Happy Black Friday! With any luck I am loaded down with shopping bags at this very moment, trying to knock out all my Christmas shopping in one day. But since Fashion/Beauty Friend Friday couldn’t sit idle, we’re doing things a little different. This week, participating bloggers are swapping posts on whatever topic they decided upon. As usual you’ll find the links to those posts below (provided they find a minute today between shopping and left-over consumption to add it to the list).
Vahni from Grit and Glamour was sweet enough to swap posts with me. For the season, we decided to exchange posts on what we are grateful to blogging for. Since she’s a video wiz, Vahni filmed a vlog. I wrote it out, so you can find my list of things on her blog today.
In the comments feel free to leave a note on the thing you are most grateful to blogging for.

Loved this post swap idea. Jill (From Spoils of Wear) and I had a lot of fun partnering. Happy post-Thanksgivng!
Mrs. Bossa (Joanna) and I swapped posts today — hers is really excellent, it's up now. Blogging is great for finding other people who can really write!
This was a really good idea and I think we should do it again soon! V is the queen of vlogging so I enjoyed this one!
I am grateful to blogging for getting me back to my passion of writing. I get to do what I love doing everyday and having the opportunity to push my creativity and knowledge keeps me on my toes!
Hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving!
Thankful for all the amazing people and their unique perspectives that I get to "meet" and know via their blogs.
LOVE that Vahni, and her spirit and quality of blogging really inspire me.
I am thankful that I have met via the web an amazing group of people from all over the world that otherwise I wouldn't have known.
I'm thankful for being able to strengthen my writing and vlogging skills. I never thought that by me creating my own blog that I would learn so much.
V you are so right about learning the technical side on your own because before my blog I can truthfully say I didn't know as much about the technical side. Now I must say I haven't learned it all but I am learning something new everyday.
V your necklace is beautiful and your hair looks great in that style.
I had a lot of fun swapping post with MJ of Fierce and Michelle Howard of Radiant Skin Care Blog for Ethnic Skin Care. Enjoyed meeting them and would like to do it again.
I am most thankful to blogging for the amazing people I've met from all over the world! When I started blogging I never imagined I would get to know fellow bloggers from everywhere in the States and across the world!
Vahni-the necklace is beautiful and what a pleasant surprise to see you here!
I'm grateful to expand my community through one of my passions. I've always enjoyed writing, making people laugh and fashion. Blogging has allowed me to combine so many things I love into one place. I just can't believe it took me this long!
Loved swapping posts, btw. Thanks!
Thank you Katy Rose for creating such wonderful opportunities for sharing! I am sorry that I haven`t been able to keep up with the friend fridays, I would really like to get back into it
I am thankful for bloggers such as your self and Vahni, blogging has impacted my life in a way I didn`t expect when I first started ten months ago. And you were one of the first bloggers to reach out to me, and that I am grateful for.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend.

I tried so many times to post a comment here, but my phone just wasn't playing along! Not been able to watch your vlog yet, Vahni, but I will asap.
Just wanted to say thanks, Katie, for this blog swap - it's been great to try new things and meet another (great) blogger in the process! And on that note, I'd also like to thank Cynthia (Be Fabulous Daily) - both for her fantastic post and her kind comment above. Our posts have sparked quite a bit of discussion, so for that I'm grateful…
Thank you all for your lovely comments! And Katy, thanks again for the swap…
♥ V
