I'm always thinking about ways that we can connect, stay in touch, and learn more about each other without having to commit to phone time. There are many of you out there who I long to learn more about, I'm just not a big phone talker. I feel awkward and anxious which leads to the nervous babbling and interrupting. Two things I'm REALLY working on getting rid of in my life. SO ... I came up with this idea to do What are U up to today? Wednesdays starting today.
The idea is to take a picture of your lap, your sewing table, your workbench, your journal, your placemat, your coffee table, your kitchen counter, whatever ... somewhere where you are working on something today. Here's mine:
and then either post a quote or a very short & sweet explanation of what you have going on in the photo.
I'm getting ready to film the last part of my journaling video to post over on 365 days of 40 later today :)
Now it's your turn. All you have to do is grab the badge from above, and put it on your blog to show you're participating. Then every Wednesday {or however often you like} post your What are U up to today? photo for us all to peek at. Easy peasy as a wonderful friend likes to say :) Leave your main blog link here in the comments section, and I will add it to the main blogroll page here:
http://identityseven.typepad.com/themessynest/what-are-u-up-to-today.html
All we have to do to keep up with each other is go on a little blog trip Wednesdays, and my hope is it will generate some traffic to our blogs as a bonus. I would REALLY love for you all to play along!
WHAT ARE U UP TO TODAY?
Sounds great - should be inspiring to see what everyone else is up to too I hope! I'll be starting tomorrow!

HI - I'm eight days late but I'd love to play along - great idea. I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up so I'm sticking with mixed media. I blog about treasures I find, processes I discover and use, etc.. I'll make sure I blog every Wednesday. Please visit when you have a minute...
