For those of you that may not have known me back in the day, I’ve been blogging for just about 10 years now. I started with my inaugural blog, Ode to the Ordinary back in 2009 on the wonderful Blogger platform. If you’re at all curious about what circa 2009 Shannon looked like you can check it out here (just please don’t hold it against me – lol).
After that, I did a little upgrading and Ms Shannon Beth was born in all of it’s colourful glory – which you can also view right here. I’m still trusting you all to be kind + gentle. Many years have passed since I’ve last blogged with such heart that you so easily find in those two archives, and they sure are refreshing to read. Almost like it’s helping to bring back a little bit of that writer’s sparkle that seems to get buried so easily these days! Especially considering how drastically the blogging landscape has changed these past few years!
Anyways, that wonderful backstory was all to introduce you to a little thing I used to do years ago called 5 Fave Fridays. It used to be my favourite way to spend a Friday morning, reflecting on all of the good + creative + fun things in my world and sharing them with others who might love them as much as I do. Since I think I’d like to use a little more of that writer’s sparkle and throw back to how us old timers used to blog, I decided to bring it on back.
