Welcome Wagon Friday 7/9/10

006

It’s Welcome Wagon Friday again. Here are my picks for this week:

Freckled Laundry is Jami’s blog. She is all about creating a vintage chic for herself on the cheap. (We like that!)

Buttons For Baga is Genie’s blog. You will be wowed by color when you click on this blog. She loves creating things from fabric and fiber.

Blog Out Loud is the brainstorm of Megan of the popular blog Beach Bungalow 8, and Rebecca of Loving Living Small, also a contributor to Apartment Therapy.

This is not a new blog, but one well worth mentioning. I just chanced upon it myself. I think it is a great resource for bloggers. It will aid you with networking, give you vital blogging information, as well as inspiration to grow your blog.

Here you will find (at the top) Free Resources. That alone is worth the visit. I shall be scrutinizing the site myself when time allows.

So hop on over and make some new friends. And give me feedback about Blog Out Loud, and whether you found the information useful. If so, I will be looking out for other blogs (about blogging) that give us free resources. (We like free!)

  1. Will take a look at Blog out loud this weekend when I have some time to abosrb. Freckled Laundry looks like it might be right up my alley as well. Happy weekend Brenda!

  2. I’m taking a break from packing this afternoon. I can’t wait to see what you’ve found this week to browse. I just love your kitchen “island”. I have an old sewing machine in the garage. I’m thinking about taking the sewing machine out and putting a piece of marble on top to make an island like yours. Still haven’t figured out if an island will work in our kitchen yet though.

  3. Well, Brenda… you know the minute I see the word COLOR… I’m off to check it out. Great picture.

  4. Thank you so much for link to “Blog Out Loud”! What blogger doesn’t want a site like this?!? Love blogging resources!

    Have already put it in my Google Reader, of course! And thus, won’t miss any new posts. Must take time to look back over all the posts, I’ve missed, already.

    THANK YOU!!!

  5. What a stunning and touching blog. I just read about your sister’s son…how incredibly sad. I love that you feature new blogs. I am going to go visit some. It’s a little lonely out there where you start.

    I deeply admire your photography. I am struggling to improve…Kat is much better!

    We are a mother and daughter, and are also new in blogging (about four months old) and would love to have you come and visit sometime, if you wish. We really aren’t all about our jewelry!

  8. Brenda….Thank you very much for mentioning my “buttonsforbaga” blog in your post. Your words were so kind and mean much to me. I am working hard trying to keep the blog current, without too much clutter, not too wordy, but interesting and easy to read. I love taking photos with my Canon Rebel, but I have a long ways to go before I use it as it is supposed to be used. Again, thanks so much for your visit, and I hope you will stop back by soon. Hugs, Genie
