OhMyGoodness!!!

Your attention please.

Like I was saying...(or was I?). Oh my. My. Heart. Is. All. Afluttery! I can hardly contain myself. Our little blog has been getting quite the attention recently and my JunkSisters and I just can't wait to tell all! Two wonderful things, unforeseen by us.

The first is that we've been asked to enter our JunkFest blog in a new and exciting competition amongst decorating/junking bloggers. So You Think You Can Decorate? 10 Decorators 10 Challenges 10 Weeks

Now doesn't THAT sound exciting???!!! It's brought to us by Alchemy Junk, a great blog to check out.

I have to say, the competition is FIERCE! In fact, I don't consider them "competition", but sincerely feel honored to be considered worthy to be in their company. Here are the other nine decorators...(and believe me, their blogs are wonderful!)

The Shabby Chic Cottage
Flea Market Trixie
Welcome to the Turner Farm
Shabby Nest
WhisperWood Cottage
All Things Thrifty
Funky Junk Interiors
The Feminist Housewife
Miss Mustard Seed's Creative Blog

Now, mind you, I know I said their blogs are great and all...but I HOPE you vote for US too!!! :)

AND ANOTHER DRUMROLL PLEASE..........

On to the second awesome thing that happened to our little blog this week! C. Dianne Zweig, (known as the Kitschy Collector) An Editor of IAntiqueonline.com, free lance writer, and guest editor of blogs.com, has included us in the TOP 10 BEST JUNK COLLECTOR BLOGS!!! I'm so, so sorry but I couldn't get any buttons or photos to load for these links...but check them out anyway! Again, we're not worthy and we are in some very good company! Here they are....

Artsy Fartsy Junk Finds
Elegant Thrifter
Funky Junk Sisters

So there you have it, not one, but TWO awesome honorlicious (my word!) fabulous pats on the back. I've been working tirelessly trying to get ready for you all....heck, I've changed my profile picture THREE times!!! I just want to look my best!

And here's the ME that I ended up with. Hello. Nice to meet you!!!
