Blogging about blogging

So I finally decided to write another post.  I was inspired by seeing others' posts and realizing I needed to jump back on this wagon.  At least I'll get in a couple ideas before January is over O_O.

I was looking at a friend's blog link on FB.  At the top of the Blogger site you can click on a link that says "Next Blog>>"  See it??  So because I was procrastinating writing my own blog/uploading pictures/washing dishes/sending an e-mail/and half a dozen other things, I clicked the dang link. 

I immediately fell upon a page that looked pretty awesome and artsy.  The girl's most recent post was about this really cool website right hur.  I especially liked this picture among others:

I returned to the girl's blog and was just scrolling down quickly while browsing.  She had a bunch of magazine-like clothing/accessory collages.  All of it was pretty trendy.  I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this post: 
"I'm turning 15 today.
Nine of my friends are coming over at 6pm and seven are staying the night.
Can't wait!"
Record-stopping screech sound...what the hill?!  This girl is fifteen and her blog is FAR cooler than mine.  I really need to step my game up.

I've decided to do a 365 Project/ 365 Day Photo Challenge.  I started it on Facebook, but will also post weekly on my blog.  On days that I don't forget to take a picture, it can be hard to narrow it down to 1 picture.  I think I might post a couple per day here.  So there goes, now you can see a weekly photo montage of my life.  I figure that way even if I don't write a ton, everyone can still get an update.  Interestingly enough, the same gal that made me think to write tonight, is the one I got the photo challenge idea from.  If by chance you're reading, thanks Emily!

I went back to check out the collages the young girl had built.  You can make them on this fabulously fun site:  Polyvore.  Here's my first attempt:





Ok, this is enough for one night.  I might have to add those photo challenge pictures later...

  4. Erin- I saw that she was fifteen in 2009, but I also realized that everything I like about her blog, she added in 2009...so not better haha!

    Emily- You're the one that gave the idea for the 365! I would always see your pictures when you put them up on Facebook. I love Seoul, but it's no Hawaii :)
