Who Is Your Blog Crush? Ultimate Linky

By Mandi • 01/27/2012

Best Blogs, Best Home Decor Blogs, Best Food Blogs, Best Mom Blogs

One thing that I have been painfully aware of recently is the fact that there are SO many amazing blogs out there that I have no clue about.

For example just yesterday I found an AMAZING blog that I am sure so many of you know about since Katie is sort of a DIY Rockstar…have you ever read Bower Power? Seriously so creative and fun and HILARIOUS. (If you have not yet felt the Power of the Bower head over and tell her that her BFF Mandilicious sent you.) and if you have WHY didn’t you tell me to go read it?!!

Oh and how about 71 toes? I want to be JUST. LIKE. SHAWNI when I grow awesome.

It seems the more time my blog takes the less time I have to blog hop (strange how that happens right?!) And I know that there are TONS of amazing blogs that I am missing out on.

So I want you link up your favorite blog. Not so much your blog, but the one(s) that you read that you would DIE if you missed a post. (feel free to link up as many as you want)

And make sure that you leave a comment on that site telling your blog crush that you love them as much as the Snap girls (minus me) love Neil Diamond. (Which is more than humanly possible FYI)
This is for you girls.

Where was I going with this?

Ummm…Oh yes, leave a comment telling them why you are their blog crush I promise on my first born that it will make their entire day.

All you need to do is link up the URL of your fave blog, and image from their site. In the description leave their blog name and a SHORT description of what we can expect to find.

For example if you were writing one about me (which is not necessary but I am flattered, thank you) it would look like this:

Vintage Revivals:  Epic DIY Room Makeovers

Or if you REALLY wanted to be my friend you would write something like this:

Vintage Revivals: Gorgeous, Talented, Funny. The Miss America of Blogland.

You know, what ever you feel like the right description is…. that’s easy enough right?!

Ok, get to linking so we can all ignore our children today! Wahooo! (Just joking for all the crazies who thought I was serious.)

And I would love it if you are a Pinner and would pin this so it could reach outside our DIY land!

Love Your Guts

  2. Awesome idea, I will be back here in a couple of hours when I force my kids to take extra long naps 🙂 I LOVE confessions of a cookbook queen for wickedly tasty deserts that look too pretty to actually eat.

  8. Picking ONE is hard, but I really enjoy Old Paint Design, it’s a home improvement DIY blog and Shane makes up awesome/easy furniture hacks in Google sketch-up a la Ana White. I <3 underdog blogs (superstars are cool too, but no one ever roots for the ‘little guy’)

  9. Wooops! I’m new to this “linky party” thing! I though you were wanting my name (Jon)… 🙂 Anyways…I like http://www.dumpedanddiscovered.com!! They do a great job refinishing pieces that most people would throw away. They give most of their finds that vintage feel that I love!!

  20. I linked up one of my fave blogs, spooky pooky, because she makes amazingly adorable little creatures BUT she knows how to go big with her decorations. Check out the Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas. That’s actually SITTING ON HER HOUSE! Amazing, right?

  27. I was going to put you but then I would feel like a super Brown Noser. We all love you anyway the bestest. I am pretty sure if I met you real life I would pee my pants a little. Sooo, I am linking up You Are Talking Too Much. This blog is Hi.Lar.Ious!! I laugh out loud all the time reading her blog.

    1. *linked

      I didn’t want to duplicate any already up there, so I picked Better After! I love seeing all the amazing transformations in one place…and getting to see ones I would have missed because I don’t follow that specific blog.

  32. Mandi my candy…I am blushing. And yes, I just called you your official stripper name…furniture stripping that is 🙂 Seriously though – thank you so much for the shoutout – it is an honor especially coming from one of MY FAVORITE bloggers 🙂

  33. Thank you Mandi. This is one of my favorite things you do. I love to discover awesome new blogs! WAHOO! And I have a secret wish that someday mine will be linked {without me linking it myself or paying someone else to do it!}. Alas . . . I have not yet arrived. But you sure have! Great work on being a favorite to so many.

    Warmly, Michelle

    Now, who’s going to do the laundry while I spend the weekend reading these blogs?? Huh? HUH?
    Have an awesome weekend!

  40. Thrifty Decor Chick was the blog that got me hooked on blogs – I love Sarah writers voice, I feel like she is talking only to me! I love The Yellow Cape Cod – her style is awesome and her tutorials are great! Last, but certainly not least, I love ya Mandi – you are as cute as a button, also very talented and you inspire me to go to the thrift stores bc your redo’s/projects are amazing!

    There are several blogs I never knew about–what a great universe of talent to explore! There goes my (working) day!

  45. I’m not going to lie, I just found your blog today, and I’m pretty sure you’re my new blog-crush! I love your sense of style!

  49. Love that you are having a blog link party. I am coming across new blogs all the time and I know that I need a few more to keep me from actually being productive at work. 😉

  50. Maggie Whitley from Gussy Sews is such a doll!! 🙂 Not only is her blog a happy place full of inspiration and sewing and pretty things, but she also takes the time to put out some really important and interesting blogging/biz posts too! 🙂 Her products are top notch and so is she (and her fab team!). Check her out! You won’t be disappointed! http://www.gussysews.com

  51. Okay, first of all, this is such a great idea because I just had a reverse version of what you’re doing…

    Clear as mud?

    Yeah.

    Let me try again.

    Someone left me a comment saying I’d been mentioned in this list – #52 (because I know you were burning with curiosity), which, of course, brought me running to see what this list was all about and who mentioned me, etc. (nothing like telling a girl that she’s being given compliments somewhere in blogland to bring out the narcissist in her).

    AND…that’s how I (read: emphasis) found YOU.

    Happily following along, happily browsing the other great recommendations, and just as happily inviting you by for a visit.

    Love what I’ve seen so far!

  52. If Barbie ever decided to go GI Jane, she’d be Ana-White.com. That woman is talented! Who else could live in Alaska, build their own house while pregnant, have Pottery Barn dangle a lawsuit over her head then turn around and build not 1 but 2 houses from the ground up for her momma & MIL?!?! Ana White, that’s who! Big shout out to my blog crush!

  54. My blog crush happens to be my wife Valerie. Revictorian.com. I’m a little biased but I love what she’s doing to our house and I love what she does on the blog. Check it out.

  55. I love LiveLoveDIY. Great ideas and everything is so clean that I can put my own spin on things and make them my own. Makes me feel soooo much more creative x1000. And that doesn’t happen a lot! Kind of the way I’m feeling after reading your pillow posts. *goes home to dust off the sewing machine….It’s in the basement, right?*
