K ~ Kristy, yep..Me!

For my continuing A to Z Challenge....Letter K is for Kristy...me, myself and I!!
I started blogging on February 10th, 2012. I had no idea where this little journey would take me, nor do I completely know now, but I'm happy to say I love where it's gone so far! I've been totally inspired by so many wonderful ladies and their lives, crafts, cooking, writing....the list could go on!! I have "met" amazing new gals that I know I'd be friends with if we lived closer!
I have 62 followers! That may seem like a small amount to many, but for me it's Huge! That's 62 people that have taken the time to see my little piece of the world! I remember my jaw dropping when I hit 30! Seems silly, but I truly love blogging! It's whatever I'm doing or thinking or making that day! I want people to want to follow because they enjoy what I post not because they have to for any other reason! I used to get emails saying, "I'm following you, now follow me back!" I used to do it because I didn't know.... Personally I think you should follow only if you like (or love!) what you're following. I've still got sooooo much to learn! I love blogs that help us newbies along! Great blogging tips and what they've learned along the way! The blogging community is massive! I had no idea when I started the sheer volume of bloggers. What I've also learned is what a supportive group it is!
I'm excited to be here and doing what I enjoy! Thanks for taking the time to visit, follow and comment...I'm blessed!!
Now before you leave....don't forget to jump over to Gingersnap Crafts and check out her giveaway!...It's one of my scrapbooks!! Woo Hoo! Ginger is celebrating her 1 yr bloggy birthday and you should go over and show her some love anyhoo! She's amazing and I promise you won't be disappointed following her blog! Simply, click below! Enjoy!!

  1. I'm glad your bloggie is picking up so many new readers!!! I topped out at 52 followers b/t 2006-this April. But the page hits tell a different story. There are a lot more people reading your blog than you know! I nearly abandoned my blog when I got into Facebook but I'm glad I didn't!

  5. Stopping in, thanks to the A to Z blog hop list!

    Count me in as one more follower :) I know exactly how you feel-- I literally jump for joy whenever I realize that one more person truly cares about what I'm saying, cares enough to check up on it at least once a week, sometimes once a day!

    Lots of people consider what I do to be a "craft", but to me, all of those "crafty" things can be an art-- and since I take it all very seriously, since it's my job instead of a hobby, I tell people that I'm an artist.

    I've been focusing on making handmade jewelry for the most part, recently, since Hubby started a business selling it for me! I still do other things, though-- it helps me keep from getting "burned out"-- if I'm frustrated with a jewelry project, I can paint a picture or sketch or make a scrapbook or sew or embroider or knit or make any number of other things!

    Anyway, I think your blog is fabulous. I look forward to following it <3

    PS-- Don't forget to check your RSS followers when you're counting-- those people don't show up anywhere, really, but they do follow you! There's a trick to seeing how many RSS followers you have, if you'd like I can tell you...
