I am considering...

[MaryAnne]

...a member blog hop. BlogBits on the Homepage is always listed as one of the more popular features, but I fear I am no capturing all of the great stuff UKS member put on their blogs. I get a few items sent to me via PM each week but not enough! We have done Sponsor Blog Hops in the past but I think it might be nice to do a MEMBER one.

So if you think you can plan a great feature on your blog PM me - and it can be a tutorial for making anything from a layout to an embellishment to a mini-book or even a card, or you plan an extended feature (like Nabview's tips for bloggers, linked this week) then PM me. I was thinking that just after the school holidays might be a good time - frankly we wil all be a bit stir-crazy after a couple of weeks with the kids at home, don'tcha think? ) and it would be a nice jump-start both back into creativity and a way to get scrapping all the photos we will be taking!

I would want at least 20 people - just signify your interest and if you can plan that far in advance, LMK what you think you might want to feature.

If you already blog frequently, that will be the most benefit for both UKS members and for your blog.

So have a think and LMK.

Hi MaryAnne

This sounds like a good idea. Not really sure what I would have to do as a blogger. But it would be great to see other peoples blogs and get a few ideas. I'm sure that we all have out different takes on things.
I do try to Blog about 5 times a week (the word is try!)

Yep I think it would be a good idea.

I'd be up for this MA

I often do tutorials or classes anyway so I could schedule something in

[WearCraft]

I would join in if I was allowed to - but I am a sponsor so you may not want me to! I blog every day and love it! It is good for the soul! And if you join in with things like Rocking Your World Friday you gain new friends and see lots of lovely things on the way. Jenx

Oooh what a fab idea Mary Anne - I love blogging and I love following a blog hop.

Theres so much to see and learn out there in the blogging world

[cheekymole]

I too would be interested although not sure what I could share apart from a layout or two, wouldn't mind helping to set it all up either...

[MaryAnne]

I would be fine with sponsors joining in - you are also members after all

[Alibri]

I'd be happy to join in - and I could do a "Use your Stash" type article ... I do them anyway, but don't get as much time as I used to have to craft so only blog about once a week .., but then I am emigrating ... oh - and I have 20 month old twins - is that why I am so busy?

[Jimjams]

I'm sure you will get plenty of volunteers MA - possibly enough to do a couple of hops over a couple of months?

[Louise172]

ooh I like this idea, i always make sure I check out the homepage so it would be nice to follow a hop.

[MaryAnne]

I need more. Even including those who replied here, rather than just those who PMed me, I am still short. If you blog projects, pipe up. I'll compile a list and PM everyone within the next few days, Friday probably, to give you all a chance to get cracking on a scheduled post! I KNOW there are bloggers out there who blog frequently and inspiringly so look at this as a nice way to highlight your bog!

[Hysteri-CAL]

I'll join in please ... just let me know when and time, and I'll get something sorted x

[Beautifullily]

Have just PM'd you

[Wannabe Rebel]

Mary Anne - I would be willing to participate - I blog on average 3 times a week if I can.
As you are aware - I often offer freebies and am currently blogging about my project life style album.

I am not sure of the subject matter yet but I am sure I could come up with something.

[poohbear]

Well I do blog regularly and usually craft stuff but I'm not entirely sure my blog is what you had in mind.
