I am taking next week off from blogging to focus on some other things I need to do. However, I've left a little something for each day of the week if you are looking for something to read, see, make or do (yes I know, like you don't have enough to do already!).
1.You might like to READ an interview I did with Rowe at SocieteAmore about my views on blogging.
2. Or perhaps SEE my new internet soap opera called Search and You Will Find. This tongue in cheek soap opera (a work in progress) is based on all the search terms that people use to end up on my blog. If you aren't using Google Analytics DO. It's highly amusing.
3. Maybe EAT cake! And not any kind of cake, but Classic Coffee Walnut cake. MAKE this one. It's so easy and tastes so good.
4. FIND your creativity. JOIN everyone at Remembering Paris to PAINT up a storm for the Inch by Inch Art Project.
5. WRITE a story in 100 words. JOIN in The Raisin Chronicles fantastic Fiction Friday writing contests.
6. WATCH and LAUGH as Ellen DeGeneres gives the commencement day address at Tullane University.
7. DESIGN your own blogger header, mosaics, posters etc using Big Huge Labs.
And finally, this one is the extra icing on the cake - VISIT Fleur de Aleta and be inspired by Aleta's moving and precious stories about her inspirational Mother.
I will visit you all over the weekend and be back in a week! Have fun!!
Enjoy your week off, Lilly! By the way, I'm going to get to eat some cake tomorrow -- going to a wedding! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a GREAT week!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week off!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week off... thank you for all these lovely links! The writing, the cake and Ellen especially. By the way, I received my Sam prints and am so very happy with them. Thank you again for the fabulous giveaway!xo
ReplyDeleteOh, my, Lilly...LOL...looks like you are going to keep me busy while you are away! LOL
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break!
Have a great week off Lilly :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Lilly! And enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWill miss ya while you are gone, but we'll of course be ready when you are for your return! I will of course have fun checking out your links :)
ReplyDeleteA whole week off, how nice for you! ENJOY! In the meantime, I'll be working my way through your interesting to-do list. All sound like fun!
ReplyDeleteI love you Lilly. Enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you, I love Ellen's speech. Tulane is where Bronson is going and it jumped up a notch in my book after watching that.
I think my eyes just about popped out of my head! You mentioned my blogs about Mom. Awww... Lilly ~ that was touching. Thank you!
ReplyDelete(By the way, if you get a moment, Greg was the guest blogger... he said it was getting too serious with the last 4 blog posts about Mom and I suggested he guest blog. He's a character!)
Did you know that Ellen DeGeneres is from New Orleans - I'm all for number 6.
Hmmm.. # 7 sounds fun too.
Will miss your blogging, come back soon!
come back soon! I should check out number 7.
ReplyDeletethat's agreat list! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good time!
Your suggestions are great ('fatafati' is the Bengali word for it - no connection with 'fat').
ReplyDeleteI already read Aleta's blog regularly. The write a story and design your blog suggestions were especially helpful. Thanks,
and be back soon!
Have a good blogcation. I hope you get everything done you need to do!
ReplyDeleteLilly;
ReplyDeleteHave a good week off from blogville. Do what ever you have to or want to do and then please comeback! I will miss you but will have fun with what you left behind for us to read and do!!
Thanks for the shout out. What is the sunset clause? Lovely picture, by the way.
ReplyDeletehope you enjoy your week off. I think we all need a break from blogging now and then to accomplish other things.. :)
ReplyDeleteHAve fun.
Aw did you give us homework? I will miss you even for a week.
ReplyDeleteI'll eat cake for you Lilly, no worries :))
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week Lilly.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week off. I'll try a few of your suggestions. I already did a fiction Friday post, but I do believe it's more than a hundred words, LOL. Not sure I can write in 100 words. I also created a new blogger header, as a matter of fact I created a new blog. I'm not that good at making a cake, so I'll leave that to some other adventurous souls. I read your suggestions, and let you know what I think. Not much into soap operas, so I think I'll pass on that.
ReplyDeleteMost important though, really enjoy your week off!
Have a great week, Lilly!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks but no thanks regarding the "to possibly do" list; I've got my own to work on :)
Ha!
