A Twitter Invitation for the Holidays!
The other day on Twitter, I invited my followers to send photos of their Martha Stewart inspired holiday décor and other creations. I thought it would be fun to do something entirely different and create a blog post using some of those photos. Within minutes, the images started streaming in and I must say that it really thrills me to see how my products, how-to's, and recipes have inspired so many. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
