How To Get Back Your Green Padlock SECURE Symbol Back On Your Blog...

Is Your Blog showing NOT SECURE

Is there a circle with and Exclamation Point ! in the middle of it,
Before your Blogs name in the Address Box ??

Well, You need to try to find out why!!!

Google has changed a few things as I am sure Blogger has also;

The World Wide Web is always changing;

Threats loom out there!

But I want to share a few things you can try to fix it yourself!

But, You still may need some real technical support.

Here are a few things to try for yourself first!

After all Blogging is not for Dummies!

1. Go to your DASHBOARD and hit SETTINGS

Under the Basics you will see, Basics, Publishing, Then

HTTPS Redirect,( If it says NO Click the Arrow and hit YES)

Hopefully this will give you back the Green Padlock that is a must.

2. Also I found this amazing site you can enter your Blog address into;

And it will give you any errors that might be in your HTML or another problem source.

It is a tool called---- Why No Padlock

Google this and give it a try!

Mixed contents is no longer being given the Green Padlock!

Blogger: How to display a Cookie Banner/notice

3. Also you will need to add the I use COOKIE NOTICE

You can Google this site for a free one;

Support. pigdig  // Blogger Cookie Notice 
Just submit...

I did not put direct links to these sites on my blog as it can cause problems also!

I hope this may help a few of you Bloggers!
It was so hard to figure out all that was causing this prompt A circle With this!

I was just stumped, I managed to figure out most of it, but still needed
some support from a wonderful man that was a God send!
Thanks Jon !!!

I am now planning on trying to write something on a fun and easy subject!
I was thinking about starting a NEW BLOG...

Home Coming...

Greetings, May I encourage those that are weary today;

Many have gone before us that have had really  tough times.

But, I love to read a story or watch a movie that displaces the

inward virtue of making the best of every situation!

I have found that being out in the world shopping and buying;

has a way of actually leaving one a bit deflated.

I understand we all need to work and bring in a income,

at some time of our lives. But what I am referring to is this;

"Wanting To Be Home"

I have seen the loss and devastation of homes being broken,

And empty feeling

The loss of the value of the families and home chores and production!

Or even the loss art of being quiet and still for a little each day!

Every time we come HOME from being gone or shopping;

Even coming back from a vacation we always say;

"There Is No Place Like HOME"

I have seen such a lack of contentment!

Maybe it is from the entitlement mentality we have allowed

We all just want way to much...

So many even no longer take care of what they already have!

Look, I want peace in my heart and in my HOME!

This world is running after something that is not really satisfying

If you have never learned to be content; then you will always

Live in the gimme gimme stage and never mature.

I hope when I go to my heavenly HOME,

I pray my children and grandchildren do not

Say well, why did she keep this old thing!

I do not like clutter, but if its still good keep it!

Or give it to someone who will be blessed!

Take Care Of What God has given you!

How To Decorate A Miniature Doll House...

 

Here is the doll house I worked on all last spring!

It was a doll house already constructed;

My daughter found it on Craig's list for me, now that was such

a nice and easy way to start my project to decorate it for the State Fair!

It was a pretty blue color, but was faded and and some yellowing.

I felt that I was more of a yellow color kinda gal,

especially for a Victorian style home.

The cost of this doll house was only thirty dollars,

I truly felt I had found the bargain I was hoping for!

$$

Because, I first went to Hobby Lobby and brought home

a very large box filled with a zillion pieces...

My son told me this;

"Mother this will only take you maybe 300 hours to construct and paint!"

I looked at him and said your kidding right?

Well needless to say I closed that huge box up and

returned it to Hobby Lobby.

It took over three coats of paint to cover the faded and dulled blue color.

I primed it inside and out, then painted the outside a pretty yellow.

I also had to paint the inside with primer and still three coats of a beige color.

Decorating the kitchen was so much fun!

Cherry curtains and sweet place mats and a apron I sewed for it!

I also made a little red rug!

I went to Hobby Lobby every few days buying little kitchen things.

Went to a specialty shop and found some darling treasures.

I also ordered a few things on line.

~Everything Miniture~

My Little Itsy Bitsy Apron

The bedroom was really fun!

loved the little Hope Chest filled with goodies

I made little perfume bottles from glass beads!

Also, I sewed the bedding, a wee comforter blanket and shams.

Pillows and the bed skirt...

This room I used as the office, loved that little Banjo!!!

Everything in the details...

My Granddaughter made me some wee little colored pencils.

And of course I had a sewing room in the attic!

I found a little box with spools of thread,

How adorable is that??

It even has a little ironing board and iron.

Here is the whole layout of the house!

The living room had a fireplace, and of course a kitty and a puppy!

I really enjoyed doing this project!
It was a challenge and took a few months to paint and to decorate!

My grandson said now let me get this straight;
You paid only thirty dollars for it, but what did all the furnishings cost?
"We won't go there"

It was a project I always wanted to do!
I did enter it into the State Fair and I did take 3rd place!
That was really amazing, because you would be surprised at how many
 there were in the minature doll House category!

It was something that brought me great joy;
And taught me that it is in the details;
No matter how small a thing is it can be big...

Now, I am thinking about entering something for this year;
I may or may not, as it all depends if I can get a project started
and completed before next month...
(Me Laughing Hysterically)

I hope you enjoyed seeing my sweet project;
I told my youngest granddaughter she could have it one day!

Sending a hug to each of you out in Blogland...

You Must Focus On What Is Important...

Focus...
You must focus...

If you spend all your time and energy on things and people;
That will never bring true longevity!

When you our kinder to strangers or people you have just met;
then your own family or spouse!

When you give your best to those that truly do not give a hoot about you!

Some days you may have a ton of energy, others days not so much!
Why we must focus on what is eternal, and within your own household!

Where you lay up your treasures is very important!

Blogging is important to me;
But making sure my hubby has a good meal and a clean home,
Is way above on the priority list!

When we are challenged in any realm; we must focus on the
portion that is from Gods way of perception.

If you run all over town to even get the best deal on an item'
You just may be wasting valuable time.

Everything has a action and will cause a reaction!
I get it, it's not real profound, but we all need reminders.

If you find  yourself just running in circles in any given day;
Stop, and refocus and do the next thing with intent.

Can you just feel time slipping away?
Well. stop and smell the roses, because they even have a small
window to grow and bloom and to fill the air with their fragrance.

When I started this Blog it was never my goal to be famous;
Or to be on my computer all day long!
But to have a place to encourage those that want
"what is best for their marriages and home life"
If I use my gift to encourage others,
But not my own family, that is a problem.

What I am doing on the home front!
I have found that I love to paint with watercolor!

I love to read on a hot afternoon!
Or Paint...

I find it much wiser to grow my tomatoes in a pot!

Well as usual, I am finding the higher ground!
Livng from Glory to Glory...

Hope you are having and making a good life!

Hugs, Roxy
