February Blog challenge

[hartleystudio]

Hi all!! Tess has asked me if I'd like to head the blog challenge over here! I'm super excited about it!!

I'd like to blog once a month, on the 15th of every month. Each month we will choose a new topic to write about and we will link to eachother's blogs. We can call it a blog challenge, group, carnival...what do you think?

To begin with, I'd love to take suggestions on topics. I'll start, I'd love to write about change. Do you like it, hate it, roll with it, freak out about it??? What can you tell your readers about change??

I'd love to hear your suggestions and on the first of Feb, I'll choose a topic and we'll post on the 15th.

Please include your blog address in your post if you will be participating.

Oh, yeah, can you keep a running list of URL's? So cut and paste and add your address so at the end, there is just one group of links to copy to our blogs...

I like "carnival" too but I want you to be aware, that's what we call our monthly blog challenge on Etsymetal. However, I don't think it's exclusive to them,...just wanted full disclosure. If we want to call it something else, I'm all ears.

Great! Susan, don't sweat it. I'll announce the topic on the first, posting on the 15th. You have plenty of time to decide and, if not this time, maybe next time. I don't want to stress you out!!

[tessjordandesigns]

[Former_Member]

Looks like a full roster for this month! Maybe come up with a topic for March?

[Former_Member]

I am interested, but will sit out the first month and see what you guys do.

[tessjordandesigns]

peg I'd love to see your blogpost! It doesn't have to be fancy or long! I know I am spread pretty thin lately so I hope nobody is expecting a 4 page novel from me! LOL

[bellabijoujewellery]

Great to see so much participation already guys - keep it coming!

[hartleystudio]

Our Feburary theme is going to be about change but I'll convo you all on the first. The we will all post on the 15th and link to eachother's blogs. Here's an example from my other team's blog carnival. It's a post I wrote recently:

http://annhartleystudio.blogspot.com/2011/01/etsymetal-bolg-carnival-resolutions.html

See at the end? All the other blogs are linked and we will all write on the same topic. It's so fun to read what others have written. Sometimes it's similar and sometimes so different. It can be as long or short as you'd like.

Hi Lina! Glad to see you here!

[hartleystudio]

Bumpization!!! Anyone else??
