Some details & Updates

I've added a few little items to make it more friendly looking here. I've also added a couple notes on the right side to keep us up to date. I hope to have a few challenge set up in the very near future for us to all participate in. Some photo challenges, maybe a written challenge, a physical challenge, perhaps cooking challenges. Just some options, perhaps enough that people will find something that strikes their fancy. I've already got a couple July photo challenges to go through & see what would work best. I am also looking throwing together a cooking challenge & perhaps a home challenge. Might even put together a challenge on spending money, well not exactly spending as much as creatively using as lil as possible?! lol 

I've eliminated the calendar { as that took a lot of time for me to throw together } and opt'd for an "important dates" section, that's what we would find useful anyway right? Perhaps the greeting card challenge will be part of the Friend Challenge? Anyone have any ideas? I've got some other ideas to share with you, perhaps another time.

New Feature!

New Blog List!

I went through my other blogs, to find the way I used to have the blog list set up { and I found it!!! }.. rather than me manually putting them in and just having a link, it has actual feedback from that blog. So now you'll see on the right sidebar the new updated links in "Our Blog Happenings" to the latest post on each of your blogs! If any of you have created or decided to take your blog public, and would like to have yours featured on CL, please send me the link and I'll be glad to update it onto our page!

Enjoy!

New Sister Blog!

So, I just wanted to make note that our very on Miss Val has indeed started herself her own blog! Check it out! Show her some support! :D

Mama Duck Quacks

I've added a link { down at the bottom of this page.. } to our members blogs, so if you want to see anyone else' blog, please check them out!

Later tonight, I will be adding more content here, more updates & challenges. Plus a new proposal for a special little something!

Challenge!

But before I go I am challenging all of you to do MY daily challenge today.. Here we go:

.•**•.¸( ¯`•.¸* -~… Challenge …~- *¸.•´¯ )¸.•**•.

::: How to do it ::: Spend a minute making an uncensored list of everything you want in your life for the next year. On the list, include your desires for your health, money, friendships, romantic relationships, career, and hobbies. Circle the top two things you'd like to achieve. Are there steps you can take to make them a reality?

::: Why it matters ::: Thinking about how you'd like your year to go helps you clarify your goals, and making a list makes them that much more real. Once you've picked the two that are most meaningful to you, you can begin to identify the concrete, measurable actions you need to take. After all, every big success comes only after many mini ones.

::: Fun Fact ::: The original 1977 "Book of Lists," a compendium of hundreds of lists on unusual topics, was banned in parts of the United States due to its racy content.

.•**•.¸( ¯`•.¸* -~… The End …~- *¸.•´¯ )¸.•**•.

Share with all of us what your goals are for the next year! I will follow suit as well!

Growing our site..

Not exactly growing, but I figured, via Blogger, we can have only 10 independent pages. Since we are already pretty close to that, I am going to hijack another of my old blogs that I never REALLY spent a lot of time working on. But it's a shame since it fits right in with what we are doing here on CL. The site I am going to "join" us up with is called XoXo Cupcakes.. surprisingly has quite little to do with cupcakes. It was more along the times of Beauty, Organization, DIY projects. At least that was the intent of it. So, since we do much of that here at CL, I figured we'd have a softer side too. Give us a 2nd place to post whatever we find suits our needs.

I'm not trying to make it more complicated, I just want to make it easier for us to locate what we are looking for. So.. I'll have a direct link over to XoXo and I'll have one there to link right back here, you'll never have to worry about getting back to either site, it will all just link up. Let me know what you think.

Also, feel free to join there & if you want to be able to post to that blog, just let me know I'll go ahead and add you as an author.

:D

Member Blogs!

As an added bonus, I am linking up to some of our members blogs.. So far I've got a blog from Lisa & from Kelly, in a few minutes I'll be updating the site to reflect those links on the left. Keep an eye out for the new blog links!

Thanks ladies for sharing! <3
