I have to say that every day is an adventure here in blog land and today was no exception! I truly have met some of the kindest, unpretentious, happy and not to forget incredibly creative people here in the DIY blog community. Wonderful bloggers and talents like Aimee from It's Overflowing, Kim from Savvy Southern Style, and Pam from Be Colorful, have been such an inspiration to me only to name a few...goodness I could go on and on! And this week I was lucky enough to have stumbled upon the awesome blog, gotta love the name, "Whimsical Musings...It's a Women Thing" and discover the incredible world of it's creator Cindy Adkins. I linked my Valentine's Day Tablescape up to her party this week and voila...today I am a guest feature in her wonderful corner of the bloggy world!

I will admit that I spent a good amount of time the other day poking around Cindy's site and immediately became a fan! I read through several...if not all of her seminars on blogging and she provides a lot of great advice. She has so much to offer bloggers, especially novice ones like myself, who are still asking some of the most basic questions like..."How do I get anyone to even look at my blog?" She talks about how helpful many experienced bloggers were to her when she was just beginning her own journey and now she offers her personal experiences as learning tools for new bloggers. Cindy also highlights how nurturing this community of bloggers happpens to be by nature...everyone is out there cheering everyone else on, wanting to see them succeed!
So to be featured today by someone who I have only begun to admire and without having anymore contact with outside of just reading some of what Cindy has put forth on her blog, well all I can say is that it is just an exceptional honor!
Thank you Cindy so much for the feature spot...simply put...you rock!
(As I am bowing out backwards)
And please please everyone have a wonderfully inspired weekend!

Post Script...As happy as I am that I found Cindy's blog, she did make the announcement in today's post that she will be limiting her blogging to once a month. I know I'm a bit bummed but I do understand her reasons as to why she has made this decision. And yes I will be waiting on pins and needles each month to read Cindy's enlightening post.
You have a beautiful blog Barbara, I am honored to share a spot with you on Cindy's featured list. ~Diane
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, your post for Valentine's Day was over-the-moon amazing! You have such style and heart...it is so evident in your blog.
Thank you so much for letting people know about my blog and I hope that the seminars and tutorials will be helpful to many. My newest book, "Women: Blogging Can Give You Wings" is all about getting new followers.
My problem is that I spend 15 hours a day on here having to keep up with everyone, so I felt like my spiritual life was being usurped...that's why I needed balance and hopefully, that will happen and I will be a better person and blogger because of that decision.
You are just bursting with talent and your blog speaks to all your creativity and panache. You are amazing!!!
XO
Cindy
Hi Barbara! Just became a new follower - love your blog. Cindy is an amazing woman, and has blessed me as well! I was in her first "Woman's Thing" and I know how excited you are - so was I!!
ReplyDeleteLove to have you come visit me, too! By the way, do you have a blogger follower's set up? Couldn't find it?
Blessings,
Donna
