I just wanted to come on this morning and THANK EACH AND EVERY FOLLOWER TO MY BLOG....the number has grown in leaps and bounds.
Some visit now and then and some everyday....how wonderful.
I follow MANY but I don't get to them everyday...I take a few each day so if you don't see me there...wait! I will show up....I think it's like that for most of us don't you?
We have to work the blogging in with our outher daily routines and of late it seems the blogs have taken rank over everything else the first thing in the morning! lol But I love seeing what my friends are doing.
So thanks again and have a wonderful day
P.S. I wish there was a way I could reach many of you who follow to give back - I see your picture in the following, but lots of you don't show a blog, website or e-mail...so this was the best way to do it.
Karen
Yes, it is exactly lke that for me too! I don't have nearly as many followers, but I still struggle with visiting them all. Its easy to get far behind!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Karen, it's the same way with me too.. but I'm sure they all know that we haven't forgot about them.. it's just that.. Life happens and sometimes there just isn't enough hours in one's day for one to do everything they'd like to do..
ReplyDeleteYou have a great day!
Blessings,
~Lynn
Morning,
ReplyDeleteYes, it is the same for me too! It is still about balance. I now have so many online friends that email me. That is now taking a lot of time and while I enjoy the one on one, I am still trying to spend less time at the computer though so something has to give!
Have a great day!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI completely understand.
I have spent my weekend here on the internet, reading through everyone blogs, rather than up and doing the "have-to's" around here.
Yep, guess that laundry and dirty dishes will have to wait just a few hours more!! LOL!!
Thank you sweetheart for give us all a wonderful blog to read, for inviting us all into your life and your home.
Your blog is one of my all time Fav's to read.
Have a wonderful week!!!
~Tam
Karen,
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to see what you are up to...nice to be in others homes and see what is happening!
Keep up the good work! Dianntha
same way for me too Karen....I try to visit the ones that post once a week or less because I just can't keep up with the ones that post multiple times each week!

Hi Karen,

Hi Karen...
ReplyDeleteSame with me...you just can't keep up responding to everyone...I know I can't...
I think we all understand there's things that need to get done...
Just do what you can and hope everyone understand...
Hugs,
Trena
Good morning Karen. It's so great to make so many new friends in blogland and I always know you're "out there". Sure wish we could all get together like you tried to do last summer! Have a great week, Dawn
ReplyDeleteKaren, thank you! Completely understandable. I don't have a blog and keep trying to find time to start one, but my email is in my profile. Many times I read and work and don't comment because of where I am and limited break time, but I do love your blog and am always interested in your decorating, what you are doing and your wonderful designs.
ReplyDeleteJayne
Of course you have a lot of followers! You have a wonderful blog! Hope mine grows that big someday!!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen:
ReplyDeleteEven tho' time is limited for blogging, what with all our other "things" we have to do, it still is one of my most interesting times of the day for visiting others activities... I love your blog, you are so gracious to let us have a "peek" into your life .You have a wonderful family and I can just see the fun you have together.. It shows !!
Blessings to you and family,
Maurine
You are one of the sweetest ladies I know and you have a wonderful blog, that is why I follow you. If you don't check mine out and comment, I'm okay with that. I don't go and comment on blogs so I can receive a comment back. I comment because my words are heartfelt. I always wonder how some of these women have time to work outside the home, shop all the GW and TS, work on projects, keep up the home and have time to check out everyone's blog. It's so time consuming! I LOVE all the wonderful ideas I am coming across. But that just adds to my project list. How do you find a balance between projects and blogging?! Lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a delightful week, Karen! Thanks for a wonderful blog!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate about blogging time. Seems I haven't had as much time as I would like :0) I enjoy stopping by when I can and it's always nice to see you when you stop by!
Kim
Karen~ I always enjoy visiting your blog. You do such a great job! ~Dan~
ReplyDeleteHi Karen!
ReplyDeleteYou are very sweet to acknowledge everyone, even those without blogs.
Yes your blog has grown! Wow! But of course, your warmth comes thru.
I can't get over what a difficult week you had and you just go on...very inspiring.
Surgery, funerals...jeez
Glad it's behind you.

Hi Karen. I enjoy your Blog. I try to visit each day. You always have such interesting posts. Hopefully, you can visit my Blog sometime.
ReplyDelete~Janet
Karen,
ReplyDeleteAs always...we love to see what new things your up to, your such a sweet person, one cant help coming back!! :)
Anne
Hi Karen! I'm a lurker and lover of prims things. I love how we can Follow with blogger, it's so easy to see who's updated each day in the Dashboard, I don't know how I'd keep up with all my favorite blogs without it! Seriously. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Monday! :)
Even though I don't have a blog, I so enjoy yours. I look forward to the time of day that I can visit certain ones and yours is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing so much with us. You are truly an inspiration, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week. Hugs, Sherrie
I love to come visit you here on your blog. I don't always have the time I would like to blog, or to respond when I've read a post, and I feel like I'm missing something when I go a while without visits. You have shared much with us and I enjoy this online friendship! If anything happens to my computer, I will have horrible withdrawals! LOL
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
Mercy
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog today and am enjoying it. Lots of great food and stories. Looking forward to more reading!
Kim
Same here Karen, not enough time in the day but I do appreciate them so much. I try to visit the ones that leave a comment but I think they realize that life happens:)
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy visiting your blog and I really hope to see you in June:)
Rondell
I mainly limit my blogging time to evenings because I could be on here all day. It can happen so easily.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I know what you mean. Comments are important to us all, but I think we all understand what hectic lives we all lead. Working as a full time teacher, having twin 13 year olds who are into sports, weight room, and music lessons, plus trying to make home cooked meals and keep a neat home is overwhelming at times! I try to check everyone's blogs in the evening when things settle down a bit. I really look forward to all of my days off and snow days to catch up on things. Thanks for being so understanding! I love your blog...it is one of my favorites. I always check to see if "Karen" has posted anything new. I just feel at home reading your blog.
ReplyDelete~Stacy
Karen,
ReplyDeleteYou were one of my first followers and encouragers when I started my blog. I appreciate every sweet comment you leave me and I certainly do not expect you to comment on every post! Blogging is soooo addictive! I could spend every waking moment on here reading and learning new things but alas, the real world interfers! Maybe when I win the lottery, I'll be able to quit working and just laze the day away here in blogland! Wouldn't that be nice??!!
Hugs,
Donna
i love visiting your blog and i love the newsletter i get from you ,too. keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy visiting your blog and many others, too. You don't have to worry about a return visit to mine! I don't have one. :-) I spend too much time reading others!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Karen!
Karen
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy reading your blog and so many others as far as that goes. I don't have one of my own. Maybe someday. Love all your pictures and see you on APP. Keep on posting

LOL!I've only got 5 followers on my blog :( but I follow many myself including yours!
ReplyDeleteMy blog list exceeds 200 so I don't always keep up but I try. I enjoy trying ;D
ReplyDeleteKaren, I think you are very special. I get alot of great ideas from you. I think you BLOG ROCKS!!!!! You have alot of people who follow you because you are down to earth, caring , sweet and kind. You are under my favorites. I don't get to all the blogs because there is alot to do, I cook and bake for my family and take care of the home ect.
ReplyDeleteI know I have made a friend!(YOU)

ReplyDeleteI have been sending prayers to your family and for your kitty .

Miss chatting with you .

Karen I looked so forward to reading your blog I try to read it everyday. Your recipes that I have tried have been great and really pretty simple to make those are the kind I like.And your house what is not to love about it.I am very grateful to be a follower of yours so thank you Karen.
ReplyDeleteKaren! Hello! My goodness I was so thrilled to have a visit from you! xoxo Thank you! Your wonderful kind comments also just made my day. I know you can imagine the big (enormously huge)smile on my face when I saw I had a visitor, I have been waiting on pins and needles for a visitor to stop on over. Wouldn't it just be my luck the ole' friend follower was down for some maintenance!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop over and get my Colonial Home fix before I started some laundry and let you know I posted the pictures of the yard sale goodies. xoxox I hope your day is great!
Love,
Jobeth

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI've been out of the whole blog world for the past couple of months. I find it difficult to balance my time, and like all of us, my family has to come first, and the first thing that gets put to the wayside for me when I'm crunched for time is my computer time.I sure do miss all my blog friends though, and am hoping to get back in the groove again.
Prim Blessings,
Kim
COMPUTER LAND HAS MADE THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD A MUCH SMALLER PLACE,,, THROUGH THE MANY BLOGS WE HAVE GAINED FRIENDSHIPS AND DECORATING IDEAS,,, FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND FOOD FOR TRYING TO COOK.... ALTHOUGH THERE SURELY ISNT TIME TO WRITE TO EVERYONE WE MIGHT WISH TO SAY "HELLO" TO ,,IT IS COMFORTING TO KNOW OF PLACES (BLOGS) TO VISIT WHERE WE KNOW ARMS WILL ALWAYS BE OPEN FOR SHARING AND CARING.... THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL BLOG AND THANK YOU TOO FOR YOUR VISITS TO MY WEE BLOG... XXXX B
