I was SOOO surprised that literally hundreds of you took the time to give me feedback on the survey I posted a couple of weeks ago….and i’m very grateful for that! A big thank you!! Although I read all the comments that come in on a regular basis… I LOVED finding out a bit more about you and also your feedback and insight regarding the blog’s content, voice, and posting. I found it refreshing, insightful, encouraging, and well, funny…. actually. So… do you want to know the results? I thought so. Okay, a little bit about you:

If you enjoy reading this blog… would you be willing to answer a quick questionnaire? I’ve got some fun ideas for how to move forward for 2012 and I’m looking to find out a little more information about you and what you like. Come on…. This is exactly what you do on Fridays, right? Answer a few blog questions?!? GO RIGHT NOW. Also, feel free to leave some ideas or notes here in the comment section too. Thanks so much. I owe you two cookies and a kiss. FUN STUFF AHEAD.

Oh yea…Above is my personal instagram art. I’d like to call it *Instaglam* if you will. haha.

AHHH!!!! Merry Christmas!! I can’t believe it’s here.

Unfortunately I don’t always get to respond when people right in questions… It’s not because I don’t want to… I REALLY want to. But it’s that moment that I have to finish a project and I tell myself that I will get to it after… Ever been there? Anyway… I am hoping that maybe this post can make up for it? Please oh please!?!

Let me know any questions you have about anything in the comment section and let’s get the conversation started!!

Everyone likes to hear about new things. Especially from like minded people who like similar things. So, lets hear from you….do one or all of the following. 1. Link to a cool new website or company that you have found or like. 2. Give a shout out to an inspirational person or blog that you follow. Sound interesting? I am looking forward to clicking around.

Oh…Thats a picture of me kissing you for linking to amazing things. Happy Monday!!! IT’S MONDAY!! Lets make it a sharing, good, inspiring, and fresh Monday!

Oh…And I am not sure if you have noticed but I changed the blog categories around a bit. And there is a new category called “Reader mixer”. Yep!! Thats where I post things that you guys can MIX about and get to know each other. I was thinking the other day that I know a lot of really cool friends that don’t know each other… and then I thought about the blogging community. “Birds of a feather flock together” and I am SURE that you guys are all cool, doing amazing creative things, and you should know each other too. Thats why I made that category. Have fun. And don’t forget to post cool links in the comment section.

Love ya!

No picture today… I think this question can stand on its own. Ha ha.

Why are there so many girl bloggers? And not very many guy bloggers? Is it because girls talk to much? They like to chatter about stuff and things? Baby rooms, cooking tips, and new shoes?! And why don’t guys blog more? Just another thing “to-do”?!? You can only say so much about sports stats? haha JK JK JK!!! I know there are guy bloggers out there…. I know quite a few. But Seriously a SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE!!

Guys… if you have a blog or visit this blog… CHIME IN.
And girls… I’d love to hear your answer to this too.

Cant wait to read them

I just found about this amazing event that Utterly Engaged has organized. Such a cool idea. Details below.

FUNDRAISING
For Japan With Love has a direct link on the website to their fundraising page for ShelterBox. ShelterBox was one of THE first organizations asked by Japan to help and were on hand on the Saturday after the quake. Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items. Please check it out and whatever you can contribute will be so appreciated.
