Why My Blog Rocks!

My Blog Rocks Party

I try to appear confident on the outside, but on the inside I’m insecure and a bundle of nerves. Writing this post makes me nervous, but here I go!

Amanda at Serenity Now for Amanda had a great idea this week – a party for all of the bloggers not going to Blissdom. Honestly, I really don’t even know exactly what Blissdom is. I just know a lot of bloggers have been talking about going. Never-the-less, I’m always up for a party!

Now I’m going to tell you why My Blog Rocks. I hope you’ll agree and want to come back for another visit.

Rocking Reason One

I love to craft and if I make something I try to show how I did it so that others can do the same thing. I usually can’t come up with the idea, but I sure can copy!

My recent favorites are:

The “S” I did for our front door for Christmas made me happy every day for a month.

We burned these salted candles until they caught on fire late one night.

These pretty cards didn’t cost a penny to make!

Rocking Reason Two

I love to cook and especially love to try new recipes. I share the ones that I think others will enjoy and I also enjoy sharing my tried and true recipes.

Recently I shared Beer Cheese Spread and Game Day Chili. These would be perfect for Super Bowl Sunday.

Rocking Reason Three

There’s always a project going on at the Sweet Pea casa. Right now we are putting in a new driveway and I’m documenting the project along the way.

I’m also documenting the progress on my Mom’s Walnut Avenue home. I haven’t been there in a few months and I can’t wait to go again to see what she’s accomplished.

Rocking Reason Four

I love to decorate seasonally. It’s fun to collect seasonal decorations and use them in new ways from year to year. I enjoy sharing my decorations on my blog.

Rocking Reason Five

I love flowers, love to garden, and love to share pictures of what I grow.

  1. Hugs to you, Paula!! I think so many of us are much more insecure than we let on. You are not alone. 🙂

    You did a great job with your list. For me, your blog rocks b/c you always have a fun project going on…whether it’s a recipe, a craft, or sharing how you decorated a room. I love it. One of my favorite things here is when you follow your mom’s progress on Walnut Avenue. Fun!

    Thank you so much for linking up!!! 🙂

  2. Rock on, Paula! I love you and your blog because you are honest and sincere. And I love all the great and beautiful projects you do. Can’t wait to see more of your driveway and Mom’s lovely home!
    Have a beautiful day!
    xoxo!

  8. Hi! I’m stopping over from Amanda’s. Your blog totally rocks! I’m so in love with your christmas “s”! I wish my last initial was formed in one continuous line. Maybe I could still make an “f”? Anyway, nice to meet you!

  9. I’m new to your blog (from Amanda’s party) and I like what I see! Beautiful flowers, BTW.
    I’m going to keep looking.

  10. Do NOT, I repeat, NOT feel nervous at all– your blog DOES rock!

    I’m especially impressed with that holiday-decoration in the shape of an “S”– that is awesome. I also love that your home is always in the state of “progress”– that was my place for a long time, and now that everything is finished, I’m itching to start something new (scratch that: I’m itching for DH to start something new!!!).
