Prompt three of Blogging for Scrapbookers encourages the use of lists. They are scattered everywhere in blogland and about all sorts of things. Me - I love a blog list and find them all quite fascinating. I love that they can take you on journey and you never know where you will end up. They can inspire, make you reflect, make you laugh - the possibilities are endless. So what about my list? Well after much deliberation of options, I've kept it very simple and stuck to five things I'm loving at the moment;
1. Blogging - yes I know I'm only on post 2 but I'm already wondering why I didn't do it earlier! I have even been brave enough to post a link on the "Blogging for Scrapbookers" forum and was thrilled to find I've had some visitors, who kindly left me a comments. Thank you for making me feel welcome in blogland.
2. It naturally follows that I am also loving "Blogging for Scrapbookers" the online class being run by Shimelle. It's proving a great source of inspiration and also helping me make sense of where I want to go to on my blogging journey.
3. Google Reader - it is making my life so much simpler. I can't believe I have not investigated this before. During the course of a day, I can switch between my pc, laptop and netbook but don't have all my favourites saved on each one. Now all my favourite blogs are available to me where ever I am.
4. Singing - in January this year I, along with my friend Debbie, joined a choir. I love singing, and sang in a choir at school but nothing since.. I enjoying it even more than I thought - for a whole hour on a Friday I can forget everything and immerse myself in the music.
5. Spring - yes it finally has sprung. We've had lovely weather all week and a little sunshine on your back feels so good. I suffer a little in the short winter days so am glad that the days are getting longer. I feel a surge of energy and hope I can just channel it towards some lovely craftiness in the next few weeks.
What are you loving at the moment?

Apart from singing....which I don't do at all...and if you heard me sing....you'd be pleased about that....I'm loving the same things as you....particularly the final arrival of Spring!
Yep, I have to jump on that Spring bandwagon too. Although lately it feels decidedly winter like outside. The daffodils are shivering.
What a nice list of favorites! I'm right with you on all of them except the singing. Well, actually I love to sing, I just think others might view it more as noise. LOL Welcome to blogland.
Have just jumped over from Shimelle's class and am delighted to find another 'novice'...it's all new to me too. I'll be following your blog to see how you're getting along

I love your spring flowers. It is autumn here and has been so hot I am glad summer is nearly over to be honest.
Super 2nd post - you are already a pro!
I too am very taken with Google Reader - super easy to find where to come back to with it ;o)
The weather has been great hasn't it?! Long may it continue. Happy adventures in blogland!
Popped over frm class - welcome to blogland! Great second post - J x
Just popped over from BFS, love the spring shots and its great that your enjoying thing blogging malarkey :-)
Hi!! I'm a fellow classmate in Shimelle's Blogging for Scrapbookers class. Looking forward to your posts!
Congrats on starting your new blog. I hope you enjoy it as well as the BFS class. I've been using a Google Reader for quite awhile and, as a result, probably spend WAY too much time keeping up with other people's blogs...but it is a great way to get info. For example, I would never have known about Shimelle's class except by seeing it mentioned in someone's blog. Plus I've already learned some new things in the class...I esp. like that Shimelle bundled a couple of groups of participant blog addresses for easy downloading to Google Reader. Very cool, and so much faster than the one-by-one method I was using!
I'm with you on all but Google reader! I have been using it for a few months now but I just can't stand the list reminding me of all the blogs I haven't visited! :)
