Things I do instead of blogging

1. Read other people's blogs
2. Facebook
3. Look through quilting books and make plans and lists of quilts I'd like to make
4. Flickr - look at my friends' latest uploads
5. Flickr - find new groups/swaps to join and sign up
6. Promptly forget about signing up until I get a "FR" email (friendly reminder)
7. Cocktails on the deck with my 2 gal pals - should be #1
8. Shop online for fabric - receive pkgs - hide from hubby - deny knowledge about CC charges
9. Quilt
10. Take pics of quilting and fabric packages for blog
11. Think about blogging

Man this takes some commitment! I'm grateful to those who blog regularly and keep me distracted, entertained and inspired. Since it ain't Jan 1, I don't have to resolve to blog more regularly yet - score!

How do you stay active on your blog?

I am putting on borders on a quilt for an auction at church. I have to get to JoAnn fabrics tomorrow to see if I can get something for the outer 6 inch border...I just don't have enough fabric...ugh! (I'm whining inside my brain!) Thanks for the giveaway! I enjoyed your blog

I am a follower. Thanks for the give away. I love blog hops. I get to find all kinds of new blogs to follow.

I've just returned from the USOpen and I actually got to sit about 6 feet from Venus & Serena! I'll be celebrating that all weekend! Next week I'll be sharing about

MOCHAWILDCHILD'S 2012 QUILT SHOP HOP ACROSS AMERICA

featuring the awesome quilt shops I visited this summer during our travels

Cheers!
