Say Hello to My Little Friends

Do you hear the crickets? I do. They're the sound of me staring at my computer screen, unable to come up with anything worthy of a blog post. So, I'll let my friends do the work for me tonight.

Practicing Creativity
My dear friend Courtney is a card crafter. She recently released a set of photopolymer stamps for purchase. And her artsy creations are always featured in card magazines. Check her out!

The Adventures of The HandyGraham
A college friend of mine, Graham, is one of the best "handymen" in Nashville, and he's making his livelihood on fixer-uppers. He's even been given several Nashville Scene awards for his services. But, a little over ten years ago, I sat alongside him in our Journalism courses. The kid knows how to write too and has some very interesting insights on life.

The Pioneer Woman
While I don't know Ree personally, I do know that I want to be her. She's a reformed city girl, now married to a cattle farmer and the homeschooling mom of four kiddos. She cooks, she bakes, she writes, she decorates...and she takes photos to prove it.

Big Mama
Her name is Melanie, and she's a mama from Texas. I love reading about her daily shenanigans and her delightful comments of witty self-deprecation. And her daughter, Caroline, is such a ham. I'm pretty sure she's my alter-ego. I love it.

Tartlette
Helen is a French pastry chef living in South Carolina. Her food photography is some of the finest on the internet, and I guarantee you'll drool. Check out her polenta croutons from Wednesday!
