Grow Your Blog Party

Well - I just found this opportunity to have a zillion people look at my blog - so I thought I would join in!  There is a Grow Your Blog party at Two Bags Full - go check it out, and enjoy reading all the different bloggers that have joined in!


But before you do, read my profile to learn about me and why I started blogging at Home In Douglas.

And, if you leave a comment by February 14th, you can win a giveaway of a lovely, handcrafted icon prayer shrine, featuring a reproduction of a hand painted icon by Charles!

  1. Paula- the party started today. The last date to sign up to participate ( on the official sign up post) was the 15th. You did not enter or ask to participate-- so you are not on the list :(

    I will try to add your blog to the list tonight when I get home- it will be late---

    Hopefully next year you can participate by signing up early---

    Xoxo

  6. Hi Paula, Just found your blog and can't wait to read more. I love finding new blog friends from folks in different parts of the country and learning what life is like in THEIR neck of the woods. I don't think I'm following anyone else in Alaska. Looking forward to learning more about you.

  7. Hey Paula! I'm so glad to have found your blog :) I hope I'll get to learn a little bit about Alaska now! I do have one question - do you get to see the Northern Lights there often? :)

  8. Hi Paula! I found your blog from Grow Your Blog and like everyone else am so curious about life in Alaska - I live in the middle of England, so probably ver different! Though right now we have snow too...probably not *quite* as much ;)
    Look forward to getting to know you more through your blog!

    1. You might actually have more snow than we have right now - it is pouring rain at the moment. Southeast Alaska is a temperate rain forest, so our temperatures are quite a bit warmer than the Northern parts of the State.

  15. Hey, howdy fellow Alaskan!! My hubby is currently stationed in AK and we live in Palmer. We love the beauty here but really miss family quite a bit. With 5 kids, it is hard to hop a plane every whip snitch.

    Stopping by from the GYB party.
