  • I'm glad to finally have a gentle kick in my behind to visit your site; it's clean, cool, refreshing. You've clearly spelled out "who" you are, making it easy for your readers to get to know you. Well done :).

    Love your creativity, generosity and talent. All are obvious!

    Thanks for your visit to my spot, too!
  • What an amazing, well-thought out comment... thank you for taking the time to connect and share what connects with you. That just thrills my heart.

    Hope you're enjoying the UBP10... I've got so much more blog-hopping to do it's ridiculous. Maybe I should just pull an all-nighter, juice up on Starbucks and hit the entire list. What do you think? Do you know how many blogs you've been able to visit so far?
  • It is nice to meet you. You have a lovely site.

    I'm visiting from the UBparty.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
  • Amy
    Following now. Looking forward to reading your tips.

    Have a great party week!
  • Hi there! Just stopping by to say hello!

    Feel free to swing by my party at Kristie's List (#149 on the party linky)!
    I post lots of freebies and deals and no junk!
  • MutheringHeights
    Hi there!!! This is my fist visit here, and your site sounds so inspiring! :)

    Happy partying!
  • I'm intrigued! Adding you to my reader so I can explore some more :-) Hope you're enjoying the party.
  • Thanks for adding me to your reader... that's such a compliment!
  • I'd love to get my old self back... not sure it'll happen for another 18 years, but this may be a good place to start ;) I can't wait to look around more. Feel free to come by FTSN for a slice of peanut butter pie when you have time!

  • Well, maybe instead of getting your old self back, you could create a new self that is even better than the old... importing all the good and leaving behind the rest? Just a thought. :-) Oh, and that peanut butter pie sounds divine!
  • What great vision for your site! Look forward to seeing you around!
  • Very neat blog! Hope you enjoy the party! Come crash mine!

  • Hello from UBP! Great that you have such a unique take on photography... I've fallen in love with my camera all over again this year, due in large part to blogging. YEAH!

    Hope you have a wonderful day!
  • That's fantastic! I love that blogging has led you to fall in love with your camera again. It's amazing how the immediacy of a blog and instant ability for feedback can transform your images. What's your favorite subject to shoot?
  • What I love most about your blog is the normalcy behind your writing. I don't feel preached or dictated to and it's a welcome reprieve. I would be most appreciative if you did stop by my blog, "Off the Avenue, Against the Grain" http://offtheavenue.blogspot.com/index.html

    Take care!
  • Normalcy... well you may be the first person to actually say I'm normal! Perhaps you need to get to know me better :-) I'm most definitely glad you don't feel preached to because that is the farthest thing from how I feel or what I want to convey.
  • Hi, I come for Ultimate Blog Party 2010. Nice to meet you and I hope you have time to visit mine as well, in HERE. Have a great weekend.
  • Thanks Juliana! Hope you had a great party! I know I did!
  • Please come to my house and organize me. I will hook you up with a Starbucks. Or no, I won't depending where you are on your addiction journey. And we are an Apple family so you might see your design everywhere. And when I was a kid I did print work and acting. And I did print work for Apple. So we have all kinds of crazy connectedness. Come stop by my fake/virtual/bloggy post. It's way too long (according to my husband) so skim if you must!
  • You are too funny! I'm currently off the wagon when it comes to Starbucks, so yes I will certainly come to your house to organize you in exchange for feeding my addiction. :-) So cool that you did print work for Apple... we truly have all kinds of connections. Can't wait to stop by your post.... and will probably take your husband's advice and skim. :-)

    Hi, Tasra. It was great to just meet you on Twitter. Happy UBP10 to you! ( I'm at http://thriftyjinxy.blogspot.com/ if you want to stop by.)
  • So great to meet you on Twitter too! Such fun to join the UBP10... will definitely stop by your blog and check it out as well!
  • nancyb05
    I love your blog an have slowly but surely been getting my 365 days up. Day 19!!
  • Woohoo! Congrats on your progress on the challenge. That is fantastic. Hang in there in the beginning... takes a while to form the habit, but once you've got it formed, you'll never want to stop!
  • Always a pleasure stopping by. I do so enjoy the photos you post on Facebook. I wish there had been an awesome photographer in my life when I was in high school.
  • You and me both my friend... you and me both. I do have some fun ones my girl friend and I shot of each other trying to be models... wish I could find them. They're all black and white and pretty darn funny. We certainly tried.
  • brianpalmer
    All of that in under a minute! Fun post Tasra!
  • Isn't it amazing how much we can do or read in such a short time. When I put those times there I actually tested it out and was amazed at how quickly it went. Thanks for stopping by and giving me a minute of your time! :-)
  • Just stopping by to say hi. I don't really have a great comment or anything, just thought I'd let you know I read your blog daily. Keep up the good work.
  • Just telling me you read my blog daily is a high compliment and one I appreciate VERY much! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to let me know.
  • dijea
    I love what you do! And you my dear inspire me everyday to be the best I can be everyday. Sometimes that means re-inventing myself.
  • Thank YOU! It's been so fun getting to know you via twitter, the blog and our photo challenge. Your images and ideas are always interesting and seeing your progress is inspiring!
  • How cool! I have been following you for a few weeks now and I really appreciate your inspiration for working harder on my 365 project. I started my project on January 1, it has been tough, but I am determined to stick with it.
  • Thanks for following and congrats on continuing with your project 365. You're well into the project now... I'd love to hear how the journey has been for you so far!
  • Thanks for being such a wonderful inspiration to me and to all that follow you!
  • Thanks for your kind comment Nancy! I always love seeing your profile pic and comments.
