Exciting Things Happening in Blogland!

I found a few amazing things this weekend around the blogosphere and thought it would be irresponsible and just plain mean not to share them with you. So...


Remember when I talked about wanting to carry around thank you cards for distributing at will? Well Carina from crow and canary had the same brilliant idea and will be giving away thank you cards at the end of each month of 2010!!! If you're not familiar with her blog let me emphasize how awesome this is because Carina has the best taste in paper goods and always has beautiful giveaways! Head over here to enter the giveaway and check out her blog.

I also discovered on Pugh's News a WAY COOL book swap happening this month. Kateigh from {poprocks} & photographs is doing a book swap with some meaning behind it. It's not just an ordinary share-a-good-recommendation-with-a-stranger, but instead focuses on sharing a book that is personally meaningful to you. The idea is to put a little piece of yourself out in the world. Also, for each person who signs up, Kateigh will donate a book to her local children's shelter! I just signed up and I'm so excited about it. Go here before January 20 to join the swap.

And if you're anything like me, you started failing miserably at keeping your new year goals about 20 minutes after you thought them up. The ladies of 2010: The Best Year Ever understand. That's why they began a blog entirely devoted to helping you keep your goals and resolutions. It's full of ideas for staying dedicated, inspiration, and they'll even help you find an accountability buddy. If you want a little help this year, head over here to get started.

  7. So if I share a book with you that's really special to me, does that count??? I have a few children's books that are uber special cause they were from Grandma Webb's house and they are from the 50's. As a little girl, I remember sitting on the floor in grandma's parlor, pouring over them. It didnt matter that I couldn't read yet, I just oooh-ed and aaah-ed over the pretty illustrations. They gave them to me when they came to meet Josie a couple of summers ago!!!! If it counts, I will share with you! Love you!
