peter facinelli: Happy (belated) New Year!

Hmm, so let's just pretend I'm not a week late with the New Year wishes, mkay?

I thought I'd mark the fabulousness that is 2011 with a little thank you tribute to my 35 amazing followers. I think there are probably a few lurkers out there too... if you wanna be mentioned in future posts, feel free to follow!

2011 is the year of HAPPY for me. I've wasted enough time in my life doing things that I don't love - so enough of that, let's have fun! This year I plan to spend more time with great friends, have some amazing new experiences including some exciting travel, and generally just have fun. Oh, and watch a couple of movies that may or may not include Elephants and Vampires (in chronological, not preference order, btw!)

So, here begins the picspam that is this tribute post. (I stole this idea from Robzsinger!)

Thank you ALL for all the love and support over these past few months. Cheers, and here's to another year of twi-bloggy fun. Hugs to you all.

*Many of these people have awesome blogs/tumblrs/FFn profiles. Please click on the links to support them*

Firstly, my RL turned twi-BFFs:

SparklyJul

My best friend, confidante, support person, fic enabler...need I go on? Of course I should. As you may know, Jul's also written an amazing fic. If you haven't already checked out Baggage Claim, what are you waiting for?

Negligent Mummy

Back when I started this blog, I said I'd never post a picture of the *ahem* K9 contingent. Today I break this rule for NM, another RL bestie who has recently fallen into the twisphere. Only for you, sweetie.

Eds_piano

Eds_piano is my third and final RL twi-friend. She was a lurker for a long while and is now working on her first guest post for TwiKiwi. Here's looking at you, sunshine!

Twitter/bloggy besties:

17foreverLisa

Lisa and I first met on twitter and bonded (she said that) over Mr Fifty Shades himself. She has been so helpful to me, creating the amazing banner and button for this blog, as well as encouraging me and answering my bloggy questions. Sorry the pic's not B&W sweetie!

TwiredJen

Jen was one of my first twi-friends and has also been really encouraging to me as I ventured into the world of blogging. I'm super excited to be meeting Jen in a few months time when I visit San Diego. She's team Robsten - all the way.

DangrDafne

DD is a regular commenter and always has something lovely and supportive to say. Thanks love!

Rena

The amazingly talented Rena sent me an amazing Christmas card which I received this afternoon. I heart snail mail.

Mrs XKR / MyAfterCar

MyAfterCar is currently set stalking - thought a BD pic was appropriate here! Good luck in Baton Rouge, bb!

kiTT / TongueTwied

kiTT has just joined our twitter family, but her blog has long been admired. Thanks for your kind words, kiTT!

LivingwEdward

LwE has given me lots of advice about dealing with my new 'friend', Kiwi-Ed. He's much better behaved these days thanks to LwE's advice. I know you're waiting on Dr Cullen, LwE, so this pic's for you.

Smitten

Also a regular commenter, Smitten has a hilarious blog I've just discovered! Check it out!

Starlit Violets

My namesake, SV, is a fantastic twitter friend who keeps me smiling. Last night she came back to us after a wee absence. Welcome back!

Chloe Cougar

Chloe's my regular late-night twitter buddy. Based in the UK, she's usually getting up when I'm winding down!

Demanda

Jaymes805

Amanda and Jamie have a little blog called Borderline Phenominal. They're roommates who keep me entertained tweeting each other from within the same house. Hope you like the pic of your bf, Jaymes ;)

MuffinTopped

MuffinTopped was one of my earliest twitter buddies. This pic just had to be included for it's pure smexiness!

RobAddict / Jen

Robzsinger

Jen / RobAddict (she of the great identity crisis!) recently joined Robzsinger's blog and together they make a great team. Love your blog and your twitter antics, laideees. Mmmm, hoodie Rob :)

Twi_Lin

Twi_Lin also sent me an amzing Christmas card this year, which is staying on the fridge all year! Thanks so much!

AllTwiedUp / Charla

Charla is another twifriend I'm looking forward to meeting in California. Rob's waiting on the sheepskin for you to tie him up, sweetie.

Uber_Vamp

Uber_Vamp keeps me supplied with awesome Robp0rn via her tumblr account. In fact, pretty sure a good number of these pics came from her. Thanks hun!

UtterlyAbsurdBella

MrsKassieCullen

UtterlyAbsurdBella and MrsKassieCullen run Twilight Junkies Anonymous - who profiled me not long after I started TwiKiwi. Thanks for your support ladies!

Laura

Laura answered my call when I wanted to read The Office and needed a pdf copy. This pic reminds me of the Beautiful Bastard.

Purple Cupcake

Purple Cupcake's name makes me think of Clipped Wings & Inked Armour - and this pic reminds me of Tattward.

Belladuluk

Belladuluk is a fellow fan of Emancipation Proclamation - this pic makes me think of MPW.

And here a few wonderful followers that I don't know, but are very pleased to have aboard! Enjoy your pics.
