Spotlight Saturday 2.21 to 2.26.10

Spotlight Saturday

Here are FIVE of my favorite posts from the past week. Each week I will be highlighting some of my favorites. I have many blogs in my reader, as I have many friends with all different types of “niches” or “non-niches”. I will post serious stories, fun stories, pictures, recipes, etc. They will most likely be in a random order.

1. This Mama Makes Stuff-The Slim Slack

Carrie re-fashions a pair of men’s slacks into boy’s slim slacks.

2.  Livin’ The Simple Life-Folding Shelf Drying Racks

We’ve been looking for a way to get rid of our rolling rack in our garage. This is simple project which will eliminate the bulk of a bigger drying rack.  It’s also very inexpensive.

3.  Well, That’s Just Fabulous-Starting Over, This is going to be a long one

Danielle talks about picking up and moving to Chicago from Los Angeles all by herself. She has had some bumps along the way, but she’s planting down her feet.

4.  The Unexperienced Mom-Finding a Blogging Mentor

I met Tamara at Blissdom. She’s a realist like me.  She talks about finding someone to connect with during/through your blogging journey.  She is also launching a new website for blog conference newbies.

5.  Living with Lindsay-Real People Don’t Live in Magazine Spreads

Lindsay, a real life friend of mine, talks about getting ideas from design magazines and websites. But no matter what, your home is fine just the way that it is, and you never see people living in those magazines.

2.  Hostess with the Mostess-Fairy Sweet Birthday Party

What little girl wouldn’t want a fairy party? This party was all planned by the little girl’s mother.  With decorations, a toadstool cake, fairy wings, and pixie sticks. The photography makes everything pop and so memorable.

3.  Ciaran Blumenfeld-Advocates, Enthusiasts, and Advertising: Bloggers on the Brandwagon

Ciaran talks about bloggers and promoting brands. Did you do a post because you just *liked” the product, was a it a review, or were you paid to post. She outlines the distinctions.

4.  Scary Mommy-ChatRolulette-A Warning to Parents

Jill from Scary Mommy talks about a new website started by a 17-year old in Russia. This site accesses your webcam and projects you face-to-face with the world.  What a perfect place for a pedophile to hide out in.
