Friend Of The Week – Marie
If you love bloggers who aren’t afraid to infuse their personalities into their blogs – if meeting “real people” with an interest in developing authentic relationships is important to you – than take a moment to say hello to Marie – the blogger behind Xmas Dolly!
Marie is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you will meet in your blogging travels! She loves to rock – she’s married to a professional musician, and invites you to share your love of music with her each week at her Music Moves Me Meme (you’ll find my picks each week at Inspire Me Monday!)
Marie also has many other interests as well, including photography, crocheting, gardening, playing piano, and reading.
Of course, her favorite pastime is spending quality time with her family, which includes her husband, 4 grown children, 11 grandchildren, and her precious dog!
Marie earned the coveted spot as my 4th Most Active Commenter in 2015 by leaving 80 sweet notes on my blog!
As you know, comments mean the world to bloggers. Won’t you drop by Marie’s blog, congratulate her for being our Friend of the Week at Create With Joy, and bring a little joy into her life?
Now It’s Your Turn To Share!
We’d love the opportunity to get to know you better and to feature you in an upcoming edition of Friendship Friday!
What song best expresses how you are feeling right now?
Please share your thoughts in the comments!
Be sure to link to us and spread the love by sharing our Friendship Friday party with all of your friends!
Remember – building community and developing friendships is what Friendship Friday is all about!
