With Christmas just around the corner and the New Year not far behind, we're all consumed with thoughts of celebration, family, friends and food. In the midst of all this, we were struck by the idea of those "be thankful" season's greetings that seemed only too appropriate.

This year has been overwhelming in the best possible way and we hope that all our readers can say the same. For our part, we are most thankful for our family and friends and that includes those of you who never fail to drop by for a sweet message or feedback on a story. It really makes us feel like we're sharing our stories, photographs and ideas with our girlfriends. So we have decided that we will be running this section quite regularly from now on. 

On that  note, a special shout out to Nataliya Ogle (Style Tomes), Krissy (The Dainty Dolls House), Valerie (Rodesque) and the mastermind over at The Fashion Panda. These girls have some great content and certainly worth checking out! 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful start to the New Year.
