Today is the first day of Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers over at Shimelle.com and we’ve been encouraged to get to know our readers.
Over the next three weeks I’m going to be taking this class with the hope of improving my blog and I’d love you to say g’day. Feel free to leave me a comment letting me know how you found me and I’d also love it if you let me know what type of posts you are interested in reading.
Come over and Like Bloggers of Tasmania over on Facebook.
and on another note I’m thinking about starting a Facebook fan page for the blog. What do you think? Any advice from anyone who has a fan page for their blog?
So today is the first day of Shimelle’s class Blogging for Scrapbookers (if you haven’t signed up yet and are interested – you still have plenty of time). I took this class when it originally ran in 2009 and I’m looking forward to taking it again this year.
Last time I managed to blog about each prompt. I want to create a page as well but I never got around to it. This year I’m going to create a mini album. So each day will be a little blogging followed by a digi page using that day’s prompt.
My intentions this time around
So here’s my cover for my mini album (not sure if it’ll be 8×8 or 6×6 yet – creating it at 8×8 so I have the choice)
and my first page
all bits from House of 3 Waiting for Spring kit. Font is AL Afternoon Delights
Also, Hello if you are stopping by today, either on your first visit or if you have been here before.
If you’ve been following my blog for awhile you will know of my love of all things Shimelle. She is amazing. And a WONDERFUL teacher.
I am so happy to share one of my favourite classes at Shimelle’s is being run as a live class again. Blogging for Scrapbookers. I took the class the first time around, learnt a lot, made some new friends and found a whole heap of new blogs to follow. I was inspired to blog lots.
This time around I’m hoping to do a bit more than blog. I’m hoping to scrap as well as blog. Maybe create a mini album. We’ll see how things go.
Hope to see you there 
I’ve enabled a little plugin to make browsing our site on your mobile a little easier.
I hope you like it.
from blogging.
Family stuff has come up (I have created a blog post about it – I may or may not share) & I will be taking a bit of a break from blogging for a couple of days. I’ll be checking my email but I imagine that will probably be all I do online.
Don’t worry I am fine, another family member, not so much. But at this stage I won’t share details. Just know I will be back – hopefully Sunday. If not, Monday 
So I’m slowly catching up on 31 Days to be a better blogger.
I now have an Editorial Calender (something I had already done on one of my two business blogs) and a heap of post organised for the next couple of months. Lots of exciting goodness awaits, can’t wait to share it all with you.
I’ve updated some of the pages of my blog. I have a new About page, my Scrapbook resume is more up-to-date and I’ve added a few more links to Pages I Love (go check them out, I’ll wait til you come back 
) Just a quick note on Pages I Love – it’s kinda like my blogroll but a mix of websites & blogs. I have too many to list in the sidebar & it could get kinda messy lol
I’m going to be adding a poll later today (maybe tomorrow – it all depends on Miss K). I want to here from YOU, my readers as to what you would like to see me blog about.
Ok so I have fallen a tad behind with the 31 days to a better blogger. Things got a bit busy here *sigh* don’t they always lol
Day 4 of building a better blog was to look at a top blog in our niche. Since my niche is both mummy blogger & scrap blogger, I ended up looking at two bloggers.
The scrap blogger – Katie the Scrapbook Lady
The mummy blogger – MagnetoBoldToo!
Day 6 was some reading. I do have to share a couple of the links cause I think they are great reading for all bloggers.
I’ll be back a little later with some more catching up
This blog post over at Three Little Princesses made me chuckle.
But it is true. The first time Miss K saw Dorothy she bawled until I changed the channel, same with In the Night Garden. We also said we’d never have anything Wiggles or Hi-5 in our house. Well we’re doing pretty good with Hi-5 but the Wiggles, not so much. Fortunately not on TV yet. And then there is Dora the Explorer, don’t get me started on that one. Miss K really hasn’t shown any interest.
She does, however enjoy Star Wars, Star Trek, AFL and will sit and watch The History Channel with her dad.
What do your kids enjoy? What do they hate?
Since joining Aussie Mummy Bloggers I’ve found some great new blogs. I thought I’d use my post today to share with you a few of my favourites (in no particular order).
hmm I could go on. But I will stop there 
(honestly I got side-tracked reading blogs again LOL)
Do you have a favourite Mummy blogger? Link me up so I can add to my ever growing blog list
