earlier...
Happy Blue Monday!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Congratulations on the new computer... please say you're still a Mac girl!
ReplyDeleteThose are very cool - I shall have to investigate. Of course, that's precisely what I needed in my life - yet another internet thing that sucks time out of my life :D LOL
ReplyDeleteTink *~*~*
NEW at My Mobile Adventures *~*~* :
Fire, yellow, blue, MAGIC! on Disney’s Yacht Club beach
Sally---Just give that dispenser a nice funeral!!!!! Buy some Softsoap in its own container!!! ha
ReplyDeleteWe just got new computers---so I'm excited to get to do so many new things that I couldn't do before.
Have a great day tomorrow.
Hugs,
Betsy
beautiful shades of blue.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday Sally!
ReplyDeleteSorry the dispenser is still giving you trouble. I just use an old Bath & Body works one that I removed the stickers from. All the fancier ones always gave me hassles too. Blah!
Love the wordels. I wonder if that can be made onto transfer paper and put on walls and such.
Have a great day!
Love your wordles, Sally! Bummer about the soap dispenser. I've bought a couple of nice ones over the years but they never seem to work properly. I hate wasting the containers for the one-shot pumps, but it's hard to find the refills, too.
ReplyDeleteI k now what you mean... It's pretty, but it needs to work to pay for it's keep!
ReplyDeleteLove Wordie! It's so fun!
☺ Diane
Sally, Thanks for the wordle link - they look so cool, now I can play around too. I hate when soap dispensers do that....It's just got a vacuum leak. Bummer. Hope the rest of your Blue Monday flows more smoothly - Robyn
ReplyDeleteHi Sally
ReplyDeleteI love that wordle website where you can custom design paper with different words. I make custom scrapbook paper with it! It's wonderful!
Happy Blue Monday my blue blogging friend!
Love, Ann
Wordles are so much fun! Adore that website! And love your versions in tones of blue!
ReplyDeleteYour blue Wordles look really cool! I will have to try those out someday.
ReplyDeleteKady
Sally,
ReplyDeleteSorry about your soap dispenser clogging up again, I feel like I gave bad advice! Who would have thought a little soap dispenser could cause such an exchange of ideas in blogland? Maybe that was it's purpose in life!! I hope there are no men reading this~we already get a bad rap!
Wordles looks very cool and I am positive I would never figure it out.
Happy Blue Monday!! :-)
xoxo
Janie
That looks like a fun thing to do. Using them for scrapbook paper sounds like a good idea too like Anne Fannie said. Hmmm....Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteSally I am going to get my stuff together and join you , I love the things you did with wordle and will try to join you next week.
ReplyDeleteI love the wordle link, I'm going to be spending a lot of time with it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You are one creative lady. Happy Blue Monday!

ReplyDeletecongrats for the new comp
chaitra
That looks really cool. I'm going to have to go check it out later.
ReplyDeletetake care,
Dawn
Good morning Sally--Wordle is fun and very addictive. Sounds like there ia a new soap dispenser in your future!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link about Wordie, I'm going to go play with that right now. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Chris
Happy Blue Monday & Wordle :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks cool. I'll have to play with it later.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Sally.
Good morning Sally, Your blue signage is fun and interesting. I am so not computer smart and I can assure you I would not be able to do this. You go girl. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHugs...Jeanne
I've seen those word pictures on other blogs. Very interesting. I must go there and see how. Don't know about that bottle though. Maybe it's just worn out. Maybe you have another one around the house that fits, try and replace it and see what happens. You may can pick one up inexpensively at a store just to solve the mystery and see if another one works.
ReplyDeleteI've considered going to Mac many times, but I have so much money tied up in software I couldn't afford to make a switch like that even if I didn't mind spending 2-3 times as much on the hardware. Sad, I know.
ReplyDeleteOK, I give up Sally, Why is it that I can't find Mr. Linky. I hit refresh and read your instructions a countless number of times, it just isn't here. LOL. Am I the only one who has trouble with this??? sigh.
ReplyDeleteHelp!...Jeanne
Happy Blue Monday! Blue is you about the soap dispenser. ;-) LOVE the wordage posters! Coolio that we look so much better! LOL
ReplyDeleteHello Sally, Happy Blue Monday. Cute post, I'll have to check that out.
ReplyDeleteBless you, Shirl
Shirls Rose Cottage
Love your wordie...... should we use it instead of the blue jay....... I will check out the link....
ReplyDeleteHUgs
Linda
Should we start calling you Silly Sally? lol
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
Woo Hoo! Look at you Mz. Techie!! That's pretty cool. Too bad about the dispenser - you'll have to give it a nice funeral. I'm up and linked this morning. Thanks for hosting the Blueness!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
whose a clever girl? yes, I have seen that on a few peoples blogs - will have go though..take care, Judith
ReplyDeleteI should have waited till I got my eyes open this morning before I started to do anything serious. I just noticed the #2 by my name. It was already on the computer because last night I posted a second link on Spiritual Sundays.
ReplyDeleteI have tried, though not recently, to make a wordie but it always turns out really small and I couldn't figure out how to make it bigger so I gave up on it. I think that is so neat. Yours are so pretty. Maybe I'd better try it again.
Have a great week.
Charlotte
Sally, This is my first blue Monday! I love the "wordle" and can't wait to check out everyone elses blue Monday items!
ReplyDeleteSally, I've been meaning to try Wordle. It does look like it could be addicting!
ReplyDeleteElaine :)
Hey Sally... I have never been to that web site but will be checking it out soon... Thanks for the info
ReplyDeleteHUGS,
Donna
I love your blue word clouds! I played with the Wordle maker a while back, but mine came up pretty uninteresting. Guess that didn't say much for my blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your soap dispenser. I have never had one that worked well. Like your blue words. I can see it being addictive! Mine is posted. Have a great day!!
Sherrie
well my tech skills leave a lot to be desired. i'm still trying to create a link that is maybe just a word. not much success with it as you can see through out my blog i just copy/paste and all the http// stuff looks "messy" so if i go ahead and wordle i just may make a wordle mess. i will save the link and practice. thanks for blue monday.
ReplyDeletemarie
Love that Word Cloud... I picked one up at the site for my "So, God..." blog.
ReplyDeleteas for the soap dispenser.. not surprised to hear about that. If I ever find one that actually works, I'll let you know.
blessings for the week. Dixie
I've seen that wordie thing done on another blog...I'll have to give it a whirl! Happy Blue Monday, Sally!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the soap dispenser. It does sound like a goner. Thank you for hosting Blue Monday. Would it be possible to start Blue Mondays the night before instead of Monday mornings?
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday Sally
ReplyDeletewowo wowow wowow Sally you are really up there with your computer.
You are sooo lucky to be able to play around and do so many different things!
Thank you for sharing
Judi
Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it to play later. I love my MAC too.
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Day!
from Roberta Anne
The WORDle is a fun tool!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the fabulous Mac World Sally. You will love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday
Love Claudie

Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteYour wordle's look great! I tried to do one, and couldn't get it to work.
Maybe I need a new computer. LOL
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Diane
What fun blue pics you have today, Sally. I'm a little late joining in today but better late than never!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're enjoying your new Mac. It's amazing the stuff you can do on a computer if you're smart enough. I'm lucky if I can cut and paste lol
ReplyDeleteOh wow Sally that is really neat! I love it too. I hope you have a wonderful blue Monday :>)
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cool! I'll have to check the site out. Sorry about your pump not working again :(
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday! ♥
Very interesting! However, I just saw my wife's comment and I have to say I kind of wish you hadn't posted this. It's not as if she needed something else to try on the computer. I may not see her anymore today unless I drop by her computer which I often do. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteHello Sally,
ReplyDeleteI just posted a Blue Monday article on my nativity blog:

Carrie
Sally, I'm so sorry to hear about the failure of the soap dispenser. I was hoping that was the cure. I wish I knew why some of these just don't work!
ReplyDeleteOn to Woordle. I've used it before and thought it was great fun. Kind of adicting!
Kathy b
I love Wordles!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday to you girl..WOW!! I needed a NO-Doz to get to the bottom of your comment today...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteLove Blue Monday's! Wordles are addictive!
ReplyDeleteJudyBug
I recently had a white soap dispenser break after a week. Maybe we need to try blue.
ReplyDeleteThe word thingies are cute. Enjoy your new Mac.
I also want to thank you for the Survivors book. It arrived this afternoon. I am looking forward to reading it.
Now I know what a wordle is!! Looks fun. Sally
ReplyDeleteHi Sally!
ReplyDeleteThat looked fun!! I will have to look into that! :-)
Monica
Happy Blue Monday Sally!
ReplyDeleteLove your blues~
Look at all the people this week. phew I have alot of sites to visit!
Susan
Sally I was so excited to be able to finally participate in one of your Blue Mondays! I was so excited in fact that I posted it last night then totally forgot to link on your page till just now!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the wordel thing!

mary
Hello Sally; I have not heard of that before. It looks like great fun. Love how yours turned out. I must give it a try.
ReplyDeleteHugs;
Alaura
Hi Sally, That wordle thing is neat! I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have tons of participants today! :) ~hugs, Rhonda
Sally, I tried to visit everyone, but for some reason, some of the blogs had those coded words that wouldn't load. Plus there were other technical difficulties. I think Blogger has some kinks it must be working on or something. I signed in today on one post, and it came out Mrs. That was IT! LOL!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila... who is giving up for the evening...
Cool Wordels! Those soap dispensers are SO frustrating!laurie
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but I could not get my link for Blue Monday posted under Mr. Linky.

Wow, Sally, those are beautiful! You are artistic, girl.
ReplyDeleteWow, this thing has grown so much!! Ot maybe you always have so many people playing and I don't see it at the time I come around.
ReplyDeleteI did miss yesterday -- I have a lot to do this week with an earlier than usual deadline, so I had to dog in.
Glad you like the Mac. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the dispenser is acting up again though. You're right it could be time to try something else.
And the wordle is awesome!
Hi, I am loving all the Blue Monday posts! I found you via French Garden House, and it has inspired me to do a blue post too, although I guess I was too late to link up. Will try to get my next one in, in time! Thanks for hosting such a fun event! Patti
