Also, Jamie and a few other bloggers have been talking about the lack of comments that we get :( I get about 400 new hits a day and only get about 10-15 comments per day. So, here is what I am asking:
(the same thing as Jamie :D)
I want to do a little experiment and I need your help. =) If you're reading this right now, could you please just leave a comment and say "hi" or whatever. Introduce yourself if you've never commented. I'd love to meet you. Tell me what your favorite thing about Autumn is! It is the first day of my favorite season!!! Or tell me something that made you happy today! Or your favorite quote! Or maybe just your favorite color. Or a random fact about yourself! Anything.
I will love you forever!! Thank you friends <3

Hi, vivianna here from Polka dot robot. I love fall and I love you!
ReplyDeletehi, it's Lehua from Heart on My Sleeve & I really think you need to update your phone to have internet so you can twitter at work.
ReplyDelete<3
hi,
ReplyDeletemy name is katie and i am usually a lurker. it has nothing to do with you. it's me. i have this problem called laziness [i don't want to click through from google reader] and paisley [who only lets me be on the computer so long].
sorry.
but i'm excited about fall [because i've never experienced fall before]. my favorite quote from today is "i've got so much time and so little to do. wait... strike that. reverse it." and my favorite colors are robin's egg blue and lemon yellow.
Hello Miss Janel!
ReplyDeleteWhat I loves about Autumn, apple cider and cool nights.
xoxo
i'm melisa, from the rva autumn class. i saw your link on twitter and ended up here. :)
ReplyDeletefall is my favorite season for many reasons (of which i may blog about, haha) but one is because i'm always ready to get back to school. granted this not a possibility for much longer (i'm a sophomore in college), but still!
HI!!! Autumn = Lattes & LOVE!! =)
ReplyDeleteoooh. me love your book!
ReplyDeleteyay.
Hi Janel! My favorite things about autumn are the smells, the colors, and the coziness of sweaters, socks & blankets! <3
ReplyDeleteAnd I understand about lack of comments! Comments make me happy!
Hi - crissy here from crissybell. fav thing about autumn - i love the leaves changing... and something that made me happy today - it was 90 degrees. (my fav season is summer) :o)
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Erika and I have a wonderful 2 year old daughter that makes me notice things that I did not before. Like mommy trees are dancing!
ReplyDeleteAlso, love autumn because I like colder days with a nice cup of hot chocolate and doing some crochet or sewing some homemade toys for my family :) Have a nice day!
my name is heidi; i read your blog! and i love autumn and your style!
ReplyDeletei can't find the autumn craft kit anywhere on rva which made me really sad it's so cute!
if you did not get the planner, i recommend it, it's the best purchase i've made so cute and fun to stay organized now!!
i totally hear you on the comments thing--i always have tons of new hits, but very few comments.
ReplyDeletei love fall because of halloween, and pretty leaves, and perfect weather.
hey janel....love you and love the pages...welcoming fall with full arms
ReplyDeleteloving your fall journal!!!! it looks so cozy and wonderful!!!! i love autumn :)
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI just recently discovered your blog. I started following because you bring lots and lots of inspiration. My story is I'm a librarian but was fired from the budget cuts in California. Now, I'm a stay at home wife, and in a rut. I'm looking to find some motivation and inspiration besides the freelance writing and photography i do.
phew!
anyways, love your work!
i love hot chocolate. it becomes an addiction once fall hits. love your blog....im working on commenting more!

One of my favorite quotes:
ReplyDelete"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you many never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person." - Fred Rogers (mister rogers)
Good day, Love!!! I am so in love with your Fall journal!!! That pumpkin you carved is just awesome!! What a great idea!! I love your blog and I love you!!!!
ReplyDeletehello! my autumn loves are cool crisp days, honey crisp apples & gruyere, and hoodies ;)
ReplyDeleteHey hey. It's Allison from One Glad Morning. I love fall colors and apple cider. Yum! Now I'm just waiting on cooler weather...
ReplyDeleteLoving the journal! :D
ReplyDeletePS - My favorite thing? There's WAY too many!! Right now it's just the colors, though, I think haha
Howdy! I'm Kara and I only recently found RVA and you and your friends' lovely blogs. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd what is my favorite thing about Fall?! Oh goodness, what ISN'T my favorite thing about Fall?! Haha! But really, I adore the season and I think it's when God shows just a little bit more of his creative side with majestic colors! I also totally dig it here in Missouri with all of the hills and gorgeous trees! (Being raised in Oklahoma with fewer trees, I can tell you, there's a huge difference!) Then there's the cool breezes, the Fall clothes, the warm drinks, etc... :-)
Nice to meet you! I hope to become friends with you! And really, all of you awesome, creative ladies of RVA! :-D
Hi! Super cute pages!
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking about when I watched a Monarch butterfly come out of it's chrysalis with my preschool class yesterday. It was a beautiful, incredible sight. Some photos here. Have a great week!
confession: sometimes I wish my son had a mute button.
ReplyDeletehi, it's me holly. :)
ReplyDeletewe were on the same wavelength with thanking God for the amazing reasons fall is so wonderful. :)

Hey Janel!
ReplyDeleteAutumn is BY FAR my favorite season because my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving! I also love scarves, jackets, leaves changing color, fireplaces, bonfires...the list goes on and on!
Hope you have a great day and get the 1,000,000 bloglove comments you deserve!
Love,
Jess
Hey Janel...my favorite thing about fall are: the smells (pumpkins, cinnamon, pies, cool air), decorating my home, and carving pumpkins. I really could go on and on.
ReplyDeleteI had a couple great things happen to me... I got a free pumpki spice latte from Starbuck compliments of my mom, saw my brother off to Spain at the airport this morning, and have had the most comments on my blog today!! I had seven! Hey it is the small things...and thanks Janel for your comment.
Happy Fall!
XOXO
I'm Toni from little suitcase.
ReplyDeleteI am a terrible dancer. Think of Elaine from Seinfeld and I'm worse.
I think you are a beautiful caring person and I love your positive and inspiring blog. Makes me very happy to visit here.

ReplyDeleteHello :) I am Jessy, an Australian! I found your blog thanks to Becky from Strumpets Crumpets and her contribution to your quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat is making me happy today - after a pretty crappy day at work, I know I can curl up in bed soon and watch United States of Tara tonight :)
One of my favorite things about fall is Candy Apples!

ReplyDeletehere's to autumn and corn on the cob and walks in the wind with big coats!

I love autumn because it is almost Eggs-a-ronius hat time.
ReplyDeleteDADDIO

ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Jackie and I just recently stumbled upon your blog. I adore fall and can't wait for the cool, crisp weather. I got to sleep in today, which made me very happy!

ReplyDeletei forgot to tell you what i love about fall.
my grandmother makes this drink called wasel.

it's so yum!

ReplyDeletejanel! i looove your fall journal! especially the autumn skies polaroid :]
ReplyDeleteHi Janel! I'm Jackie and I'm like you with the whole comment thing (and I might have to do a similar experiment, you had 44 comments when I looked!!). I love autumn and your journal and my new found crochet skills. If I come to the States and you still don't know how to do it, I'll teach you!! xx
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Sarah. I read your blog thru my Google Reader. I moved to Los Angeles from Michigan three years ago and I'm really being to miss the change in seasons! It's still in the 90's and sunny here. What I wouldn't give for some cool crisp sweatshirt weather!
ReplyDeleteI love your album! I agree with the comment thing, although I'm a newbie at blogging. Glad to have a new blogging friend with so much inspiration.
ReplyDeletexoxo

Hi. I'm Emma :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing about Autumn is the smell in the air. On November 5th we have Bonfire night over here in the UK, and the scent of fire and fireworks in the evenings is unmistakably autumnal! x
I'm Jaymi. And I'm a lurker. ("hi Jaymi") I'll comment if I absolutely have something to say, but I'm mostly shy.
ReplyDeleteI'm super excited about this autumn because my 3-year old understands sooo much now. I can't wait to share EVERYTHING with her: the pretty fall leaves, pumpkin carving, hot chocolate, halloween, etc.
I remember you commented on my blog once and I was super excited thinking "Hey, it's Janel. I follow her blog and now she has commented on mine! Wow."
I know, I'm a dork.
Hi Janel,
ReplyDeleteMy name's Jenny and I have been a lurker on the crafty/RVA blog circut for quite a long time. I'm always looking for inspirational blogs and yours is a daily read. Fall is my favorite season because of the cool breezes, pumpkin spice lattes, great photo ops in the changing leaves, and of course the RVA Autumn Class! Thanks again for being such a great inspiration and such a sweetheart. (Oliver Octopus says "hi"-in an underwater bubbly sort of way.)
<3
Hi Janel, I'm Ashleigh. I found your wonderful blog through the RVA autumn craft class :) I've commented before but never really introduced myself. Fall is my favorite season (this year, anyway). I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI tried the comment experiment and got 2. yay -_-
ReplyDelete:D We dont have autumn in Costa Rica. Just summer and winter. but I love halloween :) yay!
My favorite thing today was a pineapple and celery smoothie. i know it sounds gross but it was awesome :) :D
The journal looks great!

ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Janelle. My favorite quotes are:
ReplyDeleteWe wouldn't worry so much about what others think of us if we knew how seldom they do.
Embrace your inner geek. Life's too short to be cool.
i can't wait for new moon.
