Creating a community on blogs

My husband and I have talked at length lately about how different life has become. How communities aren't what they use to be. But I've started to realize that community has just changed. I know there are small towns in this country that have held tight to their community. Where everyone knows their neighbors and how those in the community support each other...whether with a casserole when someone is ill or help when a family falls on hard times. Unfortunately, in many other areas we've moved so far away from "community" that we've lost track of who we live by or who buys from us.

And then today I was reading Gussy's blog and she had a post about creating a community through our blogs and that's when I realized how much we've changed. Even though community may have changed in the physical world around us...that doesn't mean we have to live isolated...NO!...we can reach out to others who are like us...who understand the difficulities we're experiencing or who enjoy the same things we do...and they don't have to live in your town. Community has gone global!

I was thrilled to participate in Gussy's community building efforts and felt I should extend it to my followers as well. So I want to share the four questions she posted and have you all comment with your answers. It'll give you all a chance to connect with others...ultimately growing your "online" community.

Comment with your answers to the following questions:

1. What is your name and blog/shop URL?
2. What is your blog or shop about?
3. Share something fun about yourself?
4. What is something that's a favorite?

Here are my answers.....

1. what is your name and blog/shop URL? http://www.hipchickscrafttoo.blogspot.com/
2. what is your blog or shop about? It's where I share my love of all things creative. Where I share free tutorials and share latest techniques. It's where I go to share all my creative energy.

3. share something fun about yourself? I've written 10 novels...no, I've not sent them to any publishers...yet.

4. what is something that’s a “favorite”? The beach on a sunny day. I would do or give up anything to spend the day at the beach.


I'm super excited to learn more about you all!!
