Your Take on List #9

Here are some of your favorite sites!








I made it through 180 of your Flickr uploads this morning, I am loving all the comments left by others and hope you check back on your photos for those little love notes! 

Also, please remember to post the 30 Days of Lists button on your blog, after this challenge is over, it will be a great ice-breaker for all of us if we know where we've 'met' before :)

Lastly, I love reading the tweets you are posting on Twitter! Be sure to use the hashtag #30Lists so we can see it show up in our search bars! You may get a response you weren't expecting/some loving RTs!

Love, Kam

List 9: Favorite Websites/Blogs

Today's list focuses on where we spend a fair amount of our time while on the internet! I think many (if not all!) of us can think of a handful of fun blogs/websites/social media sites we enjoy ;)

List 9: Favorite Websites/Blogs


Here's my list for the day :) The paper is itty bitty--about the size of my hand--so I had to make this list count! I mentioned in a few comments left on the Flickr group that my writing is ginormous, so squeezing these words onto this sheet of paper was a challenge in-and-of-itself. I also wanted to photograph my list this way so you can see the backsides of my previous lists :D I love little surprises like that.

For those not familiar with Reserve America, it is an amazing website I use to make reservations for my camping trips, and it gives you a good idea of what to expect at each campground. I love using it! Also, Yelp! is a user-based review website for stores/restaurants/places of business. Like Foursquare, this site lets you check-in, earn badges, and become the duke/duchess of places you frequent. love, love, love.

What are your favorite websites/blogs?

Speaking of websites/blogs, you can read about Amy, Justine, and me and our lives outside 30 Days of Lists on each of our blogs, respectively. Also, be sure to leave a link to your website/blog in the thread labeled Introductions on the Flickr group, so others can find you :)

pdf download clarification

For those of you who have purchased and downloaded the pdf templates for 30 Days of Lists....

I've discovered that this might not be clear in the download instructions.

The FULL PAGE templates are in the order the prompts will be posted on the blog.

The HALF and QUARTER page templates are in order to print back-to-front and make a little book if you so desire.

Try watching one or the other of the tutorial videos for visual clarification.

And, as always, email me with further questions!

Thanks!

List 8: In My Bag featuring Moorea Seal

Good morning! We are so excited to introduce one of our gifted sponsors to guest post today!

For today's list, take a look at what you carry around every day - What is in your bag?

If you don't have a purse, maybe your backpack or camera bag or computer bag? If no bag, what do you keep in your pockets? What else do you need to have with you at a moment's notice?

Today Moorea Seal is going to show us what is in HER bag!




Hi there everyone! I'm Moorea from moorea-seal.com. Today I'm going to give you a little tour of "What's in my bag Backpack!" As much as I love purses, I have a lot of heavy things that I carry around everyday and I prefer the balance and support that my body gets from using a backpack rather than a purse. Plus, I'm 24 and I figure I can still get away with toting around a backpack for a few more years :)







These are all of the essentials for my backpack. Since I work from home at least 12 hours a day, I can go a little stir crazy being held up inside of my tiny apartment. So my backpack and I usually visit a coffeeshop once every 1-2 days just to keep the work day spicy and fresh. It's helpful that my boyfriend is a barista too. :)





So here's my list of everything in my backpack:

1. Pens, Pencils, and Erasers. I'm a professional Illustrator and obsessive list maker so my bag of goodies is a necessity!

2. Cell Phone. I have a Droid. It works well but I still dream about having an iphone instead :)

3. Wallet. I don't really like the color red, but I figured, hey, if I get a red wallet, I'll never lose it because it's the only red thing I'll own and it's bright color will make it easy to find. (I'm really forgetful.)

4. My little notebook. This is where I keep ideas for blog designs (I'm a blog designer for Freckled Nest). I'm usually toting around this notebook or one of two others that help keep my mind sane juggling lots of jobs.

5. Chapsticks. Despite the constant rain in Seattle, the air sucks all the moisture out of ya. Chapstick options are a must.

6. Daily Planner. I love this planner by Moleskin. My everyday lists are usually huge and this manages to hold big lists in a perfectly sized small planner. It's also red so I can find it when I lose it, heehee.

7. Keys. My boyfriend got me a pretty little wooden key chain that has a secret storage compartment. I love it, but have yet to figure out what secret small things to stash inside.

8. Dried Cranberries. I'm always craving sweets. These help with my sweets lust.

9. Tiger's Milk Protein Bar. Once again, always craving chocolate, so at least with this I get a little protein too. :)

10. Little Earphones. These are a must for coffeeshop hopping. Some coffeeshops play the loudest, worst music ever.

11. Drawing Pad. I'm an illustrator! I draw most everything by hand.

12. Macbook. Ah, one day I'll have enough money for a Macbook Pro upgrade. One day...

13. Custom Laptop Case. Isn't it so pretty! I took that photo myself of a friend, and a laptop case company had it printed on the case. I can't remember the company's name though... shoot.


So there you have it! That's everything I need day to day in my backpack. What are some essential staples in your purse of backpack? I'd love to see some photos!

List 7: Blog Goals

Well, this is a good topic, because, I think its safe to say we all love blogs. And, theres a big chance a lot of us have blogs, which then means we most likely have a lot of blog goals! Yay!
