Thirsty Thursday

It's that time again!* Wow, this week really flew by! Okay, time to be social ;-) Here are a few of the blogs that caught my eye this week:

Lisa over at noodleBubble is a uk crafter, reader and a very clever girl! Stop by, say hello and enjoy ;-) I liked the Retro Housewife. Usually I try to stay away from "giveaway" sites but she's more than that. (though her giveaways look pretty cool - not the standard fare) What really didit for me is that she made me laugh. Outloud. That doesn't happen often!

I arrived at the party sorta early (#48) so there weren't a lot of sites to choose from (and I have to go pick up the little man!) Hop over and see what you can find! Maybe you'd like to share your finds with me??

Reminder: 10% OFF the "Featured Items" in my shop - just enter the code BJBLOG. And tomorrow we'll take the next step in the Etsy Holiday Bootcamp.

*quick note about my approach to memes - I'm really not a fan of those who stop by and just say "follow me!!". If you truely like my blog and what I have to say then I would expect a comment relevant to something I've posted - that's what I do when I visit these blogs - if they're my 'style'. I'm not in this for the numbers; I'm looking to increase my meaningful interactions, meet some new bloggers and learn something new.

"Thirsty Thursday" Blog Hop!!

Go add your blog to Mr. Linky!!

A few I hopped by: The Dirt Road Diva....she's got lots of interesting stuff going on - watch her progress on 365 days of photos. Daphne at Flip Flops & Pearls is handing out motivation for those who run (not me. not ever. not even a little bit. but if that's what floats your boat..........) and she's got a link to a handy tip for mobile bloggers. Kelly from Crouching Mother, Hidden Toddler is the Martha Stewart of children's lunches!!

Go on over and find your own favorites!

"Thirsty Thursday" Blog Hop!

It's that time again! Time to hop out into the blogosphere and a make a few new aquaintances - so much fun! Let's see who we can link up with today???

(Okay, I know it's not Thursday. I wrote this yesterday, saved the draft and went blog hopping but never got back to the post. So just play along, k?)

Thirsty Thursday........

Today is a double-post day! No idea why but it is what it is.

So, I happened upon some "Thirsty Thursday" blog-hoppin' fun and decided to check it out! My plan is to check out a few of the participants each week then give them some linky-love over here! (I'm realizing I used exclamation points like it's my job - I swear, I'm not this excited when I speak! AGH - can't seem to help myself! (see!! lol)

Anyway...........without further ado, here's a few of the blogs I really liked:

Here's a cool AND useful blog all about blogging tips! Design it Chic. I need to find a few hours of quiet time so I can just sit and absorb all the helpful info.

Emily has quite the sense of humor over at City Girl Can Survive - I'm interested to see if she's able to retain that sense of humor when she has kids ;-) (no snarkiness intended, Emily! I'm just jealous because I lost mine EXACTLY four-years-one-month-and-one-day ago!)

Last but not least, I'm SOOO happy to have popped over to Southern Reflections! I had no idea there was a company that rented Leapster games!! Praise Jesus, now my son can stop saying "but this game is sooooo booooorrrrring" after having had used it all of 2 days! But even more exciting is to meet a mom of Faith. She has a beautiful family and I love what she's doing with her sponsorship!

I'm off now to check out some more of the blogs! Let me know if you decide to join up with "Thirtsy Thursday"!
