Saturday Shuffle Blog Hop #223

 

It’s Saturday!!  Time for another blog hop.

But first, a special announcement.

I’m sad to say that this will be the last Saturday Shuffle blog hop.  Some of you may have noticed my blogs have been really quiet lately except for the blog hop which I’ve kept going all these months because I wanted to so, so much.  But, I’ve realised there are many other things in my life right now that need to be higher priority and something had to give.

It’s been fun though for me, and I hope this blog hop has been as much fun for all of you too.  I also hope someday things will change in my life enough for me to come back to regular blogging and possibly start up this blog hop once again.

Anyway, since it is the last week, let’s make it the best one!

Here’s the deal:

• Keep all links family friendly.
• It helps to follow me or leave a nice happy comment, but only if you want.
• Link whatever you want and as much as you want.
• Older links are welcome, so are giveaways and blog hops, etc.
• Please grab my button and stick it somewhere, at the very least it will make it easier for you to come back. ---->
• My favorite links will be pinned to the Official Saturday Shuffle Pinterest Board.

I have set up a blog hop directory to showcase blog hops that I personally recommend.  Feel free to check them out.

Now get to it and have fun! :)

Five a Week: Bracelets

It occurred to me that lately I haven’t been making things as much as I would like.  I’ve done a few larger projects over the space of a few months, but it’s nice to have some nice smaller one to work on throughout the week. 

So I came up with something, the Five a Week Pledge.  My goal is to make five small small crafts each week.  My original thought was seven, but I think five is a more manageable number.  The first part of the plan is to work on them all week and then post how I did each Sunday.  Now here’s the second part, I want others to join me.  All you have to do is pick something you want/need to do more frequently and pledge to do it at least five times each week.  You can grab Five a Week button if you wish, it does make it more fun.  Then just come back here each week to share what you accomplished.

And since it’s Sunday, here’s my first batch of crafts.

Bracelets.

For the first week I wanted to do something simple to ease myself in a little.  I had a bunch of faux pearl beads and stretch cord, so I started playing with them.  I love the look of pearls, they are just so pretty and can be worn in so many ways.  I can’t decide whether to keep them all for myself or list them in my shop.  And that’s more news.  I’m reopening my zibbet shop soon or actually a new, improved shop.  I’ll make a proper announcement as soon as it is open.  Look forward to it.  :)
