Megan @ Beauty In The Attempt is asking the question this week …

“Why Do You Blog?”…

Since I ask myself that question quite frequently,

I thought it would be fun to participate.

Blogging is so time consuming that it boggles my mind--

as to why I love it so… here goes my

answer/excuse/reason etc..

 

Why Do I Blog?

1. I love it
2. I love meeting so many diverse people and seeing into their lives
3. Creativity
4. There is no limit to things that are covered in blogs (I found a blog about a lady beekeeper today…a secret dream of mine…)
5. Blogging has no deadlines…I am in control of any deadlines …
6. It gives me joy when I see the good in so many people (I know not all bloggers are good)
7. Freedom (One I am not willing to give up…this freedom to blog is precious and is to be
cherished and guarded from those who want to control it)
8. My new love of photography (I never had a “real” camera until my sweetie bought me one so I could blog)
9. Growth (learning and growing in my knowledge keeps me young…well at least in my mind)
10. Learning…anything and everything…

Introducing My Friend Lisa’s Newest Book

I introduced Lisa Smartt to my bloggy buddies last year.

This year I get to introduce her new book to all of you.

Ta Da…

The Smart View 2:

Work Life  In Progress

The first chapter of this book is titled—

Family:  A Low-Budget Reality Show

This is Lisa’s Hunky Hubby…Phillip…

Lisa was also signing her first book for her fans…

The Smartt View: Life, Love and Cluttered Closets

Lisa’s humor, motivation and her parenting skills are presented in a lovely

“Southern Lady” way even when she is talking

about dirty socks and Chia pets.

She is so entertaining and a joy to be around.

I think anyone would enjoy a copy of her book…

especially for Christmas.

Here is a link to her website where you can order both of her books…

Phillip and Lisa’s sons…

Phillip looked on as Lisa signed my book…

She had many fans at her book signing!!! Now don’t get

me wrong here…but one or two had the biggest ears

I’ve ever seen!!!

Table Scape Explosion…

My Tablescape exploded…

into a riot of color!!!

I think I’ll have to edit it…a lot!!!

Dining table, chairs, sofa tables, sleds, candelabra,  red, white, blue, green…

a whole lot “too” much…

It’s like being on a psychedelic sugar-high…

I could have titled it…  “The Psychedelic Pomegranate” or

“The Psychedelic Poinsettia-Pomegranate”

Or…It could be “What Not To Do In A Red Dining Area”…

“What In The World Was That Woman Drinking From The Teapot”???

My Dining Room Table Just Upchucked…Everything But The Kitchen Sink!!!

…with Hearts Thrown  In  

I have seen the light now…

nothing but white dishes from now on…

I want to save my family’s eyesight!!!

Call Oprah, Dr. Phil, The Hoarders Crew or The American Pickers…

this blogger needs an intervention …STAT…

My name is Becky and I am a blogger with too much stuff on my table…

Please hold my hand while I revert back to my previous

state of sorta kinda minimalism…

Please visit Marty for Table Top Tuesday
