It would seem that my blog is quickly becoming filled with talk of challenges and challenges only. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. It’s almost like warm up exercises for a new blogger. I like how blogging about them makes me accountable for getting them thought through and done. I’ve always been a creative, but mostly in my head. Blogging requires that I actually put the studio time in and get the idea out of my head into some tangible form to share. This, this is a good thing.
On that note, I won’t be able to join in for Finally Friday tomorrow. Ha! The worst part is I had the greatest idea but it went poof! Ah well, next week.
I do have news on another challenge. I didn’t think I would be joining in, but when a perfect starting point practically jumped into my cart I couldn’t say no. It’s the brainchild of Sarah Goode of Pookledo, the Thrift Store Blog Hop. In essence you get £1 (today that’s a buck sixty) to spend at the Thrift store, the make something, sharing the starting point, in progress and finally the result for a blog hop on August 4th. The list is growing so please visit Sarah’s site for the full list of participants.
Here’s my start
I thought, heck I’ll use half and I’ll be at a dollar, but then I found I had a 30% card to use so score $1.40 I’m under budget on the whole deal!
Not too shabby eh? I have ideas of what I'd like to do, there's lots of flexibility here. I can't wait to see wht everyone else finds!
ooh. Interesting find! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind you blogging about it at stages as long as on the day when the blog ho happens there is a link to all of the blogs about it on your page so people can check out all the blog hops posts without having to dig for them :)
Hmm, nice choice. I have been to three shops so far and everything is both uninspiring and overpriced. And rescuing old jewelry is my passion! I really wanted to be fair about this and buy something especially for the challenge. So I won't be going into my stash unless it's an emergency.
ReplyDeleteWaht a great find! I bet you will have a lot of fun with it!
