The month of May has been a fun one for the Lifestyles channel at b5. It’s been all about meeting our neighbours. Our intrepid editor, Gayla, suggested that we get to know our fellow Lifestyle bloggers by talking to each other and blogging about one another. She suggested that we write about the bloggers who are 3, 4, 5, and 6 spaces down on the rollcall of the channel. What a neat idea!
This week, I am chatting with Marye over at Kettle and Cup, the blog that is all about the joys of tea and coffee.

Each week in May, the members of the Lifestyles channel on b5 media are having a carnival that introduces our fellow bloggers to our readers.
This week, I am spotlighting Maricar over at Keeping the Castle, the blog that is all about taking good care of home and hearth.

The Three Doors Down project on b5 is so neat! It’s giving me a great excuse to enjoy some of  ‘blogging neighbours’ on b5.
Here’s a link that explains what the ‘3 doors down’ project is.
This morning, one of my neighbours UP the b5 blog list (Jennifer at De Clutter It) wrote a posting about hankering for yarn.  She posted a pic of the most Zen yarn storage solution I have ever seen.  You really have to check it out!

I sent Cyndi a list of questions about Jewelry & Beading, and here is her response:
