WOOT - gotta love my fellow bloggers!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted - my boss was in town, and it was a very busy week! I'm so lucky to have blogger friends like you - I just wanted to give a shout out!

So for those of you who LOVE to read, both books and plentiful blog posts, I highly recommend that you follow THE BOOK RESORT! She is a BookWorm fan, and she's posted the nicest review of her BookWormz HERE - you should definitely give it a peek! I love that she reviews just the kinds of books that are so fun to read (Twighlight anyone?), and she is a super active member of the blogging community. She leaves lots of comments which make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! :)

The second blog recommendation I have today is KEEP THIS ON THE DL! She's an American living in Italy, and is currently giving away two BookWormz HERE! First, we're very grateful that she's ok after that horrible earthquake in Italy, and second, she's MORE than ok, since yesterday was her 25th BIRTHDAY!!! :) She writes book reviews and funny, cute little tidbits about her life.



Check these two awesome bloggers out today - I don't think you'll regret it! :) This weekend should be a very busy one for me (helping to host a baby shower, 30th birthday dinner and Easter!), but I'm REALLY going to try to get the "Handle With Care" review up! Ok, have a great day, all! :)

I've been TAGGED and AWARDED!!!

Hooray! I have two new friends! Times and Chimes and Creative Nachos who have made me feel so *special* today!! :) I'm going to combine them, since I got two in one day. Times and Chimes tagged me, which means I have to reveal 8 random things about myself and then "tag" 8 other bloggers. Creative Nachos gave me the "FABULOUS BLOG" award, which means I have to share 5 addictions with you... (gulp) and then award 5 other blogs! When I tag you, feel free not to participate - I just feel like it's really fun! So here goes:

My First Post!!

Hi All! Thanks for stopping by my lil blog! I've never blogged before, but I'm really excited (ok, and a little nervous) to get started! So the theme of this blog, at least at this point, will be to discuss books that I've read, get book recommendations from friends, and share feedback with each other about books, crafts, business - really whatever we want to talk about! I will admit from the start that I use excessive exclamation points, and prob too many smiley emoticons as well. I'll apologize now... :)

Stay tuned, and more to come! While you're here - check out my website! I make the coolest and most functional bookmarks you'll ever see! :)
