Good Evening All...
My ... It is a very cold day here in Maritime Canada...
I guess the whole northern hemisphere is being blasted with cold..
So thankful to have a nice warm bed to crawl into later tonight..
And this lovely cup of tea with leftover gingerbread spoons that I made for Christmas for gifts..
I froze them and forgot to give them away.. grin..
They dip better then gingerbread men, Dawn.. lol...

Sometimes I am able to pick up quite a bit of interesting stuff there ;D ... 4)you can respond to each one if you have time :0) but it is not necessary for me... 5)I enjoy seeing your pictures, then I get to enjoy your words after. ... 6)no, I don't share the post in either of the three... 7)I think your blog is just terrific just the way it is Faye :0) ... 8)Yes, and Yes! so good to know that you are a Believer and your words and the way you share your life depicts your love for Him :0) ... more sewing ;D ... 9)actually no, I have not heard about the new domesticity... how interesting. and you keep warm my friend . We are going through a very cold one here in the mountains :) mari
ReplyDelete1. the middle age group
ReplyDelete2. all of them... that's why I read
3.yes
4.yes
5.both ;)
6.no
7. you're fine
8. love it!!
9.not, that I can think of... (perhaps do a virtual Keepers of the HOME!) - I so wish I lived closer so as to partake in something like this. :)
10. no I haven't... and blogs that I enjoy are similar to yours and/or are pasted on my sidebar.
You are special and I love that you come by and read and comment on my little ole blog from time to time as well. I feel a kindred spirit with you - as something I can learn from and look up to. {Titus 2}
You stay warm, as well.
A great questionnaire, Faye. I'll answer here.
ReplyDelete1. Over 55
2. everything
3. I sometimes read the comments for more information
4. I don't think you need to respond to each comment as it takes a lot of time. I don't like it when bloggers return comments in the 'reply' though as we don't come back and see them and I don't think they automatically go to email like mine do (do they?).
5. I always read the post and always enjoy the pictures.
6. No
7. You do a great job now! ;)
8. Oh yes, I enjoy your sharing your faith very much.
9. no
10. No I haven't. What is it??
You already follow some of my favourites and they are on my sidebar.
Great survey questions. Keep up the good work on your blog Faye. I love it!
here are my answers
ReplyDelete1. over 55
2. crafts, decor gardening
3. not very often
4. not necessary, if I had a question then I would ask if you could respond
5. I always read posts and look at pictures
6. no
7. no
8. I believe and sharing faith in Jesus is wonderful
9. can't think of any
10. uh oh, I missed this one
It's brr ~ cold here too and now off to the den to read a book under a cover on the sofa

Hi Faye! I'm just going to give you some answers because one of the things I've found lately is TIME is short. I love visiting your blog and I enjoy reading and looking at all you post about but I don't expect a reply due to the time issue for us all! I especially love that you share your love of Christ on your blog.
ReplyDeleteJust keep doing what you're doing I think it is a recipe for success!

10. Maybe I'm a bit too old to learn about "The New Domesticity"...whatever that is!
A couple of my favorite blogs are CHICKENS IN THE ROAD and
THE 7MSN RANCH.
Have a wonderful day, Faye!
Oh how fun Faye! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI really loved reading the other comments.
I will have to get this copied and get my answers to you in just a bit - f that's okay.
Karen
Sure, Karen.. That would be great...xox
DeleteFaye,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog! I wouldn't want you to change anything about it. :-)
But here are my answers:
!. I am 51 this week! :-)
2. I love everything you mentioned…cooking, home keeping, crafts, frugality, loving the Lord…
3. I read the comments when I have the time. I think it is interesting to get to "know" others through their comments.
4. I don't expect you to reply to every comment, but if you are moved to reply, then great!
5. I love your photos immensely, but I also read every word you write. I find your writing very peaceful and calming.

7. I don't think you need to change anything. Just be YOU!

10. I have not heard of New Domesticity.
Thanks for taking the time to blog. I look forward to each of your posts.
God bless you, Faye! Hugs! xoxo
I am 49 and I have been following your blog for 2-3 years I'd say. I live in SC, USA and we homeschool. I like all that you do on your blog. I love to look at it in the morning when I'm drinking my coffee. It inspires me...thank you for all you do to help encourage us with our daily home lives with our families and first and foremost putting our Lord first in it all.
ReplyDeleteFYI--I didn't want to put "Anonymous" but I don't have any of those accounts listed so that's why I did that...in the past, I have tried to comment and my computer wouldn't let me since I wasn't signed up for the choices. At least, this time, it let me get this far!! Cathy
Delete1. What age bracket are you in?
ReplyDeleteover 55..
2.. What interests you the most..
I love everything you post about, it's always fun to see what you are up to.
3.. Do you usually read the comments section?
Yes, I love hearing what the other ladies have to say.
4.. Would you like for me to respond to each comment?
That would be majorly time consuming, only if you had the time.
5.. Do you usually actually read the post or are the pics more important to you?
I love the pics and read the post as well. I enjoy it equally. One wouldn't be the same without the other with it.
6.. Do you ever share this post with Facebook, Twitter or Google 1 by clicking on it at the bottom of the post?? I never thought to do that, but now that you say that, I think I will!
7.. Do you have any tips for me you would like to share on how I can improve the posts or the blog page itself? The items that are tagged with specific things are hard to find when you try to go back to a post that was in the past. I don't know how you could tag them to make them easier to find.
8.. Are you interested in the Christian aspect of my blog and the fact that I share Jesus on here? I am a Christian too, and it is always good to find a blog that shares my belief. I love that you love Him,too.
9.. Are there any subjects that you would like to see me post about? I love the crafts you do, maybe show more of the how tos on those, Like those cute gingerbread spoons, I don't remember seeing that post.(lol)
10.. Have you heard about the talk of the new trend called "the New Domesticity?
And can you tell me a couple of your fave blogs..I have not heard that term before but will look it up now. Some of my favorite blogs are : Yours, http://corninmycoffee-pot.blogspot.com/, http://strangersandpilgrimsonearth.blogspot.com/, http://thecountryfarmhome.blogspot.com/, http://homeliving.blogspot.com/

What I like best well I will just copy and paste what you wrote because that is what I like best and that is what keeps me coming back but I will add one more thing and that is your pictures either your home or where ever you go I love to look at them. Where you live in Canada is just beautiful!! So here the rest of what I like recipes, crafts, decor, keepers of the home, frugality, your little chats or whatever. 3. Yes
4. I think only if you have been asked a question other wise you might keep yourself a little more busy than you might want to be.
5. I like both
6. no
7. I love it just the way it is
8. Your Faith and the way you share JESUS is awesome!! And any way that is what he wants us as Christian to do share and spread the word!!

Hi Faye! Thanks for visiting my blog and becoming my newest follower! The gingerbread spoons look AMAZING! I have never ever seen them or heard of them before! I am sure that is some yummy tea that you stir with them! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh...I forgot tell tell you I'm following you too :)
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs. Faye I just wanted to let you know that I am still around. I made a new post today (www.merryheartcrafts.com) and I hoping to get back into blogging. I miss it so much. I have tried to keep up with all that has been going on in your world. I love reading your blog so much. Thank you for your prayers and please continue praying. God bless.
ReplyDeletegrrr, my survey answers got erased! I like your blog the way it is... (and I'm too lazy to answer the ?s over again).
ReplyDeleteFaye, I may as well put in my two bob's worth too all the way from Australia where I am drooling over those gingerbread spoons which I must find out how to make before winter comes along which seems a long way away at the moment.
