A blog about blogging that I read all the time, ProBlogger, has created a discussion about who your “blog crush” is. Basically it is a way to give some online admiration to a fellow blogger who you really admire. Sounds good to me. And as a side note it pretty funny to see all the guy bloggers trying not to say which of their buddies they have a “crush” on. =:)
Despite trying to narrow my crush down to just one, I just have to name three cool, dynamic women I am listing as my blog crushes:
Angie Pedersen, The Blog of ME
Angie’s quest to get us all to scrap about OURSELVES is near and dear to my heart. But what I love about her blogging is that she does it with gusto. She does it like a real pro, finding great stuff, linking well and making comments that enrich my day just reading her blog. This post about her scrapbooking purse made me want one. When she said, “Fortunately I have a date with my husband tonight, so I get to take out my new purse and show it off. (neener)” it made me want to know her.
Shai Coggins, ShaiCoggins
First of all, Shai’s cool name is so crush-worthy. Then the fact that she is a writer, artist, published author, professional blogger, podcaster, online instructor, consultant, publisher, wife, and mum with a Masters Degree in Applied Psychology and still has time to challenge the rest of us to post 1000 blog entries just makes me want to BE her. (Oh, and she is a scrapbooker too - in her SPARE TIME!)
Carolyn Wheeler, CropChic
I love that Carolyn works on a wide variety of projects and posts them in her gallery with you-can-do-it instructions that make me feel like I really CAN do it. It is like having a cheerleader friend right in the room with you. Plus her post on how she loves die cuts endeared me to her early on.
So, there are my blog crushes. Which bloggers do you admire? Whose blog do you read - no matter what?

Awww! One of the Chosen Three! You’re so sweet! And I love that comment, “it made me want to know her”. Aww!
I need to post new pics of my purse — I’ve changed the inserts twice since then. Now I’m sporting leopard print! Rawr!

Darren Rouse has been talking about Blog Crushes over at ProBlogger: …I’m suggesting we make the next 7 days about naming our Blog Crushes. Do you have a crush on another blogger? I don’t mean an actual crush - rather

Blog Crushin'
I've written about Darren's Blog Crush project in this article, but I haven't managed to mention it here. I've been meaning to, that's why I'm here now. :-) Unfortunately, the project seems to have "died down"…
