New Bloggers, New Feature Idea

Once upon a time, on a blog not so many months ago, the inimitable mommy blogger Sippycups offered to do a post on her wonderful site featuring me as a new blogger.  Having just started up the Pretty, I especially loved getting to work with another blogger whose site I admired.  Also, the exposure on her blog bumped my seeming dozens of readers at the time to dozens and dozens* of readers, many of whom remain favorite Invisible Blog Friends.
*This line reminds me of Jon Hamm's SAG acceptance speech, which . . . Jon Hamm.  Only 3.5 months 'til "Mad Men." I will survive.  Somehow.

In an attempt to - brace yourselves for the cliche - pay it forward (gah!), I'd like to do a regular Friday feature here showcasing one Pretty reader / new blogger.  I've happily noticed that a number of you new commenters & followers appear to be newish to Blog Land itself; welcome!  I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing here, but I would be delighted to get word out about you & other fantastic new sites devoted to all things Pretty.  

Bloggeristas/os, if you are interested, please simply either leave me a comment here including your email address (if it isn't included in your profile) or, for the bashful flowers amongst you, you can simply email me directly (see my profile for address).  For my Invisible Blog Friends of old, if you know of a newbie worthy of consideration, or would just like to promote yourself and me by writing a wildly flattering guest post about the Pretty (or, I suppose, a related topic), let's talk.

What do you think, my darlings?  Depending on your response, I'll either get this started up one week from today or simply return as usual to poking fun at shoes and She Who Shall Not Be Named.**
**Newbies, you might want to click on that original, mission statement-y post to catch up to Pretty speed.

Oooooh, what a good idea Miss Pretty, and just think how special anyone guest-posting will feel being sprinkled with the Pretty Fairy Dust! Yummy!
