spt - the merry month of may



if you've been stopping by amuse-bouche during the past month or so (and, thank you!, if you have), you've probably noticed a trend in my blogging. it's sort of become *all spt. all the time." this is a time of year for me that is extremely busy, and i'm so thankful that i have spt, which prompts me to visit my own blog at least twice a week.

so i'm really excited to try something new with spt this month. today, i'm going to issue the challenges for the entire month of may!! maybe this will free me up to blog about some other things going on in my life?!? who knows? maybe i'll continue this trend into future months? who knows? what i DO know is that i'm really excited about this month's challenge.

may means *wedding month* to me. and, no, this challenge is not going to be about weddings (unless you want it to be...) this month's challenge is simply:



tuesday, may 6 something old
tuesday, may 13 something new
tuesday, may 20 something borrowed
tuesday, may 27 something blue

take it literally, take it figuratively, but by all means, make a commitment to complete all four challenges for the month of may!

Hey, I like this a lot! Not that I'll be any better about SPT's but I like the subjects for May, and I like the advance notice, it will be fun to ponder.

I bet with your job you have loads of blog fodder by the hour. Wish it were more tasteful to have you spill the beans on your most colorful clients, because I bet you could keep us entertained!

what the HECK are those cute favors? I SO want to know what is in them! they are ADORABLE!

interesting challenge Lelly- love the thought it frees you up to blog more!

The Monkeys said...

How very fun! Good job getting May all at once, too! I love the picture too. Is that something borrowed or something you did?

Woohoo- this is a great and creative idea. Love it!

Courtney said...

Fabulous...I love the advance notice this gives me to ponder longer! What a great idea and it will be a nice little break for you!

Way cute favors...filled with chocolates maybe?

Amy said...

Such a great idea, Lelly! I am hereby committing to do all four challenges. And this week's will definitely explain why I've been out of the loop on SPTing.

And I'm laughing at the prospects of Kelly A's last paragraph.

The creative juices must flow for these ones! Yea, these sound like fun. Cute picture of the boxes!

Windy said...

This sounds like fun! I'm already thinking about what I'm going to do! I think I'll just use a picture of myself for something old. The last month of school always has me feeling tired and old!

Very fun idea! Thanks for getting the creative juices flowing for all of us.

Laurie said...

Love the advance notice. It's going to help! I think of May as a perfect month for weddings too - my anniversary is coming up and it's always been the BEST time of year to take an anniversary trip (none for us this year)!

Amanda said...

great idea. thank you!

I love that we have all month to think about it.

this should be fun.

Rachel said...

I have been lazy at blogging, but count me in on your challenge! I will complete all 4 this month!

Chris said...

I love that you posted the month of subjects. I want to say it will help me be more on the ball. But honestly I will probably only think about it on Tuesday. So a goal perhaps. :-)

As my friend, the uber first grade teacher would say, "Give your brain a kiss!"

I LOVE this idea and should make for several (hopefully) interesting weeks of SPTs.

jenny said...

Great idea! I actually had my gas post, but just didn't get around to posting it. Perhaps a double for next week?

Amanda :-) said...

I just had to say I love those little boxes! I'm a fool for a little box!

Tilane said...

Great ideas for this month!

Also, you get a month of challenges out of the way all at once, and we have time to think of something creative.

Serendipity said...

Such a great idea!

Linda said...

This week's challenge will be easy...everything in my house is old, including me!

Marie said...

What a fun idea! May is wedding month around here too. I got married in May, my brother got married in May, my husband's sister got married in May, my husband's parents got married in May.....

Great idea!

patsy said...

I think this is a great idea!!
I wish you would've been at the blog party- I thought about you. It just wasn't the same without you there.

Katie A. said...

This will be great--I already have ideas!

Jill said...

I think it's cool that you're posting a month's worth of assignments and I think these are all very clever. There will be a huge range of responses to these for sure.
