Well hey there friends! Its time for the most collaborative vloggy day of the year as I team up with Alissa from Rags to Stitches to combine The Girl Behind The Blog AND Coffee Date vlog link ups! What a vlogtastic day indeed! I'm super excited to see what all of you feel like you've gained through the blogging community. Oh, and ps, you can find all the past vlog link ups here. We know that a lot of us hate our voices on camera, didn't link up to our OWN linky so now the Hosts say "WINNER!" gosh why am I so awkward!, have a random and distracting ringtone blare from their phone for no reason, seemingly offend their real life friends (whom I LOVE!) , give themselves a round of applause or are 100% certain YouTube's main goal is to give you the most unflattering thumbnail options in the world.
It's ok... that's just life. We just want to get to know you in your own words! If you need to see the ground rules or to grab the button you can head over to the prompt. Make sure you follow both Alissa and me (we're the first two videos!)
You only have to link up on one of the host's blogs because our links are interlinked. So, tell us... What do you feel you’ve gained from being a part of the blogging community? Here's my vlog...Enjoy!
friendship is definitely one of the biggest things i've gained from the blogging community! that and just a network to plug into for encouragement and growth.
i'm so excited you're the conference manager for influence this year! you are going to do fabulously, i know!
I always greatly enjoy reading your blog and watching your vlogs. You are so inspiring and I would truly honestly love to get to know you better and be a 'close friend' in your life and blog life. I would love to get some serious blog advice from you and connect with you in a way tha we haven't talked much before. I hope we can, email or connect with me and we can maybe start getting to know each other more. you are amazing and I fully adore you through the blog community, so i'm thankful for you! loves, Nora www.noraspaulding.blogspot.com noraspaulding@gmail.com :)
Aww I just love watching your vlogs. You have such a bright & friendly personality! Congrats on the new job! =) & I never thought to mention faith in my vlog. I too have noticed that it's hard to find friends in "real life" who share the same faith (and are open about it). I'm not even that open about my faith on my blog yet, but I love getting inspired from other women who talk about their faith openly on their blogs. =)
Ashely, you are adorable and I'm so excited for you being the conference manager for the Influence conference! Woohoo! I would love to come and to meet you...we'll see how our budget and time looks as it gets closer. Thanks for doing this and I love that you linked up with Alyssa! Still praying for you and reading all your posts (even if I haven't commented much lately) Alesha <3
Well, hi there! I mentioned on Alissa's blog that I have been blogging for about 6 months now. I blog on faith and food. I am enjoying getting to know everyone. It takes time, but I see it coming together! Nice to meet you:)
Hi, I found you through Alissa. Nice to meet you Ashley, I'm Alice! :) (Funny our names all start with an A, hehe)
And about the vlog topic - I just wrote about this a few days ago, so I am linking up with that post. It's not a vlog, but I promise to vlog in the future, so I'll show you my voice then. :) As for my blog, I blog about my cats, thoughts, I share recipes,... it's still very new, but we'll see where it takes me. :)
yay! it was so nice "seeing you" yet again =)i love that we both said we didnt know what we were getting ourselves into =) AND i am so excited to see you again, hopefully for Influence..fingers crossed...miss little manager =)
I don't know if I've told you yet, but I LOVE your hairstyle! You're so cute. And yay for you and Influence! You were such an awesome community leader- excited to see what God has in store for this year!!
Hi! I just happened upon your blog and I'm so glad I did! My husband is currently going through the police academy, set to graduate in June. I follow a few military wives and have been hoping to find an officer's wife. I look forward to following your blog and hopefully learning a thing or two about what I'm in for! LOL!
Nice to 'meet' you! Katie http://womaninamansworl.blogspot.com/
Do you have any good resources as far as getting info about the Influence Conference? I googled it but am having a little trouble coming up with anything other than the date and location.
Good to see you again. Great topic this month, its been fun to hear everyone's experience. I don't think anyone knew what they were getting themselves into when they started. I'm planning to go to my first blog conference in April and meet some friends in real life. So exciting!
Hi!!! So nice meeting you!! I'm coming over from rags to stitches!!! I love your blog!!! I don't know how I haven't "met" you yet! I'm hanna. I did Kim up a blog post but not a Vlog on this topic. However, I loved seeing the other vlogs so maybe next month I'll link up with you:) I loved hearing your storty!! Nice meeting you. So glad to have found you!!!

Hey Ashley!!
ReplyDeleteFirst... your hair is soooo cute!!
Second...Yay!! for being the Influence Community Manager! How fun. I'm hoping to go this year.
Sad face though... my link isn't showing up. =(
Ah ha... AND I can't watch any of the other links b/c a Pinterest button comes up and hovers over the links when I try to click on them. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteIf you click anywhere on the links except directly on the pin it button it will still take you to the other blogs... Sorry!
DeleteAww I just love watching your vlogs. You have such a bright & friendly personality! Congrats on the new job! =)
ReplyDelete& I never thought to mention faith in my vlog.

Thanks for hosting, Ashley! It's only been 10 months since I last linked up. I need to get around to vlogging more often!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being the conference manager - that's SOOO exciting!
