When I work at home it's easy to become a hermit so any interaction with people who do the same thing is good. And, OH! - the eye candy on the reveal dates cannot be beat.<br /><br />Now, that being said DEADLINES are so very important & the really creep up on you. You absolutely MUST make smaller deadlines to get you to that bigger deadline or your finished product will be, well let's just say my last one didn't go as well as I would like for it to have.<br /><br />TheresaBead-Musedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921670436870164582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-81485426224379345342013-10-06T10:32:25.960-04:002013-10-06T10:32:25.960-04:00I'm not sure how to answer this one. I can say...I'm not sure how to answer this one. I can say that it's not usually the 'prizes' that get me interested in a hop. The theme is often important as there are some themes that I know I can't work with and end up scaring me away. I love the community of a blog hop. But one of my favorite things is the general challenge of the thing. I like giving my creative juices a workout and seeing what I can come up with when I'm working with something I may not have picked for myself. It's a bit self-indulgent, but that's my greatest motivator.CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-11617832233578845492013-10-06T10:16:09.131-04:002013-10-06T10:16:09.131-04:00I enter challenges and blog hops because I like th...I enter challenges and blog hops because I like the theme, either because it's so "me" and instantly makes my brain buzz with ideas or because I find it a good, exciting challenge. Like when I signed up for Erin's challenge of colour and picked bright yellow because it's a tricky colour for me or when I signed up for Sarah's Sequintastic September because it inspired me to use my almost forgotten sequin stash. I tend to come back to those annual challenges because I find they have a good balance of pure creative joy (as I like the theme) and being challenging, pushing me to try something new. It's fun when a challenge pushes or inspires you to do something you wouldn't have thought of otherwise!<br /><br />With Erin's latest challenge of travel, I was really inspired to share all sorts of things about my home region and the idea of reading about new places enticed me as a human geographer. With themes like that it's hard not to sign up, even if I managed to sign up to three challenges/hops with reveals within one month.<br /><br />Prizes are always interesting, especially if it's something like the gorgeous art beads here on ABS, but not the most important part. In the end, it's the theme and reveal/deadline date that make or break it. Especially the dates as time seems to fly and other things get in between. Ages ago I did all sorts of challenges, big and small, and entered contests but these last few years other things have demanded my attention and time.<br /><br />With blog hops I prefer ones that aren't too big, e.g. I love Bead Soup Blog Party but hesitate to sign up because the size of the blog hop overwhelms me and I feel bad if I don't visit everyone...Manekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362626785474144154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-63178662188932404182013-10-06T04:30:59.450-04:002013-10-06T04:30:59.450-04:00I recently joined my very first blog hop. I'm ...I recently joined my very first blog hop. I'm so nervous but excited at the same time. I joined this challenge for a number of reasons. First off - For the experience. I want to begin selling my jewelry online. I think the blog hop will help me feel more secure in putting my designs out there. Another reason I joined is I am an avid reader of jewelry blogs. I have learned so much from each and every designer, so I am hopping these very designers will help me with some constructive criticism or encouraging props. <br /><br />Pretty please count me in for this amazing giveaway!

I've got a few regular favourites -- Miss Erin's challenges are fabulous, Lisa Lodge's blog hop kits always challenge me to use components I wouldn't necessarily pick, and I've really enjoyed delving into jewellery history for Leah Curtis's History Hops. I'm trying to do as many of the Art Bead Scene challenges as I can, and of course Lori's BSBP is one of the year's highlights. Right now I'm looking forward to the Holiday blog hop season getting started!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
