How long will you leave this up? I would like to participate on New Years Eve Monday.....I already have tomorrows post finished a tag....I loved this and really look forward to this new year of posts with you.
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Kelli,
ReplyDeleteWow, this sounds fun. I only started blogging in September. So, I don't have a year's worth. I always start my morining's out saying "Good Mornin' Yall". I think I may have some pictures already on my computer to use. Do we post this on our blog and what day do we do it? I have already posted today, so I will post about it tomorrow if that's okay. "THANKS" for letting us know about this. It sounds fun. Take care my friend and have a great Saturday. May God Bless You and Yours. By the way, did you get to check out my Show & Tell Friday? I hope it was right this time.
Hugs,
Karen H.
I love this Kelli, I already did my post for today so can I do it tomorrow??? Will you leave it up for a while???
ReplyDeleteHappy New New :)
Hugs,
Sandra
I posted something similar -- it was the first line of each post, but then I added highlights of my favorite posts from each month. I didn't think about pictures!! I will go ahead and link that post here, if it's ok. I'm going to go check out those marbled peanut butter brownies!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved the recap. What a fantastic idea, too. I'll have to consider joining in on the fun.

Dear Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI had really wanted to send you a certain cool ecard for New Year's, but my computer wiped out your email address before I could copy it down. I know it is not safe for you to leave your email address in a comment on my blog, so I will just say, "I hope you have a blessed and peaceful 2008, filled with family, friends and the love of God. Happy New Year!"
Love,
Julie

Thanks Kelli and I wish you a very happy New Year!
Wonderful! Love the photos as well. Mine is finally up! Happy New Year and God Bless!

Hi, Kelli,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the survey of your 2007. I hope your 2008 is filled with as much joy as your blog has given me over the year.
Julie
What a great idea this was! I know I am a day late, but my little girl (4+months) wouldn't let me put her down long enough yesterday to get my post done.
ReplyDeleteIt is done now and I am on Mr. Linky's list. Thanks for the opportunity to share!

I'm a newbie. I only had 3 months of blogging and a couple photos but it was nice to look back and see the last 3 months.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Sandy
I enjoyed reading your blog! Have just found it through surfing; I will be back to read more of it in the future. It is so wonderful to see how many homeschooling folks there are. My children are 24,26 and 28 and I homeschooled them at a time when it was really frowned upon. My oldest now teaches college! Who says Moms can't teach! God bless you!!
ReplyDeleteBlondie
Happy New Year, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteI made your chocolate peanut butter brownies and gingersnap cookies during Christmas and they were a big hit with my family!
Hope you have had a joyouse New Year so far. I look forward to staying in touch with you this year!
I so enjoyed going through the year with you and your family. It was a wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteI just thought that I'd pop over and wish you and yours a wonderful 2008!
