Hmmm, what to write?

This is my dilemma with the whole blog thing - I often have no idea of what to write... I think maybe I should share some of my life and the inner workings of my mind (such as it is LOL), and then I think, I have no idea if anyone is actually reading all this and what they want to read or see...

So if you're reading this and have some ideas for me and suggestions as to what you want here...leave me a comment and let me know! Hmmmm, maybe I should make this a bit more interesting..... OK, leave a comment and be in the random draw for one of the four Stampin' Up! SellABration sets (your choice) from the recent SellABration promotion. This isn't open to SU! demos! I'll close this on the 12th of March, and announce the winner here on my blog on the 13th March.

Oh and while you're leaving a comment - sign up to my RSS feed (box to your right here --------->
and get notification in your inbox when I've updated LOL!

I read your blog so don't worry...you're not alone! I write about some of my adventures...they tend to be largely gripes about when my kids aren't sleeping though! Mostly, I just have silly blogthings, links to other sites that boast good tips/tutorials and my own cards. I love to see people provide sketches or layouts just because I am always stumped. Would it be a problem if I linked to your contest? (BTW, I added you to my Google Reader feed so that's how I got here tonight!)

Narelle said...

I read your Blog! And I subscribe to the feed which is how I found out about this post!
I like reading about people's lives- the funny little things their kids do, the hassles they have... their success and their failures!
And you have such a wicked sense of humour!! But I still want to see your beautiful creations too!

Jen said...

I know I can't win or anything, but I read your blog too LOL! You are NOT alone out here!!

Brooke said...

I read your blog too! I love to see your cards, loved peeking at your craft room, love Stampin Up updates. A few ideas and things I would love to hear about are: what products you love to use, new ways to use old tools, interesting techniques that you've found, pictures - love pictures, a cooking story (disaster or masterpiece), what you are thinking about, things that make you happy, things that drive you nuts - anything really. It's all good.

I enjoy reading blogs to see what other stampers are doing. I enjoy looking at their cards, layouts, altered items whatever they chose to showcase. The main thing is that you do the blog for you and have fun doing it. That is what's important. Now that I've found your site, I've subscribed too.

I love to see works in projects, a picture of what inspired you to do a certain projects, stamping & scrapbooking tips, organizational ideas, pictures of your stamping room, cards, scrapbook pages.... any or all of the above makes me happy. :-)

Thanks for doing blog candy!

I just love reading about your life, whatever trips your trigger. I do the same thing on my blog. Perhaps no one else cares, few comment, but it feels so good to me to get things off my mind/chest/heart/hurt.

As I have stated many times to others, I think a little of your personal life as well as your stamping makes your blog interesting and like you are talking to old and/or new friends. This is my first visit to your blog but it will not be my last.

Unknown said...

Hi, great blog :) I enjoy reading blogs to see what other people create and to learn new tips and techniques and to get inspired! Thanks for sharing :)

Jackie said...

I just found your blog but I pretty much agree with what everyone else has said - tidbits about your life, projects in progress, cards, tutorials, tips and techniques....just about anything really!

Anonymous said...

I love reading blogs and yours is no exception. I like hearing what other people are doing, seeing their creations and learning from them.

Thanks for sharing, and keep it up!

You are definitely not alone! I mostly read blogs to get some inspiration. I love when people mention exactly what they use to make the card (you do a great job with that!) I also look around to learn new techniques, both with stamping and card folding!

Thanks for keepign a great blog and the blog candy!

Lilian said...

i agree with all the other comments... blogs are for u to share with us... and we like what we see!

keep sharing ur creativity... =)

quickcurl said...

I think your doing great so far! I think we all like seeing other peoples creations and reading about life moments. Because when it comes down to it we are all more alike then un-alike. KWIM?? We all want what's best for our kids, we all want good health. We all struggle with a lot of the same things in life. Oh I also love when people share recipes! Thanks for sharing with all of us!

Hi Traci! It might help you come up with weekly or daily themes. i.e. every Friday will be Flower Friday and you feature a card or scrapbook page with flowers on it. It depends if you want this blog to be purely stamp related or if you want to mix it up and add pictures of your family life or places you visit. I, like Allison, now have you added to my Google Reader feed so your blog will be one of my regulars. I look forward to seeing your next entries!

Lisa said...

Leah said...

I agree with several other commentators here.. I like to see what other stampers are doing... I also like to hear just about other people's lives, how they do things, how I can learn from them, etc. Your blog is great! Thanks for sharing with the rest of 'us' out here in la la land ;)

Sarebear said...

I love to feel the blogger's personality come through on their blog.

Also, for stamping blogs, of course seeing stamped cards, etc. is great; I really enjoy reading about the creating process, too.

Unknown said...

We are all human and I like to have a peek into your everyday life and what you are thinking. When that happens it is like talking to a friend. I subscribed to your blog.

Deanne Stewart-Mills said...

I love reading your blog Tracey! I am in awe of your lovely cards you make! Oh & the Craft Room revamp was so much fun to read ;)
I really love how you talk about what products you've used on your cards & any techniques you used. Loved that Emboss Resist one about a month ago. Ive heard the technique but never knew how to do it. It is so on my list of things to try ;)
Keep doing what ya doing Chickie! Loving it :)

Unknown said...

Great blog, I tend to post about the cards I have made, and also if anything is going on in my life at the time of posting if that makes any sense at all!!!! lovely blog you have - have put you in my favourites

hey AT. I'd love to see more of your scrapping and perhaps a gallery or two added in your side bar... love browsing through your stuff. This would make it super easy!! Hope you're well xx

Lisa Pate said...

Just YOU! thats what we drop in for :) To see what your creating, what your kids are up to, and what's happening in your life. It makes the rest of us feel "normal" cause we all have the same life (well parts of it). You know, stamping/scrapping, work, family, friends, things we always think is boring to everyone, but in reality is WHAT WE WANT TO READ! It's like sneaking a peak in someones diary - the only differnce is you are letting us.
