Blog Links to Bee Members.

I was so excited to send out the email last night... So everyone can start planning their month, that I forgot that I wanted to add links for all of us that already have personal blogs.

I hope that everyone has received an invite to post here at Wonky Bee... You are welcome to share posts when ever you'd like..I am trying to make sure everyone in the Bee has access.  Remember though that this is a PUBLIC blog, so everyone can read your posts..

If you also have a personal blog that you post to regularly, I thought it would be neat to have a spot you can go to find those links well.  I have added buttons for those that I can find..If you have a button and I missed it...Please let me know.. Our button is available now for you to grab from the sidebar. 
HERE are the LINKS to some of our fellow Bee Members personal blogs.   Hover over their Blog Titles and a Link will be there, you'll just have to click to have another window pop open to their blog.

You can always reach me (Christine L) at Quilt Monster in my Closet
Leah is at  Burgundy Buttons
Cherry is at Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio
Hayley (aka Mrs Pickles ) is at Mrs Pickles Garden
Bea is over at BeaQuilter
Lisa's blog is at Quilting as a Second Language
Teressa's blog is at Pickett Line
Stephanie is at Stephanie's Stitches

What a great way for us all to get to know one another!  If you don't have a blog..no worries we will have lots of opportunities to share with one another ;)

 I don't know if I have everyone yet and I hope I haven't missed any, but if you have a personal blog and would like me to add a link here please send me an email and I'll add it if you can't.  I will add a Blog Roll call in the sidebar as well :)

I will also be sending shortly moderator invites for this blog so if any of you want to post here you can too...

THANK YOU LEAH for creating our BLOG BUTTON!   You can grab it from our sidebar and add it to your blog... I was finally able to get it up and running with Leah's HELP!

WONKY is the WORD!!

Our Wonky Bee is FULL!!!  You'll be getting details by this weekend if you have signed up.  We have 12 wonderful ladies participating in our First Ever WONKY BEE!

Yeah... I am so very excited.  We...(being my Sis in Law and myself)  are so excited to do this.  Sis in Law (Georgia) will be taking the first month she has most of her stuff finished and ready to mail, and I will be taking the LAST month.   We will draw names for the 2-11 months. :)  Randomly from a hat. :)  I think that's the best way to handle it :)    I will get back to each of you with details very soon, in the mean time.. IF you can please Please Email me your mailing addresses that would help me get started :)

Welcome to the Wonky Bee

It's A WONKY BEE!!! Whoo hoo.. let's all get our heads out of the norm and think Wonky!  I am excited to setup this blog for us to use as a playground to show off our Wonky side.  Blocks, words of wisdom, patterns..or questions... as we get them during the Wonky Bee we can post them here for everyone in the Bee to see...  You can choose to participate here or not..but I am hoping that you All dig in and give posting a try.  Just another way for us to step out of the norm and try a little WONKY! :~) 

If any of you are setup with a Flickr account, I have setup a Group also called Wonky Bee.  That way we can use that as another venue as well.   Flickr is an online photostream program that we can share with as well (for those of you who didn't know that :)

IF you don't have a GMAIL account setup yet..I recommend that you set one up...that way you don't have lots of emails going to a work address...Gmail accounts are FREE and it will make it ALOT easier for you to make comments and posts here.  This is a Free Blog Site, so others will be able to stop in and see all our posts and pictures.

I searched the web about Virtual Quilting Bees and found some information to help make it easier for all of us...Links are below... {Just Click on the Highlighted words, and you will be directed to the link}

We (myself or Georgia) will be getting ahold of you shortly with everyone's email address and mailing addresses and a schedule for everyone's month and times for sending out their blocks as soon as we get to 12 people.  I hope we get to 12 soon, so we can all get started. :)  
 
Remember you can always reach me over at my other Blog
