Wednesday Weekly Review #19

 

I'm just going to have to accept that this month is going to be extremely busy so I won't be able to write as much as I'd like. :( And that is SO hard for me!! BUT I will tell you that I do hop on my laptop every free chance I get to work on a post so I have a lot of drafts (87 actually lol) which are about half way or more done and may come out eventually haha.

NEWS
I'd like everyone to know that I'm going back through the old posts of WWR and added the buttons of each blog that was featured to THIS BOARD on Pinterest!!! A new feature I'd like to start doing so that I can just have one easy link at the bottom of each WWR where everyone can see each and every blog that has been featured in this series and then they can see the post where the blog was featured if they are interested via the link in the 'about' spot. The buttons on this board will take you to the actual blogs so as to avoid frustration of anyone who might come across the board and not know it's purpose. :)

1. I am now on the Blogger Birthdays list!


In case you don't know what this is: it's an attempt to add the brithday's of as many bloggers as possible in one place so that anyone of our followers or fellow bloggers can see when our birthday is and then send us a message or whatever...or just say hi! I think this is such a COOL thing! I found out about it via Keeping Plus In A Minus World! And just in case you're all wondering now...my birthday is May 14th!!!

2. I'm now linking with with: Sparkle & Shine Holiday Blog Hop!


This is a super fun blog hop which I'm so happy to be a part of! If you have been sharing any fun, crafty, or Christmassy posts then you need to go link up with Erica @ Walking In My Shoes! By the way, this is a Friday hop!

3. Now following Crocheting the Day Away!


I've been following this lovely blog about knitting, crochet and more for weeks now and just this past week started following via GFC. I really love her work! It's so inspiring and helps me create new things in my own crochet! :)

4. Now Linking & Following @ Diana Rambles: Pin Me Link Party!


I just found this link party Monday and am really excited to have run across it becacuse already I've found so many wonderful things to try & pin. Such as these:


A tutorial for a Spool Knit Sweater @ Etcetorize
or these Fabric Flower Headbands @ Simply Creating Home
or these Glitter Tea Light Candles @ Emmy In The Making
And this was probably my favorite find this week...
Paper Doily Tree Ornaments @ With A Blast

New Followers on Blue Eyed Beauty Blog
On November 28, 2012 I started giving shout outs to the bloggers who started following my blog. I do this for as many of the blogs I can find, but if I can't find your blog when you've joined via GFC I can't give you a shout out! :( ...SO all this to say: leave me a comment and I'll give your blog a shout out ASAP! :)
(P.S. I will use 200x200 buttons from your blog if you have them, if you don't have a button at all I will make something simple which goes along with your blog theme so people will get a hint of what your blog is like.)

Ten New Followers!
WOW! Thank you all for making my day!!

    1. Awesome!! I totally plan to check that out, but it'll probably be a few months before I can even think about taking up a new hobby since I'm in the middle of planning a wedding and planning my new house things like what I still need to find/get for it lol. I do have your post pinned so I will go back through all that when I'm not as busy! :)
