Kindred Spirits Countdown to Christmas

Nicole of Colette's Cottage recently guest posted on Live Creating Yourself's Countdown to Christmas feature ... and she named "Tasteful Decor: Peppermint Candy" as her favorite holiday post!

Thank you, Nicole! I've been blogging for a little over a month now, and I'm still at the point where every single comment is cause for excitement. So a mention on another blog? Thrilling!

I love reading Colette's Cottage because she posts great pictures, and is very funny, to boot. She was in good company in the Kindred Spirits Countdown posts -- other guest bloggers include Sherry and John of Young House Love, Ashley of Smitten Design, and Ashley of Decorology. Ooooh, these are some of my most favorite blogs! I can't wait to see who else will be making an appearance!!

And, now that I've admitted to the thrill I get from comments, I'll also admit that I get a thrill from followers, links, page visits ... you name it. So if you're here, reading this, leave a comment! Show me your blog (or, if you don't have one of your own, ones you like to read).

Remember how the new kid at school would sit alone in the lunch room for the first couple of days? That was me.

But now I feel like the table is filling up. We're even trading desserts (that's a metaphor for linking to other blogs. I'm trying, here). So, keep coming by. Bring friends. Introduce yourself and stay for a while. Maybe soon, we'll be dancing on the tables!

(Side note: Seriously, what is going on in this picture?!?! Superstock has some weird photos.)

p.s. Nicole, though I like number 5 on your list (for obvious reasons), number 6 is the cutest of all!
