Oh my goodness, Becky, that is a nice giveaway. Congrats on the 200-plus Followers and the posts, too.
ReplyDeleteWell, let's see. The part of your blog that I like best is when you share your unique sense of humor. It's always nice to come away with a smile. Take care and have a wonderful week. Don't forget to put my name in the hat! Susan

I like this blog because it is fun and uplifting! It is written by an author who must be so much fun to be around, who must be like sunshine because the blog itself radiates brightness!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 200, Becky!!!
Congrats!!! I think the giveaway is wonderful so I'm in! I do have a hard time separating your blog from you since it's your voice...so I guess I love your humor and your view of things. I love how you share your passion and frustrations about writing. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI am constantly impressed by your upbeat posts...you are definitely not a whiner!
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful blog. Just found my way over here and just became a follower. I've been reading back a ways and feel like I've spent time with a friend.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 200 followers! I love the quote :)
ReplyDeleteBecky--One of the many things I like about your blog is your use of quotes.
ReplyDeleteOh, Becky, congrats on over 200 followers, that's wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd 500 posts, wow (I haven't even hit 400 on my own blog and I have it since 2008) :)
I love so many things about you and your blog. But since you said I should tell you about the blog, here goes: the new theme, to have a visual like and especially the content! Because I just Love your writing :)
*hugs*
Wow, that's a great giveaway! Congrats on 200!
ReplyDeleteI love your daily quotes and you always make me chuckle.
Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations on all of your followers. That is a huge prize package that you are offering the winner. I love the ME stuff.
I like how your blog is positive and encouraging. I really appreciate the writing resources and when you tell us what is happening with your writers groups and talk to the speakers.
I like how you have your published work on the sidebar so that we can celebrate your success. I also like reading about your family.
Your blog is very real and down to earth.
Keep up the great work!
Kathy M.
It's impossible to say why I like your blog without saying that I really like YOU. YOU are your blog, in that it reflects your lovely personality. If your blog was written by an angry, bitter grouch, that would come through in your writing...and I would certainly not be drawn to it.
ReplyDeleteSo, you, sweet Becky, ARE the reason I visit your blog. But I also really love the awesome quotes you regularly post.
Have a wonderfuly day.
Love,
Patti
Congratulations on the reaching those milestones! And you know how much I luv ya. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your many posts and loyal followers.
ReplyDeleteI love your giveaway. And that's one of the things I like about your blog. It's diverse. It includes self revealing posts about the author, it gives great information about writing and places in which to learn and possibly publish, it lifts my spirits and every so often it gives away great stuff. I love it.
Congrats Becky! If I should be lucky enough to be the winner, draw another person's name because, well, I want someone else to have it! :-) You are such a fun loving person!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, but why would you Thank a Teacher's Behind? Sorry, butt the humor blogger in me couldn't resist. Congrats on reaching 200 followers.

Congratulations on your milestones, Becky. I like the quotes you put at the end of your posts and the cheery point of view you always project here. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway and congratulations on reaching this milestone. I don't often leave a comment but I do enjoy your blog. I like the humor and honesty with which you write. I can always find something interesting and entertaining when I come visit. I especially like the title "Bliss Follower."
ReplyDeleteFirst, congrats on making it to 500 posts AND 200 followers! Both big achievements!
ReplyDeleteSecond, what do I love about your blog? I love that it just feels so calm here. Your layout isn't crazy and overwhelming and your posts aren't all over the place. I appreciate that.
Much better. Also, I love you're inspirational titles. Dreams do come true!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about your blog is it is upbeat and REAL!
I can really relate to your posts as if I had you here sharing a cup of tea.
I love that about your blog.
*hugs*

Becky - What's NOT to love about your blog? There are wonderfully inspiring quotes. Cute photos of Vern, Tiger Girl, and teacups.
ReplyDeleteGreat music. Most of all there are your funny, honest and candid comments. You show genuine care for your followers, giving links and info we can use. You even trusted us with your book's first sentence. Thanks! And Congratulations!!

Hi there. I found you through Writing Straight from the Heart. What a lovely giveaway! I am a teacher, so I am not sure if I would let my daughter give the cute little bag to her teacher, or keep it for myself... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have been looking through your blog and am really enjoying all of the little quotes. The Maxine one is priceless.
Congratulations on your writing success!
*jumps up and down* OO OO OOO I heart Mary Engelbreit!!!
ReplyDeleteNew here! Cool giveaways! One day I hope to reach 200 followers!! Congrats!

ReplyDeleteAs far as what I like about your blog, I love that it inspires me each time I visit. I really enjoy the quotes you include at the end of each post, they are always wonderful.
Congrats on the 200 followers, and thanks again!
Congratulations Becky!! I left a long post about all the great stuff on your blog, but it apparently blew away in the Blogger cyber-wind. You know I love the blog and think you're great. Keep it up!

My comment is one of the ones that went kerflewie! I'm sure I must have offered congratulations and said what a sweetie-pie you are. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still having trouble with Blogger. I posted a reply comment on my own blog last night. It was there when I logged out, gone this morning. I don't know what kind of an upgrade they made, but it isn't working!
Becky, your blog is like a box of chocolates--I never know what I'm gonna get (but I know I'm gonna like it!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 200! Onward and upward!
Your momentum is growing, I'm follower 209 I think. Great progress and love your blog!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the followers! Go Becky!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on hitting 200! That's fantastic! Hopefully today is a lucky day for me as it is my daughter's birthday (#10), my brother's birthday (#42), AND my sister's birthday (#classified).
ReplyDeleteHello Becky - congrats on 200 followers. What I like about your blog are your quotes. I'm not a writer so some things are over my head - lol - but from the quotes you put on your blog - I think our hearts and minds thing a lot alike!
