After having a conversation with some friends today
about how we choose a blog name and what it is.
about how we choose a blog name and what it is.
I have always wondered when visiting blogs
where did they get the name for the blog.
We had a laugh at a few...he he
We had a laugh at a few...he he
What's the reason behind the name???...
Some are quirky and some very cute, some just roll off the tongue,
some make a statement, some are just because.
I thought it would be great to find out.
Why?? What's your name!
Why?? What's your name!
Just because!...
As well find out what motivated you to name your blog what it is.
I would love you to join me and explain
"What's your Name and Why"
My reason for 'As Sweet as Cinnamon'
- Its the meaning of our youngest daughters name.
We love her name and the meaning is so special...
She has the sweetest temperament and is even sweet to smell..
her name also means Most Beautiful...
actually both our girls names mean most beautiful
and they are to us just that... he he...we are very biased.
I also love, love, love Sweet Cinnamon Scrolls
and have made them every Christmas for ages..
so it just was fitting to be a blog name.

Hey Dawn! I've done a post telling the 'story' of how my blog name came about ... but the post link had too many characters in it for my linky, so I've just popped my blog address in it and it's the most recent post ... fun to see where people's blog names came from! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS
Ok if 16 muddy feet show up twice on the linky thingy, do #16...........forgot the WHOLE link for the first one. That was actually my very first post of why I named my blog what i did.
Hi Dawn. I did a post and used the link up but had to go to Tiny URL to shorten the link title. Thanks this was interesting.

I tried twice to no avail. Then I took Wanda's advice and turned it into a TinyURL and it worked. Thanks, Wanda!
What a great idea. I posted and linked. Just a question... What is your daughter's name?
Dawn,
That is a really cool idea! Hope the link worked!
lol...

Ok now this is just too fun, Dawn - I love how you got your name, and I'm playing too! I can't wait to read all the links!
Dawn, I wrote my post, linked up. Left it ten minutes, came back and my link wont appear! Here's my post:
http://thecraftersapprentice.blogspot.com/2011/10/whats-in-name.html
I really hope you'll take a look, it's quite long!!
Either the linky is not working or I am not "accepted. Either way I love reading everyones posts and have found a few new blogs to follow.
You can click on my name to go to my blog.
When I first was on your site the "link" wasn't there. I opened it again and Hooray! there it was. I just finished posting on my blog. This is a really fun idea. Thank you for it!
Oh My Gosh! This was such fun! Thanks for the inspiration!
I have tried to submit link twice but still unsure if received since it still does not show up. What should I do now? Judy C and www.ShadeTreeQuilting.com
I actually wrote about the name of my blog in my first post!

Lovely idea! I just did this earlier this week about my blog name! How funny! Will do it again, just so everyone can read it on the front page! Great idea to find new blog about quilting!
Great idea Dawn! I can't wait to read through everyone's posts. Hope you have a lovely day, toni xxx
Not feeling well enough for a blog post at present so guess I am not in the running but want to share anyway. I have long loved the Frost poem "Stopping by the woods..." and love the line about promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep. My life has been turned upside down by severe fibromyalgia. It was the reason my ex filed for divorce and learning to live with chronic pain can really get the best of me. However, I remembered that poem and that particular line and decided to promise myself that I would not give up, and would continue to do the things I loved before illness - as I am able - quilting and hand-sewing for antique dolls being two such things I have promised myself. There are many days when it would be easier to stay in bed and just give in to the pain, but I made that promise to myself and will not give up or give in.
Hi Dawn
What a lovely idea. I think I have linked up. It has been great to read the other posts. Sometimes our names just come to us don't they?
Debra
Thanks for putting together this fun time of sharing. I love your story about your lovely blog name.
What a great idea...so fun! Thanks for hostessing!
Now that is a great idae - I have always wondered how people come up with their blog names. I have done a post
Love the idea and its great to read what others have named their blog and the reasons behind it
have fun with your giveaway......too tired to post but I thought I would tell you anyway.......I love Chooks and love blue.....so it was pretty simple once I put it together.........Chookyblue........
Great idea Dawn - I could have used this kind of inspiration when I was starting out!! Great stories and a great way to find new blogs. Thanks!
Dawn have joined in the fun and will pop over and check out other blogs.
Hi Dawn,
Having so much fun checking out new blogs. Thanks Sandra
I have a friend in CA Jan, who I watch and learn from everyday. she teaches me so many things...so this AM I learned g=how she named her quilting blog. I never knew. So the story behind my little bog..Pressing My Seams Open...I am a self taught quilter for about 10 years now. I began my addiction while we lived in WI and were in the midst of some horrible foster care situations (we were the providers) I quilted at night after all the kids were in bed and my husband was at work. The ladies at my favorite quilt shot in Racine, WI would talk me through things I couldn't figure out. They were the best. We have several other blogs on our family blog what we write (theellisfamilycincinnati.blogspot.com) I always, in the beginning before I knew better) pressed my seams open. So it just seemed natural.
Dawn what a lovely idea that you came up with. I have posted on my blog and left a link. Because of your lovely idea i have been blog hopping to some lovely blogs that i have not been to so thank you.
Hugs
Narelle

Look forward to reading other blogs.I just posted mine. I'm now a follower.
I don't actually have a blog. I have thought often about why a name was chosen and will enjoy going to all the links to read the whys. If I had a blog maybe I would call it "Dying to quilt" humor me, I am a mortician with a quilting secret life!
this is very innovative! love to visit what others are thinking when they first started the blog, you do need a name and it is amazing why they picked the name I love your little story very precious
OH Annonymous, go on, make a blog we want to see your quilts and things... PLEASE...LOL
Hugs Dawn x x x
I have tried seversal times to link but in vain so you will either get lots of me or none. LOL!
I love how you chose your anme and I swear I can smell the cinnamon when I visit.

This has been a great linky party, I've had fun finding out what people pick for names.
Oh Dawn this was too much fun to miss out on :-)
Off to do some reading now! xx
What a great idea Dawn... I just had to play along. Thanks for the fun and I love how you got your name xx
I have tried to submit link but it is not working.
Anna
I tried twice to link with this post and it never appeared. I am still new to the world of blogging. Once i master a skill I can usually repeat it. But this one has me stumped. But i hope you will visit my blog and help me along.
Beth
What a wonderful idea for a post! When is the linky open til? I cannot join in right away, but really do want to. Hope to get a chance to get my post for this together by Monday...is that too late?
Blessings & Aloha!
oh! I also meant to say...I love to know the meaning behind names. I really feel that names are very important..and all the art I do is all drawn entirely with names.
I would love to know what your daughter's name actually is that has the meaning of "Sweet as Cinnamon".
Blessings & Aloha!
I tried to add a link but I don't think it worked. It's a fun concept - thanks heaps!
What a great idea. I've linked and I refreshed the page to make sure the link worked.
Cheers,
Robyn
