“The Shabbee Chick”

I initially began a blog as a fun outlet. I did not expect to meet so many new friends all around the world with the same interests. It makes our world so much smaller when you can network through blogging.

October of 2006

You name it!

Read blogs from your friends and neighbors and say HI! Leave them a comment and 9 times out of 10 they will come back to visit and your blog readership will increase. Also, keep on posting! Even if it is a tiny post. Your readers will wander away and read someone else’s blog if you don’t post regularly..

YES!

Yes.

Oh my goodness, all times of the day. I drag my laptop everywhere and just blog whenever the inspiration hits me!

It varies from week to week.

My dear friend, Ashley at http://www.thedraperhouse.blogspot.com started her own fun blog and I thought “I can do this!” and since I want to be just like Ashley when I grow up I dug my heels in and started my own blog!

My family. Nature. Homemakers of the past. Martha Stewart. Jon Stewart (what?). Funny bloggers like http://www.amalah.com and http://www.sweetney.com/. Rachel Ashwell. Cath Kidston. All etsy mommas who craft and put their wonderful art out there to share with the world. My dear friends who love me despite my eccentricities.

This is my website where I sell my graphic design services. Anyone who visits this website and tells me they found me through 5 Minutes for Mom will get a 10% off discount!!!!

I find blogging a fun, creative outlet that allows me to reach out and make my world bigger and yet smaller at the same time by interacting with other blogging women of the world. I had no idea there were so many like-minded ladies out in the world who love their family, their homes and love to craft like me! I’m so thrilled that I started blogging and widened my horizons!
