Good Morning, Loves! Well, it's back to reality after the holidays. How did you all spend your holidays? I was in Illinois with Eric's family and had a blast (and didn't stop eating delicious foods 24/7, including the amazingly perfect Lou Malnati's pizza!). There's a ton of exciting things coming up on Lovely this year (including: decorating on a serious budget, more lovely dresses, live-blogging from Scotland, and of course, more creative guest writers), but before we move on with Oh-Ten, let's do a quick wrap up of our guest writers from 2009. You all did a fantastic job on finding lovely gift ideas, thank you! You'll all be receiving your special gift in the following weeks.
(PS. If YOU would like to guest write on a topic for Lovely, just let us know!)
