Joining In
Thanks to Vicki over at 2 Bags Full I'm joining in with this event :
A "Grow-Your-Blog" event - a kind of blog hop, for those of us with only a few followers...Now, I'm not unhappy with my lovely 34 followers - thank you (and I will draw my Giveaway soon) - but it's lovely to have lots of comments and feel that people are engaging with your blog.
When I have the time to visit other people's blogs, I do try to leave a comment (however banal!) just to show that there is somebody interested - and I am! I love reading people's views on the world, the little personal stories, their experiences of God, their photographs. I have laughed, wept, pondered and perused with people from all over the world. I have been lucky enough to win giveaways - a delicious smelling soy candle, some beautiful beads - to be able to share gifts (thank you Pauleen for my lovely Australian goodies!) and give people some of my crafts. I have discovered new music (Oh, Mags, how I love Rend Collective Experiment. Thank you SO much for posting about them!) and rediscovered old. I've had the encouragement to think about my faith, through Floss's "Pause in Lent/Advent..." and to think about how I am part of an amazing electronic community. It was through a new friend at Thistle Cove Farm (found via PomPom) that I read about this event, so thank you to Pompom and to Sandra for the links.
So I'm going to join in with Vicki, and lots of other people in January to take part in this - both here and over at the View from the Teapot. Maybe you'd like to join in too!

ReplyDeleteWell, I certainly appreciated your kind comments this week! Just stopped by to say thank you, but you've hit the nail on the head with your own post here about what a wonderful electronic community we're all part of! I've never felt it more so than this week, it's been truly heartwarming :)
