Party Time




I thank you for coming on along!!!
Welcome to the top 5 reasons my blog rocks!

1 It's real... I created my blog for my family and friends to keep up with our adoption process but it turned into so much more than that... now I post not only about our (click on the links) ADOPTION but also our NEW HOME and CREATIVE ENDEAVORS and FAITH

2 It's thrifty... take for instance my kitchen makeover  for $119.00

3 There are giveaways... click HERE for the current one...

4 It is ever evolving.... as I learn more and more about blogging I add more and more too it
I started with a generic blogger template... then learned that I could add a picture and that I could add a link to subscribe and then a personalized header and a link to my ETSY shop and then to take better pictures

5 It is as welcoming as I am ... what you see with my blog is what you would get if you came to my home... cozy, personable and real!
See the picture of my hubby and I at the top? 
That is us...my hubby makes me laugh ... he encourages me to be me... at all times!

Many Blessings
Patricia

  1. I stopped by from Amanda's party, and I enjoyed your list! I think "keeping it real" is SO important for a blog, and I appreciate that it's one of your objectives. :)

  2. I'm visiting from Amanda's party. This is such a fun way to meet new bloggers.

    I'm off to explore your blog. I want to read about your $119 kitchen makeover. Doing projects on a budget is right up my alley.

  4. Also stopping by from Amanda's party. You know, I think finding your blog is a God thing . . . been thinking about adoption for some reason over the past few weeks. Have no idea where that came from! I look forward to reading more of your posts.

  5. Thanks for visiting today! The big reason I do all my own blog design is because (like you!) I am thrifty and refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for a custom layout (by the way, love your $119 kitchen remodel-- you're AMAZING!). Making your own blog button isn't all that tough... although I still get the HTML mixed up from time to time!
