My Details: A Class, A Blog Hop, and a Giveaway!!

Hello, dear!  I bet you've hopped over from Whitney's blog, Modern Whit, and I'm glad you are here! Hasn't this hop already been so much fun?

Some of my most treasured friends have come from social media including this little blog, my Instagram account, and Twitter, and sometimes when I really just need to be quiet, I can still socialize just by typing and reading.  It gets even better when you participate by sharing projects, glean inspiration, and swap ideas over common interests, and two ladies that I've built friendships with have asked me to participate in their new class, My Details!

Sometimes we forget about ourselves when we post on Facebook, share a tweet, take a photo, or finish a journal page, right?  We can share about others all day long but when it comes to the little details about ourselves, they sit on the back burner until they are pretty darn crispy.  Kristin and Megan  have designed a class just for us...to share about ourselves...My Details.

When Megan and Kristin asked me to participate in the blog hop and told me the prompt was "Thinking," my first thought (no pun intended) was, Oh, no.  I think about the most random crap all the time and here's where it's going to be a big mess of words about whatever is in my head at any given time.
If you've been a reader here for a while, you know that's true.


I found my old Smash book that I have worked on just as randomly as I gather my thoughts, and decided that was a good place to start.  I found a pre-printed page about thinking, and figured I'd just start there...but, wait...I kept thumbing through the pages and found an old page from 30 Lists about fashion and realized I had never written one word there.  And I started thinking.

(here's the page that got the wheels turning...)

Clothes can either make or break your day, right?  And you might love one style and dress another.  And, dang if you don't find that gorgeous pair of heels (that you might wear a time or two for thirty minutes), on sale, and at the cash register, all wrapped up in a pretty bag and on their way home with you.

So, without further ado, here are my thoughts on my fashion (I know, I know...I thought I was going into super deep thought mode here, too, but, SQUIRREL!!!).

(..and who knew I could write so much about my clothes??)

Now, here's more fun!  These ladies have all come up with other projects for you to see and try, so if you've started here, continue on...
And, last but not least, leave a comment about what you are thinking of now (haha, did I just ask that?), and you will be entered in a drawing to win FREE registration to the class!  Oh, my goodness, what fun we are about to have! 

Hurry...drawing will be held on Friday, April 11th. If you can't wait, click the link (I'm an affiliate) in the sidebar and get $2 off your registration with the code, BIRDIESDETAILS. 

Can't wait to hear your details! See you in class!

    1. LOL! I know...sometimes that's all I want to do, too. But I have to dress like a teacher...so khakis and Converse work. Haha!

    2. I always dressed like Miss Frizzle when I was a substitute teacher (elementary school.) It was soooo fun; made us all laugh.

  4. You must go see Love, Loss and What I Wore; a staged reading based on the writing of Nora Ephron and her daughter. OMG, hilarious and makes us THINK about all of those amazing clothing items we've loved over the years.

  5. And this is what makes us unique! Imagine what your daughter or granddaughter will think when she looks back at what YOU liked to wear? Great idea!

  8. I'm thinking about how it has been years since I have worn a pair of high heels. Oh how they hurt and with my flat feet they most likely were not good for me. A strange thought, indeed.
