My 1st Blog-A-Thon!

I have never before participated in any sort of "blog-a-thon."  I currently haven't been posting much at all because my access to internet has been solely from my office computer.  Today's post is brought to you by a bicycle trip to campus and most likely a rainy trip back judging by the sky.



So I would like to say thank you to WordCount for their annual blogging event and whatever article they wrote (I now can't remember what it was) that lead me to their site and allowed me to find out about this blog-a-thon! 

Thanks to Michelle Rafter's post 25 ways to blog every day I have created a contingency plan for how I am going to write a blog every day this month!  So feel free to read below if you're interested and HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE and make sure that I do this! 

WordCount 2011 Blog-a-thon Plan:
May 1st-1st Day/Contingency Plan
May 4th-Theme Day #1 "My top 5 favorite books on writing are..." I will actually most likely be skipping this in honor of "Wordless Wednesday" where I will be posting a photo on Wednesdays with few to no words.
May 10th-Blog-a-thon Haiku Day (I'm terrible at these but am determined to write one)
May 11th-Wordless Wednesday
May 16th-Guest post/exchange day
May 18th-Wordless Wednesday
May 24th- Theme Day #2 "My top 5 favorite places to write are..."
May 25th-Wordless Wednesday
May 30th-Wordle Day
May 31st-VICTORY POST!

This list includes all of the Events Calendar from Word Count and leaves me breathing a little easier with appoximately 1/3 of my posts planned already!  Here's hoping ideas for the other 21 posts will be just as easy as this plan was!

Wish me luck!

Shoes

Shoes Shania Twain Tell me about it... Ooh! Men. Have you ever tried to figure them out? Huh, me too, but I ain't got no clue How 'bout you? Men are like shoes Made to confuse Yeah, there's so many of 'em I don't know which ones to choose (yeah, yeah, yeah) Ah, sing it to me If you agree There's the kind made for runnin' The sneakers and the low down heels The kind that will keep you on your toes And every girl knows how that feels (yeah, yeah, yeah) Ouch, ah, sing it with me Chorus: You've got your kickers and your ropers Your everyday loafers, some that you can never find You've got your slippers and your zippers Your grabbers and your grippers Man, don't ya hate that kind? Some you wear in, some you wear out Some you wanna leave behind Sometimes you hate 'em And sometimes you love 'em I guess it all depends on which way you rub 'em But a girl can never have too many of 'em It's amazing what a little polish will do...

DIY Wood Stencil Sign

I purchased these cute blank signs from Target--here's what the original item looked like.  The original item Then I created a stencil using 631-this is removable vinyl.  I chose removable vinyl mostly because I had ordered a large number of a color I didn't intend to use again and had extra, also it works great for things like ceramics where you're worried 651 permanent vinyl won't remove easily.  The key for me was USE TRANSFER TAPE.  In the past a majority of my bleeding has been from the centers of the letters because I was individually placing them by hand and they weren't sealing properly.  Transfer tape not only removes me individually placing letter centers, but it also gives you a better seal.  Just take an old credit card and burnish your transfer tape FOREVER.   I had to use two layers of transfer tape cause my roll isn't wide enough.  I mean, burnish until you think there can't possibly be any bubbles under that piece of viny...

Crafting Fails

Let's be honest, sometimes things just don't go as planned.  Like when you have this brilliant idea to do screen printing on the cheap and your ink runs everywhere.  Ink bleeding everywhere Or when you melt the fabulous tote bag you were working on.  Melted Mandala Sometimes you just have to admit that you don't know what you're doing and Google it.  And that's what I do.  So look out for some tutorials in the near future of things that I've probably screwed up previously and finally gave in and Googled how to do.   What sort of things have you failed at recently?
