«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 373 Newer› Newest»Wow! You went all out! You have such good taste. Congrats on your full year of blogging! Enjoyed being allowed a peek into your life!
Wow! Congrats on your year of blogging. Look at all you've accomplished. I posted my very first post on Nov.16,'08, just 16 days after you started. It's been a great year for me meeting talented women, such as yourself. Your giveaway looks awesome, but the best gift is you, sharing your dreams and talents with all of us!
What a lovely, generous give a way Melissa. Can you believe how time has flown. It seems that alot of us started our blogs at about the same time. I know that Debbie (at Plate Addict) encouraged me to start mine. And I think alot of us got our feet wet (so to speak) at RMS. It really has been wonderful getting a glimpse of your life and your beautiful home. Kathy

Greetings from Munich,
Birgit
Thanks for visiting my blog. I meant to ask you before - what is the color on the wall in your family room? If you don't remember, could you send me a better picture? I've been trying to decide on a color for ours that will go with our couch and from the tiny picture it looks like it would work. The green we ended up with looks too minty in certain light.
Thanks!
Julie
