Mr. Bond Himself, Daniel Craig

Well it was close this week, and truth be told, I was hoping for hunky (did I just say hunky lol) Edward Norton.  But, you chose Daniel Craig, so I hope you enjoy the photos of Mr. 007!

This week has been so much fun!  I can't believe I'm up to 625 followers!  It truly makes my day to get new followers and read comments from all of you.  I love blogging and hope it comes across in my posts!

Love Returns...

Here we are again on a Monday morning ready to pick back up with the guest series on love. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for a fantastic week! I am so excited to have my friend Kristin from the adorable Bon Bon Rose Girls blog contribute today. If you haven't been over to her blog yet, you have to rush there and tell her I sent you! Kristin is sweet, creative, talented, fun, and has an amazing sense of what people want to see.

Here is her post...enjoy!

Hi there. I'm super excited to be sharing what love means to me with you lovely readers today! When I think of love, the first thing that comes to my mind is family. While my life is filled to the brim with many passions like fashion, writing, baking, traveling etc...My family will forever hold the most important place in my heart. I am beyond blessed to be married to my soul mate and to be the mama of a most amazing little person! What can I say? The hubs and the dude make my world go 'round!

Hello sweets! I'm Torie Jayne and I am honoured to be here today guest posting about love on the adorable Kori's blog, Blonde Episodes. My post today highlights my many loves, from photography to baking and candy making.

When I saw the "I love you" ribbon in a cute shop in Berlin i knew i just had to get some for today's post. How else was I going to include some of my many birds that adorn my house?! This is the first blog outing of my bird chandelier that adorns my dining room table, that is when my dining room is not covered in candy and cakes for a holiday theme, which I love doing! My other great love is sequins, from the cushions on my sofa to the vintage sparkly ones hiding in my wardrobe.

Have a sweet day!

What is Love? Guest Series Day 2

We continue on today with another guest post on one of my favorite topics--love. I am so excited to have one of my favorite bloggers, Nicolette of Simply Colette guest write today. If you haven't discovered Colette's wonderful blog yet, you have to rush over and check it out! Tell her I sent you when you do! Colette is the reason I ever participated in NaNoWriMo and ended up writing my first novel. I love Colette's blog because you can tell in her posts that she really loves blogging and meeting people through her blog. Not only is she beautiful, but a talented photographer and a very sweet friend! Ok, enough gushing, here is her post! Enjoy!

Symptoms of Blog Love


Find yourself thinking about what your blog pals are up to during the day? Find yourself anxious to make your daily rounds or get your fix of blogging central... wondering what today's post will be? Well baby, your not the only one.

Do you catch yourself thinking, "I sooo have to blog this?"
Do you whip out your camera for every event, even meals or while driving (shh) like I do?
Do you think, "I can't wait to share this?"
Editing in your head, asking yourself is this something I'm comfortable with the whole world reading/ knowing?
Creating posts in your head, when you should be sleeping?
Clicking refresh on your Stat page every so often? Get excited when you have a new daily view record?

Well my friend, you my be suffering from "Blog Love."

I was diagnosed with Blog Love 18 months ago, and have been living with it ever since...

The evolvement of Blog Love to Self-Love...
Love Only a Blogger Could Understand

What starts out as mere curiously of: what is a blog? Quickly turns to creative evny. Thinking: I can do that! I want to blog! The hunt for unique ways to share creativity with others around the world beings. Building friendships through comments, as people relate and reach out. You learn about these friends through daily posts of images, thoughts, and art. Following your favorite bloggers, like reading your daily dose of TMZ or UsWeekly. Witnessing how the internet and social networking can make entrepenuerial dreams come true, doing and sharing what you love, understand that the only way to survival is by being unique and true to one's character. Seeing confidence in women spread worldwide like a viral disease, by simply being themselves... making their mark. Finding one's niche, obsessing to become better with each post and loving every minute of it. Loving the friendships of those who've followed you since day one; to meeting awesome new women daily! That is the kind of love only a blogger can understand.
