About Libby

My name is Libby. I live in Australia with my dh, Kevin and 2 daughters, Amy and Christy. We have a menagerie of animals including 2 golden retrievers, 3 guinea pigs, 2 budgies and 6 chooks (chickens for those non-Australians). My interests are many and varied - including Scottish history and castles, scrapbooking, reading romances, travel, anything Disney, working out at the gym, growing a veggie garden, organising my home, learning to live a more simple life and striving to be a better wife and mum.
In November 2007 I had weight loss surgery - you can see my progress by clicking on the weight loss surgery link.

Hi Libby,
I am so glad you commented on my site because I have had the privledge of visiting yours and I love it !
I think we have similar interests and I will be dropping by regularly.

Hi again Libby -
You mentioned on Lizzie’s Home that you wanted to set up a counter for Google Reader? Have you thought of Google Analytics?
http://www.google.com/analytics/
I think it was primary designed for businesses to track their customers’ visits to their sites (e-commerce etc) but I think it can also work as a full-service stat counter whatsit. I put the code into my HTML editor today and will start getting ‘reports’ by tomorrow. Seems you can do everything with it as you can with Stat Counter et al - it may even give you more information.
Course this doesn’t help much with the whole vists-not-registering-because-of-reading-in-Google-Reader thing, and you may already have a stat counter, but thought it was worth a mention. It’s pretty easy to set up and to insert the code. I’m with Blogger and not Wordpress but I imagine the deal is pretty much the same. I’ll let you know how the system works if you like, once I have data coming in.
Cheers,
Lizzie
Whoops, should have made it clearer that Google Analytics is a separate thing to the actual Google Reader thing. Still, it does look pretty nifty.
Cheers,
Lizzie
A shadow of the past emerges from the darkness…
Wandered through here by chance tonight. Egads, the sprogs have gotten big! Could I have been away for that long?
Talk to you again if ever I fully rejoin the realm of the living.
Grr-ya.

Hi Libby! Would you be interested in trying a new storage product for scrapbooking ribbon? I am looking for people to try it out and then review it on their blog… if you are interested, just email me and I will send it you you.
Hi Libby..
Sorry it has been so long. I haven’t got your new details and missed you at Christmas time. I had a vague memory that you had this site and lo and behold I found you here. Looks like we have some catching up to do. Love to hear from you.
Hey Libby!
Remember Cindy Pellas from high school?!?! I’m sure you do….and no doubt Leanne has let you know we’re back in contact. She gave me your website details and I just LOVE it! You’re very talented!!
I travel alot for work and hopefully one day when I’m in Sydney we can all catch up. Its coming up to 20 years since we’ve seen each other….yikes! Where does the time go?!?!
You’re looking great by the way
Cindy
I am attempting to track down the original author of “life is a journey, not a destination.” The quote has gone around so much that I wonder whether anyone actually knows who its original author was or is. Since you used the phrase as the title for your website, I thought perhaps you might know. Thanks.
Best regards,

Hi Libby,
I stumbled on your blog through your Menu Plan Monday posting. We have a lot in common. Your library looks like my library
and I had Weight Loss Surgery as well 4 years ago. I also have 2 daughters although they are younger than your girls. I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I love your site.
All the best!
