With all that the internet now allows one to do I have considered going private for quite some time. I feel as if I have really built up my blog and have so many wonderful readers. I do not want to leave anyone out, so what are your thoughts on this matter? I know some of you have recently made the same choice and I would love to hear what you have to say. Also, if you would like to continue reading please leave a comment with your email so that I can add you to my list if and when I decide where to go with this. This is your one and only chance to keep following the fabulous life of Hopsy (do not forget I have several fabulous giveaways coming up soon too)!

i've pondered the thought of going private as well but i'm staying for now!
if you do go OF COURSE i want to be on the list!

Add me please.
while I understand why some people go private. I myslef, don't like it. It is frustrating to be a lurker on a blog and then all of a sudden you can't read anymore because they have gone private and you have no way of getting in touch with them that you still want to read. But if you do go private, please include me.
Be sure to add me!
KP, I've been thinking of it for myself as well. As a matter of fact I began the process this morning, but didn't complete it. I think I will though.

Please consider adding me if you do go private. I recently found your blog & enjoy it, but it's understandable if you don't want strangers here. I just entered the blogging world myself and may well take things private at some point. Thanks.
oh - my email is legallyblondemel @ yahoo dot com
I completely understand (I am private). I would love to be included in your list.

I think it would be nice to be private, but I think I would like to build up some more readers first. You seem to have a lot of readers, so I can see why you would want to! Be sure to add me- mshoundstooth@gmail.com

I am making mine private because it is about my family and the purpose of it is to keep my family and friends connected. I don't really want to expose my daughter to everyone on the internet.
Will you add me? Lillemiss@aol.com
Thanks.
I'd like an invite if you go private! You should do whatever you are most comfortable with.

I love your blog, please include me on your list if you decide to go private:
pinkmapledesign@gmail.com
I certainly understand your interest in doing so now that you have built up a loyal readership :) Although I have to say that I enjoy discovering random, new public blogs via my google reader's recommendations and going private may deprive potential new readers of the pleasure of reading your blog!
KP-
I support and understand your reasons for going private. I did the same thing awhile back. The more intimate you become with your readers the more you want to share, and as much as you trust your blog-girlfriends there are those out there who are just not to be trusted. HOWEVER, if you were private I (and many of these other cute sweet ladies) would not have found you!! So good luck and please keep me on your list, xo

I've never commented before but I really enjoy your blog, so please add me to the list :)
I am new to blogging and came across your blog through friends. I have really enjoyed your postings. Please add me to your list.
While I understand the allure of going private, I hope you don't! I have such a hard time keeping up with private blogs because they don't show up in my bloglines...if you do decide to do it, I hope I can keep reading along!
I hated to go private...but I'm just not good at censoring myself, so I like knowing who my audience is. I'd love to keep reading!
preppymoneypenny@gmail.com
I went private, but missed all the new readers so I went back--I'm just extra careful. If you go private, please keep me!
You MUST take me with you.

iheartpinkandgreen@yahoo.com
Private or not I want to keep up on your adventures. PS - I am a veteran of the Lilly warehouse sale. I have been to Spring and Fall many times. You are going to have a blast! If by chance you are a size 6 (the sample size) it is definitely worth getting up at the crack of dawn to get in line, or even sleeping in line!
Have fun, and hopefully I will see you there.
Oh, and add me if you go private, please! emilyregan@gmail.com
Thanks, Emily
Oh - and I forgot to mention. I am such a fan, because I too grew up in Central and South America, and am one of the biggest Lilly fans out there. In fact, I had the privilege of touring their HQ last fall. Simply amazing!!
Thanks again, Emily

My only problem with going private is that you can no longer read private blogs on google reader. I forget who has gone private and don't always check those. I totally understand the privacy issue though
I went private, and feel free to use my blog as a journal and say whatever I want. I love your blog, and would like to continue to keep reading it please.

Please add me! I have a private blog (that only my husband reads) that I use as a journal to capture little moments in the day-to-day lives of our girls. Not sure what I'd do in your case. I wouldn't have found you if you were private, but it might be a safer option... hard call.

Please add me if you go private! Love your blog. I do not post to one...just read my favorites. One of my dearest friends (Sarah) is a younger sister to Margaret Miller of Camp Greystone. We live in small town in KY together. We toured Camp Greystone the summer of 07, then my 7 yr old and Sarah's daughter attended Jr. Camp together this past June. Loved it! We are signed up already for 3 week camp in June of 2009. Love the early bird program! Also, love your blog!
