Naming a blog is hard! All the good names are taken. You want it to be an interesting name, profound, be creative, and yet, have meaning. I read a lot of blogs, I read blogs on reading, sewing, cooking, knitting, gardening, fashion...just about everything. I didn't want my blog to be about one thing in particular, mainly because I couldn't live up to the pressure of having something worthy to say about just one of those things everyday. I read about a book a week, and usually about all I can say after I finish a book is "it was good" or "I liked it". I finish sewing something about once a month. I do cook everyday, but it's not always blog worthy. So, the way I see it is that if my blog covers all of my interests, I should have something to say on a regular basis.
So, I begin this blog with why I named it Sidewalk Shoes. First of all, it goes without saying that anything with shoes in it is good for me. But I tried to come up with something meaningful, my husband tried to come up with something meaningful, my cats were no help at all. So, I stood in front of my husband's vast album collection looking for something catchy. I really liked "The angels want to wear my red shoes", but that's kind of long. My husband pulled out "Sidewalk Shoes" by Ed Snodderly. Never heard of him. But I like shoes and like I said anything with shoes in it is good. So, there you have it, Sidewalk Shoes.

Hi Pam
Would you ask your husband if he'd like to sell his copy of Sidewalk Shoes? I played on it and don't have a copy!

Sidewalk Shoes is a fantastic name! Wish I'd thought of it...

Well, you did it! You even imported the picture. It took me quite a while to figure out how to place pictures where I wanted them.
All the good names are not taken. You just found one. I have no idea what the album is like, but I can think of many directions you could go with "Sidewalk Shoes". It could be a travel log or go various other kid-oriented directions.
