When I had an emergency c section for my son, our first kid, my husband walked over to our baby to see him for the first time. They were stitching/gluing me back together, but when my hubby turned around to come back to me he saw right inside me! haha. He literally saw my guts, so when he says “i love your guts” i know he means it 😀

Tara, I think I probably am going to go to Haven! I LOVED it last year and would love to go again!

There are about a bazillion blogs with that kind of content. I don’t read your blog so I can copy what you do. I read it to get inspired. I love it because you do things I won’t see anywhere else. And you always make me smile. Happy new year to you! Can’t wait to see what you come up with. (Oh, and totally get where you’re at with your bedroom. Love seeing my own work pattern in someone else’s blog.)

You wish success upon people following in your footsteps instead of throwing a veil over the creative process and ‘business side of things’. Thank you for doing what you do, sharing your successes and failures, and being just awesome!

If you said you were going to Haven. Then we could meet and you could whisper DIY secrets in my ear.

I would whisper hilariousness and probably a few swear words, but that would be okay (I hope?).

Also, do what you love, Mandi. Haters gonna hate; your readers just want to be inspired. Use IKEA, use random vintage finds… do what moves you.

That’s why people keep coming back.

It’s why I love YOUR guts and why I am a die-hard VR fan! I’m so glad we can be best friends. 😉

Loving (or hating) someone’s guts or with all your guts is a very common saying here in Australia, so not weird at all. I didn’t take the survey (mainly because I’m being lazy and can’t win a home goods voucher) but I love your blog and if you love it why change. Happy 2014 can’t wait to see what you do.
