Welcome to Grow Your Blog sponsored by Vicki @ 2 Bags Full.
Vicki did a great job putting this party together and I wanted to thank her
for all her hard work.
Vicki did a great job putting this party together and I wanted to thank her
for all her hard work.
I am a day late joining the party due to computer problems. All is well now and I
am back to blogging.
At 2 Bags Full you’ll find links to almost four hundred blogs…all there to
meet new people and hopefully grow their blogs. I am always excited to
find new blogs with similar interests as mine. Looks like I’ll be busy for
quite a while going through all the links at the party!
For those of you not familiar with “No Minimalist Here” I thank you for visiting
for the first time. Our move from Florida to Virginia. three years ago prompted
me to start blogging. Hubby and I sold our home in Florida fully furnished
(they even bought our pots, pans & dishes) and we had to pretty much start
decorating our new home from scratch.
My friends and family know how much I love decorating, they were asking
me to email them pictures as we worked on our home. I decided the best way
to share our progress was through starting a blog. Never in a million years did I
dream No Minimalist Here would grow to the size it is now, nor did I think anyone
other than a few family and friends would even visit.
I truly appreciate each and everyone of you that have made this blog such
a fun and wonderful experience for me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
For those of you that are visiting here for the first time, or are relatively new
followers, I am highlighting below are just a few of my favorite projects.
followers, I am highlighting below are just a few of my favorite projects.
Above is one of the first projects I showed on my new blog… Ballard Design Knockoff.
It is still one of the most visited post even three years later.
Make Your Own Chalk Paint For $4.00 to date has had over 200,000 visitors and still has
more views each week than any other post. Who would have ever thought?
I saw a great Lazy Susan at Pottery Bar and decided to try to recreate the look. The
Pottery Barn Inspired Piece is still one of my favorites…even if it did only cost me $1.00.
Covering the altar candlesticks with Spackle really transformed the bright
gold finish on this pair.
Thanks for dropping by and you can find more of my frugal projects in the
archives. Also, I would love for you to link up to the Open House party held right
here starting every Wednesday evening.
I will try to get around to visiting everyone linked to the
Grow Your Blog Party. In the meantime just leave a comment that
you are a new follower here and I will happily follow back.

Hi Sherry, I'm a fairly new follower of No Minimalist Here, and I must say I love your posts. Thanks for sharing your lovely ideas and projects.
Blessings,
Linda
wow Sherry, I didn't realized you "sold everything"! sometimes, I think that would be refreshing; a chance to start fresh and rethink it all. I'm heading over to visit the party.
hi sherry,
i'm not sure i ever knew about your blog story so thank you for sharing it. your blog is one of my favorites!
I suscribed a long time ago. I think it's because I loved the title of your blog… "Minimalist" decoration is really trendy right now in France and it's just not me! But I'm a brand new follower, since I only recently discovered what it was, when someone asked me to add the gadget on my own blog.
Your homemade chalk paint recipe post got me started and I've become a painting fool! (and really good at it) Thanks for the posts!!
Spackle huh? I have some candle sticks that are simliar so I will give it a try. Hope they come out as well as yours.
I have been following you for a while now – this morning I was happy to see the Grow party you are having! I have blogged for a while now but this last week I have decided that I wanted to grow my blog and become more dedicated to it. I have a lot to learn. So thanks for having this party!!!
Enjoy your blog !

Great post, Sherry! I've been a follower of your blog since right after I decided to start blogging. I had been "visiting" blogs for several years and was trying to get up the nerve to start my own. You continue to inspire me. Thanks!

Hi! Not sure if I ever let you know that I was following your blog or not, but I know that I have left oodles of comments. There is always something wonderful to comment about in your posts and I'm truly enjoying reading them all. I have lived in Florida before and lived most of my life here in Virginia, so we have that in common, among other things. Thank you for so much inspiration and fun! Hugs, Leena
I will check out the Grow Party…this was a fun post.
I have been enjoying your blog, Sherry, for a long time!
