A recap of my Facebook photos from June - Φωτογραφίες στο Facebook τον Ιούνιο

6/30/2016

46 Comments

 
As many of you may know I love photography.  A lot!  And I share my photos everyday on my Facebook page here.  But there are some of you that never get to see them because you do not follow me on Facebook or you are just too busy.  And these are very legitimate reasons.  However I still want to share whether you follow me on Facebook or not.  And so I will be rounding them up at the end of every month and sharing here.  This is a recap of my Facebook photos from June. 

Όπως πολλοί από εσάς ίσως γνωρίζετε λατρεύω τη φωτογραφία.  Πολύ!  Και  μοιραζομαι τις φωτογραφίες μου καθημερινά στη σελίδα μου στο Facebook εδώ. Αλλά υπάρχουν μερικοί από σας που δεν με ακολουθείτε στο Facebook ή είστε πάρα πολύ απασχολημένοι. Ωστόσο, εξακολουθώ να θέλω να μοιραστώ είτε με ακολουθείτε στο Facebook ή όχι. Και γι 'αυτό θα τις μαζεύω στο τέλος του κάθε μήνα και θα σας τις παρουσιάζω εδώ. Αυτή είναι μια σύνοψη από τις φωτογραφίες μου στο Facebook τον Ιούνιο.

How to make a Nautical Lantern from a Grill - Int'l Bloggers Club Challenge

6/27/2016

79 Comments

 
It's time for the International Blogger's Club Monthly Challenge.  A group of friends and I get together monthly and share projects and customs from each of our countries. This month we are going to focus on Summer. You will recall that in previous months we have done Spring, and a Valentine's Day Breakfast.  

It would not be summer here in Greece without a nautical theme. Today I am going to show you how to make a nautical lantern from a Grill....  yes, that infamous grill that I have been taking apart now for the past two months.

Έφτασε πάλι ο καιρός για το Διεθνές Bloggers Club,όπου μια ομάδα τεσσάρων φίλες  από διαφορετικά μέρη του κόσμου συναντιούνται και συγκρίνουν τα έθιμα τους. Αυτό το μήνα θα επικεντρωθούμε  στο Καλοκαίρι. Θα θυμάστε ότι τους προηγούμενους μήνες έχουμε μιλήσει για την Ανοιξη, και ένα πρωινό για την Ημέρα του Αγίου Βαλεντίνου.

Δεν θα ήταν  καλοκαίρι στην Ελλάδα χωρίς ένα ναυτικό θέμα. Σήμερα θα σας δείξω πώς να κάνετε ένα ναυτικό φανάρι από μια ψησταριά .... ναι, η περιβόητη ψησταριά που κομματιάζω εδώ και δύο μήνες.

Sweet Inspiration Link Party #12

6/24/2016

30 Comments

 
Welcome everyone to our Twelfth Sweet Inspiration Link Party. I'd like let you all know that we have made a change to our party rules, we no longer require that you link back to our party so we don't get into troube with the Google SEO.  However, if you wish, you can add a button with a no follow link.  

This week was the official start of our "Vacation"  although we all know that bloggers never really go on vacation.  My girls are finally done with school and so we can relax and go to the beach on a regular basis. 
 

We will be visiting all of you who link up with us and sharing, pinning all that good stuff. We really do appreciate your visits.

The Versatile Hanging Saucer - Ένας Ευέλικτος Κρεμαστός Δίσκος

6/20/2016

77 Comments

 
I hope everyone is well and keeping cool.  I'm spending lots of time on the balcony these days.  I am also  elbow deep in my barbecue grill box, pulling pieces out to try and repurpose them.  You may recall I used one part to create a planter and another part for a Father's Day Gift. Here is the next piece that I am repurposing today to make a versatile hanging saucer. Say what?

Ελπίζω όλοι είστε καλά και να μένετε δροσεροί. Περνάω πολύ χρόνο στο μπαλκόνι αυτές τις μέρες. Έχω χωθεί βαθιά μες στο κουτί της ψησταριάς, γυρεύοντας κομμάτια για να επαναπροσδιορίσω. Μπορείτε να ανακαλέσετε το ένα κομμάτι που  δημιούργησα  μια γλάστρα και ένα άλλο κομμάτι που εφτιαξα ένα δώρο για την Ημέρα του Πατέρα. Εδώ είναι το επόμενο κομμάτι που θα επαναπροσδιορίσω σήμερα σε έναν ευέλικτο  κρεμαστό δίσκο.

Welcome everyone to our Eleventh Sweet Inspiration Link Party. Not much news here. It has been a hectic week as we are still not finished with our final exams.  The weather has been hot but windy so I still haven't gone to the beach.  Hoepfully by next week's party both of these situations will have imporoved greatly.
 

We will be visiting all of you who link up with us and sharing, pinning all that good stuff. We really do appreciate your visits.
