I have a favor to ask you.
I value your time. The fact that you choose to spend even a fraction of it here during your day is something that delights and humbles me. I am thankful for my friends in real life who read, for my friends in computer life who read and for those of you who read but haven’t said hi yet.
But like I said, I have a favor and I am prepared to reward you for your clicking labor.
If you are reading this, you know that I have changed my blog address. Now, many of you read in a reader and you have yet to change my address in your sidebar on your blog. I used to enter those links once and never thought about them again. But now that I’ve moved, I’m crazy about keeping them current for people. This is my plea:
If you have Chatting at the Sky listed in your sidebar, would you please update the address?
Thanks. Thanks so much. And to all of you who have already done so, I thank you from the bitty bottom of my chitty chatty heart.
And if you want to add me new to your sidebar or subscribe to the feed by clicking ‘rss feed’ at the top of the page, well that would be extra awesome, too.
If you find yourself in any one of those categories, simply leave a comment to let me know you either changed the address a long time ago, made the switch today or added/subscribed for the first time and I will enter you to win $20 at Target.
Because I am desperate for my links to be current. Thank you. Now get clicking.
I’m subscribing for the first time today… love your blog! I am crazy about your black cabinets.
hi!! well, i did change you in my side bar, almost immediately! but… i still have the old address there, too! once in a while i think- oh, let me delete that one- and then i think about figuring out how to delete the right one, so i move onto something else
one of these days, though!!!
I’m “Johnny come lately” and never had any other address. So it’s all good….at leas I think!
Fixed it. Thanks. I am really enjoying your blog.
Juli
I updated the address already (wouldn’t want to miss a single post!)
Since I only subscribed recently, I am current. Thanks for giving us the heads-up.
Totally changed it today. I just get lazy about those things! Thanks for the swift, but gentle, kick in the butt!
I appreciate the reminder. I changed your address on my links page.
Done (Gee, even your dad forgot). Can you make it Lowes or Home Depot?
I checked and I did it way back when. Do I still get a chance??
I subscribed for the first time today. Your blog is wonderful- as is your style!
I’m a faithful follower and changed it a while back!
I changed it a while ago, but forgot. A quick check revealed that I did update your address. Thanks for the reminder.
I love your blog and I update the address very soon after you moved! Thanks for all the work that you put into it, its wonderful!
I updated your address a long time ago. I’m reading your dad’s story, too. I think you must get your writing from him, yes? It would be interesting to hear your side someday.
Em,
I changed your address a long time ago. Actually it was before you changed your blog. Because I am psychic.
And I know who’s gonna win the gift card, but I’ll keep mum until you announce it. =)
I am already a follower and have the right address on my feed…..but I don’t have a list of blogs I read on my side bar….hmmm, maybe I should figure out how to do that??????
Suzanne
I changed it as soon as you switched addresses.
First time commenting! I’m BFF in real life with Moriah at Please Pass the Salt. She told me she met you at Blissdom and that I just HAD to read your blog. So glad I took her advice! I updated my link soon after you switched! I LOVE your new design and wish I could paint my cabinets black!
My link is correctomundo!
I’ve been reading for a while but finally subscribed today. I love your blog design!
I changed the address in my reader when you first switched over but I find no shame in entering myself in a contest for something I did long ago.
Who can pass up $20 in TARGET!
I think I did it the day after you switched? Do I get extra points for promptness? =)
Emily I changed it the day I found it again…maybe two weeks ago? So happy to “see” you again!
I fell in love with your website when I found the post on your kitchen redos a while back. I had you saved as the old feed, but recently changed it to the new one. Love the new look. very simple and elegant.
I’m glad you mentioned it – I still had the emmafree web address. Fixed it!
Hi Emily! I have had you on my sidebar for ages, and changed your link the minute this new site came up! I haven’t commented in a long time, but I’ll tell you…I like the way your new site numbers the comments. What a great little concept.
Done.
Updated! Thanks for the reminder.
Emily~I updated my reader. Your kitchen is gorgeous and I’m dying over your window treatments~they are perfection!!
My link eventually updated on its own. You don’t have to bribe me with the gift card. HA!
I pride myself on having updated links… probably because I can’t pride myself in having a beautiful kitchen.=)I updated your link the day you launched your new site.
I added you to my new and improved blogroll just recently, so you are updated!
As someone who switched Web addresses on a different site a long time ago (and waited months for some of the links to be updated… some never did), I have to say this post is brilliant. I updated my link to you a while ago, but if I hadn’t, I’d remember to now.
I changed it today. I know I don’t comment often, but I am a loyal reader. (Subscribe through bloglines)
I am a new subscriber and enjoy your blog and beautiful writing. Keep it up!
I updated and saved the new address!
You are updated on my blog:)
Oh, the things I do with a gift card form Target:)
I now officially have you in my reader. Love it.
I just updated your blog address in my sidebar on my blog. Love your kitchen makeover and now I’m strongly considering ordering black cabinets instead of antiqued white for my kitchen renovation.
I am current. Updated the day you changed your site. Bribes are always nice though. Thanks for the offer!!!
I already changed it a while ago.
Sidebar? What is a sidebar? Someone please help me, because I would hate it if I was responsible for an old link (what is a link). Sad, I know it, but true. I can post pictures, embed video, and do a lot of yakking with the keyboard, but can’t tell you what a sidebar is.
This post was a good idea. I added your new address to my reader as soon as you moved, but I never even thought about your link on my sidebar! It’s done now!
I have been staring at your black cabinets this past week, wondering if I have the courage to tackle mine. I love them!
Shannon
I changed mine. But it was just recently hate me. Do I get extra credit because I’m your sister?
I changed your address in my reader as soon as you changed it. I’d hate to miss anything!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I changed it yesterday! Love your blog!
I think I have the current address, but how do I know for sure?
Wow! I just updated your link on my site and that took forever! Haha! I completely forgot how to do it! Thanks for the reminder to do it though. You are right, I never think about those since I use bloglines now.
I made the switch almost immediately. Shocking, see as how I’m a slacker.
hey there! I also updated my reader link awhile ago!
I was diligent and updated your address a while back – I didn’t want to miss anything, that’s for sure!
I changed my link when you first moved. Because I’m so responsible that way. Not that I spend a disproportional amount of time blogging everyday or anything.
Is it bad when by link list is updated but my laundry and housecleaning aren’t?
It’s all set.
Oops! I changed it in my Reader, but didn’t fix my sidebar. It’s been updated today. Thanks for the reminder!
Yep, I just added you to my sidebar! Love your blog and am happy to link up!
Becky
Done!
I changed mine a while ago. Oh the pains of changing domains. Good luck getting everyone to change them.
Emily! You have stooped to bribery! I am so laughing right now. C’mon people, fix those dang sidebars!
Hey Emily,
I changed you in my side bar right after you moved. I’m OCD like that, need to keep everything neat and tidy, even on the internet. Now, back to my pig pen of a house.
I had already updated mine a while back. Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks for the reminder! I just changed the link in my sidebar! I’m glad you thought of it, because I probably wouldn’t have in my scattered little brain!
yikes! and 59 comments already?! did it a long time ago. enjoy your blog that much!
Thanks for the giggle AND the reminder!! So, now you’re all updated over at my place
)
Have a Happy Day!!!
~Rachel
ps.
Great idea too, lol.
Okay, I had already updated your feed in my reader but just now updated it in my sidebar. Is that worth extra credit?
Yep, we’re all good…I updated you on our sidebar a few weeks ago! I still miss all the color on your old site, and I liked being able to see everyone’s little icon pictures, etc…the other tricky thing on this site, is that you have to scroll down all the way to the bottom to get to the comment area, and it’s tricky to read who left which comment without icons, and the names are published on the bottom so I keep thinking the author should be below….anyway still LOVE you, your words, your insights; but I’m still trying to fall in love with the new site…honestly I miss your old one! But that’s just me… and I’m still a fan no matter what format you use!!!
Oops, I changed it on my subscriptions list when you first went live on wordpress but I forgot to update the link on my blog. I did it today. Thanks for the reminder…and incentive
-Hayley
It’s done!
honey, I updated you in my reader a lllloooonnnggg time ago- don’t want to miss a thing! (and if I won, I would totally give the giftcard to my daughters teacher for school supplies!)
i have corrected your address in my sidebar a while back.
you’re current in my “reader”! and i love your “new” blog…
I just subscribed and fixed your link on my blog roll. I thought I did when you switched websites; however, I was wrong. But, we’re fixed now!
Thanks for reminding!:) I subscribed and changed the link!:)
I changed the day you did – I couldn’t get the feed otherwise.
Great Bolg!
Okay! I changed your address on my side bar! I haven’t been adding or updating any of those… I need to do some spring cleaning on my blog layout. I already switched my subscription on my reader to the new address!
I changed your address in my feeder on day one. I never miss a post, though I’m not the most faithful commenter. =( Sorry! I’ll try to do better….especially if I’m blessed with the Target GC!
I am subscribing today.
Got it changed! Be desperate no more.
I changed your address right away! Love visiting your blog!!!
i’ve got you updated on my blogroll page. i even made you your own little button from this new design.
(i also subscribe–can’t miss anything new.)
Just subscribed – yay!
I double-checked and I’m current! (I also spent $47 at Target this morning, lol.)
I had Chatting at the Sky in my “must reads” and just updated the link! Thanks for reminding me. Love your blog.
Your blog is fabulous; I truly enjoy reading!
Your link in my blog list is all nice and current
I changed your address in my favs a while back. Love the new look!
sorry, i’ve been one of the delinquent ones. unintentionally, of course. i’ve changed it now.
Of course I changed it awhile ago! I am current:)
I changed the address awhile ago, and of course I subscribe!
This is so funny. I was just wondering why you weren’t showing up on my “Places My Heels Take Me” blogroll. I typed in your new URL to add you back in, then came over to read your post and it was about updating. Isn’t that a weird coincidence?
My Bloglines feed is already updated. Thanks for your lovely, inspiring blog–and a chance to win $20. What a deal!
i’m a CATS follower!
Cool photo! I changed the address in my sidebar and in Google Reader. I had the old address on Google Reader until just recently when I changed and deleted several.
LOVE YOUR SITE! I updated it a few weeks ago now… So yes, you’re read, you’re loved and you’re updated
Hannah
I stumbled across your blog yesterday – while sitting on a couch in the mountains enjoying time away. I think I read for over an hour and had to stop because my husband made me dinner! Love it! And I have you ‘properly’ linked on my page.
Did it a long time ago because I wanted to be sure I kept reading.
Would you like to hear about my latest Target endcap find? A box of 25 printable wedding invitations in powder blue with laser cut overlays and response cards included… for $2.49. I can use them for ANYTHING! They are so pretty… and so cheap! 
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for the reminder. I completely forgot. Your link is officially updated!
I updated!!! Thanks for mentioning it, because it really never occurred to me to do it until you said something…I changed my own bookmark but didn’t think about my favorites sidebar listing!
I do believe I changed my subscription to your new address the very first day. Or maybe it was the second.
I changed your address a long time ago. I’m a good girl like that.
i changed your address on my blog roll awhile back. thanks for the contest. a $20 Target gift card would be fab!
I did it right when you changed your address…I am a bit ocd about maintaining my blog roll!
Hi! I think I added you to my sidebar after you switched over so I have nothing to do. *taps fingers on desk*
~Michelle
changed your address in my reader immediately, but forgot about the sidebar link until your lovely reminder.
thanks!
Just updated the address in reader…love your new look too!
I already changed it! By the way, I’m lovin’ your black cabinets…if only I could talk hubby into it.
I changed it a while back my friend!
P.S. I’m considering painting my kitchen cabinets black, this has NOTHING to do with this post, but that’s just how I roll. Ok. K. Ok. Thanks
Ok I fixed it and I now subscribe too. Enter me I love Target.
I am now following youuuu!
Now, I’m going to get reading the rest of your posts…
Since I changed my own blog AFTER you changed yours, your addy is current! Otherwise it probably would have been the old one! You’re so smart to put the word out.
Jackie
Wow – you are awesome to do this kind of giveaway – I updated my Google Reader account when you changed your address awhile back.
Made the change to my sidebar..thanks for the reminder!
I subscribed today for the first time, but I’ve been following you for a looooong time.
I love your website and I am glad you did the move. I am learning a lot from your website and I have it on my sidebar.
Thanks for every post, we love them all at http://www.zcouple.com
Yeah, I did it. A looooong time ago. Rock. It. Out. And even though I could be all nice and say “Oh, don’t worry about entering me in the giveaway… I’m just happy to let you know my link is working,” I’m not going to. I want the money. Just being honest.
I have subscribed, I’m new to subscribe but I love your blog.
Sign me up!
I was up late reading your archives the other night! (Surfed over from the Nester.) I love your blog! And I just added both of you to my sidebar, because I was way overdue updating it. And I know EXACTLY what I would get at Target with a spare $20. Something to beautify my house!
i updated you in my reader soon after you made the switch..didn’t want to miss anything!
LOL – what a terrific idea for incentive! Amazing what people will do with a little bit of that…
I changed you a while ago, and just dropped by today to see how you were doing. I entered the contest you posted the other day after quite a bit of thought and a feeling that if I didn’t win, at least God was solidifying something He’s been calling me to for a while now. Thanks for putting it out here – I appreciated the chance to think about it!
Hope you’re well,
~K
I changed the address the first time I clicked and got rerouted! Thanks!
Subscribing today! Found your blog through your sisters. I love the way you have each post divided, so artsy!
I changed my link a while back. If I were to win, I would use the money to buy Big Bunny some food. Don’t deny Big Bunny. Sure, she has a little extra weight, but that doesn’t mean she should starve.
I just added your link to my blog so it is all sparkly new and correct!
I did it today, March uh darn I have no idea what day but it is a Tuesday towards the end of March. LOL Gosh I really am crazy!! Sorry haven’t been to blogland because it became on obsession but decided I would take a little trip to blogland today.
I updated your address on my sidebar awhile ago. Thanks for the giveaway, I adore Target especially those little red clearance stickers.
Hi Emily! I just added you to my blog list in my side bar! I usually click over from your sister’s site, but I am happy to share your wonderfulness with others! Blessings!
Hello! I’ve been looking at your blog for a while, just not following…but I am now!! I am a little obsessively in love with the black cabinets. (Just like the other thousands of comments above me..lol) I can not get up the nerve to do my own so I think I am going to start with painting an armoire black first and see how that goes.
I subscribed today! I love your blog!
oh my goodness – looky what a Target gift card will do. i changed it even before you went public.
ha
Done forever ago! You’re in my side bar!
I had your blog on my sidebar awhile back and then had to redo mine and never added all of them back.
But I am back, and I am adding it back today!!
(Do I win b/c I used the word “back” more than anyone thought humanly possible?)
I changed it aaaaaages ago!
I have you on my Bloglines sidebar (is that feeds?) and I switched shortly after you switched.
Melanie
I totally missed this post and a chance for a target card, but I had you changed a long time ago! I am on top of it.
You have been updated! I love your site. . .thanks for sharing.
I am an avid lurker and changed my feed a long time ago!
I of course updated your feed in my Reader right away! I do still have the old one in there too, so I will clean that up. Love this place! =]
I subscribed today! I have been painstakingly typing your address in each day hoping for a new post. Your posts are like a breath of fresh air!
I changed your address in my bookmarks…love your site, and your sister’s too, and many of the sites both of you link, as well!
Mine is current! Love your site, and your honesty about where your heart is, and the fact that you share what God speaks to you is so encouraging and challenging to me! You are an absolute blessing!
did some clicking and updated my blog with your correct address.
Hi! I’ve just started reading lately so I’ve always had the updated address (color me special, I guess?).
I love your and your sister’s blogs!
Hi!
I just starting reading your blog recently; I love it! So, I guess I am no longer a lurker, huh?
Your blog is listed on my sidebar; correctly!
~Julie
You have been correct in my sidebar since, like, day two of your new place! I actually feel up to date on something. Which is good, since I just realized how NOT up to date I am on reading your posts! ACK!
Oh, and I follow (read: stalk) you, too. I hardly ever click my sidebar anymore, which makes it all the more miraculous that I have it updated! : )
I have already updated your address! I didn’t want to miss anything! Thanks so much for your thoughtful post!
Stacy
Changed it when you first switched over. Afraid to lose you if I didn’t! And I couldn’t have that happen!!
I love your blog! Will make sure I have the right address!
changing it RIGHT NOW
! But only because you asked so nice and not for the $20 sweet Target dollars at all.
Loving the photography in the first post.
Great giveaway..thanks! I subscribed to your rss feed today. Am looking forward to staying “caught up” with your blog!
I am so in love with your kitchen! I actually updated your addy the first day you change your address! I read your post on the old blog and made sure I changed it right away!!!! I love Target!!!!! Pick me pick me!
Happy Thursday!
~Abigail
I changed it long time ago.
LOL at Kimba shutting the internet down tomorrow!
Thanks! I hadn’t realized the address had changed, so I’ve got it now. (And I’m totally jealous of your day at the beach. Oh, how I miss it!
I’m adding you to my ‘check these out’ list.
I love catching up with you. Your words inspire and your black cabinets make my heart patter!
I love Target, I updated you in my sidebar.
Oh this is a great idea on how to get people to update links!
I updated you on my blogroll and on my subscription.
I updated your link ages ago, just ’cause I connect with your writing and didn’t want to miss one iota. God bless!
Michelle
Your up-dated address is here http://ldhblogroll.blogspot.com/
…I saw that smile
I think I must have discovered you after you moved b/c this is the only address I have for you! And I subscribe in my Google Reader. I love that thing! And I love your site!
