Sharing the Love 2011

Blog Info

Do you know how much it means to me when I see Bower Power listed on blog rolls?  It makes me wanna do some serious gyrations.  obscene and honestly, quite awkward gyrations.

It means that other bloggers, my very peers, people that teach me how to be a better blogger, inspire me to be more open and honest, gals that are not just good at what they do – but are amazing, loving and awesomely creative hardworking people in general, people that I personally look up to and consider friends – those people….they are not only reading but recommend my specific brand of crazy to others.  Holy Moly.  Holy the freak Moly.  Insert a gyration here.

During 2011, here were my top referrers…who I would personally like to hug their faces off.  Bonus points if you can name all of them without looking….

And in no particular order,

  1. Sherry (and Johnny Boy) – Young House Love
  2. Sarah – Thrifty Decor Chick
  3. Kate – Centsational Girl
  4. Dusty – All Things G&D
  5. Lyndsey – Life Laughter Love Loflands
  6. Lauren – Live Laugh Love
  7. Ana – Ana White
  8. Benita – Chez Larsson
  9. Emily – Imperfect
  10. Jen – I heart Organizing

Oh and it would be like having a giant albino elephant in the room if I failed to note – how hot are these people?  Like every single darn one of them.  Kinda freaky if you think about it.  So don’t.  Just add these folks to your readers, your email subscription lists, start following their blogs and tell them that Katie Bower sent ya….and then gyrate with me.

p.s.  If you are one of the hotties listed above (yes – even you John – as long as you are wearing a Sprite shirt), thank you.  Thank you for stickin’ by me.  muffintop and all 🙂

  3. What a coincidence – I just mentioned on Benita’s blog that you referred me to each other. (I also mentioned that what I enjoyed about you both was – and I quote – “your forthrightness. I feel that you give us an honest look at your life and your home, and you are unapologetic about your choices, any setbacks and the little quirks we all have. I love it.”

    And also your gorgeous photography.

    I visit about half of your refer-ees (because without the hyphen they are working a Steelers game), and will happily check out the rest. Heck, I click on the links of virtually everyone who posts on your blog. Your people are good people.

  4. I love that as my mouse scans over the faces up there, it reads “Top Hotties.” You are adorable Katie. 🙂

    A BIG thank you to you, Sherry, and John for being the first to open my eyes to the great big world of blogging this year. I’m obsessed, smitten, motivated, and inspired! And these days, I’m checking out all your hot friends up there too! OHHHHH YEAH!!! (whistle and a cat call)

    MUCH love, Chrissy

    PS – I also love that you ladies were both up till the EARLY hours this morning ( I’m looking at 4 am right now). It’s like I knew you guys were talking and I woke up at 1:30 am and couldn’t get back to sleep. Crazy…haha

  7. You’re a fantastic blogger and I’m so thankful that I have the chance to read about your daily life and get so much inspiration from someone I’ve never met. Keep up the good work lady!

  9. I hadn’t even looked at that for my blog, so I just went and checked it out. You were number 2 on my list of referrers…I’m guessing from the Pinterest challenge and from all the comments I leave here that might lead you to believe that I’m stalking you 🙂 BTW, I’ve been narrowing down ideas for the next Pinterest challenge since November 3rd (the day after the reveal from the last one).

  10. Haha! I love it! And I’ll have to call Sherry to figure out when we can both squeeze in the next one – we said probably this month but it might be a lot to handle (she’s been up to her eyeballs with book stuff and I am still wrapping up all my photoshoot editing) so we’ll definitely let you know!

  12. I wish I had more readers so that I could refer them to you! You are my favorite blog (even over YHL…shh….don’t tell John and Sherry). I love your wit and sarcasm. Your blog posts always make me laugh. I also am in love with your photography skills. I wish I was as talented as you!

  14. Oh no! Hopefully Sherry will forgive me for putting her name as Sarah under the wrong link. Whoopsie.
    Thanks for letting me know!

  15. So excited to see my fabulous readers are hanging out at one of my all time favorite blogs! I have been reading for years now. You were actually one of the very first blogs I ever started following. I seriously adore you and your decorating and photography skillz. And your love for bacon. And the Steelers. All of which I love as well which is why I come back daily to see what’s up with your clan!

    Thanks for always providing some sort of inspiration or even just a funny story and making us all smile each day!

  16. How funny to see this post of yours as I have been meaning to do a feature on you for a while. LMK if you are up for it 🙂 I don’t’ have a blog roll on my blog but still want to send my readers your way.

  17. Katie, it’s always nice to share the love. I did the same thing on Mercantile Muse yesterday. There’s so darn many good blogs that people need to check out, it’s nice to give followers a heads up. I’ll be sure to look around and I will, of course, be gyrating.

  18. Not going to lie, Katie. I’m confused how I’m even on the list. Pretty sure I only have 10 followers. But I guess they all link to your blog 100 times a day. Either way, glad to be on your “top hotties” list 🙂

  20. Aww – you gave me the world’s biggest smile right now! and it’s extra big because you mentioned bacon, Steelers, and photography all in one comment 🙂
    Love your blog Jen!

  23. If being linked off of a blog about living in a trailer on the edge of a turkey farm in small town Arkansas was one of your 2012 goals, you can scratch it off. I’ve got you covered.

    People were *begging* to be on my sidebar, who wouldn’t? But I had to stay in line with my classy image.

  24. Late to the party (as usual!) but couldn’t resist sending a big THANK YOU your way for the shout-out. It’s an honor to be on your blog roll and I’m happy to have you on mine as well! Look at us…scratching backs all the way from Wisconsin to Georgia–that takes skill! So happy to have you as a fellow blogger in the ‘sphere, Katie!

  26. Sure, but you do know that it’d be a very fancy affair, don’t you? Because you’d be rubbing elbows with Arkansas’s elite.

    The turkeys, that is.

    Anything that can live its entire life with no teeth or shoes is treated like royalty in these parts.
