    I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your blog! You have so many elements of information and design that make your blog worth my reading and time :)
    Thank you so much for that.

    I am now employed as a web designer and have not taken the time to update/create my own web persona. So my own website hasn’t been touched or updated in a LONG time, but so appreciate what you’ve done and how you’re doing it! Keep up the good work!

    I love the pencil calendar idea, but being me, I question its practicality. Who uses a pencil that often these days, and how many people would be sharpening just to move the days along? Then again, art doesn’t need to be practical does it?

    The link for embracing your shortness really struck me, since I am 5’6″ (1.7 meters)

    I decided to compose a similar article, concerning shorter men, who have a significantly harder time than short women.

    I am all for embracing who you are, height, weight, ethnicity, etc. Just be the best you can be, and be grateful for what we do have. Which is usually way more than you realise.

    I am also working on a post to help shorter/smaller men (and women) build an amazing wardrobe. It should be posted soon on http://www.thesfstyle.com/

    Thank you for the linklove! It’s my favourite part of your blog; you always post interesting and fun links.

    I love the red and black posters! A nice combination!

    Yes!! Shorties rule! I myself am about 5’1. I have grown to embrace it. Thanks for sharing that article!

    Those ampersand necklaces are really nice and simple!! Thinking about getting one myself.

    Oh and I disagree with the anti cat crusade! Not all homes smell with cats. And I love them!

    :)
