When will the decision for the new blogger be decided? I am hoping it will be Amanda from Dixie Delights! She is amazing! I love her energy, humor, creativity and southern taste. This "senior" looks forward to her daily blog. Ann

I hope you pick Dixie Delight's Amanda! She would be perfect. The parties, the decorating, those cute boys would all be a perfect addition for the Paula Deen bloggers.

I enjoy Amanda at Dixie Delights. I spend a lot of time at home due to caring for an ill relative. When I was out more, I would visit friends, get ideas for decorating and projects. Amanda's blogging fills that spot. She is like having a neighbor that I can visit without leaving home. I think that her blog old be an asset to your grouping of blogs. Thanks for everything you do and offer.

Well, when I say "seems it is what I am meant to do" - let me say that at least it is one of the things in life that brings me a lot of happiness! I'm sure you other writers feel the same way. Has anyone heard when the announcement will be?

'Poured my heart and soul into my entry. This type of writing is my passion; 'seems it is what I am meant to do. I have great admiration for Paula and her team. I have much love for my other gigs but this one would be a dream come true.
