It's that time of year again! Vicki, at the "2 Bags Full" blog is hosting her second annual "Grow Your Blog" party. Over 500 bloggers have signed up and the fun will begin on January 25th.
She'll have a list of all of the participants and links to all of the wonderful blogs that are participating.
To join in on the fun, visit her blog by clicking HERE. Visit as many blogs as you'd like.
There will even be give-aways on many of the blogs.
I love blogging and have been doing it for years. I find it to be rewarding in many ways.
I love the creativity of putting together a post. I love hearing from wonderful people and knowing that others are reading and enjoying what I have to share. And, best of all, I love meeting and making friends with so many awesome people. Blogland is a wonderful place!
If this is your first visit to my blog, allow me to share with you a little about what you will find here.
I'm a fiber arts lover and post a lot about knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, needle felting and more. You'll see posts about cooking, gardening, crafting, sewing, and life. I also love the outdoors and traveling. So, I love to share my outdoor adventures and trips. My trips are often much more of an adventure as I love to not only see new things but do new things as well...like mountain biking, canyoneering and hiking. And, many of our trips include camping.
I also share stories about my family. Especially my wonderful daughter.
She's my best friend, she's fun, smart, amazing and she's a harpist.
I'm pretty sure I'll be doing a give-away for this party. I just haven't had a chance to decide on a prize yet. I'll post it soon and will probably provide some options to be sure the winner gets something they'd really like to have. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post and/or any other post over the next month. If you're a follower of my blog, you'll get an additional entry. So, each comment and each follower will count as an entry. I'll use a random number generator to pick a winner at the end of February.
Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit! Enjoy the party!

Your blog is a treat and constant source of inspiration. Of course I'll continue to follow you.
I'm so glad to hear about this...I have 'met' many wonderful and creative people through our blogs! It is a wonderful way to connect!
My first time joining the party. You have a very lovely blog here.
Thanks for participating in the blog hop. I am a member of our local fiber arts (and quilt) guild. I LOVE it!
Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck in growing your blog! I love visiting new blogs, but GFC says I am at my limit of following blogs and I haven't figured how to delete the ones I really don't read anymore. I'll figure it out eventually.
Count me in.. I want to do a giveaway too.. I'm thinking about one of my crocheted hearts.
((hugs)), Teresa :-)
You're my first blog stop!:) This is such a fun event. I've always wanted to learn how to knit. Any good books you could recommend? Hosting a giveaway on my blog, too, so feel free to stop by!:) Lori
Hi I'm visiting for the grow your blog party, working through links in her comments and yours is #1!
I love that you were # 1 to sign up for the party! Already a follower from last year. I didn't know that you did needle felting, though. I have done a little of that myself. Enjoy the party! Aloha
Morning! A harpist...wow...what an instrument, my daughter was a violinist, good too, but she gave it up when she started College, hopefully one day she will begin again and all those painful hours of bad notes and stropping will be worth it! My first grow your blog event going to be a lot of reading!! Laney x
I'm sitting waiting for the party list to go up! In the meantime, i'm getting a head start by going through the comments! Nice to meet you.
Hi, checking out your blog, it is great! I'm going to read more of your posts! Have a great day!
I'm visiting all my friends first before I start in on Vicki's list. Love your blog and always enjoy your posts ... especially your amazing adventures! Have a great weekend, and enjoy the party :) Wendy x
You have some lovely knits. I am blog growing too and have a little giveaway this weekend. Jo x
Very nice blog and Y like to crochet myself and do a little knitting still in the teaching myself stages lol.
Good Morning, Welcome to Grow Your Blog party 2014, I volunteered to help Vicki this morning as there is so many in our party. It is a fun time and I have enjoyed reading your blog. I will become one of your followers if I am not already. Have fun. Shirley@shirleystitches
I'm not participating in Grow Your Blog, but someone else I follow is and so out of curiosity I clicked a couple from the list and follow you here.With that said, I was hooked on your posts right away. I enjoy blogs where people share themselves rather than merely sharing their crafts or photos. Your posts are interesting and your daughter is fabulous.
