B = Blogging



I struggled with the letter ‘B’ as I have too many ideas running around in my head (birds, books, beaches) maybe I should have decided on a theme...too late now. Anyway, after much deliberation, I am going with B= BLOGGING, seeing as this is what we are all doing on the A-Z challenge!



The A-Z challenge is the first time I have taken blogging seriously and updated the site on a daily basis. I originally started my blog ‘Designs by Row’ in 2009 to showcase my design work and love for all things creative. I also thought this might help me to get a job in design too. It hasn’t, I am still looking...I’m hoping that the A-Z challenge will change the way I blog and challenge me. I am so glad I found the site, its a genius idea!

I love how many comments I have had after just one day of blogging on the A-Z challenge, I’m really pleased that people found what I had written interesting and gave me some encouraging words. This has led me to check out and follow about 20 blogs too and I’m going to make sure I comment on other peoples blogs from now on!

I found this illustration earlier and think it is gorgeous! This is the type of illustration work I would like to do, I might get my crayons and inks out later today to see what I can come up with. Hope you like it too...x

    You have a wonderful talent! I always say that lots of people can sing quite well. But not everybody can draw/sketch...
    Happy A to Z'ing.......

    LOVE the Queen Bee! I also love the color combo with just the hint of that dark greenish brown to ground it all. Your A-Z is very interesting so far. Keep it up! :)

    I appreciate what I'm not good at. For example drawing/painting and playing a musical instrument. How are you going to get better at drawing? Do you think it's something you can learn or is it a "talent"?
