Well, I’ve been talking about it forever, and it’s finally here! I feel like I’ve been working on it for months, yet I don’t feel ready for it to be here! LOL! I KNOW there are things that aren’t quite right. I have stayed up way way way too late as it is, and have to crash before I reach perfection. If you see anything that looks amiss, please feel free to let me know via the contact form. However, I might know but haven’t had the chance to get to it yet (the chances of this are 98%!).

As you can see, the opening didn’t start when I intended. I stayed up until 3am and still didn’t get done. :/ Better late than never, right? Things tend to get messed up, even when we plan on a perfect event. The new theme I bought (yes, I said bought) didn’t work for what I wanted it to, so my poor husband hand-coded this theme to as close as what I wanted. I mean, it’s really REALLY close. He did amazing and I’m so very thankful for him! (If we were all in a room together, I’d start the applause for him right now! I’m really so proud of him!) He worked on it almost up until he had to leave for work, too. Which means we didn’t get to spend any family time together tonight! Boo! Let’s all pray that it was all worth it! I know my poor kids are tired of hearing Mama say, “Not right now, honey.” 🙁

And by the way, I’m still waiting to hear from the company to see if they’ll refund my money. I’m not holding my breath! 😉

The Giveaways

UPDATE! We now have FIVE Giveaways! The last one is for a 6-month subscription to a great meal planning service, so make sure you check it out!

I had so many amazing people donate to this giveaway that I had to break up the prizes. I don’t want any of these things to go to waste. So, here’s the deal. You can enter each of the Giveaways, if you have interest in them and are an eclectic soul, like me, or you can enter just one, if that’s what you prefer. The “liking” things are repeated, so if you liked them in one Giveaway, it will remember that and show that you liked them in another. There is one difference: for each Giveaway, the owners/business of the prizes are the required like. For example, in the Reader’s Dream Giveaway, you need to “like” each of the Author’s Facebook pages. I hope that makes sense! It’s just the way it worked out for me to do it!
