Well, we are finally getting some things worked out here at LMAJ for our new Art Jewelry Boot Camp. Thank you for your patience as we work out the details. Next week, Monday February 11th, we will hold our first blog hop, and we hope you can all hop along with us. If you blog your designs, be sure to add your blog URL on next Monday's POST!
In the meantime, you can add your designs and creations using handmade headpins in our Flickr group. Please read all the instructions and rules before joining.
Add a description about whether you made the headpins, or, if using another artists work, please give them credit (don't link to their shop in Flickr though), and add your blog URL if you plan to participate in the hop.

We are really hoping that doing these blog hops will help us to build a community, get to know some other artists out there, and be inspired by what others are doing. So here are some basic blog hop Good Manner Rules: leave encouraging comments for each other. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. But please, lets try to make some friends on here, and let our hoppers know we stopped by.
Don't be discouraged if you don't get lots of comments. Many people are silent followers and just don't know what to say, or don't like to comment.
That's it really, be nice, don't get upset, this is supposed to be fun! And I am sure it will be.
Next Monday, February 11th, you will be able to add your blog link directly to the blog post. Please use the direct URL to the blog about your creation.
Feel free to promote the hop on your current blog that day, by linking to us, so your followers can hop along too.
