Many of you have asked where in the world I've been.

All I know is that after 7 plus years of blogging and a different lappy, which I don’t like, I seem to have lost my blogging fervor.

Someday, when you least expect it, I will post again.

For those of you still waiting I say thank you.

Meanwhile, I am rather prolific on twitter. Find me: @KeethaB

Bloggerette Sorority Rush

.

Today is "rush" day for the Bloggerette Sorority. Our rush assignment, given to us by Karen at Some Days are Diamonds, was to do something creative with the sorority photo and post it.

Well now girls - - - -

I realize most of you have NEVER heard of little ole me before, so you do not KNOW that I don't "do" crafty, decorative, gardening, baking, cooking, or tablescaping type things.

I "trade" in irreverent humor.

Why, it is the GOAL of my blog to make you spit and snort.

So obviously, no frilly, lacy, girlie project was going to originate with me. I have to be creative in a different way.

So, without further ado, here is my creative "rush" project, in two parts.

First my "virtual" frame on the photo. Hey - - - I made it curvy, that's as close to frilly as it's gonna get around here.

But I didn't stop there! No indeedy - - - check this out:


Here you have our very own LIVE rendition of the bloggerette sisters.

It works - - - first on the left is my flesh and blood "blog lurker" sister, Pam. I am in the middle, and one of our very own Bloggerette Sisters, Cindy of Applestone Cottage is on the right.

I won't EVEN tell you how hard we worked trying to get this picture!

Ann in the UP said...

Spit and snort, huh? I knew you were my equal in classy responses!

Thanks for sharing the fun you and Pam had with Cindy. It looks like a jolly good time was had by all.

Keri said...

I beg to differ...you most certainly DO cook and do it well.

Erin said...

Keetha - I look forward to every post. You crack me up. And the recreation of the picture is better I think than the craftiest uses for it.

Did you visit Cindy at the cottage where her husband has wrought so many marvels? He is THE most talented guy. Oh, and so is Cindy -- who by the way was the first one to "teach" me about linky parties. So SHE is to blame! LOL....you all look lovely, and Bloggerific!
Love, Cass

Theresa said...

Well, it is soooo nice to meet 'cha my dear Sista! Your creation is perfect and I LOVE the picture of you, your "blog lurking Sister" and Cindy!

Ha...I love this photo of your own bloggerette sisters! I thought it was hard enough just taking a picture of myself. And I adore your comment in your profile that you're known to stir things up! I've taken that up as my life's work now that I'm almost retired. LOL

Thank you so much for stopping by my site. It's very nice to meet another sister...

THANK YOU so much for visiting my blog.

I also wanted to tell you that I have a brand-new blog (not even 24 hours old) that is for inspiration...It's called I Owe it All to Him. There's a link from my blog...It's for anyone who just wants to read inspirational stories or who needs prayers...
so, just thought I'd tell you you're so welcome
to come see it!
Also, I will enter you into the drawing to win the clips and tin.
