I always love when I find a reader or blogger online that I can really relate + connect with. {Hello! All of my Minnesota friends were found through this blog, which is so awesome.}
Yesterday I had coffee with a budding entrepreneur and as we talked I told her that I wouldn’t be sitting with her if it weren’t for community and the generosity of others. True story; read about that here.
Community is one of my favorite parts of my blog // this job. I’m making one of my goals for 2011 be to connect with more people daily and weekly.
Will you help me? >> If you have a minute, can you please answer these 4 questions about yourself? And if you remember, come back tomorrow and read through the comments left. Maybe you’ll find a reader that you’ll be able to connect with, too :]
Here are the questions:
1. what is your name and blog/shop URL?
2. what is your blog or shop about?
3. share something fun about yourself.
4. what is something that’s a “favorite”?

Lisa Leonard recently shared tips on creating/establishing community, as did Allora Handmade. Hope you read them! ;]

~Heather, here! http://www.ACupofTeaWithHeatherLee.blogspot.com
~My blog is somewhat of a diary I have kept since coming back home in 2008. It has kept a lot of my friends I have made around the world more connected with what’s going on in my life.
~I’m a newlywed (Last July!) and am loving every second of it! We’re still in college so neither of us have married friends yet…a lot of people think we’re crazy for getting married so young (22 and 23 isn’t THAT young, right?) but we don’t care. ;)
~Sipping a delicious cup of coffee in the morning is my favorite part of the day. If I miss this time in the AM I feel like my day started on the wrong foot!
That isn’t too young! My hubby and I got married at 20 and it’s been 12 years later and we’re still in love and love being married! We heard the same thing when we got married but it doesn’t matter. When you know, you know!!! Congrats!!!!
1. I have three {yikes!} http://www.studio2three.com; nickkara.blogspot.com; studio2three.etsy.com
2. The first is my photography business; the second is my personal blog that covers food, life with my husband and photography; the third is my etsy shop that holds my handmade flower accessories
3. Something fun about myself…hmm…I am your stereotypical artsy person–left handed vegetarian who cannot sit still–have to be creating some new idea all the time.
4. My something that is my “favorite” is my husband–he is the best! He is my encourager and best friend.
Love your photography work. The sisters gallery is beautiful! :)
Hi, all! 1. Steph, and I have two blogs:
http://howtohostess.wordpress.com/ and http://3pmu.wordpress.com/
2. The How to Hostess is about…hostessing! I love parties and all
the planning, cooking, and crafting that comes with them. 3PMU is
short for 3 PM Pick Me Up, I post something fun at 3 PM every
weekday to break up afternoon monotony. 3. Instead of New Year’s
resolutions, I make a list of 12 things I have never done and then
check one off every month. This past year included singing karaoke
(very badly), baking a pie from scratch (tasty, but not pretty),
and going to a country western bar (fun!). 4. Sunday mornings, our
local rock station plays all 80’s rock songs. They call it
Resurrection Sunday and I love it!
Ooooh! I LOVE you hostessing blog! I added you to my reader! :)
Thanks, Jenn!!
Very neat blog idea! I’m a new subscriber! I’d love some fresh ideas in the area of hostessing! :) and I also love your New Year’s resolution list! Maybe I’ll do that this year instead!
I’m adding you to my reader too! I love parties and theme ideas, etc! Thanks for posting :)

I’m Kate, and I blog about food, recipes and cooking but with personal stories and memoirs slipped in. I’ll throw in a few pinches of family for flavor, add a dash of life to keep it interesting and occasionally an ingredient or two that surprises. I like to keep people entertained. And fed.
Something fun about myself is that I’m ambidextrous for everything except writing. I’m working on that one though.
Favorites? Telling a story and sharing a food memory that reaches right into a readers soul and touches them profoundly.

Yay!
Something fun? I am a really bad cook. I mean really bad. And I have kids, so I hate to admit most of their meals come from a can, frozen bag or, on a really bad day…a box! I love to freezer cook with friends, to steal ideas, and tips, so if anyone blogs about that…..:)
What do I love? My girlfriends! The ladies God placed in my life as encouragement, support and accountablilty has been nothing short of amazing. I love my husband, but lets face it, he can never be my girlfriend ;)

Hello!! My name is Emily Smolak
My blog is Sassy Smolak http://www.sassysmolak.com
It’s mainly about life, me, music, fun finds, and being crazy. That doesn’t really narrow it down does it. Well, let’s just say it is rad :).
Something fun about me: Everything….no I am just kidding. Umm, I am a HUGE neat freak. I mean I face all the labels in the cabinets to the front and line up my towels I think it’s hilarious when I catch myself doing it. I think it might be a little OCD, but whatever at least my husband doesn’t mind.
A favorite: Can a person be my favorite thing! My father. He is so near and dear to me!! I would say that and my liberty of london for Target mug. I was only able to find one and I use it every morning for my coffee. It is my favorite for sure!
This was so fun and so fun to read about other fun people. Thanks for this!
1. My name is Samantha and you can find me at my blog, Two Become One.
2. I intended for my blog to be about my adventures as a newlywed, although most of my posts have to do with crafts and home remodeling and such. I really just blog about my daily adventures in life after college with my husband and two four-legged kiddos, Bronx and Torre.
3. Something fun about me- Idunno. I’m one of those people has more interests than my life can handle, and although I’m good at a lot of things, I’m not really great at anything. My husband would say I have the biggest heart in the world because I cry for anyone that is sad. He thinks my mom and I should own stock in Kleenex. And we probably should.
4. I have lots of favorites. I could name one in all sorts of categories, but I’ll keep it simple. I love to bake. I’m not much for cooking (raw meat makes me puke) but if it includes sugar and flour, I’m all over it. My favorite thing to bake is cupcakes. I also love photography and my new Silhouette!! Oh, and I would love to be a general contractor. I like manual labor, but unfortunately I work in marketing right now. *Sigh* Maybe one day….

3. When my husband and I were at the hospital for an overnight visit to monitor my blood pressure we were looking at the nursery full of new babies and he must have gotten a bit excited with seeing them all cause he slammed his head into the nursery glass! He was just too excited for all the babies!

Hi luvs!
{1}My name is Gina and I blog over at http://www.HiyaLuv.com
{2}My blog is about craftiness, beauty in the world, reflecting on life and managing the day to day craziness, giveaways, handmade creativity, my life with pupster Polo & fiance, and the opening of my Etsy shop Hiya Luv Handmade http://www.etsy.com/shop/hiyaluv720
[OH! and Right now I am taking nominations for Best Blogs of 2010!!! So fun!]
{3} Polo is my pupster; my pride and joy. He is the best puppy ever and I rescued him from a shelter. He is named after Ralph Lauren-not Marco but who cares. He likes to hide his bones when we “aren’t looking.”
{4} I am a girly girl but a {huge} sports fan! Yup! Sports are my fav-besides my furry four legged friend of course. I love college football [go buckeyes!] march madness, baseball [phillies!], and am in the market for an NBA team although bubs and I have season tickets to the 76ers.
Perhaps I should switch 3 & 4. oh well. :) Come visit. Let’s be friends mate.

hearing the laughs from my two daughters, who love eachother so much, and which I adore and am so thankful that I get to spend so much time with.
1. what is your name and blog/shop URL? http://www.2washingtons.blogspot.com
2. what is your blog or shop about? My husband and I moved to Seattle from DC this summer, it is our way to keep in touch with friends and family and keep them updated on our lives (including our soon to be addition, a baby in March)
3. share something fun about yourself. I just started knittng a baby blanket for our baby and I just want to go home sit on the couch and knit!
4. what is something that’s a “favorite”? Ice cream. Probably because I only eat it in the summer and my husband isn’t a big fan, so going out to get it in the summer is a big treat.
1. what is your name and blog/shop URL? http://www.bebehblog.com
2. what is your blog or shop about? It started as a pregnancy journal with bebeh #1 and has since turned into a little bit about EVERYTHING from cooking to crafts to party planning to personal rants and raves plus a pregnancy journal for bebeh #2 – who was born last week!
3. share something fun about yourself. My father was in the military so we moved a lot when I was a kid. Then I married a Navy guy when I was 22 and the moving continued! Apparently I’m a bit of a wanderer at heart, despite loving my historic home & little town.
4. what is something that’s a “favorite”? KNITTING! I love knitting. Love love love. I made almost all my Christmas presents this year and make a habit of sending hand made baby hats to all my internet friends when they have babies.
