Biannual Blogathon Bash

The Biannual Blogathon Bash. It’s a chance to get a start on all those things on your blogging to do list. There are 2 a year – January and June. The event will take place on a weekend and will run for 72 hours. 8am Friday to 8am Monday EST.

I’ll be back Saturday morning (unless I’m still up midnight Friday – the challenge starts 8am Friday in the US which is about midnight here) with my list of blogging tasks I wish to accomplish over the 72 hours.

Would love to know if any other Aussies are taking part.

Blogging for Scrapbookers

So we’ve only just started this class today but I’m loving it already. Shimelle’s classes are amazing.

*waves hello* to fellow classmates (& anyone else who is new to my blog). Welcome! Hope you enjoy reading my blog and I love to hear from my readers so feel free to say hi 🙂

Anywho onto today’s post.

What are my intentions for the next three weeks during this class (& hopefully beyond). Well I hope to post a bit more often and write more interesting blog posts. I also want to not feel guilty if I miss a day or two of blogging (but I’m trying not to do that during November – nablomopo and all lol). I want to share more of my photography and get more memories down so when I go to scrap them later I can actually remember what was going on and finally I want to create more and share more of my scrapbook pages

If you’re not taking part in Blogging for Scrapbookers and think it sounds like something you’d like to do, you can join us here.

Today I haven’t really done a whole lot. I’ve got an assignment finished for TAFE, only two more to go this year. Kinda watched the new Star Trek movie that hubby got today. It wasn’t bad. Was really a lazy day but that’s ok. It’s nice to have a day of doing very little as I know after February I probably won’t get many of them.

well that’s it for me today. Catch ya all 2morrow

New blogging/scrapping class

I’ve decided to take part in another one of Shimelle’s classes (I started an art journal one a few years back – must get round to finishing that one day). Her latest is called Blogging for Scrapbookers and it starts on Nov 2.
It includes info on how to set up a blog and all the business that goes with that (templates, tracking visitors etc); 15 emailed prompts; a year of blogging workbook and much more. I’m hoping it will get me blogging & scrapping a bit more as I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately.
Anywho you can read more about the class here.

I’ve started a Word doc where I’ve started journaling prompts and journaling for my preggo journal. as I get the pages done I can just add the journaling as it’s nearly all done 🙂 I’ve also started planning pages for bub’s album – just ideas for pages, LOs I like, poems, titles etc. If you want to share a link to some of your fav bub pages, link me up in the comments – I love looking at baby & preggo pages atm.

Hopefully I’ll have some new pages to share tonight. Planning on doing some scrapping while the boys play D&D.

So what’s this blog about?

So day 1 of the 31DBBB (31 Days to Build a Better Blog) Challenge is to do an elevator pitch for our blogs. Basically letting you, the reader know what the blog is about.

Nightwolf’s Layouts – it’s all about me, my life and my scrapbooking. Occasionally I throw in a photo or two, do some enabling and anything else I feel like.

so that’s it in a nutshell. my blog is really just me sharing stuff. hopefully it will interest and maybe inspire.

Now on to day 2

Rock Your Blog

Do you think you are happy with your life right now? Blog about the great things in your life or what you would like to change.

I think I am fairly happy. I have a great husband, a job & a roof over our heads. I’m free t support whatever AFL team I like. I can be whichever religion I choose. I can spend all my spare time scrapping in my scrap room (if I want to lol)

I honestly can say I don’t think I’d change much in my life right now. I mean more money would be helpful. A little more help around the house would be awesome but apart from that I’m happy 🙂

& now for your veiwing pleasure

(hehe this is too cure & reminds me of Mystra when she was a kitten)
