My Happy List and an Announcement

Today's Happy List is about all things bloggy.

I know, HAPPY!

First of all did you see my announcement about continuing the Bloggy Revolution?

Yep, we are continuing to spread the word in the hopes of taking down the "no-reply" blogger!

I am also collecting links to posts on the topic and drawing for another prize (HAPPY) at the end of the month...so let's spread the word people.

Blogging keeps getting better and better. HAPPY

If you want to join the revolution go to this post and jump on board! Your readers will thank you for this. I promise.

Now I am super HAPPY to introduce a new MONTHLY bloggy link party.

I recently posted a couple of videos of my nephew on my blog. You can view them HERE.

Anycuteness,

The videos got a lot of comments about my voice and how people imagined what I sounded like and that I sounded just like they thought I would.

I wasn't sure if those were complimentary or not, but those comments made me think...

I would love to hear your voices, see your facial expressions and hear your laughter. HAPPY!

I mentioned this to a few bloggy friends and Shawn said she was wanting to host a linky party and would love to do this with me.

Soooooo.....

It. Is. On.

Every month {exact day is still TBD} Shawn and I will host a linky party were you will be given the chance to not only post a vlog but visit other participating bloggers.

We are going to make this really easy for everyone too, yeah, we are cool like that.

Everyone will have a few questions to answer in their VLOG along with a monthly "Show and Tell" to either begin or end your post with.

We are asking our readers to submit questions that they would like to know about other bloggers and everyone will answer them via vlog and have a linky for everyone to join in on the vlogging fun!

AND if we use a question you submit we will both give you a little linky love on our blogs. HAPPY!

So here are the questions for this "The Monthly VLOG". The linky will be posted on BOTH Dandelion Wishes and Seriously Shawn on Tuesday March 1.

1. What is something that your readers might be surprised to know about you?
2. Share a hidden talent.

For the Show and Tell portion of your VLOG post share a piece of decor or furniture in your home. What does it say about your decorating style?

Start thinking about your answers and your show and tell item and be ready to come back March 1st to link up!

OH and don't forget to start sending in questions you would like to see highlighted on an upcoming post for "The Monthly VLOG" !

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

what a fun idea.
My video voice doesn't sound like me, though.
No. it doesn't. Don't say it does...cuz I sound way better than that.
Don't I?

I think a Keepin it Real vlog would be great. Give us a tour through the messy closet, of your frige (I'm all about knowing what's in someone else's pantry. What if I'm missing out on something really delicious?), Oooh...bonus points for the pre-make-upped vlogger that takes us through her morning facial routine. Favorite beauty product? tell me about it. Show and tell--favorite gifts, favorite thing that you "recycled" or rescued from being thrown away and have given new life to. (since I'm all about free stuff too).
Meet my pet week might be fun, but also has a risky potential to be kind of creepy (like that episode of the office where angela gives her cat a tongue bath on the nanny cam and coughs up a hairball later. hahahahha)

LURVE it and you and Shawn. CAN'T WAIT to see people and hear their voices! I finally got to hear Shawn's voice today (LOVE YOU iPHONE!) . She's such a Yankee with her accent! =) I'm sure she'll have something to say about mine too.

I lOve your happy list!! It will be supa fun to get to hear our online friends' voices and see their expressions. I'm sure it will increase our bonds we've made with people...solidify relationships...OR they'll break up with us. We'll see.

Shawn thinks Impulsive and I have Southern accents, which is hilarious. I often am delusional and in my delusions, I convince myself that I don't have an accent.

Can't wait!! I may have to fabricate a secret/hidden talent though. I don't really have one.

Myya said...

How Cool is this!!!

Shawn said...

Not only am I thrilled that you wanted to do this with me but that you had the skills to make such a perfect button!

Yay MAMA!

I can't wait to se how this all works out and to hear how many more of my friends have southern drawls!

Mireya said...

The monthly vlog sounds like fun!

becca said...

Greer's Gossip said...

I am so excited to be linking up with my happy list for the first time! I just discovered your blog and I am loving it. I am a new follower!! Love finding new bloggy friends!! :)

Clandestine Road said...

This is such a great idea! I love hidden talent posts and "what's in y our pantry" posts.

(When it I first read it, I thought it was "Peeping it real.") :) Having dyslexia makes things endlessly entertaining.

Jen said...

This sounds like a fun one for me to stalk... I'm afraid of videos so I'm always BEHIND the camera. ;)

Nic said...

I love the VLOG idea! I cant wait to see what comes of that!

I did my happy list today!

Beth said...

The Vlog thing sounds great! Unfortunately, I don't have hidden talents (ha! nothing in my life is hidden, or secret, and most of my talents aren't things I can perform, sadly). But this does give me incentive to figure out how to work my Mac's built-in webcam. :D

I'm excited to see everyone's submissions to this linky party!

Dawn said...

How exciting. I'm going to get started on my vlog! This will be fun.

Rachel Murphy said...

I love your happy list and I am also happy you taught me how to get comments and be able to respond to them. Each time I can respond I smile...

Aubrey S. said...

I don't have a video camera so I don't know if I'll participate, but I'm looking forward to seeing the vlogs.

Happy Weekend!

Garden of Egan said...

Fun idea! I came here cuz Emmy told me to. Glad I did.
I'm off to read about no reply stuff.

Love the Friday Confessionals! Totally makes me laugh.

Amy said...

This sounds fun! Can't wait to see how it goes :)

{leah} said...

Peek on over and see what we did together when you came to visit...

Not a whole lot of fun but you definitely were a big help!! thank you :)


You are on my happy list today

Tasia said...

I am so excited about this, it's seriously crazy!

I'm trying to think of questions now!

jenkakio.com said...

Ohh, this sounds like fun. I hate the sound of my own voice. I actually cringe when I hear it. But...should I vlog, I wanna be a part of the fun! Hummm, I gotta think about it.

Erinsgobragh said...

Freaking awesome!

simple girl said...

I'm actually not an Oprah hater, I didn't say I hated her I just don't care for her. I read a lot of blogs about people talking about her all the time and I was just saying that I don't feel the same.
But thank you for the sweet comment on the quote.

MiMi said...

I am in LOVE with the Vlog idea. :) YAY!!!

Emmy said...

What an awesome idea!! It is fun to hear what people sound like, it usually isn't how I pictured-or thought I guess of their voices in my head.

I will have to think of some questions

6 Happy Hearts said...

Vlog. Am I ready?! That is the question. You might just be the push I need. Sigh...
enjoying your happy list. loving all the positive energy!!

Brandy@YDK said...

hmm. i don't know if i can vlog. maybe after i lose 50-900 lbs.

Forgetfulone said...

I've been thinking about vlogging for a long time, and your new monthly featuer may be just the thing I needed to actually get started. Thanks!

Sami said...

I'm super excited about this idea! I know that you have been wondering for a long time what I sound like, so I will have to figure out my video camera and join in the fun!
YAY!
