Ultimate Blog Party 2010

I am so excited about the ULTIMATE Blog Party for 2010. I'm joining all the fun and you should, too! If you are new around here I'm a wife and work-at-home momma to a very active six year old, dubbed BBC (Boo Boo Chicken). I'm also a Director for Southern Living at HOME and in my spare time (giggle) I like to do stuff and write about it here.

My whole life I have been a Jill of All Trades and Master of None - so why should my blog be any different? Just like the Arkansas weather, if you don't like what you see out here today, stop over again tomorrow because you'll probably find something you'll like!

Here are some of the things you will find on my blog...

1. I Adore Door Decor! If there is one thing that I'm really known for it's my door decor. I change it out at least once a month. I find folks driving very slowly and goose-necking to look at what I've got going on my door!

2. I Love to KISS (Keep is Simple Sisters, that is) In this day and age who has time (or money) to fuss and muss? I share simple (and mostly frugal) ideas for decorating and entertaining that have lots of WOW factor.

3. Who's That Pretty Girl in the Window There? I'm a reforming people pleaser. I'm quirky with a dry sense of humor. I've always had to watch my weight. With all that going on, I have finally found after 30+ years that I've just gotta be me! So over here I try to keep it real. You may find pictures of fungus as art, coffee cups under cloches, little birdie tracks in the snow, an unfinished project, OR me without makeup. It's just me being me.

4. A Chip Off the Ol' Block... My high-energy, crafty and creative six year old son loves to do whatever his momma is doing. I swear I need to spin off a blog just for him! Together we share kid friendly ideas for projects, recipes, gifts, etc.

5. Thank You for Being a Friend! In 2010 my goal is to connect more than ever. I like getting to know different people and being inspired by others. That's the main reason I started this blog. I have met so many amazing people! Here are some actions I'm taking to help keep me accountable to my friends and followers in 2010:
To all my Southern Fried friends, thank you for sticking with me along the way! And for all you newbies, thanks for stopping over and checking me out! I hope you will consider following me on this Southern Fried journey!

Blessings to you!

I just became a follower. While we have some differences, I can really relate to being a master at none of the things I try, being a people pleaser, and the desire to meet and be inspired by other people's blogs. Thanks for giving me some inspiration.
