Holiday reading guide 2009 

Dear readers gather round. Time for the third installment in our holiday reading guide. I hope you're not too exhausted from your blog hopping. No! If you're anything like me you can't get enough of new blogs.  It's like chocolate coated almonds at Christmas time. Too many is never enough. Here we go ......

Dear Jo,

Thank you so much for including my blog. I have been enjoying getting to know all of the others over the last couple of days and feel honored to be amongst so much creativity.

Happy New Year!

These Reading Guide posts have been great — I'm discovering so many excellent new blogs! Thanks for putting them together. I'd love to see a fourth one. Happy New Year!

Thanks so much for the shout out! I have been a long time reader.

Oh wow! Thank you so much for including me on your list... i've been looking forward to your picks because you introduced me to so many wonderful blogs last year... can't wait to take a look through all of them tonight! Hope you had a great Christmas!

What a lovely Christmas present: to have my blog included in your list! Thanks so much. Now I must run and have a look at the other blogs! Thanks for taking the time to put them together.

Hope you had a very merry Christmas and all the best for 2010!

Love that first kitchen with the giant chalkboard. My kids would be over the moon for something like that.

Also, LOVE your blog.

Happy, healthy 2010.

xo,

I can not say enough how much of a thrill it was to be included in your guide! Desire to Inspire was one of the very reasons I started my blog... so I'm just thrilled, thank you very much! Oh and thank you for pointing me in the direction of so many good blogs too, looking forward to exporing them all!

I'm slowly making my way through your blog recs, and have found one or two to add to my favorites. What I'm discovering mostly, is how lucky I was to locate DesireToInspire! The sheer tonnage of well-researched posts, rather than visual spaghetti thrown up to fill space, the dedication and warmly professional approach as contrasted to the -- hey! look at this! its like fung shui! approach -- you two are truly marvels in what suddenly seems to be a very crowded blog market. Vogue vs. The Sun. I'm probably one of the most vocal 'neh, that didn't work' commentors, but I would like to be very clear: what you do is important, and the way you do it is extraordinary and inspiring. Thank you.

Thank YOU oregonbird, one of our more brutally honest and colourful commentators. :)

Thank you so much Jo and Kim! I can't believe it has been three years since I first stumbled across Jo's Flickr page and from there your great blog.

Wow! How amazing to see my little blog included! Thanks so much guys. I'm off to check out all the others.

Happy holidays.

Oh, I'm flattered! Seriously, I'm blushing...

29 Dec 09 | Unregistered CommenterMs. Jenn

WOW! Super thank you for the mention :) I'm so happy to also be in your blogroll! Thank ladies!

Thanks for all of these great blogs, I'm working my way through them right now. I already read 31 everything. It's wonderful

Thank you so much for featuring my blog. I would like to take this occasion to thank you for your blog which is a great inspiration to me with my renovations. Thanks!
During this holiday break, we did a lot of improvement in our house and mostly in our kitchen that will soon be featured on our blog. So be sure to check it out!
ps. Happy New year and lots of love and inspiration to everyone
