Hi Everyone!! I'm so excited to share with you this new forum! There are many of us that practice our writing skills and share our lives (and scrapbook pages) with family and friends by keeping a blog. Here's a link to a thread Samara started that contains the links to many DSP members' blogs:
Do You Blog? (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10246)
I've decided to take this idea one further and challenge everyone to update their blogs regularly and/or do more journaling on their scrapbook pages. Watch this forum for daily prompts and challenges to keep you going!!
And feel free to add a link to your blog in your signature, or post it here so we can all come visit you!!

I don't blog, but we have our own web site, does that count?
Okay, my challenges won't necessarily have prizes, but I do mean them in the traditional sense of the word. I CHALLENGE you to sit down each day and write something! If you don't keep a blog, then try journaling on a scrapbook page!
Since we're in the middle of celebrating DSP's 2nd birthday, today's challenge is to write about your birthdays. Good or bad, presents, traditions, whatever you want!
Link here if you update your blog today (even if you don't write about your birthday) or if you create a scrapbook page on this theme.
And as an added bonus, there is a present waiting at my blog for any of you that want it. Enjoy! And Happy Writing!
Here is mine. I need to update :D
http://www.tatesmom.blogspot.com/
Absolutely Beth! I've seen it and you use it to tell short stories! That's a blog to me! And besides, this is for practicing our journaling skills too! So you can share your stories on your scrapbook pages if you like. Just let us know when you have something to share!

I've got one - new & improved:
http://readwhat42.blogspot.com
I'm feeling pretty proud of myself today because I finally got all 3 columns to look right in both IE and Firefox last night, after 3 days of work. I don't know what it looks like ona Mac though.
I highly recommend www.bloglines.com for keeping track of your favorite blogs. It lets you subscribe to them (via a link in your favorites) and then it keeps track of them. You just go to bloglines.com and all your subscribed feeds are there, with the new posts listed. :)
Sandersmr
04-03-2006, 01:41 PM
I agree with Stacey on Bloglines - I love it.
OK, I've updated my blog with my birthday story - since it was just a couple of weeks ago.

I updated my blog today too - http://scrappycat.blogspot.com/ - and I actually wrote about my birthday (which was about 3 months ago).
Thanks to those of you who joined in yesterday!! I hope we can keep each other motivated to keep writing. Don't forget to go back every once in a while and see if there's anything in your blog that would make a great scrapbook page!
And those of you that are going straight to the scrapbook pages, don't forget to let us know if you do one that goes with our challenges, I'd love to see it!
Today's prompt is to write about something you don't like doing, but you do it anyway. Link here when you're done, so we can see! I've done mine, my blog link is in my signature!
Great job, girls! Tuesday's prompt is up! Hope you give me more to read!

Anyway, I posted my story in my blog:

Today's prompt is to write about change. Changes in your kids, yourself, the weather, the world, whatever you want.
Don't forget to link here when you're done! I'm off to do mine now!
Better late than never!!! I'm so glad you're participating!
Maggie and Sharia, and any other Blogger users out there, if you want us to be able to leave you a comment, please adjust your settings to allow non-Blogger users to comment. I would love to let you know I've stopped by, but I'm not part of the "In" club! ;)

Sharia and Stacey, I didn't want you to think I hadn't visited...Blogger won't allow comments right now and I'm about to sign off for the night. I really appreciate you girls sharing your posts with the rest of us. Seems like I can relate to every one I read. Guess that the world of being a mom, or a woman, or a scrapper, or, heck, a human!
I'll post another prompt tomorrow!
Hi girls! Today's prompt is actually scrapbooking related! :eek:
Tell us why you scrapbook, or anything about your experience with scrapbooking.
Remember to link back here (even if you write about something else).
I've updated, link is in my sig!

Lisa! Your blog looks great, I'm so glad you've joined us. And yes, all you have to do is link to the daily thread whenever you update, so we know to come visit you. This "challenge" is all about encouraging people to journal more and to help you get some memories written down that you may later want to go back and scrap.
If you can, or want to, go into your Blogger options and change it to allow non-Bloggers to comment. I'll leave you comments as often as I can!

You guys, this thread is so making me want to blog!! I'm enjoying reading all of yours and am starting to be convinced that any scrapper worth her salt has to have a blog!
Come join us, Glynis! You know you waaaaaaannnnnt to!

You gotta get a blog Glynnis!! It's easy & fun!
All right, girls, you're on your own for the weekend! Post a layout, tell us what you're doing, tell us how bored you are, whatever!
You can still link here if you update, I'll come visit you!

I don't have a BLOG :( Where can you get one started? I had never heard of them until I became a member here at DSP!
Karooch
04-09-2006, 08:15 AM
I use my blog to put bits and pieces and stories that I might use for journalling later on. I try to make it interesting for visitors as well as being for myself. I was never much good at keeping a diary so this is a bit of a training ground for me. Please take a look and tell me what you think.
Stacey42
04-09-2006, 10:11 AM
www.blogger.com is probably the fasters & easierst way to get started & it is free!
Judyy
04-09-2006, 03:47 PM
Updated as ordered! I'm not doing many new layouts lately, but I AM doing better at keeping up with my blog. Otherwise, I'm mostly training for my upcoming bike tour--gotta start taking my camera with me on those rides.
Great job, girls! I've updated mine, too! A couple of LOs, a bit of grumpiness, and happy ending!
Sandersmr
04-09-2006, 04:58 PM
I've added some more to my blog today - probably not good news about one of my "boys" - ask Judy, they are part of the family, too.
Karooch
04-10-2006, 05:00 AM
Here's my piece on change. It's called My Sanctuary.
http://karooch.wordpress.com/
Today, use a quote in your writing. It doesn't have to be by a famous person, you can quote a family member if you like! And I'm hoping that Tina's quote will be "Outwit, outplay, outbirthday", so we can find out how Tate's amazing birthday party went!
I'll post here later when I've updated mine (my dd is on spring break, so computer time is hard to find). Those of you that have been by mine, are you able to leave comments? Judy left one and mentioned she needed a password. It should be open to everyone and if it isn't I need to do some searching. Let me know if you have a chance. Thanks!
Judyy
04-10-2006, 10:51 AM
I agree that blogger is the easiest way to get started. I checked out typepad, which is great and offers more flexibility, but at a price. Lots of dsp members use typepad and they have wonderful blogs.
But if I had to pay to blog, it would make me feel nervous and guilty if I didn't update all the time. But with blogger, I do it whenever, and if I don't, well, so what? I want my blog to be an outlet for my thoughts, feelings, and creativity, not another stress-producer in my life. LOL
Sandersmr
04-10-2006, 11:05 AM
Amen, Judy!!!! I use my blog a lot to vent when I feel like I don't have anywhere to go. And I use it to capture random thoughts. But I don't want to feel I HAVE to journal.
Sandersmr
04-10-2006, 12:12 PM
I did this one a couple of weeks ago... when I blogged the Psalm 23 story that was the inspiration for this layout:

I love your blog, Meg. I wanted to comment and yes, it did ask me for my Microsoft .NET password. Luckily, I'm a computer nerd and I actually had one!!
onyxelle
04-10-2006, 04:42 PM
okay..i've been out of town since thursday, with NO net access..so I've got some blogging to do both on my scrappiness blog AND my regular one.
actually, my last blog entry has a tiny quote in it from Alexis, but i'm going to add another with a real quote later on.
onyxelle
04-10-2006, 05:00 PM
yippee !!! I updated based on today's prompt.
http://onyxelle.blogspot.com
Thanks everybody for your comments and for letting me know about the password. I have it set for public, but apparently msn does that anyway. Oh well. I'm off to go a-reading!
Glynis, when are you getting your blog set up????
gracelikerain
04-10-2006, 05:24 PM
Soon! You guys seem to be having so much fun--I can't wait to join in! And I have so much fun reading other people's blogs. Why is that?? :) :)
Sandersmr
04-10-2006, 07:15 PM
Meg - you have to have a passport log in to comment in msn. That's one of the things I don't like about them. Xanga is the same way.

Oh talk about missing something big time. I started a blog not to long ago. I was gearing it towards photography more so than scrapping, but I do post some layouts in it. It's new and it's starter stages, so I hope this will qualify.

Meg, the same thing happened to me as to Judy when I tried to leave a comment. The site told me "You must sign in using a Microsoft .NET Passport to publish a comment to this website." So it looks like it only allowsvisitors who are registered with Microsoft.NET to be able to comment. Typical of Microsoft trying to control the world, I guess.

Laura, I'm so glad you joined us, and your pictures are gorgeous! I'm looking forward to seeing your spring pics from Michigan. Love your quote too!
Hi girls! I just got back from the commissary, so today's prompt is food!

I have 2 blogs, one all about my gardening musings, www.lauraloub.blogspot.com
and one that is a heritage blog about the old photos and the stories of the people in them.
www.lauraloubheritage.blogspot.com
There are comments on the heritage one but they are all spam-type comments. I want to delete them and there is a little garbage can at the bottom of each comment but it just goes to a TrueFind spammy page. Should I just start over.
On the other one I can't find how to allow comments. I am just so confused! Yours all look SO cool. Are you just creating yours with your own expertise with HTML?
onyxelle
04-12-2006, 07:40 PM
okay..i found the slide,k found how to add it to my blog - but why is mine horizontal and y'alls are all vertical? argh!
Victorious!! After hours of pouring through html formatting code, I found the Comments On/Off button in the Edit Post screen! :o
Isn't the Slide thingie cool? That's one of the main reasons I switched to Blogger, my old blog wouldn't allow anything outside their template to be embedded. Go into where you pasted the formatting code and find the width & height numbers halfway through. Switch them. I think it will end up width="200" height="600"
Let me know if you need help, I have all my formatting saved to a Notepad file, lol!
LOL, Laura, I spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out html and then found a little button that said Comments On/Off. Go into your setting and there is a tab for comments. You need to set it to allow anyone to comment, but I suggest also clicking on the Word Verification button, it will hugely reduce spam.

I am just so confused! Yours all look SO cool. Are you just creating yours with your own expertise with HTML?
LOL Laura! I spent hours trying to create a blog with whatever program comes with my SBC Yahoo account. After I couldn't figure out how to get a picture inserted, I gave up and went to blogger.com. This is like blogging for dummies. I used one of their templates and got started right away. I did have to figure out how to post my png files to my Yahoo web account so that I could link to them from the blog. For how much I use the computer I should be more html and internet savvy. But, such is life. For now I am content with a user friendly blog :)
I'm looking forward to checking out everyone's blog's when I get home from work tonight.
Carla
04-12-2006, 09:23 PM
LOL Laura! I went to check out both of your Blogs and they are both GREAT! Meg, I am glad that you finally figured it out. I was going to leave instructions here but see that I don't need to!!! If you guys need help, I am always happy to if I can!

I am ging to keep my gardening blog, but I started a new one just for journaling and I am hoping to catch up on the past prompts. The new Blog has the humor prompt finished already but I "lost" it last night. Today...there it was.
http://lauraloubscrapping.blogspot.com/
It looks like comments ARE turned on, but who knows. This is not an easy site to navigate.
Canay, I think it's just Slide.com, but you can go to one of our and at the bottom there's a link button to take you to the right place.
Samara, thanks for joining us!!! Great story!
Laura, I wish I could see your screen. I think you're doing what I did, and are missing something that's easier than you're making it. If you have your comments turned on in the main comment settings screen, go into your edit posts screen. Edit each post and at the bottom of that area, there should be a button that says something like "comments for this post on/off". Since you adjusted your settings, you have to manually do the others. You should have comments from now on though.
Everyone, I'm so excited by the involvement here!! My Favorites list is getting loooooooong!! I'll be posting today's prompt in a bit!

Forget my other blogs unless you are into gardening and heritage. I will be trying to catch up on the past prompts this morning then I will be officially onboard. WOuld LOVE to have some comments, and I will be reading yours and commenting.
I won't be able to do mine until later, but reading Laura's gave me an idea for today's prompt. Share some homespun advice, old wives tales, or quirky family phrases!
Remember that you can post here even if you don't use my prompt!
Today's prompt is up, and Laura, you were the inspiration!

Blogger has an option, somewhere in the settings about email. It has an option you can activate that lets you email your post in. I tried it today but it did something weird with the line breaks & I had to go back in through blogger & edit it. Not sure if I have something set wrong in my email that creates that or not.

I'm the same Karen. I was never any good at keeping a journal or diary. But I would love to look back at my memories in months or years to come, so I really must put in a bit of effort.
Today you get a two-for-one deal!! I'm helping you prepare your journaling for the fabulous layout you are going to enter into Bethy's Bring On Spring challenge!!!
Here are the details for her challenge: Bring On Spring (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13012)
So obviously, the prompt for today involves flowers! (Laura, I expect you to put the rest of us to shame on this one!) What flowers do you love, what flowers are you growing, what flowers scream "Spring" to you?
So, go do your blog, then get out and get some pictures and enter your amazing layouts into the Bring On Spring challenge!!
Today's prompt is up!

Again, on the weekends, you're on your own for blog ideas! Show us what you're working on, let us know what you and your families are doing, etc.
Plus, some of us will be celebrating Easter, if you do anything special for that, share your traditions. Or reflect on past Easters and family gatherings.
Whatever you write about, let us know here when you update. And have a great weekend!

Monday At The Office (http://www.hallmark.com/ECardWeb/ECV.jsp?a=2309941820714M110327502Y)
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! Welcome back to the week! :rolleyes:
So, I took my daughter to school this morning, all excited to be there after a long week of vacation, and SURPRISE, they have one more day off! I read the calendar wrong apparently, although it never occurred to me to check if Spring Break would continue through Monday. :confused: So now I have one more day of full-time kiddos to entertain and my cleaning plans have gone out the window (oh darn!), we'll have to do some playing and enjoy this extra day instead!
What do you do when faced with an unexpected change (for good or bad) in plans? Does it throw you off completely or are you the type to roll with the punches? (Sharia, I know you just blogged about a similar occurrence, so give us an update, did life get better? Any unplaned benefits from spending the day with your husband instead of a free day to yourself?)
That's your prompt girls! I'll be updating later today and I'll post here when I'm done. Have fun writing!

Hi y'all. I'm still new to all of this and this caught my eye. I have read some of your blogs and they are really cool! How do I begin this? Once I complete the blog, do I post the update each time? I'm sorry if you have answered these questions a million times but thanks!
Hi Pat! In this Scrap Blogs forum I post a daily thread with writing prompts. You can choose to use them or ignore them completely, but any day that you update your blog, let us know by posting in that day's thread, so we can come visit you! (Wow, that was a long sentence, I hope Judy doesn't see it!) I started this whole thing as a way to encourage people to write a little every day, but don't feel like you have to use my prompt.
Some of us have our blog links in our signatures, some people just give us a link in their posting when they update. Let us know if you need any help or have any more questions. Glad you're thinking of joining us!!!
Just a warning girls, I wrote a novel! When I picked this topic, I had no idea that I had so much to say!! I'm going to go read yours' now!!

Today's prompt is inspiration. Where do you find it, how do share it, what do you do when you're out of it, etc.
I encourage you to check out Karen B's CK Top Ten New Faces challenge (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12993), also. I know scraplifting is one of my main sources of scrapping inspiration, and these are supposedly the best of the best!

My parents read to me a lot, especially at bedtime. WHen I was teaching I tried to get parents to read more to their children and for longer than when the child learns to read for himself. A child should be read to at 1-2 years above his or her independant reading level to challenge the intellect and imagination...and well into the sixth grade. For 6th, 7th and 8th grades I was lucky enough to have teachers who read a chapter a day from exciting books to the class. In high school, 11th and 12th grades Mr. McLaughlin read Shakespear to the class daily. I would just get CHILLS! He was my favorite teacher.
Looks like I just wrote another blog here. LOL Anyway, I did share in my blog, the books I have been reading this year so far.

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. Hubby was home after working three days and he will be gone now for five days so it was the only evening we had to spend together. And gosh darn it I actually had to work at work and had no time to blog. What's up with that?
Just a funny story...I finally got up the nerve to share my blog with my hubby. He checked it out while he was at the firehouse. He called me up the day before yesterday and told me he checked out my blog but he had a question. He wanted to know if DH stood for dumb husband. We got a good laugh. Funny how the internet has developed a lingo on its own. And not everyone chats, crops and blogs :)
First of all, everyone think good thoughts for Stacey42 who is at the dentist RIGHT NOW getting a dreaded root canal!!!! :(
Now, your prompt for today involves photos too. Take a photo today of anything and tell us about it. It doesn't have to be art, just a candid of anyone, a pic of your desk, the flowers in your garden, yourself in the mirror, whatever. Then journal about the moment. Off you go!

I have a daily calendar that includes a quote from Scripture along with a statement that complements the quote. Today's statement jumped out at me: Life's three most helpful words: "I forgive you."
Here's this weekend's blog prompt:
Is there someone who you need to forgive? Maybe it's even yourself. Was there a time that you decided to forgive someone? Did you do it? How did you feel afterwards?
I'll post mine in a short time.

I think it was wonderful that you were able to forgive. And your right they don't fret over it and we are the only ones hurting. So you do need to let go sometimes. But it's very very hard.
Thanks for sharing that story with us.

Mine is now posted.
I just wanted to thank you, CompooperTeacher (I'm sorry, I don't know your "real" name!), for jumping in and doing a prompt for this weekend. My weekend blogging is always inconsistent and I figure everyone else's is too, so I don't usually post a specific prompt. How fun to get inspiration from someone else!!
That said, I appologize for not blogging this weekend! :o All my computer time has been spent working on my class and my brain is empty!!
I did want to comment on your prompt though. I appreciate the theme, because even though I didn't write, it really made me think. It is such a personal issue for me but because my extended family reads my blog, and they are the ones that would be applicable to the theme, I won't be writing about it there. I didn't want you to think that I didn't like and appreciate your prompt.
Thanks again! And I'll post tomorrow's prompt in the morning!

That's okay, Meg. I can completely understand why you wouldn't want others to read your post; thinking about it is a step in the right direction.
What I read on my inspirational calendar was so thought-provoking that I thought it would be good fodder for a blog. I imagine that it's tough to come up with topics every day - LOL. Is that where you got the idea for us to blog about inspiration?????
By the way . . . I'm Dodie.
Looking forward to tomorrow's prompt!

I updated mine too. Boy, this was a hard one.
Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem. ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
Use the theme of animals/pets or this quote as your prompt.
Happy Monday to you!
Today's prompt is up! Happy Blogging!

Dodie huh? I've never met anyone named that except my sister in law. That's not her real name, either. Her name is Dorothy- but her grandparents have called her Dodie her entire life. :)

Oh weird.
I was walking the dog the other day and was actually thinking of a blog entry that had to do with her.
Are you hiding a tiny camera in my head Meg?? LOL

blogger is acting very janky today. I set up a blog for a new creative team that I'm on as a way to keep in touch and post our layouts for the designer - and it's been behaving very unfriendly today

Yes - Blogger is being skanky today! It's not saving my post - which was as follows:
Give Me Restraint!
Oscar has been missing Buddy as much as the rest of us. He quit eating for a couple of days and has been moping around the house - finally starting to come out of it a little this week, but then we've had to leave him alone a lot this weekend. So while I was at the International Festival, I went by the Dalmation Rescue League's booth. They had the cutest 3-month old female Rottweiler. She is amazingly well-behaved for a puppy - already knows sit and sorta knows come - probably as well as Oscar knows come.
She would definitely give Oscar a run for his money. She will grow into a big dog. She would give Oscar someone to play with and tussle with. She's still a puppy. She's so cute. She will grow into a big dog!
OK, can you see that I'm trying to show some restraint here?

finally, blogger is working again and I got mine updated!
Darn it, you figured me out! That's how I choose my blog prompts! I have itty bitty cameras inside all of your heads and I steal your ideas! That's how I get my scrapping ideas, too! bwahahahahahha!
Ok, seriously now, I'm off to do my blog, I'm just prepping some pictures.
Maggie, I knew this would be a tough one for you and I'm sorry for that. But I'm happy to hear you're looking for a new friend for Oscar, I'm sure he's really lonely.

I did mine, though I am not sure it went through.

My gardening blog is as much about the animals as about the garden and plants. I will just condense it into a single scrapbook entry, but to read it ALL you would have to read my gardening blog from entry #1.

My blog is done, but I added one about the Red WIngs above it so just scroll down if you want to read about my garden animals.

I would still be Dorothy if my name was Dorothy. But I was burdened with Dolores. Yuck.
Funny thing, though. I always said that if I moved somewhere where NO ONE knew me, I would start to go by my middle name (Elaine). When we moved to Florida 26 years ago, my husband was the only person here who knew me. A perfect time to start going by Elaine, right? Did I do it? No, of course not. So I am still Dodie. Probably will always be Dodie. I can't believe how many people mispronounce it -- it's DOUGH-DEE. But I get DOODIE, DOTTY, you name it.
Sure wish I was Amanda, Jane, Melody, Anna, Mary, or Sue. Dolores - yuck! I've even considered a legal name change, but I think it would make my parents upset.
LOL Dodie!! That is how my GMIL says my SIL's nickname: Dough-Dee :D

I spent the weekend working on layouts for the CK Top Ten New Faces Scraplift Challenge so I had no time to blog. But I just got a short one up since the topic was animals. My eyes are actually burning from looking at the computer screen. I need some sleep. Tomorrow I need to catch up on chores before my hubby gets back from being gone for five days. Which is why I could put in a marathon scrapping spree. But it will be back to reality on Wednesday:)
