JSIM Readers’ Favorite Blogs No. 1

A couple of weeks ago I ran a survey of my readers. If you participated, I sincerely appreciate it. I received over 1900 responses! Wow!

One of the requests I made in the survey was:

Please name one other blog that is a favorite of yours and why.

With so many new places to visit, I can’t help but return the favor and share with all of you. I’ll start with the first 25 blogs mentioned in the survey results and keep them coming weekly if this type of post interests you. (Let me know!)

    Holy cow, thats a lot of people commenting! I am delighted if I get 6 comments on any one blog post….. *sigh* Its hard to break into this blogging community big time…. always a bridesmaid never a bride! Okokok…. a cute as a button— friends with everyone bridesmaid, but in the background none the less. I may have to do something drastic and still some groom to get some more attention over at my blog huh :-)
    Big hug,
    Cheryl

    I always enjoy looking at your website and was very interested to read your favorites list. I looked at Clean and Simple hoping they could show me how to actually make cards….I am no good with measuring and figuring sizes of mats etc. But there were just pics with the materials used listed. Do you know any websites that could REALLY explain to me how to make a card??? Thanks so much!
