Comment problems!

I have been having tons of problems posting comments on blogger! After I complete the comment and get ready to post, I do what I've always done, click on Google account...well this had gone to the wayyyyyyyyyy side! Now it takes me to a new window where I have to login to my Google account which happens to be my blogger account, after it does that, you think all is well...WRONG!
 It will take you back to the origianl comment you posted, where you keep clicking the POST
 button only to find the login window all over again...vicious cycle I tell you!!!
"What does it take to keep a Mex-Tex" busy?" Well mess with her comment post button thats what! lol 
 Here's what I had to do...After I wrote a comment I had to select " name/url" which is the last selection on the drop down menu.. Then a box comes up and you have to enter your name and url (url is your blog address or web address), then and ONLY then can I  post the  comment showing my identity, I could have tried anonymous, but I don't want to be Anonymous! After all that,  a message appears that reads, "comment visible after approval". This is the only way I have been able to leave peeps a comment...anyone else having issues? or is it just me!!! :( 
Kisses and Good thoughts and as always

She will have a kit available plus will be scheduling a UStream class!!! Go check her out click HERE http://krystalsnight.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-new-fold.html.  and ummm speaking of USTREAM!

So for you that just joined my group of followers and for those followers who took the time to hop, I have decided to let all of you have the files... I will email you the links!!! I read all the comments and took all the email address but I could have missed one, or two...lol  If you left a comment between May 18 and the 22nd and you don't get an email from me, please contact me! So ok, Im on my way to email  you those files!
These .svg files can be cut with any software that supports .svg's.  I use SCAL2 on my cricut.

I have also been collecting shells and never did much with them but put them in jars, but thanks to this theme I was able to add them as embellishements to my projects! wayyy cool huh? The second mini I made out of costers I had, I just turned the cover into a beach ball! They both are tiny, but were fun to make.
Well its been fun sooo with this project we end the Blog Hop, make sure you sign up over at Emily's blog for she is having a mega candy give away for the last day!! Good luck!
