We Bloggers
September 3, 2010
First, just thank you. Thank you so much for sharing your blog spaces this week ~ I was truly overwhelmed with the response to the blog party, nearly 300 inspirational stories, just amazing! I’ve visited most of your spaces, met a lot of new friends, and learned so much from the glimpses into your lives.
What’s the number one thing I learned from visiting all of you? More than anything, we bloggers crave two things: comfort and convenience! The kitchen island, dining room table, and family room sofa were the most popular spots where many settle in for time spent online. In this modern age of portability, so many of us now create our ‘office’ wherever we plop down. “Have laptop, will travel” was the dominant theme ~ I love that!
Who are we? We are bloggers! And overwhelmingly, most of us prefer the comfort of our couch when we go online.
We also set up sunny spots in our family room, and we like to have pictures of our loved ones around us.
We carve out spaces in our hallways, and in the main corners of our homes where we can be part of the action.
We can also be perfectly frank and keep it very real. :-)
Many create stylish personalized spaces centered around a white Parsons desk.

We love to read each other’s really cool blogs. *wink*
We connect on our family room sofas, our kitchen tables, and in our bedrooms.
We are resourceful ! We carve out nooks in closets, then pretty them up with gorgeous wallpaper.
Sense and Simplicity; I Heart Organizing
We even blog at tables we’ve built ourselves, yo.
We have stylish eclectic and collected home offices.
We blog from our porches too !
And when it comes to the end of the day, so so so many of us blog on our sofas at night while our mates watch TV.

Who are we? We are bloggers!
We are a powerful community of inventive writers, connecting online in ways previous generations never imagined.
We are wives, mothers, crafters, sewers, designers, professionals and SAHMs. We swap stories, we share our homes, we share our wishes and our dreams.
We share our decorating dilemmas, and we inspire each other with our creativity. We aren’t afraid of power tools and we harness the power of paint. We educate and we encourage.
We make each other laugh with our crazy but true tales. We tear up when we read each other’s heartfelt stories.
We are a group of creative, unique individuals who lift each other up and celebrate each and everyone’s contribution in this adventure called life.
We are bloggers. We truly are an amazing community.

This was such a fun linky party Kate! Thanks for hosting and for the recap.
I LOVED seeing where everyone blogs! And I loved the way this post really made it feel like everyone who blogs is connected in one big community. What a great feeling!
What a lovely recap of our blogging spots. I have to say I was conflicted when I saw the photo of my ”messy” closet alongside some of the gorgeous spaces you featured – flattered but blushing at the same time. It really does look a little tidier in real life as the stacks of papers are hidden behind the wall. I might add, that my husband calls me ‘excuses-unlimited’ for a reason ;) Thanks for hosting such a fun link party!
:)) , sniff.
amazing.It shows the creativity.Good work by you.And good effort from your side by putting all these here.Thanks for sharing.
I loved, loved, loved this party! It was so fun to peek inside other bloggers’ blogging spaces and get to know them a bit more. I can so relate to Eat, Drink, and Decorate:) And I was excited to see myself sitting next to Amanda (even if it is only in blogland)! Thanks so much for hosting this party Kate. Great idea.
This reads like a MLKJr. speech, almost. Love the highligts! And thank you for hosting such a fun, carefree party. The traffic I got to my blog from your party was unprecedented! So thank you thank you thank you again!
I just had to pop in and say that this was such a great and interesting party! I love seeing where creative people work whether they be bloggers, artists, or writers (the book type). I tried desperately to come to the party but missed the timing by literally 2 seconds…needless to say I was a bit bummed, but at least I got a good post out of it. I found out about it to late (through Hooked On Houses) but gave it a shot.
Your blog is fantastic and I’ve enjoyed exploring and learning from it (and you).
Best,
Jessica
I love this post and especially because you mentioned me–thanks Kate!
