Describing herself as a stay-at-home Mom and certified bookaholic, Canadian Chris and her blog, Book-a-Rama, are familiar to many in our community. If you haven't visited her blog yet, please do so! I know that I spent quite a bit of time wandering through the pages the first time I was there, and it's always good to see a new post of hers show up on my Google Reader.
Without further ado, let's see Chris' blogging space and hear what she has to say about it. Her Blogger profile lists photography as an "interest", but from the look of the photo collage she sent me, it's much more than an interest! (Click on the photo to view it full size.)
Where Chris is inspired while posting to Book-a-RamaI'm a couch potato blogger. I'm very lucky to have a laptop, so I can blog in front of the TV, usually while watching HGTV. In the morning, after I've sent the husband and child off to work and school, I take an hour or two to work on the blog before I run errands. It's just me and the cats then. I make myself breakfast, cereal and a cup of tea, and get comfortable in my favorite chair. When my fingers need to take a little break or ponder a subject for a while, I'll look out my kitchen window and watch the birds flittering around the bird feeder.Isn't her space great? I can see myself curled up in that chair! If you'd like to take part in this weekly series and have yet to receive an invitation, don't be shy! Use the "Contact Me" form in my header to send me an email. The more, the merrier!
Very nice set-up! I wish I had such a comfy chair. The collage idea is great.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Cathy! Good luck with Scene of the Blog!
ReplyDeleteVery peaceful setting.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for Scene of the Blog - it is great to meet new to me bloggers and surf their blog!!
Super space! Your mornings sound terrific, Chris!
ReplyDeleteOh...I think that chair would go very well in my library! It looks so comfy! I love the picture of the cat with the paw on the laptop...it appears the cat wants to blog too!
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew how to do a photo collage like that. I think I'm going to be embarrassed when you post my picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collage of photos!
ReplyDelete- I also like hearing that I am not the only one who use a laptop so I can watch TV and be with my family while I write all my tedious posts and comments ;)
It's good to see that you are all enjoying this feature. Hopefully you'll spread the word and it will continue for a good long time!
ReplyDeleteKathy--you have NOTHING to be embarrassed about!!! Although I'd be a novice at it, Chris has given me the incentive to try collages, too.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteLove her chair! Would love to have one like that. If you want to make a college, download Picasa 3. It's free at google. You can make college's and it's really easy! Have a great day!!

Like Splummer says, I used Picasa3 to create the collage. I love making collages! I'm glad you all liked it.
ReplyDeleteLove that chair.. I think I'd have a hard time getting out of it - looks so comfy :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing pics Chris!
I love how the cat appears to be typing.
ReplyDeleteHer space is lovely - much less cluttered than mine! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous pictures Chris, thanks for sharing. I have to agree that having a laptop is so handy.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to Cathy for hosting another interesting Scene :)
I love the kitties and that chair looks so comfortable!
ReplyDeleteYay for Chris! I love her blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the nice comments and thanks Cathy for hosting such a fun feature!
ReplyDeleteOh... now I worry that everyone is going to hate photos of my scene. Ick. :)
ReplyDeleteHow are you?
I now subscribe via RSS feed and added you to my blogroll.

Great post! Nice to know there are other couch potato bloggers out there. Now I don't feel so bad about sending in my "scene"
ReplyDeleteI know I've made collages at Picasa but somehow they never have the same feline elegance as Chris's. Mine go for more of a "dog's breakfast" look.
ReplyDeleteI love the cat typing on the computer. That's too cute and the other, black one looks just like mine.
ReplyDeleteHa! This is such a cool thread! I'm off to ask for an invitation to be featured! *crosses fingers, toes, legs and eyes*
ReplyDeletewww.bookwormzreader.blogspot.com
so for some reason my button tries to open a program I don't use to send email... Can I just ask you here for an opportunity to be featured? Sorry, I'm technically challenged a little... :) You can reach me on my blog at www.bookwormzreader.blogspot.com or by email at rachelswormz at gmail dot com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSheri--you're now on my blogroll as well, and I may be contacting you about something you say you like to do!
ReplyDeleteShelly--No one should feel bad about the photos they send. There's no bad blogging spaces, just different ones!
Rachel--no one is turned away from this. I'll be sending you an email soon. I'm thrilled that you want to join us!
Another nice one! I must say, that looks very very comfy there. I think I would fall asleep or something. And I just can't write on a laptop and not at a desk. And I'm not good as a multi-tasker either ... so I must admire her for that! Lovely collage! : )
ReplyDeleteThis has been fun to see!
Nice blog space Chris. That chair looks very comfy! I watch quite a bit of HGTV too.
