There was a little bit of everything on my list. I mean them all from my heart. Every year it seems like I fall short of my goals, but in 2009 I will have a reminder (this blog) that I can do it. I fell into blogging because of my love of wanting to create a space that I love just for me. I love my home, and I could have nothing in it but my family and still love it the same. But one day I got a spark and wanted to decorate, and go all out and finish. I was never one to finish a room, but was determined to. I can dress my a$$ off, and I know what to buy for my home..It just wasnt top of the list like bags. All of 2008 I was addicited to L.A.M.B. handbags! Seriously I was. Handbags became my days, noons, and dreams. I drove for miles just to get a bag I craved. Paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars on bags, shoes, and clothes that I dont feel the same for this day. Sunday I returned some L.A.M.B. shoes that I bought from Nordstrom in Sept for $208.00. I had never worn the shoes, but I "loved" them so much at the time. Now I dont miss the shoes, they are gone. They took up space for nothing. My sister said to me in March one day as we shopped "I'll be so glad when you get over your love for L.A.M.B."...Well her wish came true. I still love the line, but I wont let it consume me like it did. I have picked up the habit of decorating my home, but there is a difference, yes in deed there is.

But back to blogging...I love sharing my ideas, and what I am doing with the blog world. And those that do stop by and leave comments just dont know how much it means to me and the dedication I have for my blog. It's FREE and it never closes, WOW! I hope everyone finds what they are looking for, and feel good inside this new year. I ask that you all walk along with me on my journey right here on "GET IT GIRL STYLE".

Best,

Tam
