Note: I have pasted the Inlinz for my Poppy Challenge onto the bottom of this post as well to make it simpler to find, it won't matter which you link to as it will show up on both posts. I will make it a sticky as well.
Good afternoon everybody, my robotic fingers……… a.k.a. my word recognition system seems to be going well and I had a little venture into blog land today testing it out, next big test will be some challenge commenting over the weekend.
You do have to be a little careful with pronunciation I found, to my great embarrassment I sent an e-mail to a friend last evening mentioning the Big Shot Express, unfortunately it didn't spell shot quite right and replaced the 'o' with another letter, I'll leave you to make you own mind up what it actually typed ! Needless to say I didn't realise until after it has gone.
I think it's time I revealed the winners of my last candy and at the same time remind you that I also have a £20 Sir Stampalot voucher to be won. To be in with a chance of winning I'm inviting you to take part in a little challenge. I just love poppies and posted some pictures on my blog yesterday here if you want a peek, taken in the fields around our house, all you need to do is:
* Enter a card or any sort of crafty project which either has poppies on it, hints at the colour or idea of poppies or has an image coloured in with the beautiful poppy colours. Basically have fun and let your imagination run wild.
* Link your piece of artwork to InLinkz below.
That's it and as I said it's mean to be for fun, but if you want to grab the logo at the top of this post and pop on your own blogs, please feel free to do so. I shall be around to take a look at your entries ably assisted by my new software.
Now the two winners from my June candy are:
and
Congratulations to both, please e-mail me brenda@ibas.co.uk with your full postal addy's.

Great to see how useful this tool is for you. I'm quite sure that your friend will have realized that you don't have such words in your vocabulary.
I hate to think what such a tool might make make of my occasional lapses into Swenglish! My husband has enough trouble correcting my pronunciation of words that I learnt through reading & didn't hear spoken.

Great that it is working so well, Brenda. I remember using some voice recognition thing on a DS brain training game and it nearly got thrown through the window! I sat there bellowing numbers at it, lol!

Beautiful poppy cards, really pretty. Laughed at your "typo"!! Ages ago when email was new to the masses I sent my sister an email, only I did a spell check and didn't check what it had changed. Her name is Jackie and spell check couldn't find it and decided to change it..... so she opened up her email to read "Hello Jackass"!!! True story!
Hugs
Brenda
