Today I am talking Challenges.
Challenge 1: Case Study featuring Angeline Yong:
It is another Angeline beauty to case at
Case Study Challenge and I am excited to show you my card.
The original is a show stopper, and you must check out the blog, because Angeline cased herself and I think I love the new card even better than the original!
Challenge 2: Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge
The other challenge I am entering my card into is
Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge. It's a color challenge this time.
Challenge 3: When you get dumped by a follower
There are a lot of ups and downs in blogging. I just was dealt a new situation and I thought it was a perfect time to discuss Chapter 10 of the blogging handbook...when a follower unfollows you! This just happened to me and well I am kind of really sad and confused. I went into analysis mode and tried to think of all the reasons why a person would unfollow someone.
1. They came in for a prize and when the prize was over, so was their blog following
2. The blogger posts a lot. I don't know why that is such a bad thing. I don't follow a ton of blogs but even if I did, going through the blog reader doesn't take that much time
3. You work got poorer.
4.......
that's all I could think of. I don't get it at all. Help this rookie understand.
I kinda measured my self worth on the followers. It's sad but true. How else are you supposed to measure your blog value? Comments? Challenge wins? Design teams? Whether your husband likes it? Beats me. I just know that it made me over the moon happy to see a new follower and I have appreciated every single one. Every comment. Every friendship. I am thankful for you all who come by and check my little place out. So this felt like it was a relationship and I just got dumped via text. One part of me is saying "You are unfollowing me? ME?" and then the other part of me is saying, "Come back! I'll do better. Give me another chance!" It's such a mixed bag of emotions.
I'm just hurt.
I know I know, I got too attached. Rookie Mistake.
