So, admit it - I read a lot of blogs... and I don't comment. In fact, it is quite rare that I do leave a comment. Life gets so busy, I just read, become inspired, or browse in my google reader and run onto the next blog.
I need to stop that.
People write in blogs for a reason right? Sure they do.. they want you to read it.and comment.
Be honest - those of you who are reading this, who do blog know how it feels when someone comments on your blog. It doesn't even have to be someone you know. In fact, it feels pretty damn good, when someone you don't know leaves you a little bit of love :)
So, I am taking a stand now - I am going to give it my all to comment when I read. It may not be a chapter of a book.. but just a note to the blogger to say - hey, I was here and you are awesome.
What's the worst that can happen -someone's day might be just that much brighter?
Oh, and I will officially follow a lot of those blogs out there that I read or discover along the way. Again, you know it is awesome when your followers go up :)
Who's with me? Start now.. drop me a line and say HI!

Hi back atcha! Me too. I don't often comment, and I'm sure some think I only do that when candy is involved, but that's not true. I just get lazy. I have well over 1,000 blogs that I try to follow, and it's time consuming to write, and I hate to write just "nice card" or something and no more. But I may give it a try! I guess I do like reading comments on my blog, so I should make the effort! Whew!
hi there! You're awesome!
I am so with you there!! For example, I have followed you for a LONG time...and I *might* have commented like 4 times ( including this one) I like your stand, and I vow to take it with you! I LOVE when I get a little feedback from other crafters...I guess I never really stopped to think that the, in my opinion, super stars of scrapbooking that I follow would feel the same! Thanks for inspiring me to share the love!! :)
hi! i read your blog...and i rarely comment (insert ashamed face), but maybe i should try to comment more as well!
Hey Nic,
I try to leave a note on the blogs I follow atleast once a week, Im new to this blog thing but i am so going to try comment more :)
Thanks for the kick in the pants.
hee hee. You're a changed woman! Love it. Didn't see you email on your blog, so I'm leaving you a msg here. Thanks for the comment btw. Have I mentioned I was tickled pink when I saw you became a follower? Anyways about Sharon's crops, you bet I go, I've only ever missed one in 2 years. I love that woman with all my heart! I never even thought to ask you if you were going in Oct. Are you? Sign up is on Thursday morning. I go with several other women, we always have a blast. Way more talking than scrapping, but oh so much fun. A basket with alphas and paper? Humm...I don't think so. You should shoot me an email sherrifunk@gmail.com it'd be cool to connect there...look I wrote a novel for you :)
Stopping in just because you asked so nice to tell you you are awesome! :)
I always read your blog! just because I love your work.
Hi Nicole! you're AWESOME!
I'm with ya..I love to read/follow/comment..so many great blogs out there :) Yours included missy!!!
Great idea Nic...I too follow and read LOTS of blogs but rarely comment. Will try to make a change...BTW...you are awesome!!
Well said! I'll try to comment more often :-)
You're awesome Nic xxoo
Hi Nicole, it's all true!
It is so nice to connect with people all over the world and know how they fell...
I'll take that dare! I can't quite remember when I started following your blog - it may have been something to do with Creative Scrappers - but anyway I have followed it for a while and I don't think I've ever commented. So I just wanted to say hi and love your work :).
Hey there!! I love your blog!! & I agree with you! I try and make a comment when I find things or come across something great, but not always! It is nice to be noticed that someone else is following your blog! Enjoy the day!!
Count me in! Of course, I follow aka stalk my fav bloggers/crafters blogs but I try to also leave a little love on less known blogs especially when I'm participating in a challenge I try to visit the other participant blogs and leave them some happy words! I know I smile when someone leaves a comment on my blog so the least I can do is pay it forward! Thanks for this post...off to comment... :)
coming over from Nook to say congrats !
thanks for commenting! what a great idea to make a better goal to do it.
I couldn't agree with you more, Nicole! Thanks for leaving me some love...here's some for you **mwah** :) HAPPY BLOGGIN! (my word verification is holywako LOL)
I think a lot of us are in the same boat, Nicole *lol* So I'm leaving you a comment even if I have done it earlier this week *lol*
Congrats on making the Fav 40 list over at MyScrapbooknook. No surprise they picked you as your creations are just lovely!!! And good luck on making the final round :-)
I'm guilty too. I follow alot of blogs and don't always leave comments.
Well I've always loved your blog and have commented,but you are absolutely right,there are so many that I don't comment on and now I will.
Yep. I'm one of those. Have been here many times, and said nothing. :) But just so you know - you're awesome! Love your work! :)
I've followed you since we were on Couture Cardstock together! ;) I try to always comment when I visit peeps. I know that I appreciate the love, so it's always great to return it! :)
Congrats on making the top 40 at the Nook... although I was not surprised one bit to see your name!
Yep...I'm guilty of the same thing!
..anyway 'hello'!!..and let me just say your layouts are gorgeous! Cheers, Gina - from the Nook :)
I have had my blog for a while now but life has kept me from posting as often as I want to, consequently I do not get regular visitors..I am working on that since I joined the world of blog hoppers!! lol
I will admit that my spirit sinks a bit when I check a post of mine and I see no one has commented. Like you said..it doesn't have to be a chapter..just a note to help validate that persons feelings on what they are trying to do. Thanks for your post asking others to be more thoughtful if only by a sentence or two..:)
Well... I try to leave comments because I love reading when I get them... I agree they don't have to be long... Even GREAT JOB is good to know, and it gives a sense that we took the time to look !
Love reading your blog and am always happy when you share good scrappy news. Good luck in trying to add little comments, that's sweet.
hello bestie:)
