For the Love of Blogging!

I love blogging.  Hopefully that comes across here as I write daily!  Having this portal to a social life via my computer is amazing, but there are days when it's work.


(I found this tray and had to share it with you!  Love it!!)


I have read a lot about blogging too, on other blogs, naturally!  Many offer ebooks about this and that, but I've not been baited until I came across Tara's ebook "52 Weeks of Blogging your Passion".  This ebook is all about encouraging me to blog more, and from perspectives that I hadn't thought about yet. (It could be for you too if you are interested!)  So, occasionally you will see posts that refer to this challenge, and today is one of them!  As we begin the new year, I would like to share my mission, my vision for this blog.

Parkcitygirl is my outlet to share my love for my family and my love for fabric!  Quilting is my creative therapy in the midst of our busy household, by sharing here my desire is to encourage and inspire others to find their personal creative outlet.

What do you think?  Is it me?

Yes, your mission statement definitely describes you. I'm going to check out 52 Weeks of Blogging and I may need to get that tray to help me "live a colorful life."

Katy said...

Sounds like a grea ebook to check out! I'm with ya sista, somedays this blogging this is a bit of work...but then I get comments from my wonderful readers and it pushes me right along!

Hi Amy,
I really love your blog! I think that mine is boring. However, we all blog for different reasons! It was insecurity and a bit of isolation that prompted me to blog. Insecure about my various dabbles in fiber arts; quilting, knitting, dollmaking and the comments have served to spur me onward. I haven't any quilting buddies, so I'm home working alone...lol! Your blog is very YOU and I am happy that you are here!

A mission statement, what a great idea. I should have thought of that earlier. I'll have to take a closer look at the ebook.

I love the tray. It reminds me of a quilt block from a Piece O'Cake book.

Definitely sounds like you!

Sherri said...

Yes...that's you! I look forward to you sharing tips you learn from the e-book!

Shevvy said...

You are doing a good job as far as I'm concerned. I've been a silent reader since I came across a reference to the spring quilt festival and all the wonderful examples I found on that inspired me to make a proper effort to learn patchwork and quilting.

My new year resolution was to finally set up my own blog and participate online rather than just lurk, so thank you very much.

Great mission statement! I'm still working on mine.

It sounds perfect!

Cheryl Arkison said...

I've seen that ebook. I took a class with Creative Thursday and we went through similar personal challenges to our on-line presence. It did wonders for me.
And yes, it sounds like what you do.

Isa said...

Yes it's you for sure!
I love your blog, and through your quilt festival I've met so many talented bloggers!!

dolores said...

N-I-C-E!:) Yep...and my therapy is reading your blog!;)

I think having these blogs makes us more creative because we sooooo want to share with others...don't you think?:)

Sara said...

I would have to say - that pretty much describes you and your blog! That's why I keep coming back!

Michelle said...

It is...here's to the new year!!!

Marylh said...

Thimbleanna said...

It's perfect. :) What a great idea to clarify your purpose in blogging. :)

Natalia from Piece N Quilt said...

Very cute! It totally reminds me of your color wheels! :)

Becky J. said...

it is such a great idea to have a mission statement. Something that is said outloud and will guide you when things get off course. It is great! i think i need to get me one of those too.

Mindy said...

Sounds like a great mission and one you achieve with great success!

Julie @ Jaybird Quilts said...

say it proud!!..saying it helps make you believe it... which helps make it happen!

TheaMinPA said...

LOVE that tray! it is SO YOU!!!
I think a weekly blog is much more realistic than a daily blog - and I enjoy yours!

rosie/the fabric shopper said...

Love your mission statement! Sounds right on point. Tara is such as inspiration! Fresh perspectives are always a needed zing in the pants ;-0

V and Co. said...

yes very you. ;)

WendyB said...

Nice Vision Statement. I just did a similar exercise from the Problogger - 31 Days to a Better Blog program. Your blog is really easy to read and enjoy - light - airy - colorful - with good ideas! (love that rainbow tray BTW)
Best, WendyB @ThatSeamsFun.com

Amy Seven-Stitches said...

No Way! I just checked out problogger for my first time following your link. I suspected that there might blogs about blogs, but a blog about blogs about blogs is almost too postmodern for me.

wishes, true and kind said...

Love your mission statement, and I see a quilt in that tray!
