Decor8 BYW Class 2.0, and the Queen’s Jubilee Art

May 17, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 3 Comments

Yesterday I wrote about Blogging Your Way hosted by Holly Becker of Decor8 and I received a fair amount of email about the class, asking for more information.  I took the first class last year and to say that I loved it and learned a ton would be an understatement. I think if you are looking for an interesting, well organized class about blogging, growing your blog, finding inspiration, making money, or writing a book than this is the class for you. That being said, I do not know of any other classes taught by successful bloggers.

The class is at your own pace, everything is online and you sign in and there are lessons, and pod casts, and homework. As I said you get  an opportunity to get to know about 500 other bloggers, so not only do you get the expertise of Holly and her technical, wiz Thorsten, you also get the information and help from the guest instructors. The class is 4 weeks, and then all of the information and the forum are still up for another 4 weeks so there is time to download the information and the pod casts, as well as take it all in. There is a time commitment if you are taking the class, especially if you want to get help and have your questions answered in “real time”. If you want another opinion, Jeanne at Collage of Life also took the class, so you could ask her too.

Bulgari

OK, on to something lighthearted and entertaining. I am sure that you know that Queen Elizabeth is celebrating her Jubilee this year, 60 years as monarch and my goodness she deserves a celebration. She has seen it all, from wars, to family feuds, to deaths, and births, to fires and everything in between.

Chopard

To show it’s support Harrods, the fabulous department store in London unveiled it’s new “temporary”windows.

De beers

The store asked 31 of the worlds top brands to design a crown in honor of Queen Elizabeth.

Escada

These are just a few, what do you think?

Faberge

I like several of them and would be more than happy to wear one.

Ferragammo

In addition to Harrods there are Jubilee celebrations all over Britain, and memorabilia in the form of cookie tins, magazines and tea towels, to name just a few of the items you can get.

Will you be traveling to London for the Jubilee or the Olympics? I know some of you live there, do you have any plans to attend some of the events? Do tell us, we would love to hear about it!

I hope your week is going well, have a great day!

    Elizabeth,
    Yes, it's going to be a big year in the UK with the Jubilee and the Olympics. I will probably go for afternoon tea for Jubilee, but will watch the Olympics on tv. I think you get to see so much more, keep £300 ticket price in your pocket and not have to fight the crowds in London. That saving could hey me another 6 afternoon teas. Which would you choose, an afternoon in a crowded stadium or 6 high teas?
    Much love

    I'll be here for the Jubilee, but will probably watch everything from the TV, they are predicting crowds of over 2 million watching the barges on the Thames, jus too many people for me. My daughter's school are having a tea party, so I'm baking cupcakes (of course).
    A child I am preparing for First Holy Communion met the Queen and shook her hand during her visit to Richmond Park, he's thrilled!
    As for the Olympics I'll be in France, my younger son will be here and is dreading traveling to work in central London everyday!

    PS there are some great jubilee souvenirs around, I'm making a small collection of foodie treats.

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
