I'm Baaaaaack! And What's Coming Up!

For those of you who ignored my whining, I'll tell you now that I was without my laptop for about 10 days. I did my best with my blackberry and stealing Hubs's work laptop- that has most sites blocked. But, last night, I got my laptop back. OMG. The shaking from blog-withdrawl could stop!


There were quite a few of you who started following me during this time. I've tried to return the follows, but I know I've missed a few and there are some of you whose blogs I can't find! Especially those of you who started following yesterday when I was the featured blogger over at The Lady Bloggers. That was a fabulous surprise to wake up to! If you are one of those who started following recently, please leave me a link so I can find you and return the favor!


If you missed out on this week's BFF(Blog Friend Feature), Adrienne from Stories from the Shoebox, I encourage you to check that out! Adrienne's is one of my very favorite blogs to read. No, I'm not going to list the rest of them, just know she's in there. You can check out her BFF post HERE.


Starting tomorrow, the Back-to-School Celebration begins!


Because I have TONS of giveaways for you during this week(13 for sure right now, 2 I'm still trying to get the details on), I'm not going to have as many "regular" posts as usual. For those of you who are new or new-ish around here, I usually only post reviews and giveaways on the weekends and then "real" posts during the week.


But, this week is going to be a little different because of this special Back-to-School event. I'll still have Pour Your Heart Out posted on Wednesday for those of you who want to link up and another Blog Friend Feature on Friday. But, that might be it for the week...if I can truly not blog that long, we'll see.


If you grabbed my BTS button early, and told me about it on a previous post, you can add an extra entry to each of the giveaways. This will not be listed on each giveaway- just know that you are allowed to do it!


If you missed that deadline and want another way to earn extra entries(those of you who grabbed the button early can also do this), write a post announcing our Back-to-School week of giveaways any time this week. Then, you will have 5 extra entries that you can "spend" on whatever giveaway or giveaways that you would like to use them on. Simply leave the link to your announcement post as your entry. All my giveaways will end on Sunday, August 15th, so you'll have time to decide how to use those extra entries. Post must be up by August 7th.

Don't forget that Tammy will have giveaways for you, too!


I'm so glad to be back!
