Blog on...
I just received the June 2008 issue of Romantic Homes magazine and so happy to see my column received a new name... "Blog On", thanks to the lovely editor, Jacqueline. I hope you enjoy the picks this issue for creative blogs (or "crogs" as I call them). I love to write about blogs that inspire, are funny and creative...and I think I found 3 you will love and may already know. The issue itself is chock full of inspiration and it's always a treat when Elizabeth Maxson drops by with her "Tada" article. This one is exceptional, I just love her style.
I hope you enjoy. Please drop me a line by way of comment and I would love to visit your creative and inspiring 'crog' and remember...crog blog on !~xo







Wow! I just found your blog-beautiful!!!
Can't wait to explore more!

Hey Tara~
Can't wait to check out the new issue!! Last time you threw a call out to blogland I left you my addy to stop by (not sure what I was thinking as I was new to the whole blog thing and wow, I should've waited until my "house" was ready before inviting you over). Blogs are a constant evolving thing...I'd love you to come by again soon!

Hello Tara.
Another great issue. Love your part in Romantic Homes, and your story in Artful blogger as well.
Also, I loved your post on Venice Beach, FL. My husband grew up there and we always go back at least once a year to visit family and the fabulous beach.
Smiles,
Becky
