supahstar saturday 2/10/07

rettaWelcome to our first Supahstar Saturday! Obviously these first five featured bloggers will be selected at random, since I don’t have a pool of past participants to draw from yet. So who better to pick than Loretta? She was kind enough to make these sweet images for me in her spare time, as well as a special image for the featured blogger to display.

Loretta Oliver is a married mom of 4 kids - all boys. She keeps the estrogen flowing in her house with cross stitching, quilting, sewing and other crafty and creative hobbies. She’s interested in photography and graphic editing but claims she is “not very good at it yet”. (I beg to differ, after seeing the images she made for Supahstar Saturday)

Why do you blog? Because otherwise I’d walk around the house talking to myself all day and it tends to make people think I’m a little wacko when I do that.

What do you like best about blogging? People. Blogging is at least 75% of my social life (I told you I was boring!) Between reading blogs and people visiting your own blog you “meet” a lot of great people! And then of course there’s the whole getting paid to blog, that’s always a nice bonus.

Loretta can be found blogging at Thoughts Out Of My Head.

When you blog about Loretta this week, please remember to come back to THIS entry and leave a note in the comments so we can enjoy your work too! Please consider using one of the following images in your entry as well, with a link back here. (Right click and save to your own server please!) You have until next Saturday to submit your entry about Loretta. For more info and guidelines, please read my post explaining how Supahstar Saturday works.

    I know, you said we had all week, but, then when I sat down to do it today, it seemed weird to be doing ‘Supahstar Saturday’ on Sunday.

    LOL!

    I finally put mine up here

  34. […] I asked Loretta if she noticed a spike in her blog traffic after being featured last weekend, and she did! Before being featured, her Technorati ranking was 38,965. Now it’s moved up, to 36,319! Loretta also said that she received daily traffic from this site, as well as the others that participated, so it wasn’t just a one day boost. Last, but not least, she said ” It was a fun week to read about myself all over the internet, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy!” […]
