69. Find and subscribe to 10 new blogs


1.  I'm very into DIY projects and found this site while browsing thru Pinterest links one day.  I like it - most of the projects seem actually feasible!

2.  While this isn't necessarily a written blog, I find it hilariously amusing.  Mostly because I like to put stuff on my dog as well.  Nicely done Scout!

3.  This is a travel blog, written by my friend Lisa.  It details her current Round the World adventure with her travel buddy, Matt.  I love reading it and most recently enjoyed her "I snorkeled" post.  www.destination-adventure.com

4.  I got turned onto this post based on a posting that circulated via one of the Facebook pages I "like".  It's an interesting take on what it's like to be a Lakota (woman) living in the urban city.  I need to read more of her postings but she writes with intellect and common sense which is appealing to me.

5.  I found this blog while cruising on Facebook.  I loved the picture, which was of this guy doing his daughter's hair.  Apparently it's slightly controversial to some and causes anger...to others, it's cute and is a good example of what a good dad looks like.  After reading the post he wrote about it and a few others, I've decided to try to read it more often and add it to my list.

6.  My friend Josh was featured as one of the strangers in this guy's project "10 Minutes with a Stranger" and posted about it on his Facebook page.  It's a really cool concept and a nice way to travel around the country, meeting new people while seeing new things and gaining perspective.   After reading some of the posts, I decided to check out the blog:  http://sethhancock.com/10-Minutes-with-a-Stranger/1/

7.  I just got some new-to-me furniture that needed a little facelift and I needed some help figuring out exactly how to do it correctly.  Where else would you go but the Internet?  Well, upon searching, I found this blog:  http://www.refunkmyjunk.com  Not only is it helpful, it's also written with humor!  Happy re-funking!

8.  While walking around Taste of Colorado 2014 in Civic Center park, came across this artist's tent.  It was jam packed so we didn't get to spend much time looking at his artwork so I took note of his name and just googled him.  Thankfully he has a website with some super-impressive artwork.  He also has a blog where he does a sketch a day.  I really like it and am looking forward to adding a piece to my collection in the very near future!  Now...which one do I want??

9.  I am an avid DIY'er because I firmly believe there are very few things that I can't actually make myself.  There is however a balance to find between making it yourself and paying for somebody else to make it.  It's a struggle I deal with all the time!  Anyhow, this website is cute.  I came upon it while looking at Pinterest - found a really cute no-sew teepee that someday I may decide to make the twins.  In the meantime, I will just read this blog and think about all the things I can do myself.  http://www.thehandmadehome.net/

10.  I am just getting into using my new sewing machine and was looking for some easy to practice projects. This site has a few that I would like to try, but my first one will be the ragged edge baby burping blankets! Wish me luck!  Http://www.homemadebyjill.com/blog spot

About Me

My photo
I was born and raised in Rapid City, SD. Loved growing up there and am a little sad that my theoretical kids won't be able to grow up there - unless, God forbid, I move back. I moved away for college to Omaha, NE. I went to Creighton University. Great education, great professors - not a good place for young people with an itch for action! I moved to Denver in August of 2004 and love it! I recommend that all people live in at least one other place besides their hometown - the world is so full of opportunities, we just have to move out of comfort zones!
