Blog Hops
Blog Hops. What is a blog hop you ask? A blog hop, or link up is basically a widget, called a linky, that allows bloggers to add their blog to a list. The list can be on multiple sites or may just be on the site of the blogger hosting the hop. Blog hops allow you to visit other blogs, follow blogs you like, and gain followers.
I belong to four blog hops. Each week, I go to each of these hops and follow 5-10 bloggers per hop. This means I follow 20-40 new blogs each time. I am lucky if I get one blogger out of all of them to follow me back. How does everyone else do it? I follow these blogs and leave a comment as to how I found them along with a link back to my blog. Not sure what else to do to get more bloggers to follow me back.
What are your thoughts on blog hops? How successful are you on these hops?

What Am I Doing With My Life?
I am so frustrated. Everything I try to do goes nowhere. I am having no luck in selling on Etsy or at the vendor mall that my items are in. I want to do some craft shows but every time I get an application for one, there is something more important going on that day or weekend. I can't seem to get my photography business going. I have had one paying job and that was for a friends wedding which was very informal and really not a lot of photo ops because, there weren't really that many people there. I have two maternity shoots coming up but guess what....... they are for my daughters which means, I am doing it as a gift.
As far as finding a real job??? Well, that is a joke in this area we live in. There really isn't anything unless you are in the medical field or can drive a truck. Part of it is my fault because I am at the point in my life that I do not want to work holidays or weekends.
So, here I am with 2 grandchildren on the way wondering what the hell am I doing with my life.

Recovering From Surgery
It has been one week since my surgery. I am on my way to recovery but wish it would hurry up. As I can only stand long enough to take a shower, there is much I want to do but can't.
Last night, the band that my hubby works for played out. I had to stay home. Tomorrow, a local band that I really like, and don't get to see often is playing at the Field days. I probably won't be able to go. This past week has been the Boxing Hall of Fame Festivities. There is always a huge parade on Sunday with dozens of boxers and thousands lining the streets. I don't think I will be able to go unless we can get the van somewhere that I can sit in it and still see. Hmm.....somehow I don't think that will be possible.
Here's to hoping I feel much better by next weekend as I have a wedding to go to on Friday, my daughter's baby shower on Saturday and a birthday party on Sunday.

The Perfect Etsy Team
Isn't it the wish of every team captain to have THE best team? What would be the perfect team? Here are my thoughts: First, would be to have every member be active. Second, would be to have a thread for every topic. Third, would be to have strong leaders. I don't think the quantity of members matter so much as the quality of members. What is the sense in having hundreds or thousands of members if only 5 or 10 are active? What is the sense in joining a team if you are not going to use it to your advantage?
A perfect team would have something to offer everyone. Example, mentors, contests, sweepstakes, threads for every topic, promotions, just to name a few.
What are your thoughts on the perfect team?
