I'm In The Spotlight!

Hello and Happy Spring Holidays to all!

Today, I am stepping out from behind my tulips for just a little bit in a guest post at Junk Chic Cottage. I am being featured in Kris' Saturday Spotlight series and I am just thrilled!

Kris is truly one of the loveliest ladies I have met during my blogging journey. She is super kind and a fabulous decorator to boot. Her unique cottage style and creativity are truly inspiring and I look forward to every post.

If you have a chance pop by and check our her really cool dishwasher cover while you're there. It really is amazing!

Hippity, Hoppity!

      I am not a morning person, at all, Laura! I think that means we will be great friends! ;)

    Hi Kim! I'm visiting from Kris' spotlight feature on you. She's such a great friend, and featured me over a year ago. It's been such a nice way to meet new bloggers. I've come over to your blog and enjoyed your Christmas and summer garden tours a lot, but still can't figure out which beach coast you're located on. I live in West Virginia, the northernmost southern state, and southernmost northern state, the one often confused with Virginia for those geography-challenged. ;-)

      Hi Rita! Thanks so much for the visit. Kris is truly the sweetest and I am so flattered that she asked me to be in the spotlight. It really was a thrill. I love your description of your state! I am a rather shy girl when it comes to sharing about myself. I even hide my face behind my tulips! In real life, I am actually very outgoing, on the internet, not so much.

      Kris’ spotlight feature was fun to do…I’m not big on personal stuff and backstory…and despite your very nice comment, I hate pictures of myself. I much prefer hiding behind my tulips!
