Great intentions. Really. I had them when I started this blog. I thought that I would be able to manage at least one post a week. Perhaps more in the summer when school is out of session, but ideally one post a week. Yet, here my poor neglected blog sits without a post in what seems like forever. I'm busy, sure, but honestly, I spend plenty of time reading other people's blogs, browsing scrapbooking message boards, and spending all too much time on Facebook playing Bejeweled Blitz. Time enough to make my own blog posts, for sure.
So, while doing some of that blog reading, I came upon an online class with the title Blogging for Scrapbookers at
www.shimelle.com :
Seemed like the perfect thing to get me motivated and back to blogging. So here I am again: ready, willing, and certainly able to give this blogging thing a go. Go Me!!
The first assignment in the class that I just signed up for had us make a set of tags using a rainbow of colors, and a handful of different techniques. I took the opportunity to get a little inky with it too. There is stamping on every tag. Most of the stamps are CTMH, with the exception of the orange tag. That's a Tim Holtz set that I just couldn't say no to at Michael's the other day. It was fun to spend a couple of hours at my desk creating these tags, and I even dug into the depths of my stash and used some fibers on the yellow, fun in the sun tag. I braided the ones through the top of the tag, and it looks a lot like a beach towel. Can't wait to see what the rest of the class will be like!
