Pass It On: A Contest

I'll admit it - I've been a boring blogger lately! Life has gotten the best of me.

BUT. I want to take this post lull opportunity to reward my faithful blog readers!

I got the idea from Freckles Chick... and here are the contest rules!

100 comments:

  1. I can't figure it out, but I'm game. I came across this blog on the D&R board. Love to see more interior design ispired posts. You know I love those! :) Those and parties. Love parties. :)

  2. Hi there! I do belive I came across your blog through This Young House. I would love to see more of where your inspiration comes from - i.e. magazines, catalogs, stores, etc. Anything design-related is always fun!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hey Bryn! I came across your blog from the nest. I love all your decor inspired posts, even though it's not my style. I love seeing the things you come up with.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Don't remember! Maybe This Young House? Love to see more thrifty finds and then also maybe how you style them...'afters' of your shopping excursions.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Well I'm sure I came across your blog from someone Nest related. :) Fun giveaway! :)

    ReplyDelete
  6. Gosh I don't even know where I found your blog. Maybe it was This Young House since I do love that blog as well. I would love to see more budget and money tips as well as home decor.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I honestly can't remember how I came across your blog! It was one of those things where I started on a blog of someone I know then just kept clicking on their blogrolls until I found you! What a fun way to host a giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Bryn! A contest! I am excited!

    Well... I came across your blog through Journeys of Mangonette, and it became a daily read instantly. I lurked for a while, as I was new to the blogging world, but as soon as I commented you had me as one of your Blog Love features and I was so honored!

    As far as what I would like to see more of... I really feel you are taking Newlywedism's in the right direction as far making it more about your life. Design blogs are interesting but there are SO many out there. I think what is special about Newlywedism's is that you are you, we get a peak into your life and the things you love. Isn't that what blogging should be about anyway?? I say: Keep it up!

    Sincerely,
    Sarah

  9. I found your blog through the nest D&R. It was one of the first blogs I started following daily.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I found your blog on the D&R board of the nest! Love reading your posts, always tons of fun.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Your blog came as a recommendation through my Google reader. Probably has to do with the vast amounts of wedding blogs I've subscribed too. I enjoy reading your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I think I may know what you are going to give. I do read your blog daily but honestly can't remember how I came across it. I like to see posts about DIY and design posts or where to find good deals on home decor.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I came across your blog from the nest. I would love to see more about your home/design/tips on how to find your style or how you found yours.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I came across this blog when I came over to see what you were working on at the computer every night after dinner :)

    I'd like to see more content devoted to sports, cars and electronics.

    Love ya!

    ReplyDelete
  15. It all started with my wedding planning and visiting Style Me Pretty for daily doses of inspiration. Then I ventured off to Making It Lovely which took me to This Young House which then brought me to you!
    It's so much fun to break up my work days with visits to your blog. I feel at home! We have a lot in common!

    I love pictures- anything visual. New ideas, cool, inexpensive peices you've found...this can apply to anything- interior design, wardrobe, etc. Possibly a section on husbands...fun gift ideas...I've been married for a month and a half and am thinking about Christmas and what cool, unique, unexpected, and not expensive gift I can get or make for him. Having just purchased our first home, I'm sure a lot of people could relate.
    Thanks and keep up the fun and entertaining blogs!

  16. Great idea Bryn! Well, I came to your blog after chatting with you on the nest. D&R board of course. ;) You are such a great person and I love reading about your life! I especially love your new video blogs and I'm still swooning over your thrift store finds!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think it was either the nest or This Young House. I can't remember! Either way I'm very happy I found your blog, I love it! Love your shopping finds & interior decorating :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I know I clicked on to your blog through someone elses but I just can't remember whose...

    I would love to see your original (or not so original but you show us how to do it with a budget!) ideas

    ReplyDelete
  19. I found your blog through the nest, along with a bunch of other great blogs! I'm a daily reader and a lurker, I might not have ever posted on your blog before, but I do love it. I like the mix of design and life topics to keep it interesting.

  27. Well, I found you on Google Reader and have been reading religiously ever since (does that score me an extra entry? Just kidding! :))

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think I know what the giveaway is, but I won't tell. HA HA.
    I found your blog through the D&R board...I stalked your bio for inspiration ideas, and then found your blog shortly after.
    As far as what I want to see more of, I can't really think of anything. I love your fashion posts, the little bits about your life....ok, maybe I'd like to see more video blogs because those are fun!
    Thanks for the fun giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I have no idea how I came across your blog--I click too many to know how they all relate but I thoroughly enjoy reading it. I like just about anything you post so I say "keep doin' what you're doin' and if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

    ReplyDelete
  33. i came across your blog because I work in PR and we were hoping to find home inspiration for our clients - after moving through tons of blog rolls, Newlywedisms came up in several blog roles, and now I am an avid fan! i would love to see more how-tos on the projects you work on in your home!

  37. I found your blog through first the knot because I loved your wedding it was soo beautiful and then I started visiting the nest and found you there on the D&R board. I think your house is beautiful and I love to see your inspirations that you find over the net and provide links to them plus I just love how you are a normal girl living in Cali living on a budget but everything you have is so beautiful and you do it all yourself mostly! You inspire me! I also love your personal style which is very similar to mine which is chic yet simple and not frilly! So I love it when you post your fashion inspirations from the greatest store on earth Forever 21!
