BNR Tuesday

I told my husband that I couldn't think of anything to write about in my blog.  He snorted his wine.  He feels I am gabby and am willing to discuss anything with most anyone.  My younger daughter, when she was in High School, complained that I embarrassed her.  "Mother, you'll talk to anyone."  Guilty on all counts.

But I just want to share how exciting I felt our BNR was this afternoon and evening.  The old enthusiasm and fun was there.  A number of new people showed up probably because of the increased number of hearts on the Activity Feeds and the Tweeting and Stumbling.  More importantly, these people stayed and participated and want to come back for the next one.

The curators did a terrific job and worked their butts off with 116 sales.

The break really paid off.  If you missed this one, be sure to come to the next.

Can't have a post without a picture.  This is the kind of work I did when I first started making jewelry.

    I know what it's like to be chatty as well. We work on Wednesdays, but am glad to hear the BNR was a success. It will keep growing, no doubt.

    How are you going to find out anything if you don't chat with people? Don't feel bad, my Daughter says the same thing about me. Glad the BNR was a great one.

    LOL....I'm the social one in my family, too - although my 11 y/o daughter is starting to take over that title ;). The BNR was awesome! My first time curating, and it sure was a blast! Thanks for posting :D

    I'm so bummed that I had to miss our BNR, and I was really looking forward to it...We had a rough day at our house yesterday. But I should be there for our next BNR! Can't wait.
