grateful: week 40

inspired by my reading of the happiness project by gretchen rubin, i am instituting monday "gratitude" posts (read here for more detail), where i will list "3 things i'm grateful for" from the previous week.

the 3 things i'm grateful for this week are:

1) january's organizational projects continue to progress!

2)  a picture is worth a thousand words:

i know many blogs have a lot more than 100 followers, but i am amazed that more than just myself reads what i write here each day.  so thank you to each and every one of you!  details on my first giveaway coming later this week!

3)  i attended not one but two fabulous birthday celebrations this weekend.

this week's blog love:

• a glimpse of glamour introduced me to the notebook doodles, a lovely and inspirational little blog.
• the creative place is already checking in with our 2011 resolutions and tips on an "idea journal" - i want one!
• in honor of the bf's vibrant hair color, here's wolf and willow's ginger lovely flickr post, hehe!
• my dear alaina of live creating yourself, i want to live in soft blue whispers too! 
• lanalou style introduced me to windsor smith's room-in-a-box online decorating tool.  genius.
• the rue mag blog paired golden globes fashion with rooms to match - so fun!
• such a cute little post on design*sponge on home remedies for fending off a cold or flu!

here's to another grateful week.
