Blogland fun

Tagged for: Ten reasons I like to blog.


I've been tagged by Karen at ascrapbookofinspiration. Karen has the most beautiful blog, so be sure to take some time and visit her!


When I first started blogging I knew very little about it. I started out hoping to sell some of my art and to get some exposure, and now I'm finding that some days I would rather visit all the wonderful people from far and near that I've met instead of painting.

I have found so much inspiration in many of your blogs, not only in a creative sense, but in a spiritual way. I will find just the right words or verses or quotes or songs on your blogs that really speak to me, and it's just what I need to hear that day or that moment.

I like blogging because it lets me be creative, using photos, colors, art and stories. It's like keeping a journal with all of your special treasures inside.

I have met so many friends, I never would have imagined!

I like the comments I get from each one of you and look forward to them every day. They encourage me to do more.

Last but not least, blogging is fun and it's usually the first thing I do in the morning with my cup of coffee in hand, and the last thing I do at night, popping my head into a few new places, before going to bed.

So consider yourself tagged if you've read this and have fun playing along!

Congratulations on your award Donna, I love seeing what new and pretty paintings you've done. You are so very creative and it's always inspiring to visit your blog.
Thanks for passing it along to me...I'm honored to be part of the group you've chosen.

I agree with your 10 reasons you like to blog. I started blogging for some of the same reasons you mentioned. And have found that blogging is such a wonderful experience, making new friends, daily inspiration, and so much more!

I enjoyed reading your reasons for blogging. And looking through past posts.

We spent the night at New Bern NC, on our way to Charleston, a few years ago. We decided to take the road through the Outer Banks, from Virginia and down, rather than the big highway. Loved every minute of it! We walked around New Bern the evening we were there and wished we had more time to explore.

Oh what a great list of reasons you like to blog. Congratulations on your award. You know, it is so hard to bring myself to just spend a day creating without popping on the computer and seeing what creative muse is working on next. I feel the same way you do. Karen

Your award is just beautiful...I will stop by and visit your recipients. Some are new to me.

Blogging has truly enriched my life in so many ways. Knowing you and owning your art are two of those ways!
