Now, on to the Fab Five. These are five “crafty” (sorry Lara) bloggers I heart for one reason or another. There are a ton more that I blog stalk regularly so it was hard to choose five, but these are my faves for today.

Cheri at I am Momma Hear Me Roar

Having two boys of my own I love that she has so many fantastic boy ideas! You should see her son’s new room, amazing! She also has adorable accessories for mom, which is super important when you are outnumbered three to one! Someone’s got to up the girly quotient! And let’s face it her blog title is just plain awesomeness. And wait, she lives in UT and I have never met her. How can this be?! Maybe someday.

Char at Crap I’ve Made

This girl has major skills. I would kill (or maybe just slightly mame) to be able to sew like her. Did you see her kids’ Halloween costumes (Santa & Buddy the elf, Slurpee)?! I about died. Mostly, I just love that she does not take herself too seriously and makes me laugh all the time. And I love all the color in her house. (I was lucky enough to sneak over to Bunco one night when they had some friends cancel.) My house is a total snooze in comparison.

Jen at Tatertots and Jello

Jen is the epitome of class. She is such a sweetheart and even invited her readers over for a holiday cookie exchange. No wonder, her house is gorgeous! Her decor is even more beautiful in person, seriously breathtaking! When I grow up and don’t have toddlers who will carry off anything within reach, I would love to decorate like Jen. She is the queen of subway art, decor pillows and pennants Sometimes, she even combines them. Oh, and I would trade closets with her any day! She always looks so put together!

Lara aka Ellie G at Less Cake More Frosting

In so many ways, Lara and I are totally different. She loves the frosting, I like the cake. She lives on the East side, I dwell on the West. She loves cherry and dislikes cinnamon, switch that around and you’ll find me. But according to Paula Abdul “Opposites Attract” and in this case it is totally true. I have had a friend crush on this girl since the moment I met her. She is hi-larious and has a super cool style (can I pull off that haircut?!), besides the fact that she is an amazing designer! Oh and she loves Disney, so that is always a plus in my book!

Linda at Craftaholics Anonymous

I featured Linda when she was first getting in to blogging and have loved her creations ever since. She gets bonus points because she is from my home town. Linda is master of zippers and gray (which I love, love) and does a mean re-purpose. Plus, she has two little boys, a toddler and a baby just like me.

Are you F-R-E-A-K-I-N-G kidding me????? I am absolutely opposed to being included in that list of AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!! I was mostly just laughing that you said “crafty” and then apologized to me. Hilarious! But then you put my blog on there? Michelle! You want a present, don’t you?

I LOVE all your other choices too. Who’s cooler than Cheri? Or nicer than Jen? Or funnier (and more talented) than Char? And I completely love Linda’s blog as well. So much gray GOODNESS!

You’re completely on my “favorites” list, Missy. And you’re right, opposites DO attract. I’ll let you be Paula. And I’ll be MC Scat cat!

I {heart} you!!

For reals??? I’m flattered, BUT if I start getting more hate mail about that pic of my kid asleep on the toilet, I’m forwarding it to you for response.

Hi Michelle. Maybe you already knew this… but the mini mailboxes are back in the dollar section at Target!! Hooray! (I searched for one for FOREVER last year after your cute post.) Now I can FINALLY start our own love-note VDay tradition at our house. Best idea ever. Happy Thursday!

Hey Michelle,

Thank you SO much! I fell upon your post today and it totally made my day. I would LOVE to meet you in person anyday. Thanks for making me feel like a rockstar! I am a big fan of all the other blogs you listed as well.

Thanks again!
