Welcome to my very first international blogging event! I'm just truly so very excited to be hosting this "party" and to have so many of you participate. As of this posting there are almost 400 blogs here -- all for the purpose of meeting new people and "growing" their blogs!
For those of you who do not know me~~
I'm a yarn obsessed knitter of "nests". I'm passionate about beautiful yarns and I love to "play" and create with them. My blog is about my knitting creations~ my knitted nests and also my various knitting projects. My husband and I love to travel -- so I also share photos and stories of our travels with my readers.

My blogging family means the world to me. Those of you who take the time to comment here~ are truly precious,and I try -- although I'm not always timely -- to visit your blogs in return.
~~~~~
This Blogging event is my gift to all of you. Blogging has truly changed my life and opened up a whole new world of opportunity for me. I've made cherished friends all over the world and have learned so much from all of you about SO many things. I am truly a better person for having met all of you and for participating in the blogging world. I want you all to have these same experiences - to make new friends -- have new opportunities -- and to have a reason and desire to "grow your blogs".
Please enjoy your visits with the many blogs listed below. This list will not go away - this post will remain active and I will have a link on my sidebar to this particular post. So - there is no great rush -- you have - basically "forever" to make your visits and make new friends. Please note -- all contests will close on February 1 - and the winners will be announced then. You can find my giveaway at the end of this post~
I will be visiting all of your blogs so that I can get to know you and learn why you love blogging. With almost 400 blogs here - it is obviously going to take me a little while. But I promise -- I will be there sooner ~~ or later! Thank you all for particpating - I can't wait to meet you! xoxo
***UPDATE 1/23--- we began this party with over 400 blogs - but after 3 days I deleted those blogs who clearly were not intending to participate -- those that did not do a special post for the party and those that had not posted in days -- and those that were not participating but were misusing this opportunity for their own purposes (!!). I want this to be fair to everyone -- so those that are here now are here because they want to grow and to meet new readers and followers. Enjoy!! xoxo~

Thankyou for hosting this bloghop Vicki - I don't think the butterbombs will make it all the way to the UK so if I win - I would like you to have them and eat them for me! You deserve a treat. Already I have been visiting and visited and have found some lovely people. It will take weeks to work through all these blogs - fabulous!

Dear Vicki,
tried to email you but your link won't work. I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to attend the party after all. I came down with intestinal flu and I've been so out of it that I couldn't prepare my post. I am so glad I got to meet you. Thank you.
~Clara
Dear Vicki - Not sure if my last comment went through due to tech difficulties but I want you to know that I am so thankful that you hosted this blog party and I'm having a great time with the blog hop! Of course I am now following you :) I love, love, love your bird's nests. Hugs to you, Patti
Hi all. My name is Sue from the UK. Very new to this blogging thing. But determined to master the in's and out's of blogging. Was introduced to this event by my very dear friend Cheryl whom met whilst playing WWF. I guess in "In the Old Days" we would be called pen pals.
40 blogs down - 360 to go - YOU ROCK, SO HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Sunday, dear Vicki! XOXOXO
Thank you so much for this event. I've already added new followers to my blog and found some wonderful new ones to follow myself!
Cathy

Vicki, I don't know how you took this on, along with everything else you do. I know for sure it involved hours and hours and hours of work. I'm only through the C's on the first list -- so many more to visit. You truly are a amazing! Blessings and best wishes, Tammy

It has been fun looking at some of the blogs. I love seeing what people are making!

Hi: I am a very proud owner of one of your nests..It sits on a shelf where I can see it every day...you are such a dear!!
I found you through the "What Happens at Grandma's" blog, which I found through the 4th Let's Get Social Sunday link-up! So I think that makes us like 2nd bloggy cousins or once-removed or something like that.
Thank you so much for hosting an international event like this. I recently started following some blogs in languages other than my first, and between what I know and online translation, it's really not so difficult!
And thank you for being a neo-natal nurse. My daughter was born 8 wks early at 3 lbs .4 oz and the care she received in the NICU for her 3 weeks there was AWESOME! Her 10th birthday is in about 2 weeks.
Sorry this comment is so long, but when my husband was trying to explain how little our girl was to his father, he said, "Dad, if she was a carp, you'd have to throw her back!"
Hi Vicki, I may have already left you a message to thank you for such a fabulous idea having this blog party! The work you put into it has been a very good deed indeed...OK, I've been on the Internet to long now... LOL! I am on my second full day happily hopping from blog to blog and I have lots of new friends for which I have to thank you for!
Hugs,

Thank you for all your work on this special party! I know it must have been a lot of work, hours upon hours. I have had the best time and met a lot of new bloggers...one lives a few miles from me! Thank you again!
BTW...I've been a follower for quite a while and wanted to let you know again, I love your work too. Your nests are absolutely gorgeous!!
Vicki! Just look at the people that you're bringing together through your wonderful blog. Excellent job and you have really made my heart smile. You're a lovely lady Vicki. Thank you so much.

Well I'm putting on my glad rags and I'm off to party...yeeha! Bring it on....

Hi: I just found your blog and look forward to getting to know you. Blessings, Martha
I just found your link through the blog party. I love your pink scarf project , I have a sister who is battling cancer. My niece is a cancer specialist and I am going to share your idea with her, she ia also a photographer and has special shoots with the ladies that are battling cancer. The ladies may not have their hair but their beauty,strength and courage shines forth . I'm thinking she needs to include a pink scarf in her photo shoots. Thanks for caring!
Oh Vicki,
this is just amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this fantastic party and for all the work you've done to make that happen. I've had (and still have)so much fun, read moving stories, see incredible photos- and found some new friends from all over this gaya place :-)

Wow this is huge.
I found you on YaYa's blog and I am glad that I did. I am amazed by the simple fact that you knit bird's nest. This must be awesome. What a service for nature:)
Hi Vicki,
I'm making the rounds slowly but surely. :0) Thanks so much for visiting me. You have done a fabulous job pulling together all of us. I know what a task it is to enter so many links!
Please enter me for your giveaway!
Have a wonderful day,
Steph ♥
I must say, when you do something...you do it first class! The amount of time and effort that you have gone to, for this event, WOW!
I think you must be hiding your super hero cape from us somewhere....maybe in one of those nests of yours.
Vicki, thank you, I am proud to call you my friend!

Hi Vicki,
I have made it through the first grouping of blogs. Thank you for organizing this awesome Blog party. Please know that you are so appreciated.
Thank you so very much for including me in this wonderful 'Grow Your Blog' party. BRILLIANT idea, and ya know, I've already had several hits from it. I plan to visit many, if not all, of those listed. THANKS AGAIN.

Ada http://ada-countrylife.blogspot.com
Thank you so much for including me in the list! I can imagine how many hours and hours (and hours and hours) of work that was!
And I have to confess I never posted my own blog party post... I did not forget about it, even had the date when I meant to write that special post put in my diary, but I had a house guest for four days over that same weekend. It seemed so impolite to leave him to his own devices while I would retreat to my computer, so that post was never written.
Can I still sign up to be included in your giveaway?
My email address is destinyauthor@googlemail.com.
Momentous task, well done. I'm from South Africa. I don't expect the cookies (being where I am) but am honoured to be able to join.

I just had to swing around again to your comment section to say thank you, again.
I am only half way through the list and I have found some absolutely wonderful blogs. For me increasing my readers list is second. Increasing my new blog reading list is first! And this blogfest has offered so many possibilities ... folks with similar tastes and interests.
Truly, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Wow, that is an amazing amount of blogs for us to visit! I only just heard about this so couldn't enter mine... not to worry, I'll have LOTS of fun visiting others! lv, Joy xxx
Eventually I will visit all these wonderful blogs. Vicki, you have a heart of gold and I just hope all of these bloggers know that and appreciate you as much as I do. When I see how many comments have been left so far, I am just amazed. Way to go, girl! I love you.
kosec@sbcglobal.net
Wow! What a list! The next snow storm we have will be designated the day to blog hop through your list. Oh the adventures that await me! Thanks for all the hard work.
Vicki,
This Grow Your Blog party is so awesome! I know you did an amazing amount of work pulling this together. Just going through the list of bloggers and visiting takes a lot of time, so I can't even imagine how much time you invested. I just want you to know your efforts are very much appreciated. This is a perfect venue for me. I have already met quite a few new blogging friends.
Blessings,
Fay
Vicki,
First of all, a BIG thanks for your lovely and most welcome email. It was such a surprise that you offered to include me in your blog event even though I would have been late. That was so very much appreciated, yet I didn't have enough time to write the post with which I would have been happy. Anyway, since your event is such a success, odds are good that it will be repeated (hint, hint). So next time I would love to participate.
It's obvious that you put not only a lot of time into the organization, but also a lot of heart and soul. Thanks for that -- you rock!
I am looking forward to visiting your blog in future -- and once again kudos to you.
Hugs,
your new friend from Munich, Germany,
Birgit
I don't really know how many followers I have, a lot I think, but I'm having a good time meeting all the bloggers you are party-ing with.
What a fun chance to check out so many creative blogs! Thanks for putting this huge event together!

Thanks you for organising and hosting the event, Vicki, and thanks for your friend too!
I just herd about this from Sherry at No Minimalist Here, but I guess I am too late. Maybe you will do this again. I am VERY computer illerate but LOVE blogging, just don't know how to make it grow and even how to do things to change the look, etc. XO, Pinky
Liebe Vicki,
was für eine zauberhafte Idee und was für ein zauberhaftes Foto hast du von dir eingestellt, wie eine englische Lady vor ihrem Cottage schaust du aus, bezaubernd. Die Blog Party habe ich leider verpaßt, aber aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben. Dafür habe ich aber schon angefangen an meinem Beitrag zu deinem Pink Scarf Project zu arbeiten, es sieht so aus, als würde es ein ganz besonderer Schal für eine ganz besondere Dame.
Alles Liebe schickt dir die Babsi
Hi Vicky!
Very nice to meet you!
Count me in for your giveaway.
Thanks for the party and the opportunity of being part of it!
xoxo
I had some unexpected events at the beginning of January and didn't get to participate. I'm disappointed about that but it's going to be fun to visit all the participating bloggers.
The cookies look like they'd melt in your mouth. Thank you for taking on such a project. I'm sure so many will benefit from your efforts.
Blessings,
LesleyAnn
Mmm - those cookies look yummy, Vicki. Thanks for hosting the blog party and stopping by my blog. So far I have 7 new followers - the party is a success! :)
Vicki,
Ok, I know I already commented on how much I appreciate your putting together this event, but now that I'm working thru 400 blogs, I can see the enormity of this amazing endeavor you've taken on. Just wanted to thank you again as it has been so much fun!
Hugs to you my dear friend...
This is a wonderful blog party. I have been a little out of touch with the blogging world lately and will enjoy finding new blogs and visiting old friends.
Thanks so much my friend, I am really enjoying this "party" and it is all because of you. I've decided that you are a "kindred spirit." Hugs Carole xox
Oh my goodness Vicki! Why am I not surprised to see so many amazing comments here because you are so very much loved by so many bloggers!
Every blogger needs a leg up to start and this is a perfect platform for that.
I'm sure we are all unable to clearly expresss how much gratitude we feel for you in organizing such a huge event as this and to see how successful it has been is sooooo very much thanks to you sweet friend. I'm sure that ALL participating bloggers will gain some special rewards in meeting new friends and learning more new skills.
I for one am very proud to be your friend and thank you always for your kindness shown to me.
Much love and many warm hugs,
Suzy
Vicki,
I'm with it now and enjoying the party. I can't believe there are so many bloggers who are such talented people. It will take a long time to meet them all but I will start one at a time. Thank you for doing this for all of us. xo Jenny
Vicki, Thank you for hosting this amazing party! I'm trying to get through all the blogs but it seems almost impossible! But I'll keep at it! I'd love to be included in your give-away!

Ciao Vicki, I made a very big mistake with this your wonderful blog event...
:( I'm so sorry!

My deepen apologize Vicki...

Thank you for updating and cleaning up the list. It was a little disappointing when I started visiting blogs that had old posts, or something not intended for the Grow Your Blog party. I did not keep reading because it was taking too much time to sift thru, but I will go back now and visit the blogs. Thank you for hosting this. I have not had many new followers, but it's been nice to find new blogs. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into this party.

Hello sweet Vicki
I have just returned here and see that my comment was never published -
Oh never mind! But I did need to tell you how very grateful I am personally to you sweetie for all the huge effort you have invested in trying to encourage bloggers in growing their blog in whatever their aspirations are!
You, as I have said before, are a shining star to whom we look up to.
You are one of a kind and I am so really happy to have you in my life as a blogging friend.
Congratulations dear friend your rewards will be great and I can see they already are!
Much love,
Suzy

Hi Vicki - I just wanted to let you know I've closed my Mystic Spirit Shop blog in the list above, I just didn't have the passion for writing it...
I've just started afresh yesterday, as I do love writing and blogging and can now be found at http://gentlewanderings.blogspot.co.uk/
Just wanted to let you now so that you could take the Mysticssirtshop.blogspot.co.uk down if you wanted. No need to replace as I know that is only more work for you.
I'm going to revisit all the blogs above anyhow and say hi! Such lovely work from everyone and thank you so much for letting me participate in this event earlier in the year.
