  1. I’ve been so crazy busy at work that I haven’t had a chance to catch up with December Busbee Style!!! What???? That can’t happen. So I’m sitting on a conf call now catching up. I love, love, love the gift guides. I read about the new site. That is such a great idea and resource for women. I can’t wait myself. I’m 52 but don’t want to look like it, act like it or feel like it! Per my teenagers, I do talk like like I’m 52. Apparantly, “You rock” is an antequated term. 🙂 Thank you so much for everything that you do. It’s my escape to read your blog
