Promoting Folksy

Has Twitter fallen out of fashion since it became X?
It looks like there are only two #folksyfriday’s this month, and #folksy5aday died in June. Only the automatic #newonfolksy has much use. The user id “@” with “folksy” has become a tag used by sellers, but rarely any posts or reposts from Folksy themselves.

Maybe it’s because of the similar tags and id’s that yield stuff like American politics.

No idea if it’s the same on IG as I can only see “top” tagged posts rather than “latest”.

@plumporridge Time certainly flies, it feels like it was only a couple of years ago!
But so glad it’s taken off and still getting lots of use (even if I don’t often get chance to make one myself very often).

Thank you, first day now of feeling sort of better, head still tender and a bit of a cough, not much taste and smell though. Not a good way to diet though I lost 4lb in 4 days!

Glad you are on the mend, take it easy though, don’t overdo things xxx

I’ve been trying to get in more practice with Canva, I still find it totally head-bending but am gradually getting the hang of the basics I think! Anyway it occurred to me today that the ability to purchase as a guest is a real plus, so I grabbed some photos and made a mini-board…


@bearlescent @animalfayredesigns @TeodoraPaintings @islamaymakes and I’m embarrassed to discover I didn’t save the other heart to my favourites and can’t find it again so I don’t know whose it is!

This is really great! Canva is still a bit of a mystery to me but I persevere in the hope that one day I will understand what I’m doing!

Thanks very much for including my Dala horse in your work

Best wishes Isla

This is lovely, thank you for including my pincushion. I still need to look at canva, I do find Adobe express much easier to navigate

Thank you! Use it by all means - it’s not original. (There is or was a TV show in the US with the same name, and I think there’s a facebook page with that title, but I haven’t checked whether anyone’s trademarked it!)

I am determined to master Canva if it’s the last thing I do… I think there might be too much text on this one but I’ve run out of time otherwise I would keep tinkering!
