Ummmm…..hello?
It’s me here.
Two posts in one day…..seriously. You’d think it was 2013 or something. 
But there’s a really good reason.
See that blank space with the question mark?
Just insert this smiling face in there.
I am so excited to be here with these four amazing bloggers….Amanda and Anita and Linsey and Samantha.
They picked me!
Can you believe it? I’m the guest host…..and I don’t even have a pair of boots!
I’m not sure what to do first. Lasso up some vittles? Put on a pot of chili for the ranch hands? Saddle up my horse to check the fences?
Or sing Yellow Rose of Texas.
Maybe not the best of ideas…..I want us all to still be friends.
Here’s Anita with all the party details.
Here’s the features from last week’s party selected by
Anita of
Cedar Hill Ranch
White Lace Cottage shared her lovely white kitchen
The Decorating Diaries shared projects with aged paper, how cool is that?
Design Dreams by Anne recapped her favorite projects of the year
Betsy Spert shared her guest room, but don’t expect to stay there!
She’s not keen on overnight guests.
(Betsy, if I were your overnight guest, I promise I would stay in this room and not bother you until until afternoon.)

The Backyard Bungalow showed up a darling bedspring wreath, can you say CREATIVE?
One Creative Couple shared their top posts of 2012
Now about this week’s party… You link up on my blog and your link shows up on FIVE blogs.
We are looking for the latest and greatest projects, tutorials, ideas, crafts, recipes, decor, and inspiring stories. Anything that you are proud to show off.
The four of us are all Texas bloggers, but you don’t have to be Texas, country, western, or own horses to participate in Cowgirl Up! You just need that “can-do”, cowgirl spirit!
(Please read the guidelines before participating)

congrats on being the guest hostess
I have nothing cool to link up (so sad)
Projects came to a screeching halt at Thanksgiving time due to us both working 12-14 hours a day through Christmas. I had 1001 projects planned for while we were on vacation but didn’t do much except relax and play with the kids. Maybe I could do a post about how to snuggle on the couch with your kindle??
Congrats on the guest hosting!….I would love to sit by the campfire with you in my boots, eating your great chili and singing the “Yellow Rose of Texas”!!!…Great party!
I vote for…. maybe not make chili, how about…. probably not sing since I remember the story from your youth…. so saddle up and ride!
Bliss
I have nothing to link, but 2013 is the year I get crafty!
