Blogosphere Love – Picks for February
March 1, 2013 | Best Of, Close To My Heart | 7 Comments »
A new month, the end of summer here (sigh), the beginning of crisp air and colourful leaves (smile) and these are my three favourite blog reads for February:
First up, a lovely blog by a Norwegian girl in France, appropriately called, Hege in France, has started a new weekly column called, “Tuesday Tips”. Here she shares ideas for DIY projects and little things that can make a big impact. Hege’s latest tip is about Rugcycle, a very cool idea! What’s rugcycle you might ask? Well you’ll have to pop over and read for yourself:
Hege in France – Tuesday Tip: Rugcycle
Do you know Will from Bright Bazaar? His latest post is about a behind the scenes tour of the Ikea Catalogue. Yes, late last year, the very lucky Will visited the Ikea Communications in Älmhult Sweden! Now who wouldn’t like to take a peek of what goes on in a buzz of interior designers, set builders and photographers of the largest printed media in the world? Check it out:

P.S. Did you know that Will has been signed up for a Bright Bazaar book deal? Congratulations Will!
For the blogger or small business alike, Breanna from I’m Breanna Rose, has put together some simple steps for us to add apps to our Facebook pages so that we can market ourselves better. Simple and concise and should take us only thirty minutes to apply. You know what I’ll be doing this weekend, perhaps you might too:

Have a great weekend friends and see you here on Monday!

I’m not ready for Autumn yet :-) I love both Hege and Will’s blogs and I can’t wait to see Will’s book. Breanna’s is a new one for me – it looks great. I’m heading back there now to read some more! Have a great weekend Mel x

Thank you so much for your kind words, Mel. I was so excited to see what everyone else was geeking out over IKEA as much as I was! Have a lovely weekend. Will

I love your collage, Mel! Nicely done! I just browsed Breanna’s Blog and her tips on enhancing Facebook pages, great! Now I’ll hop on over to the others.

Hi Sandy. I’ve started with Breanna’s instructions, super easy. Just need to get some nice icons and I’m done! Have fun at the others! Mel x

I totally agree, Mel. I like them all a lot too being it because of their eye candy content, valuable tips or just making me smile with a simple glimpse!
