Maybe it's because my blog sucks or maybe it's because I work full-time outside my home and don't post as often (who knows) I don't join a zillion parties (I've joined in parties about 5 times). I've visited some blogs that participate and share each posting with maybe 20 parties. I blog for the shear joy of it. I blog because I like to create, write, garden, take pictures and share my thougths about life. I blog to have connections with like-minded people. Heck, it would be a full-time job continually having projects to showcase, linking up to all the parties and then getting back to people. It seems that some people are only concerned with numbers. I found your blog while doing a search for award free blogs. I won't need to become award free because I don't get awards. <br /><br />I like your blog and I'm trying to find more time for sewing (just renovated an old Singer Feaatherweight) that I find at my mom's house after she passed away. Your blog is lovely so I'll stop blabbing and take a look around. Just wanted to add my 2cents worth about awards and blogging. Sometimes the blog world seems so competitive like people racking up gold stars for the best and most popular creation. How in the world would you pick? My personality likes to be inclusive and I would hate to single people out.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234421029665169718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358489183984191680.post-31844039761295678942012-04-08T14:44:56.493-07:002012-04-08T14:44:56.493-07:00oh I am SO with you on this!!

Do I follow what everyone else is doing and post about 5 blogs that I have no clue about and reward them or do I just ignore it for a while? I've been ignoring them until your post came out and now I know what I'm going to do. Thanks!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578806351732965583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358489183984191680.post-81323549845656892712012-04-02T14:41:57.340-07:002012-04-02T14:41:57.340-07:00I totally understand xI totally understand xLucy | Charm About Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802874219199570853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358489183984191680.post-31365816065288609222012-04-02T13:40:40.651-07:002012-04-02T13:40:40.651-07:00I'm totally with you!!

It's nice that people think about us but....I would rather be quilting!! HugsSunnybechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598816858757463280noreply@blogger.com
