I just want to say that I'm sorry that so many just threw up their link without really reading your post. How frustrating! I love blogging for the chance to get connected with others. That's why I do it and will continue to do it. Sorry that you had to experience that - but ya know what, your linky party is my favorite! :) I've said it b4 and I'll say it again, I find the best projects through it! Hope you have a great weekend!

Thank you so much for the linky love...Hey, chica. <br /><br />Thank you so much for the linky love! I always read your posts too!!<br /><br />It also really really bums me out at how frantic people are becoming over these blog parties. I always read the post before linking up so that something like that doesn't happen. OR at least link up and then come back and read what the hostess has to say. It's just common courtesy. <br /><br />I've had to resort to (nicely) asking people who link up to my monthly parties to leave me a comment...even if it's just one with their link. And I still only get a handful. Mostly from blogging friends who just want to be encouraging.Amanda @ Serenity Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483017563206007698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126431142760637074.post-46376119691221498742010-05-16T06:11:34.434-04:002010-05-16T06:11:34.434-04:00Further to all the above: HANG IN THERE, and keep ...Further to all the above: HANG IN THERE, and keep the consistency going.<br /><br />Things are not always what they seem, and it seems that your interpretation of what people do/did is not all of the story.<br /><br />Let's face it, the creative community is a visual crowd. We love pretty things and pretty pictures. <br /><br /><br />So, if you want to be read, rather than looked at only: visuals in the story will make all the difference.

I am so sorry. I understand why you are upset and I apologize for being one of the people who caused it. I have seen other parties where you link and then comment things like what do you keep in your purse that you can't live without. I think I need to slow down and read better. I hope you have a nice weekend.Tracy's Trinkets and Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809568215223079621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126431142760637074.post-41435608587169434972010-05-14T15:56:38.533-04:002010-05-14T15:56:38.533-04:00Hi Rachelle, I totally get where you are coming fr...Hi Rachelle, I totally get where you are coming from. I did read the post, and didn't link up a craft, but I also didn't link up a Disney memory. Anyway... I am glad you stuck up for yourself here. I have those moments, too, where I check my e-mail and think--why isn't anyone commenting?! I worked so hard!! I agree: The connections is what it's all about. I love your blog and have loved being jealous of your Disney adventures.

I wanted you to know that I read you...Hi Rachelle,<br /><br />I wanted you to know that I read your post last week. It was so sweet and brought back great memories about the first time we went to Disneyland as a family. Then when I saw that the party was all about a favorite memory I knew I didn't have write in the way I would really want to. Our first Disney trip needed more time and thought. As much as I wanted to participate, I just didn't have the time. <br /><br />So, I wanted you to know that I read your post, loved it, and was inspired to think about writing my own "memories" post on my blog. Being the rule-bound kindergarten teacher that I am, I skipped linking last week because I didn't have a memories post prepared ahead of time. <br /><br />This is getting rather lengthy, but I wanted you to know that your writing is beautiful, your posts are inspiring, and I hope you know that your audience appreciates you.<br /><br />BeccaBecca Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848398486925857953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126431142760637074.post-15696346206618692672010-05-14T12:46:33.806-04:002010-05-14T12:46:33.806-04:00I'm going to Disney in a few weeks...in the ca...I'm going to Disney in a few weeks...in the car too..i will be feeling your pain. lol It's been ages since i've linked up anywhere (this week was the first in awhile) and I'm definitely going to read more.
