meetup momday, and a photo challenge

So I may not be posting as much this week.  This is my last full week of with Jack. I am going to be staying away from the computer and cuddling my little guy as much as I can. In the meantime, I am hoping that Meetup Monday will continue to grow.

Also.....the paper mama is having "water" themed photo challenge. This is my first time entering and I am nervous! Check out her amazing blog and check out my entry to the photo challenge!

Have a great Monday!

If this is your first time linking up to Meetup Monday, here's the info:

Add a link below to a specific blog post or your main blog address

If you could grab my button and pop it up on your blog someplace visible, that would make my day!

Most importantly: Make someone's day by commenting on the blog post of the two blogs (or more) before you.

Make mama proud!

So I was ready to say goodbye to Meetup Monday, but then I thought, "I am not a quitter, I will stick with this!"

So sticking with this is what I am going to do.  I have faith in my readers, make me proud and join myself and other bloggers for Meetup Monday.  You just might make some new friends!

Meetup Monday and a Pear Tree Greetings Giveaway!

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. It was HOT here.  Hot enough that I wished for fall for a few minutes.  Just a few minutes.  Now that the weekend is over, join Meetup Monday, and enter this great giveaway I have!


First the giveaway!!!

With all the texting, blogging, facebooking, and emailing that we do, handwritten notes seem to be a rare thing.  I love handwritten notes.  I have a drawer at home full of old Birthday, Christmas and Valentines Day cards as well as notes that were special to me throughout the years. 
There is something special about hand written notes.  Not only is it extremely personal, but it's a great feeling when you send someone a handwritten note.

To honor these special moments, Pear Tree Greetings is giving one of my readers a free set of personalized note cards (up to 16 cards) from their new collection! Shipping is included!

I LOVE these:

   

Mandatory Entry:

Comment on someone you would like to send a handwritten note to and why.

Meetup Monday and a Vintage Pearl Giveaway!

So I am getting a little sad here.  The past few weeks I am getting a very poor showing for my Meetup Monday.  Is it something I did? ; )

I am going to stick with it, and hopefully we will get more links added.  So please tell all of your friends!
And to celebrate my last week of school, AND getting to 300 followers I am doing a giveaway to one of my favorite places...Vintage Pearl!
The first time I visted the The Vintage Pearl's site, I was in love.
Today’s Giveaway prize is a $25 gift certificate to The Vintage Pearl!! They have SO many charming options. My favorites are the Mama Bird, A Simple I love you Will Do,  and A Simple Sweet-Heart. I think they would make perfect everyday necklaces — just right to wear with jeans and tee.  They would also be a perfect gift for that soon-to-be mom or the long time om.  What would you pick if you win?

Are you excited? You should be! Look at these designs. They are beautiful. I now will go back to choosing which one I want to order for myself!

You can learn more about The Vintage Pearl on their blog or by following them on twitter (@thevintagepearl).

Meetup Monday (and Tuesday) and a Giveaway!

Since Blogger was down ALL DAY, I couldn't put the link in for the party!  I will leave this up until Tuesday night, I'm sorry for this!!!  Please post your link still!

With Memorial Day last week I skipped Meetup Monday, so I am hoping that my comeback this Monday, brings lots of great blogs and new friends! 

First the giveaway info:
One lucky reader will win 120 Address Labels from Pear Tree Greetings.  What a great way to start of your Monday morning !


I just received my personalized note cards in the mail and they are so cute, I just L-O-V-E them.  I was sent the style below, with my name on them! With all the emails and texting now, it's so nice to get a personalized note from someone.  These are perfect for that!

I think the perfect addition to my notecards would be these:

With over 449 address labels to choose from, including photo labels, the choice is not easy.

For your chance to win, please do the following:
1. Think outside the box, what are other ways to use these fabulously stylish stickers? Add your comment below for one entry.

Meetup Monday

Another Monday. This one is hard.  I had a wedding last night which means, I had a few cocktails and stayed up way to late.  Getting up at 5am was extremely painful this morning.  Hopefully this linky will make things a little easier.

Week Three of Meetup Monday and we had a much better showing last week, which makes me so happy!

What made your weekend great?  I would love to hear from you!

So sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee, (or five) and enjoy each other's blogs.

Meetup Mondays

I HATE Mondays. I hate that feeling I get when I wake up. I hate that I am usually running late on Mondays. I usually don't have time to get my coffee and usually forget to make lunch. What would make my Mondays better I asked myself? How about a way to meet other people and find other blogs!

And so Meetup Monday has begun! Each Monday, you will have the opportunity to add your blog to our blog roll. This is going to be a great way to make some new bloggy friends and to hopefully expand your readership. Also, please grab my button to the left for Meetup Mondays!
