Introducing Creative Friends Friday

Good Friday morning, friends! How are you this morning? I'm excited to share something I've been working on for a few weeks with you guys this morning.

Social media is often about me, me, me. (I'm guilty, too.) We work hard to cultivate a beautiful feed, attract our target audience, and grow our businesses and followings. In fact we can work so hard that we forget to be 'social'! 

To combat this tendency I'm starting a new series here on Instagram and on my blog called Creative Friends Friday. On the last Friday of every month I will be profiling a friend and fellow artist and or maker in my Instagram feed. I'll be sharing a bit about them and their work, and linking to their accounts. There will also be a longer article that you can find right here on my blog.

I'm using this series to help me hone my storytelling and photography skills for another really big project that I want to begin tackling in 2018. I'm also using this series to share with you some of my really wonderful, creative friends who I think more people should know about!

I'm sure you have creative friends that you would like to recognize, too, right? That's why I'm inviting you to participate in my project. It doesn't have to be elaborate - it can be as simple as sharing a friend's post in your feed and using the hashtag #creativefriendsfriday. 

If you are one of those rare birds who still blogs I also created a blog button for this project! Just copy the image and set the hyperlink to www.amberlynnbenton/creativefriendsfriday

If you do participate please feel free to share these graphics in your feed or on your blog to spread the word!
