About Me

Hello and welcome to Boomdeeadda!

Everyone calls me Boomdee here, a nickname I was given by fellow Blogger and dear friend Alys from Gardening Nirvana. We met right here on my blog, cool right? Since then, we’ve visited many times and traveled together too. You might already know this but, isn’t it a small and beautiful world when you’re a Blogger? Actually, I’ve made friends all over the world.  It’s really the most amazing thing.

Hey! Are you crafty? Me too! I go mad for everything, including scrapbooks, planners, mixed media, art journaling and heavens knows what else.  If you have a room full of the stuff too, follow the Link to ‘Kelly Made It’ in the header.

I’m also rather passionate about dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, bunnies and well you get the picture.  If you hang around with my friends and I here, you’re going to come across the biggest animals lovers you’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. BTW, that’s also why I’m a vegetarian.  It’s easy when you love animals so much.

I’m a mum to two pampered kitties. Petals and Blossum were a birthday gift from my brother. They’re a big part of our lives and so, part of the Boomdeeadda team too.

I saved the best for last, there’s a Mr B too.  He’s the dream boat that married me in 2001. Yep, the best day of his life! Ha!

Thank’s so much for visiting and I hope you’ll have fun here, I always do. Cheers Kelly

  1. Hi Kelly, Nice to meet you here. You are lucky able to find friends through this site and travel together. Hopefully we can meet one day. We are (Yunni now writing to you, and Mickey) just started the blog last month since our beloved travelbuddy stop providing service. Both of us love to travel and eat 🙂 Yunni loves dog and birds watching. It was Mickey who introduces the birds watching back in 2012 and Yunni is hook now.

  3. Talk Nerdy, you say? Did you know that brown sugar is just white sugar dyed with a bit of molasses? Demerara sugar is the real, non-bleached, not dyed, brown sugar! heheheh

    Again, thanks for stopping by my blog!

    1. Ha, very nerdilicious 😀 Thanks for sharing that. I didn’t know. I don’t use much sugar, except in baking and actually do buy brown thinking it was better. Will have to shop different. Enjoyed your Blog too, thanks for all your visits, Cheers

      1. Yeah… if you bake bread or feed sourdough with white sugar, it gives a foul odour and bitter taste to the bread… this is because of the peroxyde, used to discolour the sugar… it’s the same thing used to discolour hair before dying it….

        Again, white flour is the same… these things are not naturally white and what’s used to whiten them is not good for us humans… I only bake cakes and bread with wholemeal flour!

        More nerdy stuff for you!!! Hehe

    1. HI! well how nice of you to say. These little shorts are very comfortable in spring and fall. Too bad spring hasn’t arrived here yet 😦 There’s a flippin’ snow warning for the weekend…….urgggg.

      2. I’m not sure where you live, but spring has been touchy here too. Yesterday was beautiful, still a touch of a breeze. Then today, chilly and gray and colder. I still think global warming is a great deal to blame.

        1. We live in central Alberta where the weather is always unpredictable. They say, “if you don’t like the weather….wait five minutes”. It can snow one day and be 15 C the next. But really, everyone is saying how long winter is this year…:( I truly think nothing will ever be seasonal again, we are nearing a tipping point.

        2. I actually mentioned that there had to be something going on with the planet weather in general, with all the natural disasters that happened in such a short period of time. Hurricanes, tsunami, earthquakes, and so close together. I feel like it was once in 10 years or something a big disaster would hit, but now just as we’re trying to recover from one/two, another one hits elsewhere. Louisiana (Katrina), Haiti, Japan. New York City (Superstorm Sandy, which I dealt with), and I just read about another earthquake in China. I just keep thinking, global warming people!!! Course I hear the excuse “But it’s cold,” and I say, yeah, because the ice caps are melting, so it’s making everything colder and weird.

        3. AGREED, 110% I have little faith that there is a way back and I don’t say much because where I live, every household is tied to the oilpatch in some way or fashion.

        4. Huh, I had always thought Canada would be a little more in tune with the environment. I thought about half the country was sparsely populated (I know of Toronto, Ottawa, and Victoria; the last one hubby and I visited on our honeymoon cruise), basically the central-ish west area. The area you rarely hear about on the news,

          How do you mean tied to the oilpatch?

  9. Hi Boomdeeadda……We’re FINALLY visiting your blog and meeting Petals and Blossum for the first time….they are certainly beautiful girls. Love the way you’ve set up your blog – and the theme is the OTHER ONE we almost used for Sam’s blog – I like all the colors and swirls. Sam sends a big Sammy hug….people seem to look forward to those!

    1. Good morning sweet Sam and Pam! I’m so glad to see you and thank you for your sweet message. I’ve seen some bloggers personalize this theme but I’ve always loved the colours. I actually follow a few gals using the same theme so it’s fun to see how everyone does it. I love all the cartoons you create over at ‘One Spoiled Cat’, they’re so darn cute as is Sammy. Thanks for hugs, I can totally see why people look forward to them. Cheers! xK

  13. I do believe we are VERY similar! Points to make about our similarities: 1) you had a silly made up blog name (have you written about how you came up with it? 2) we both have 2 cats, I really only have one and have adopted an internet sensation kitty, Maru (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XID_W4neJo) 3) we both enjoy using typical items for unusual purposes

    It’s nice to meet you!
