Welcome to the 2015 "Grow Your Blog" party

Welcome to my "grow Your Blog" 2015 party! 



I am so very happy to have the opportunity to host this party once again!  My sincere welcome to those of you who are participating for the very first time and to all of you who have come back once again to visit and participate with us here.  I am just blown away by the incredible response to this party -- I think we have over 400 blogs participating this year --(the final count will be made tomorrow.)

The purpose of this party is to meet new blogging friends and to extend an open invitation to "follow" each other.  There are SO many blogs in the "less than 100 Followers" category -- more than ever before.  I have met so many wonderful folks and seen some truly amazing blogs in this category.  So while, you are visiting and making new friends,  please take an extra moment or two to make a special effort in visiting these blogs who are just beginning their journey and want very much to make new friends.  We do all remember what it was like to start as a new blogger and to want so desperately to have a dedicated family of followers!

Before I briefly introduce myself -- I just want to take a moment to tell you that it has not been all that long since I was a brand new blog writer.  I remember all to well what it was like to publish my blog and wonder -- "is there anybody out there who reads this?" 

In my early days of blogging, there were some wonderful ladies who, through their own blogs, helped me so very much--- Lynn and Dawn.   I will always remember their kindness in helping me to bring attentions to my blog, and through their kindness, I was able to truly Grow my blog.  

Now, I am so happy to pay that kindness forward.  This party is my way of sharing that with all of  you --- sharing with you the opportunity to meet new friends and to "Grow your own blogs".


 My name is Vicki -- your host for this blogging event.
I love to knit 
Am admittedly obsessed with yarn
(I have more yarn in my craft room than should be allowed!!)
I love to travel
I love my family, my husband, sisters,and our precious
grandbabies. 
I blog about all of these things. 

just a little sample of some of the things
that I do with yarn...

and that other little thing I do with yarn--
I make nests...
(you can read about them on my sidebar)
~~
If you would like to join me in my
2 Bags's Full Facebook page
you can do so



Some of the folks participating in this event will be hosting
a giveaway on their blog--
I would like to use this space
to introduce you to one of my dearest
and-- most talented friends--
 

My friend Sharon Lovejoy is an amazing author.
She has dedicated her life to writing
for children.
Her latest novel,written for young adults,
is a captivating story of young courage
that takes place in the
pre-Civil War era.
You can read about Sharon's latest novel
 by clicking here 
~~~
My giveaway will be an autographed copy
of Sharon's latest novel.
The giveaway will take place on February 15.  
Everyone who visits my blog and leaves a comment
will be entered in the contest.  
I will post the winner here--
so please make sure that I have a way to contact you.
~~
You can find Sharon at her blog
where she shares her gardening expertise
and talks about her 
wonderful life in sunny California and coastal Maine.
Be sure to visit her and say "Hello"!
~~
   
Update --- 
the winner of the book -- "Running Out of Night"
is Sherry from the blog Createology.
This contest is now CLOSED.


NOW --- on to THE PARTY!!!



Before you begin -- a few brief notes to mention -
 My email -- vboster1@windstream.net

1.  please check your own blogs for any mistakes I may have made.
I have 40 wonderful volunteers, if your link is wrong they will catch it -- but you are free to email me as well. No need to panic.
 I will be home and at my computer all day --- if there is a mistake I will fix it very quickly I promise! 

2. There are so many new blogs this year in every category -- but especially the "less than 100 followers" category.   Perhaps you might especially try to visit some of those folks and become friends with them.  We all remember how hard it was to start into blogging and to begin to grow a follower family. 

3.  This party post will remain up for the entire yearThere will be a link to it at the top of my sidebar for the year.  So please know that you will continue to receive visitors throughout the year.  I would suggest that you consider leaving your party post up for a minimum of 2 weeks before you move on to you next posting.  You should also consider a link on your sidebar or someplace easily found that will take folks to your party post after you have moved on to other postings.


Welcome to the party!

Dear Vickie thank you for organizing all this! This is my first year but I had met many blogs last year that had your badge and that's how I learnt about you!You and your assistants did a great job! It is election day to day and we are staying in listening to all the news so I am "travelling" to blogs through Grow Your Blog and am enjoying it! I'd love to take part in your giveaway too. I love reading books especially with children and this summer I visited Beecher Stowe's house/museum as I love Uncle Tom's Cabin and everything about the freedom and equality. Bytheway Zenobia was my late grandmother's name!!ariadnesky(at)hotmail(dot)com AriadnefromGreece!

Stephanie Faris said...

Nice to meet everyone!!! I changed my no-reply status and it put my email address right up there in the top corner--I'm told you should never, ever do that unless you want to fill your life with spam, so I'm going back to no-reply status. I'm told some people can't find my blog unless I have that setting? I didn't realize that! I'll start putting my blog URL in the comments I leave.

Heather said...

One thing you didn't mention introducing yourself dear Vicki is that you inspire others to do things for charity and to help others. Through you I have been honoured to help both those going through breast cancer and Josephine's Children. You are a beautiful, inspirational person and bring out the best in us!

Unknown said...

Greetings Vicki! I'm not sure how I arrived here to this post, but figure it must be fate. :D I tend to "lose my way" in Blogging and I'm never sure I'm doing it "right" anyway, lol, so if it isn't too late, I'd like to participate as well.

Even if I'm too late to join in, I look forward to browsing participant's blogs and I wish everyone great success.

Sandi said...

Thank you so much Vicki for doing this. I met Sharon Lovejoy years ago at a herb conference and have her first gardening books but will definitely check out her others.
Love my nests and so happy to be on next year's list.

BIG THANKS to Vicki and all of her wonderful volunteers who put this together!!! It will take me most of the year to get to all of the blogs ...but oh what fun!!!! I love Sharon's books and would be thrilled to win one :)

Sheila said...

Thank you so much Vicki for a job well done , your work is incredibly beautiful too !

J said...

Vicki, I thank you so much for all the fun this link party has brought me today! You really are a magnet for creativity and support of one another! I am intrigued that you are a personal friend of Sharon Lovejoy. I have two of her books - the gardening ones - and just adore her. I emailed her once to say I mentioned her books on a blog post and she was nice enough to visit and comment. I had no idea she wrote fiction stories and will look into these. In the meantime, I'd love to win her autographed new book! THANK YOU!

Amy at love made my home said...

Mary Huey said...

Thanks so much for all the work you've put into organizing this year's party. I've had lots of traffic to my blog today!! When I click on the "link" I've posted on my blog's sidebar, it goes to the sign-up post from October rather than today's post with the party list. Did I copy the wrong info?

Buttercup said...

Great group of bloggers. I know I signed up and can't find myself.

Phoebe @ Lou Messugo said...

SueFitz said...

I didn't see my blogs on the list - not sure why not - oh well.

I am going through to see what I might follow anyway.

Do you just do this once a year? Have you thought about doing on linky - so that people could put the links on their post?

Know it's a lot of work thanks for hosting

Unknown said...

Great idea! I love your view on yarn. I would love to have your yarn. I am out, the store is 2 hrs away, I don't drive so I have no way to get any. Put a halt to my crochet madness. I have never got to work with anything but Red Heart. I would love to make myself a luxurious something. I signed up. I would love to have more followers. I shared. Thanks so much!

I hope you see this comment, as I see there are so many. Thanks again!

Mosaic Magpie said...

And so it begins....I am sitting here in awe....First it would have taken a man with a team of secretaries to pull of this post! Yet you my dear have it all under control. Just the mere fact of alphabetizing all the blog names...boggles my mind. Grouping, counting, sorting...my hat is off to you! Not the hat you knitted for me, but a hat. It is so cold I have my knitted hat on and will keep it there, thank you very much.
You are one of kind, my friend.
xo,
Deb

chasing the sun said...

A huge hug to you and your team for this party..And thank you for your help when I had technical issues !
Your blog is beautiful
I tweaked my blog some more, a few minutes ago.. I didn't realize I had made it difficult for people to figure out how to follow me until another blogger brought it to my attention..
Your friend's book looks lovely..

Hi Vicki
I just want to thank you for all of your hard work in this huge endeavor. I enjoyed helping you and have been a follower for two years now. I am always touched by your giving heart and selflessness.

Patrice said...

I had such fun the year that I did this blog hop. I am currently without my own computer, so blogging is on hold. The lovely things you knitted are so creative. I love the way you add flowers to your scarves. My knitting is not in that league at all. Please enter me in your drawing.

Quirky Homemaker said...

Thank you so much for hosting, Vicky! I've already met a couple great women and I'm going to go try to do some visiting today. Hoping to make it to everyone over the course of this week! I have learning to knit on my 50 before Fifty list, but haven't put much effort into it yet! Have a great week. :)

africanaussie said...

thank you so much for doing this again Vicki, and I am excited to be epxoring many more new and different blogs. It is a pity when new and lovely blogs stop blogging and i am sure it is becuase they dont feel a conneciton with their followers. Thanks for giving everyone this opportunity. what a wonderful giveaway you have - I am one of Sharons avid followers.

Julia said...

Hi Vicki.
It's so generous of you to do this again.
I'll be sure to go check some blogs throughout the year.

Have fun with this Grow your Blog Party.

Thanks again. Your blog is awesome, it's so inspiring.

Thank you, Vicki, for hosting this. I've had a blast checking out all of these blogs. I don't have enough time to read the blogs I follow, and now I've added a bunch more to my feeds! :-)

On the flip side, I've nearly double my readership. So exciting!

I can't imagine organizing all of this. Thanks so much (you and your volunteers) for taking the time to do this.

Jean | DelightfulRepast.com said...

Hi Vicki, I just came over from A Bit About Britain (I love Mike's photos!). This week I made Pastry Heart Jam Tarts in honor of my Fifth Blogiversary. Can't believe I've been blogging this long! I'm looking forward to checking out some of your yarn projects. I have a bunch of friends who knit and/or crochet but I have, so far, resisted all offers to teach me! Attempts at any sort of needlework have always made me cross-eyed and crabby! :D

suziqu's thread works said...

Hello Dearest Vicki
There are no words to really thank you for all that you do and it's not just putting on this party - it goes way beyond what any of us could dream you do for humanity!
Love you dearest friend and I am so full of gratitude for making this party such a success.
I'm still enjoying visiting so many blogs and it will take sometime yet to get through them all.
Love all that you create and especially you!
