Help me Reach 100 Followers!!!!!

I have been writing my blog for over a year now. It has been a real love/hate relationship for the most part. I am not what you call "computer savvy" so it has been a real learning curve for me. I have gained a lot of "blog" knowledge over the year and I am gearing up to make some changes to my blog as well as my business in general. I am pretty excited!!! One thing that would make my little heart just soar would be getting 100 people to follow my blog!! I know that is ambitious, but I think I can do it!

So, all of you loyal readers, thank you for your support, and be sure to tell your friends and family to sign up. I may start giving away fabulous prizes!!! I would hate for you to miss out!!!

Christmas Decor!!!!

I wish I could say that all these lovelies are from my own home!!! But, they are not! (I had a minor light issue and have to replace a strand or two before I snap pictures of my own home!!!) My decorations have been up for over a week and I love every bit of it!!! So, to tide you all over until I get my own pictures on here, I found these great Christmas pictures from a few of my favorite blogs: http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/ and http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/blog/. Both extremely talented women and great bloggers!

I am currently working on some new ideas for Spire Design Group, the blog as well as the business. I hope to launch a few of them in the next few weeks as well as the first of the year. So stay tuned for updates.

And...if you are not a "follower" of this blog, SIGN UP!!! My goal is to get 100 followers by January 1, 2010!! Please help me reach my goal!!!!

Have you done any Christmas decorating yet??? What have you done so far????

New Blog Find

I read a lot of blogs each day and I get especially excited when I find a new one!! Thought I would share it with you...http://pinkwallpaper.blogspot.com/ Be sure to check it out!! Great pictures!!

Two New Finds...

Pictures from WhiteFlower Farmhouse

I love to read blogs that are written by designers. They give me inspiration and hope that someday my blog can be as fabulous as their blogs are!! I love when I read a blog and find a new website or blog to add to my daily list. But what I really love is when I stumble upon a blog that introduces me to a new product or online boutique. Which just happened today! While reading http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/ I came across a website that makes me smile and squeal with delight!! (Yes, I still squeal with delight even at 31 years old!) For anyone who knows me, you know that I obsess over things that are distressed and old and have been brought back to life with lots of love and care. Here is the website http://whiteflowerfarmhouse.com/index.html You must visit it and tell me what you think. Honestly, it just makes me so happy, I can't even contain myself right now. I am jumping up and down as I type!

Another great find on the Nesting Place blog was not interior design related, but is just something that I really thought looked interesting and I think I need to buy http://www.maggiewhitley.com/Home_Page.html. I think her stuff is so creative and fun and makes me want to pull my sewing machine out of the closet and kick that layer of dust off of it. Or, maybe just pull out my wallet and a credit card and place an order (depends on how ambitious I am). Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my new finds.
