Well, I've never participated in a Blog-a-thon before. Honestly, I don't believe I've ever participated in anything that ends with "a-thon". That requires physical exertion and athletic prowess, for which I am not known. But they said there'd be prizes...and no strenuous activity, so I'm in!
I'm relatively new to the blogging scene. When I first began, I wouldn't even tell my friends. I had my blog so hidden that even my husband couldn't find me. It was basically just an online diary with a cute background. However, in the past few months, I've come out of hiding little by little. First I mentioned it casually to a few people. Then I linked to my blog from my facebook page. Next I started sending messages to friends on their facebook "Wall" when I would mention them in a post. Now I all but introduce myself with, "Hello, my name is Denyse @ quirkybee.blogspot.com."
SITS has been instrumental in my transformation because I have met some of the.nicest.people. Seriously. I love visiting the featured blogs each day and I've learned that blogging is oh-so-much more fun when you make comments than when you just "lurk and leave". So thanks Heather and Tiffany for making my blog "saucy"! I appreciate all you girls do!
Here are 5 Great Blogs that make my day when the blog reader alerts me that they've posted something new:
Debbie @ This is the Life and also Blog Around the World
Jennifer @ Dust Bunny Hostage
Tressa @ An American in Norway
Julie @ Journey to FamilyEvi @ Keeping Up With Yesterday
All of these ladies are so fun and inspirational, too! They bless.my.socks.off!
*P.S. I just realized that if you're here via the SITS Mr. Linky, you can't see the rest of my blog...so, if you're interested, click here.

Thanks for stopping by my blog- Your pics are great, I am going to add you to my list so I can come back and peruse when I am not so desperately trying to win a prize (err I totally meant when I have a little more free time). ;)
What an adorable blog! And I'm so glad to meet someone else who started out blogging in super-secret mode :) I thought I was the only one who warmed up to the idea of sharing my blog very, very slowly. Now, like you, I mention it to everyone who crosses my path!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, glad to "meet" you!
The first part made me laugh! This is my first a-thon too!! LOL Loved your post. Love your place!! I'll be back soon!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing the love!
Love me some SITS! Glad to meet you.
Happy Blogathon-ing.
Hi Denyse!
What a cute blog! This is my first SITS event, too! But, it is great because now we are SITStas! Thanks for coming by my place earlier today!
Hugs, Bebe :)
Your blog is cute! Thanks for stopping by mine too.
We have one blog in common. Tressa from American in Norway. Isn't her blog fantastic?!
Happy Blog Day!!!!
Looks like a great blog, bookmarking to come back after I pick the boy up from school!
yep, I definitely prefer this to a marathon... although this might take me longer if I don't stop reading EVERYTHING I can link to!
cute cute cute blog!
happy blogathon!
Thank you so much for supporting your SITStas!
And, we are all about "a thon" that allows you to sit behind the desk.
I think we're destined to be friends because you mentioned 3 of my favorite bloggers! Especially DBH...her blog makes me LAUGH!
This is the only kind of "a-thon" I participate in too. I requires me to just sit on my bootie. Love it. Happy Blogathon Day!
I LOVE your background! Happy Blogathon Day, SITSta!
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm loving that you called me a little sitsa!
I was like you when it came to blogging. I hid it from everyone and now I post about it on my facebook, etc. It's a big part of my life now!!
I'm glad you came out of hiding...that's what she said!!
Like that huh?
so if you join anything with a~thon in its name it might definately have become an addiction...And the post about you being able to do it behind the desk is priceless...In your pajamas at 500am more like it. Enjoy your SITSta~hood and let me know when you do a nap~a~thon ~ I will definately be there for that one.
Thanks for visiting! Hope you come back. Much Love
Anissa

Thanks for stopping by! Your blog is so cute. I love your pictures - especially the one of NYC. I {heart} New York City. Your jewelry is fun too - it totally made me smile. I make hand stamped jewelry and I really enjoy it.
Stop by any time! I'm always up to something. Ha! Ha! :o)
Hi Denyse! AWWWW...thanks for the linky love! And Evi and I go waaaaay back to March! Julie is a recent read for me..but she is a sweetheart...I have seen the other ladies around but haven't clicked over. I should do that someday! I am glad you came out of hiding!

It is almost over. I've been sitting at my putor most of the day (besides that 3 hour nap I needed). Course, I still have tons of comments to read from yesterday and blogs to visit! My day is never ending!! I think I use these !!! too much don't you?
Not to bee, mainly because I am allergic! Happy SITS day!
Hey Hey Hey!

I'm so glad you "came out of the closet" so to speak and are sharing your blog. Blogging is so much fun and such an important tool in my mental sanity these days.
So nice to meet you, neighbor!
