I think it is reasonable to say that I am a blog junkie. As more time passes, I spend more and more (and more) time on art blogs. I love the interactive nature, inspiration, and immediacy that blogs provide. However, the limited time that I have means that I have been unable to fully explore the blogs that I love. There are usually many, many posts that I have never seen that were put up before I discovered a new blog. I just don't have time to go post by post from beginning to end in order to see all that is available.
So...Buried Treasure is about digging deep to uncover some hidden gems. The premise is simple. On Thursday July 16 all participating bloggers will re-post one (or more) of their favorite posts from their blog. As you might already know, I don't like too many rules when it comes to art and art collaboratives. So anything goes. Please leave a comment on this post or email me if you would like to participate. Just try and let me know by Tuesday July 14. On July 16, I will post a list of all participating artists so that you can be sure to find all the Buried Treasure. Feel free to let your own readers know about this project by spotlighting it on a post prior to reveal day. Happy hunting!

Shall have to think about this Seth - am not sure I have a favourite blog - interestingly I think the 16th July was the day of my first ever blog!
Seth! What a GrEAt idea =) I miss so many wonderful reads...I just don't have the time to visit all the blogs I'd like to each day. I want to be a part of this great plan of yours! Bravo, my friend!!
I'm up for this one. The only problem is how I'm meant to decide.
Great idea, I'm in!
This sounds like it's going to be so fun! I'd love to participate, and can't wait to see everyone's picks.
I am "digging" this Seth!
Seth, I want and need to do this! My blog is so new that I guess it won't be as hard as everything else so I am going to try. Thank you for the oppurtunity, Lisa
You can call yourself a blog junkie, but I'd say you're a little more of a "Blog Connoisseur!"
Love to participate in your latest treasure trove! You think of the most creative and clever collaborative projects for everyone to participate and share in with one another.
Sure, count me in. I would love to do this.
Yo! I'm in. - Jeanne
I think I can do this..I am going to say yes..

As usual you know how to get the juices flowing so I am in...I will put it up probably on the 14th because I will be visiting my 89 year old mother in law. Imagine and live in Peace, Mary helen Fernandez Stewart
Great idea Seth. for a moment, i thought you were going to get us digging up our gardens!!!
Yes! I'll get the shovel from the shed and unearth something for this project.
My blog is so new, there won't be much digging required...but I know I will be here reading, so I'd like to play too. :)
you really do have such lovely ideas for collaborations and challenges. I'm in for this. Can't wait to see what everyone puts up!

You continually amaze me with your wondrous ideas and here is yet another! This will be so fun to explore all the posts and I definitely want to be a part of it.
How funny it is that Alicia, Debrina and I all commented one after the other being as we're all friends.
Absolutely brilliant.I love this idea!! I'm in too!!!
Cool Idea. I'll do it. Also I was going to ask you some advice on NYC...our trip is coming up in 3 weeks. We want some good food, art, and local flavor. email me at jebmatulich@yahoo.com and I'll reply with some things we are looking to do and see....that is if you have time. thanks Jeb

I hope you don't mind. I snagged your lovely "buried treasure" image for my "Silent Sunday" post tomorrow. You say it better than anyone, so I hope this directs people to your awesome blog for the dates and such.
You know I'll play. I am already thinking about what my favorite post was. Thanks again for coming up with a collaborative project that already seems to have many participants.

Hi Seth, I just heard about your blog from my Sister Jennifer Lorton. I think I'll take a look around here. I love your idea.
I blog as my cat (I know it sounds odd), can I join in too?
Looking forward to it!
Seth, I hate to be dense but how do I repost?
What an inspired idea! It will provide a great opportunity to see other blogs that perhaps we haven>t come across. I'm in as well!

i'd like to participate if I had a connection while out of town. heard about it through ELK.
I've been a fan of your blog for quite a while - it's no buried treasure!
I wold like to participate, though, so I'll start digging! I see lots of friends in the column on the left - how fun.

I missed out on getting involved with your pprevious project but wasn't about to miss out on this one! Thanks for the cool idea.
Missed it :-( .. but will visit the blogs and have a peek everywhere.
Am enjoying your buried treasurers, while there are lots of blogs out there, find gems is a real treasure. Thanks for your recommendations.
