Beauty And The Belief

I just got my copy of

Romantic Homes.

 I used to get

A LOT

of magazines delivered

on a monthly basis.

I have let many of them expire.

The one, however, that

I have NEVER let lapse is

Romantic Homes.

Since I started blogging I

have been amazed at how

many women I "know"

that have been featured here in

one way or another.

I wonder how many of them

EVER EVER thought that

they would make the

pages of this beautiful

publication?

I think that not only do they have

 BEAUTY

 in their lives

they have the

BELIEF

 that they can do this.

That they can take what they

do to the next level

and give something back

to all of us.

The really GREAT thing is

that not only do I follow each

and every one of these gals~

sometimes they take time out

of their busy schedules to visit

little old me.

ME~A person that blogs about

family (okay and a bit of

nonsense) and not about

decorating.

I just wanted to give a nod

to these special gals.

If you don't follow their blogs

you might want to pop over and take

a visit.

You'll be hooked.

Cynthias Cottage Design

not only has a beautiful home

but she has beautiful miniature homes.

It makes me want to shrink down to

about a 6" height and move into her

"little cottage".

I suppose then I could get a

write up, too, huh?

Lookie here....

Now is that sweet, or what?

Almost as sweet as she is.

Next up is Elyse Major

over at

TinkeredTreasures

She has such great eye candy

AND

She has a beautiful featured project...

Valentine Crackers...

Now, I'm not saying

I'm any Elyse Major

but do you notice that my

Christmas socks wrapping

looks VERY similar?

Huh?

copycar-copycat-copycat!;>)

Who said I didn't know what's

going on?

Quiet!  I heard that-and

you know who you are!

Finally,

There's Janet Coon.

Her blog is

ShabbyFufu

And I have to tell you

that it's not too shabby!

It's pretty lovely, actually.

Pop over there to see

it for yourself.

How about you?

Do you have

BELIEF in YOURSELF?

Do you believe that you, too,

are an important part of this

blogging world?

You know, even if we are

not "big timers" we are

important here.

Important as followers,

and friends,

and soul sisters.

SO...

I think I have finally found

MY WORD

for the year.

BELIEVE!

I believe!

I believe I can!

I believe I should!

I believe I will!

How about you?
