let's not forget music! i love music! the album art alone is enough to make me wonder what is inside that cover!
I twittered your party here. http://twitter.com/mom2kchmw2001/status/1784902430
AAA!! You've added a Krista Taylor skirt since I last checked out the loot! Please, please pick me!
Me again - you've gone on so much about the coffee that I'm going to have to try it just to see what the fuss is about. Not that I think anything can compare to Dunkin Donuts...
Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Thanks so much for letting us celebrate with you!
Just visited Faith Baby - what adorable clothes. Lily, our baby girl we are adopting from China, would love to wear such fine clothing!
I loved visiting Jennifer Ueckert's inspirational art. Very beautiful pieces - would make a great anniversary gift this summer to my in-laws!
I sure hope we are doing this right because I feel a little funny making all of these posts. LOL - but what fun it is! And that's what all of this is about. Since I am still trying to really develop my own blog, I would certainly benefit from either APH Boutique or Extravagant Grace Design's blogging gifts and assistance! Praise the Lord someone is willing to help! :)
I do subscribe to your blog and read it every day, often multiple times each day - no, I'm not kidding. I look forward to visiting more of the organization sites that donated to your prize list later. What great new resources!

Blog tip of the day. In fact of the week. No scratch that, let's make it the blog tip of a lifetime.
Bloggers have so many different things to do, which means that when we get time to spend on our blogs, we often waste so much of it doing things that actually don't matter. So my blog tip of a lifetime is:
"When in doubt, write."
Awesome giveaways! I would love to win any one of them :)
Posted your button! Fun, fun!
