Meet Joy

February 15, 2011 by Joy the Baker 73 Comments


me n things

Have you taken a look at the Meet Joy section of the site?

You can, it’s been spiffed up… but don’t feel obligated.  It’s just more about me and why I’m so ridiculous…. and why I have such a sweet tooth… and what my favorite color is.  Just the basics.

I happen to love getting all up in peoples’ business and when a site’s about page is skimpy, my nosey brain can’t get workin.

If you’re a nosey brain like me… feel free to also stalk me on Twitter and the Facebook.  Indulge the nosey brain.  Just do it.

    You’re great. Among other things, I love your food, your outlook, and your tattoos.

    You are my celebrity crush, habibti!

    Joy,

    I have been coming to your blog for a few months now and love it.

    I love the pictures you take, the recipes you make and your humourous writing.

    Even when I don’t feel like cooking or baking, I enjoy coming here JUST to read what you have to say because I know it’ll give me a laugh and will ALWAYS brighten my day.

    So thanks. Thanks for being such a great baker. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos with us. And thanks for being so damn witty, honest and fun. I love it.

    PS – love the new ‘About Joy’ section, MUCH more informative and satisfies all my nosy cravings ;)
