Hi, my name is Linda and I am a 25 year old law student living in Manhattan. I blog over at My Passion Is... about my life, scrapbooking, DIY crafts, photography, exploring NYC & more. I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make]. If the box doesn’t fit perfectly in those shapes that’s alright, just piece them together using packaging tape to hold the squares together. Once you cover them i...
'Writing engaging posts' - not to sound cynical, but if people need help being able to write engaging material, maybe blogging isn't for them? Why start a blog is you can't write and can't come up with ideas?
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I'll still keep an eye out on all your stuff. I could really do with reading up on the technical aspects :)

Heh, you'd be surprised. Lol. I've read some really boring blogs out there. ;P
DeleteBut seriously, no one can be perfect at everything right? Especially not all the time and most especially not when you first start something. That's what classes and tutorials and lessons are for. Besides, I would bet that even Shakespeare struggled with ideas sometimes - that's part of the creative process and not something any human can help.
This is a great idea, I am always looking to make my blog better, more inviting. I know that I write creatively enough but I believe we can always get better:)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to this series! You've got some good topics, and I can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea! i cant wait! xx Elly @ jazzlipsandtulips
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this series, Jen! You so brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a superdeeduperdee great idea Jen! Coun't me in, I'll be the one in the front of the class-room bugging you with tons of questions! And about the topic of "writing engaging posts", here's my thoughts (whether anyone wants to hear it or not)everyone needs a little help every now and then or maybe even often...so what! And I'm sure there are many katillion (<don't even know if thats a word) reasons why someone starts a blog BUT whatever the reason...it's their own. So I feel this is a good service you are offering! Just voicing my thoughts here....Tootles!
