Welcome to the new Monthly Unplugged Project!
February’s Unplugged Project theme is spiral. Remember, the theme will be up for a month now instead of just a week. I will close this linky on March 1st and also open up a new one for a new theme.
The “rules” are basically the same:
- If you do a spiral Unplugged Project, then please link to your project post, not just your blog. I am trying to build a library of project ideas, so we want people to always be able to find you project in the future.
- If you don’t do a spiral project, then please DO NOT LINK. I will remove any links that clearly do not fit the theme at all, no matter how nice your blog is. Sorry, nothing personal, but I just want to keep this organized.
- A link back to Unplug Your Kids in your project post would be greatly appreciated! :-)
- If you have the time, energy, and inspiration to come up with more than one project for spiral, then feel free to link to each spiral project seperately in the linky.
- If you have no blog, then please leave a comment on this post with a description of what you did. The more ideas we get, the better!
The Unplugged Project is very flexible. The point is to be creative and have fun!
(I will have the buttons available later in the week.)
I have been a bit burned out on the Weekly Unplugged Project lately. We just don’t seem to get to it every week and it has become more of a Blog Burden for me, then a Blog Benefit. Plus, public participation seems to be waning along with mine. Sigh… Time for a change.
I have heard from a few people who are still interested. I am still interested too, but now that my children are older I can no longer get to it every week and it MUST NOT become a chore. The point is for it to be fun. So, I have a new plan.
How about a Monthly Unplugged Project? I will announce a theme on the first day of the month, and close the Linky on the last day of the month. That will give everyone (including me) a month instead of a week to come up with a project, do it, write about it, and link to our posts (and/or leave our project in a comment). Those with more time and enthusiasm could do as many projects as they want for each theme.
Over the years I have also been contemplating creating “Unplugged Project Buttons” that people could download and which would link to the project. Button display would be entirely optional of course, but I have had some requests from people over the life of the project, so I guess interest is out there.
After about two years, I am finally getting to the buttons, and have even created a few! Once I figure out some of the technical issues, I’ll put them out for any interested readers to take.
How does it all sound?
Goodness! I have been bad about getting to these Unplugged Projects lately. Never did get to last week’s thanks (other than to cook and eat Thanksgiving dinner!) and for this week’s writing theme, we are too busy traveling and visiting family.
But if you did a writing Unplugged Project this week, then please link to your project post in the linky below. If you didn’t join in with a writing project, then please do not link, but read more about how to join us here.
Due to seemingly waning interest and the holidays, I think we’ll have a bit of an Unplugged Project vacation. Enjoy and stay creative!
In honor of the American Thanksgiving holiday, the theme for this week’s Unplugged Project is Thanks. We will be doing our Thanks project on Wednesday afternoon (a half day at school). We’ve been too busy with school and other things to get to it yet.
If you did a Thanks Unplugged Project this week, then…well…thanks! And please add a link to your project post (not just your blog) in the Linky below. If you didn’t do a Thanks project then please do not link, but read more about how to join in here. We’d love to have you take part!
The theme for next week’s Unplugged Project will be:
Writing
Have fun and Happy Thanksgiving!
The theme for this week’s Unplugged Project was cats. We have a lot of cats. In fact there is an annoying cat trying to get between me and the computer screen now as I write this. But, that is as far as we have gotten with cats this week. Maybe I’ll link to something later.
In the meantime, what did you do for a cats Unplugged Project this week? If you did a cat-themed project, then please link to your project itself (not just your blog) in the linky below. If you didn’t do one yet but would like to join in, you can read more about the Unplugged Project here.
The theme for next week’s Unplugged Project will be:
Thanks
(Since it is the United States Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, November 26th)
Enjoy!
