Craft Blog Club - June Challenge #YouCompleteMe

These lighter evenings are great don't you think?  The Other Half is spending more time in the garage 'tinkering' which means I have access to pc in the evenings. This week I got to join in my fave twitter chat #craftblogclub for half an hour before Roo's bedtime and it was great to catch up with some of the regulars and meet some new tweeps too!

Emma announced the June challenge - You Complete Me - last week (read all about it here) and, not being one to shy away from a challenge, took the opportunity to trawl through the huge plastic storage box full of bits and pieces, half finished projects and long abandoned craft obsessions to see if I could rekindle the love for something long forgotten...

And I found this...

30 posts in 30 days...

It's the end of May already. I could have sworn Christmas was only a couple of months ago so how is it that we are only three weeks from the summer solstice?

If you remember I made no specific New Year's Resolutions although I did have a plan.

Of sorts.

I have even managed to put some of it into action! I am certainly taking a more positive spin on life these days - not sweating the small stuff gets easier the more you practise it. I am also becoming more organised and making better use of my time. All of the OH's shop paperwork has been sorted and is ready to go to the accountant - last year it took me until the July 31st deadline to get that box to his office!

This blog has mutated somewhat over that past 6 months - I am really pleased with the responses I have had to the recipes posted as part of the Veg Box Challenge posts and the tutorials I have put together for Abakhan's Creative Budget. I am also loving working with Jane Means Ribbons using their gorgeous products for crafty projects.

Things are pottering along quite nicely but I think maybe it's time to give myself a little push...

So here's the challenge - for the month of June I will make the effort to post one blog everyday - that's 30 posts in 30 days.  I may cheat a little and post twice in one day or else use the 'schedule posts' option so that I can keep up without breaking my self-imposed 'no computer on a Sunday' rule. 
I have a schedule of sorts - a few more Creative Budget tutorials plus some other crafty stuff to share including some new items I am making for my Folksy shop; some scrummy recipes along with the usual bi-weekly veg box challenge posts; a couple of reviews including some gorgeous books Roo was sent and a fab crafty club run by one of my favourite suppliers. I may also include a giveaway or two...

I also have another challenge to tell you about - slightly more personal and it's something I have blogged about before but the time has come to take the bull by the horns and... well I'll leave that for my first post in June.
