Girl Talk

I am linking up with Amy at Lucky Number 13 and her weekly virtual coffee series.

If you and I were sitting down to have a cup of coffee this morning (or evening, whenever you're reading), I would tell you...

That I seriously have not been able to get Disneyland out of my head. If you read my last post, you'd know it's been on my mind...but it got worse today. I had lunch with a friend and we started talking about our favorite things about the park. Oh dear...

That I finally started reading Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks...and am really enjoying it so far!

That I have mixed feelings about this whole Bin Laden thing. Not saying it's not probably a good thing that he can't do what he was doing anymore...but I don't like all the cheering and rejoicing people are doing over it. I don't think Jesus would be out there cheerin'. Just saying...
(And, I guess I'd also tell you that I seriously hope I didn't open a can of worms with this one. It's just how I've been feeling about it)

That I'm excited about the opening of a new shop and blog today! Stacey of Stonewash & Bloom is hosting a giveaway and asked her readers to spread the word about her blog! She makes really cute one-of-a-kind headbands, rings, and bracelets. You can check out her shop here.

That I'm super excited to get my hair done this week...finally! It's been almost 6 months since I've had it trimmed or dyed! I'm very much looking forward to hair without split ends and roots showing!! Sheesh!

That I'm not enjoying this sudden change in weather. I was definitely ready for a break from the rain...but mid-80's is a bit much. It's still spring, ya know...

And, of course, if we were really having coffee, you would definitely be talking back at me. So, feel free to leave some comment love if you feel so led.

Happy Tuesday!

Giveaway!

Ok, so I am not hosting a giveaway...though I have been thinking about it quite a bit lately.

Little Miss Momma is hosting a Scentsy giveaway on her blog! It's a $25 gift certificate to buy Scentsy's products! They have a lot of cute new warmers for the spring and summer...and also some new scents! If you have never checked out Scentsy before, be sure to head to Little Miss Momma's blog and click on the link for her friend's Scentsy shop. If you're already a Scentsy fan, then I'm sure you need a new scent or two...or more...or maybe even a new pretty warmer for spring! I especially love the new Heirloom warmer. So pretty with a lace touch!

Anyway, check out Little Miss Momma's blog to enter the giveaway!

A Giveaway...and a Good Cause

If you read my blog on a regular basis...or simply read the post I linked on Facebook titled The Year of Babies, you would know who Cliffy is. I have a button on my sidebar with his picture on it. Anyway, liferearranged's blog is hosting a new challenge and a giveaway. She is asking everyone to donate $1 to bringing Cliffy home. $1. That's all. If you haven't donated because you were afraid your money wouldn't go very far, think about donating $1. It's simple and easy. In the month since I originally blogged about this, over $3,000 has been raised for Cliffy...bringing the total to over $7,000! The total cost to bring him home is $20,000...so it's about 35% covered so far. But, just think...if everyone that reads this blog gave $1...and passed on the info to everyone they know, and they all gave $1...the money could easily be raised in no time.
But, to top it all off, liferearranged is giving away a Silhouette die-cutting machine. If you don't know what that is, check it out here. It's amazing...to say the least...and you can do so many awesome things with it. Anyway, liferearranged has all the details for the giveaway here.
So...think about it. $1 can seriously go a long way. You can find the giving widget on my sidebar as well.
