So, I just love that you hang out here on Fridays.
I love that you kick off your shoes, put your feet up on the coffee table, and make yourself comfortable. I love that we gab about our likes and dislikes, our quirks, quibbles, and quaint qualities.
It’s delish to swap stories with you.
Today I thought it might be fun to share more than just a sentence or two. I thought it might be fun to exchange snapshots of who we are – using pictures and words. Why don’t we link up our “About Me” pages and visit a little longer than usual.
It’s easy peasy. Just enter the web address of your “About Me” page into the form below. Link to a photo of yourself when prompted and ta-da – we’re hanging out face-to-face. And if you want to get even chattier, you’re welcome to write up a whole “Hiya, this is me and I’m glad to meet ya” post. But, I’ll just be linking to my About Me page, so don’t sweat it.
One more thing: Once you’ve entered your link – go visit the person before you on the list, say “hi,” and let’s all get to know each other a little better. Drop a comment on their About page or their most recent post. Consider it like signing their guest book. {Gosh, but I used to love those as a kid!}
Are you with me? Good, here’s the form. I’ll go first.
OK, your turn. Subscribers, come on over so we can see your pretty faces and offer you some tea.
This is fun. Neat to “meet” other people. Also I may be cheating since it’s still Thursday here.
Exactamondo!!
Love this plan!
I don’t have comments enabled on my About page, and neither does the person before me on the list… so I just left a comment on her recent post. :)
Girl, turn them on already! The more conversation, the merrier.
PS: Can’t wait to meet, meet you in October!! Whoot whoot -road trip!
Ok, very creative and fun, for sure. But now you have to come by (see below) and leave me a link to one of your favorite posts from the last couple weeks that I’ve missed b/c I never browse the internets these days. :)

Done and done. I may also have written a mini blog post on your About Me page. :)
This is seriously awesome! I will go make my about me and then come and post it!
Make like Nike, and just do it! :)
I did it! It’s up for all to see. I whipped out a new post too! yay!
Oh I LOVE this idea! Thank you Lisa Jo! :)
Looking forward to enjoying a cup of coffee with each of you!
Is it ok if I drink tea? Or,wait, no make mine a caramel frappe. Mmmmmm.
Those frappes are DANGEROUS!! I’ve only had the mocha and I think that’s probably best…especially for my hips-n-butt! :)
I try never to listen to anything my hips tell me! :)
I love this.
So excited to spend my day- eh… free time meeting everybody!
I’m thinking we’ll have an early naptime today. :)
Ha! My day got totally sucked into the joy of hanging out too! You are not alone.
What a great idea! I love this. I’d link up if I had a picture :) Maybe I’ll get one…
Oh man – just link up anyway – you can use any picture – even your blog header? Just come join the party. We want to meet wonderful *you*!! :)
OK…since you said so, I did it. Thanks for hosting. This is a fun idea! Can’t wait to meet some new bloggers.
Oh my WORD – cutest blog profile pic EVER!! So glad you linked it up!
Hi Lisa-Jo!
I’m Emily! (Actually Emily Jo, but I don’t go by it.) We chat on twitter (emilypilotswife) and I’m going to Relevant too. Can’t wait to meet you!
Girl, I know who you are! You were just hanging out with Jessica – I read that post :) And seriously, “Emily Jo”?? Just like Lisa-Jo? #DestinedToBeFriends
Well, I’m glad you knew who I was… ha!
(Don’t you hate it though when you think someone will remember you and they’re all… um.. who are you again?) :D
So sorry about the double entry!! My first entry didn’t have the specific link to my About Page. :( I did this too early in the morning! Sorry for the mess. This is fun and hope you have a great day!
No worries – I got your back! Hopped over and deleted your first link. So happy to see someone had already left your About Me page a comment! whoot whoot for community!!
What a fun idea!! Can’t wait to meet you in person!! Won’t be long now! =)
Possibly my favorite post by you ev-ah! Girl there is no end to your creativity :) love it!
Are you aware that you look like a 16 year old in your gravatar photo? Not sure if it’s totally fair and sportsman like to be flaunting those great genes all up in our faces, eh? #DigYouMoreThanBabyBackRibs
that is my friend Pitter’s magic from Georgia. We call it “being Pitterized”… once she had me all made up, then she became “the Pitterazi” – I’m telling you girl, she is SO talented…. #Idon’tLookLikeThatEveryDay :)
I want to be “Pitterized”!!
Hi Lisa-Jo! {I just love that name.} So nice to meet you and all the lovely friends-to-be that are entering! I hope you have a wonderful week-end!
Oh you made me so happy by lovin’ on my name. Do you know I had a professor once that told me it only made him think of a Big Boy’s Diner and I should go by one of my other names instead? Yea, charming guy he was! But see, now you just proved him wrong and I am totally vindicated! Whoot Whoot!
Oh, well this is just TOO cool! I kid you not, I was just sitting here thinking “My readership is so low…I’m not a “popular blogger”. I wish more people knew where to find me…”.
Certainly not in a “I’m an AWESOME blogger” kind of way, but just so that I could find more great Christian women bloggers and really ramp up the quality stuff in my reader.
Can’t wait to check these ladies out!
Oh YAY!! Isn’t community great? LOVE to meet new folks and learn their stories! So, glad you came to join in!
Wondering….anyone listed here live in the St. Louis area?
Such a fun idea! I’m not savvy enough to figure out how to enable comments on my about page, but hope folks will stop by nonetheless! Looking forward to “meeting” new friends:)
Right back atcha!
Love this idea, Lisa Jo…so fun to put people’s stories together with faces. :)
Love to see your pretty smiling face here! Thanks for hanging out – can I get you anything? tea/coffee/lemonade/large hen house snake?? ;)
Heading off to “meet” some new people. What a fun idea!
Awesome idea and looking forward to perusing these ladies blogs this weekend!
What a FUN idea! :)
this is soooo fun! i love it.
thanks for hosting :)
Thanks for visiting! :) Love having folks over!
You make me want to create an “About Me” page… maybe someday soon… I just switched to blogger and am still learning the ropes, but it isn’t a top priority right now. Used to use xanga, but really don’t know what I am doing either place!!
No worries – folks can easy peasy leave a comment on your posts page!
Ok, Lisa-Jo, most. fun. ever. This post, visiting new friends, and lovely, lovely you. You are, quite simply, one of my favorite people. :)
{by the way, some people have put a bug in my ear about South Africa. I’ve been dreaming about it, and I know some day I’ll go. thought you’d like to know. ;) }
I came back to say, I’ve only gone through maybe half the blogs linked above, but I’ve already added like a jillion new blogs to my reader. Hurrah! :)
You make me smile so big. And yes, if you ever feel the wind blowing you in that direction, go visit my South Africa. But be warned, you will leave a large chunk of your heart behind when you leave!
This is wonderful Lisa-Jo! I found you through Alece and found other friends through you today! How fun!
Any friend of Alece’s is definitely a friend of mine!! Lovely to meet you!
She’s my wonderful sister!
Nu-uh! Too fun! Makes me miss all my brothers back home in South Africa. Loved meeting you both!
You are so special, my creative amiga! Love this idea :)
Loving this!! So many new blogs to read! Good thing I had the afternoon off :)
This is genius. They should make you a community manager or something… Heheee.
Smarty pants! I LOVE seeing your gravatar pop up here!!
Great idea, Lisa-Jo! I feel like I’m late to the party, but late is better than never, isn’t it? My google reader is getting quite full, but there’s always room for a few new friends. Thanks for making it easy for me to find some! ?
Marvelous idea….as always. Can’t wait to start clicking and meeting everyone!
Yay – so glad you linked up. I hope lots of folks discover your story!
