Well chickees...this is my 99th post! Holy crap, I'm not kidding. Interesting, because I started this blog in May, and only had about 20 posts in my first four months. Shows you how into this bloggy stuff I got in about...September or so?
For my 100th post I have a very cute (but small) giveaway to give to one of you. Can't wait to show you. It's not really a big deal, just fun. :)
What's with me just DYING to take down Christmas early this year? I usually wait till the 1st or after but I have been chomping at the BIT to get it down this year. What's the deal? I can barely wait to get it up and LOVE it during the season. There is just something about this time of year though too -- the clean, fresh house. I swear I fall it love with our home all over again right after the holidays. It's so cleared out and simple.
So Jules over at The Roost is having a fun New Year's Party that I thought would be fun to join. I put a different spin on it though, and picked the top ten commented posts to highlight here for your pleasure. (Or to help you take a nap, whatever works.)
Heeeeeeeere we GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
No. 9: My chocolate powder room.
No 8: My BFF Goodwill.
No. 7: My millions of projects.
No. 4: Big Fat Honkin' Monogram.
No. 3: The Favorite Things Party.
No. 2: One of my favorite before and afters.
No. 1: HoHoHo transformation.
Well there you go ladies! A year -- well, eight months, in review. I hope you have enjoyed reading as much as I have enjoyed writing and sharing. Here's to another year of fun ideas and tons o' comments!
Happy New Year!!

Thanks for the Top Ten. Now, I'm gonna have to take some time to read all those old posts. Great idea about the Christmas tags -- wish we had Hobby Lobby where I live. I found a large envelope full of sweet, vintage Christmas cards for 39 cents at Goddwill. Check it out here:http://vintagesquirrel.blogspot.com/2008/12/todays-goodwill-wares.html

I L-O-V-E LOVE your laundry room!! I've been thinking for awhile now about re-doing my laundry room. Was just waiting until after the holidays and a few other projects. I love everything you did!
Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Love, love, love your laundry room, and that big, fat honkin' monogram! Hey, I just looked up and saw that Amber has love, love, love for your laundry room too. I'm sure you're wishing we could come over and do laundry for you - fat chance! LOL! Happy New Year and may 2009 be full of all the things you love!
