Almost a year ago a friend of mine on Facebook posted a picture from a blog of a grouping of plates on a wall. I followed the link and my life changed forever. (Not really, well maybe just a little...) Up until that point I had NO IDEA that there were blogs purely devoted to design, decor and DIY. (And yes, I do live under a rock.) The only blogs I was aware of were family blogs and those dedicated to stirring up arguments and discord (through largely worthless opinions.) Suddenly my eyes were opened to a whole new world of like-minded individuals--people who loved design as much as I did. I knew I wanted to start my own blog right away but waited a few months to get a feel for it and also because fear was holding me back. I knew next to nothing about blogging or even basic computer functions like how to post a picture. (Remember the rock?)
One of the first blogs I started reading was Funky Junk. Donna's style was so original and unique. And now almost a year later her blog is still one of my favorites. But it's not just because of her funky style and beautiful photos. Donna has a big blog and is extremely busy but she is very gracious and helpful. Her post subjects are positive and full of encouragement and information for other bloggers. Reading a Funky Junk post was what gave me the inspiration and courage to start my own blog in March.
So, I am thankful for Donna and other bloggers like her who are positive, helpful and especially gracious. They continue to inspire.
