Good Morning Everybody

I have slept a total of maybe two hours, and I am awake before the sunshine. Oh sleep why aren't thou avoiding me!! lol

So since I am wide awake I decided to get online and it dawned on me, I hadn't taken down my blog's Christmas background or decorations..Oops!  Heading on over to my favorite background and graphics website (www.thecutestblogontheblock.com) I chose to use the Valentines "Hot Lips" theme background you see now! Isn't it cute!  I keep claiming that Valentines is my second least favorite holiday, but I am beginning to wonder if I am just trying to convince myself..

As I sit and type this post I see the sunshine slowly waking up..Good morning Sunshine! 

Not only am I wide awake, and sleepy I have this cute cartoon song playing over and over in my mind..





Isn't it cute?  


Happy Sunday Everyone!

   "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
      ~1 Thessalonians 5:18

"Therefore all things whatsoever you would that man should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." ~Matthew 7:12

100 Random Questions About Me

Questions:

1:Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed? Closed. I don't like my closets door to be open unless I am getting dressed, or trying to find something in one of my closets.


2:Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?  Sometimes, if they are good.






3:Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out? This is a tricky question to answer. Rarely do I sleep covered up with my sheets, if I do they are untucked because I like tucking them under my feet. Usually I pull the colors down and curl up with my favorite fleece throw and my crochet afghan that my Mama made me. It's comfy!


4:Have you ever stolen a street sign before?  Nope, but I have taken pictures of street signs.

5:Do you like to use post-it notes?  I do like them! I can use ALOT when I have them.

6:Do you cut out coupons but then never use them? I have in the past. I admire people who can save a lot of money using coupons (except the troublesome coupon people.) However I have not developed the patience to figure out how, and the times my Mama has handed me a coupon, or I have cut them out I forget all about them. Except for Hobby Lobby. I have the Hobby Lobby app downloaded on my iPhone so its handy to use when I am in the store, all I have to do is pull up the app and show the cashier!

7:Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?  Neither please!

8:Do you have freckles? I have a freckle on my right shoulder.

When someone leaves an empty toilet paper roll on the holder and sits a fresh one on the back of the toilet.  2.  Having to repeat myself over and over. (I need to work on that)  3. Hearing people use God's name in vain. Seriously He gave you the breath you are using to cuss His name. Have some respect He created you.  3. When people are disrespectful.  4. When you text someone and they reply with "K."  I'm not sure why that annoys me but it does. Just to name a few. I cannot think of anymore at the moment.

11:Do you ever count your steps when you walk? Sometimes if I am in a curious mood.

Late Night Blog Post

     (As posted on facebook www.facebook.com/MardiRobynDesigns)

     My late night is turning into early morning. Insomnia is not a picnic! Since I can't sleep, I have been reading blogs, and researching ways to advertise, promote/market etc.. I have a lot of free time while I recover from the wreck at the end of May, so why not see what positive change I can make with my blogs.

Last night while googling "southern fashion bloggers" I came across a blog "J's Everyday Fashion." In this article http://www.jseverydayfashion.com/2012/01/why-i-blog-on-facebook.html the designer claims that by using her facebook fan page for blogging she increased her fans by 10,000 in just one year! ONE year!! That's pretty amazing!

   Her theory is there are a lot of people who use facebook because it is so popular, and blogs can seem foreign to those who aren't apart of the blogosphere world. If you have time, read the article! I found it interesting, and I am going to test her theory and see what happens. Some days I will blog soley on here, other days I will post a blog post on my blog www.MardiRobyn.blogspot.com you may read the same posts on here and there, or you may see fresh content here and new content on my blog. Just depends on the day and my mood. Other days you'll see a repeat of blog posts. Either way it should be fun.

One thing I keep reading is the importance of making a blogging plan, a list of ideas, goals, blog topics, etc.. I use to roll my eyes and inwardly groan "here we go again" everytime I would read a tutorial on blogging that stressed the importance of lists. I would think to myself I don't need them. However the more I read and study the art of blogging, I find myself jotting down ideas. I now have several pages of ideas and I must confess, I am beginning to see the importance!
It is good to have direction in life, we need direction... Even when owning a blog!

Rest well!
~Mardi Robyn



Keep Calm and Trust God


"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He (God) will direct your paths."
