Hi Stacey,

I have become a regular reader by having your blog in my Google reader. I love seeing your posts about crafts and home decorating. I also like how you post a lot of pictures instead of just writing about everything. No thoughts come to mind about what to change...it's already great!

I just ran across your blog from Shell in your pocket, your title "Survey" piqued my attention. Anyhow, I scrolled through your blog and I love it. I am going to add it to my blogroll. I am really inspired by woman who are trying to make their house a home and take pride in their role as a homemaker and keeper of the family.

Hello. Yes, I am a regular reader. Your blog is wonderful as is. From decorating, crafts, kids,....etc... that is why I read. Also, you are such a doll too. Thanks for the gardening advice about the mint. I knew that, but kinda forgot. Thanks so much!!! Leslie

Hi - I do read your blog regularly! I love getting inspiration for home decoration. You always have such great ideas!

Shanda said...

Hi Stacey! I am a mostly regular reader! ;) I occasionally get behind in reading; but I do read you often.

I absolutely love the easy decorating and projects (no sew, etc.) that you post. You often make me feel like I can do projects even though I am not a terribly crafty person.

I also love the sweet pictures of your girls (love the matching outfits!) They are adorable.

But most of all; I think I am just drawn by the person that you are-sweet, genuine, and loving.

Hi--yes, I'm a regular reader...and I too love what you've been doing. I might just be a sentimental fool but I dread changes...I love your current colors and blog design...I love your current content...the name of the blog...So many bloggers are going to their own domains or to the "big time" and are losing what made them great to start with...please take that thought into consideration regarding whatever lies ahead...for those of us who love it the way it is...thanks!

Hey there!
Yes, I'm a regular reader.

I read your blog because I love your ideas and we share common interests, decorating, family, etc.

You don't bore at all. Although I do admit I would like to see more pictures on some posts.

I'm mostly here for the decorating, saving money and gardening posts.

Love your layout!

I can't think of anything else to add. I am definitely guilty of some days reading and not commenting. I need to improve on that myself but a lot of days I'm blogging with a child and/or puppy on my lap and it's hard to type. That is when I'm usually just a reader.

Hi, Stacey! I am a regular reader/follower. :) I love your blog, especially when you write about decorating or crafty things with pictures...we all love pictures! :) I'm not usually a fan of colored fonts in posts...some screens make it hard to read. I like the layout of your blog-very easy to follow and not too busy. I do try to comment when I read b/c I know how much it means to me when people comment on my posts. :) Good luck with whatever you're planning! :)

I like the posts about fun projects and inspirational things!

Wendy said...

Hi Stacey,
I'm a regular reader. I love everything about your blog. I love when you post about decorating. Sorry, can't remember the other questions.

One thing I could do with out, no more pictures of your finger that you sewed. YIKES!!!! That thing still gives me chills. I think about you everytime I use the sewing machine.

Wendy

P.S. Just kidding about the finger picture. Post all that you want. Hope your finger is doing better.

Sit A Spell said...

You have a nice blog...relaxed and comfortable, if ya will. I can tell you are a kind person who loves family and home. Let's not forget gardening! These are common threads between us...so I visit. Tips are always fun to read about...things you've learned and want to pass on.

I agree on hard fonts to read...greens hard be tough at times. I speed read wordy blogs and at times skip them. I love seeing photos.

The Dearborns said...

I am a regular reader, and I love, love, love The Blessed Nest! :) I think the blog design is amazing, and my favorites are home decorating and craft posts. Keep up the good work! :) *two thumbs way up* ;)

Anne Marie said...

Your posts are clear, to the point, have a picture and are pretty much consistent to your blog name "blessed nest" - making all things nest like -
homey
comfy
crafty
and on a budget -
:)
hope that helps!

Hi, Stacey,
I just found your blog as I was looking for nesty ideas for my cloche. I think your blog is cool, I love the look and what you've been sharing and writing about have been great.

The Masked Mommy said...

Ok, ok! I popped out of my reader today just for you! ;-) Yes, I always read. I like your blog design a lot! (I don't see it in Google reader). I love inspirational posts and decorating ideas. I'm not a gardener. I love crafts and lots of pictures on blogs because I don't always have time to read every word, but I see all the pics. I also love money saving ideas.

Cheryl said...

Hi Stacey!
I recently became a regular reader and have you on my blogroll now. So, I now am a regular reader.
I love your layout, but agree with some folks that some colors are harder to read than others like the green.
I love your decorating posts, crafting, gardening and inspirational. I also like your posts on family and hospitality, organizing and just generally how we can be "keepers of our blessed nest" too. Don't change a thing.

Liz Harrell said...

Hi Stacey! I check in often, and love your blog! I think what I love most about your blog is that you're genuine. When someone blogs about the things that they truly love and are interested in, it comes across to the reader. Just keep on doing what you're doing!

Hi, I'm a regular reader, I drop by almost every day to see if there is something new. Suggestions: Love decorating and remodeling, thrifting or junking, creating a welcoming home. I like your layout but sometimes find it difficult to read the light aqua or light coloured text.I really like your writing style and that you are family-oriented. Love your blog and wish you well with your decisions.

Of course, the darling pictures of your family are great too.I enjoy the "low cost" approaches the most. In this recession, every little bit helps!

I found your blog a couple of months ago and read it regularly. I am not much of a blogger myself but I love reading others, especially on all topics of home decorating and cheap and easy ideas I could use myself.

Hi Stacey! Yes, I am definately a regular reader of your blog! I was drawn to your blog for your decorating style and advice. I love to see frugal decorating ideas (or any decorating ideas for that matter), crafty projects, recipes.

Your posts definately inspire me, never bore me! I don't know what you have planned for the future of your blog, but in my opinion, keep up the good work!
