Sorry to Bulliblips for the same 'blip' lettering! But then again you are my blip grand/great grandmother (depending on whether mum or Lyd got me on to here) - and so we must share some blip genes ;)

And here's to many more blip offspring for us all over the years!

Blip has become a part of all my family's daily life over the past 3+ years - whether that be posting, following others and keeping in touch with family and friends around the globe, taking pictures (and panic pictures) or being harassed by other blippers to pose anywhere and everywhere!

Blip will most definitely leave a large hole in our family life if it were to disappear! Especially as this month we will become even more geographically scattered than we currently are - and blip allows us a daily glimpse into each other's lives in Sutton Coldfield, Manchester, India and soon to be Portugal (not to mention extended family in Grimsby and Texas, and friends all over!).

So blipfuture.com and it's crowd funding campaign is particularly dear to us. If you haven't yet, please do make a pledge before it's too late and we lose all of this!
