After a Cup of Coffee...Or Two » Things You Really Need

My Ultimate Blog Party

Christy — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 05:01:15 +0000

Welcome! I’m Christy. I love coffee, chocolate and LUSH products. In fact, I’m giving away TWO prizes from Lush this week. You can enter to win a $20 gift certificate through 5 Minutes for Mom and you can play along with me here to win your choice of bath bombs!

For last year’s party, I played Two Truths and a Lie. This year I wanted something different. So.

A scavenger hunt! But an easy one since ya’ll are gonna have a LOT of blogs to visit. So, go check out my “Customer Favorites” section in my sidebar, and tell me:

Who would I not leave my husband for?

I’ll draw a random winner from those who leave comments with the correct answer and announce the winner on March 14th!

Have you seen the prize list? Here are my top three picks for prizes-

1. $50 from Kid’s Magical Wonder (#15)

2. Wall art from Ju Ju Beane Boutique (#14)

3. An Arbonne gift basket from The Truest Thing (#113)

Other fun prizes:

Wow, I totally lost track of time and the Ultimate Blog Party is tomorrow! Actually, it starts in just a few hours. Come back and visit me, I’m hosting a giveaway for my favorite- LUSH! Ok, I’m off to try and come up with an interesting party post.

10 Percent Off For You!

Thank you so much everyone who commented that they liked my blog design. It was designed and coded by Karen and Leslie at Swank Web Style. I had nothing to do with it! I couldn’t even figure out how to log in to my own blog and had to email poor Leslie for help at O’dark thirty last night.

And she responded at O’dark thirty-one and saved my sanity.

Really, they were both great to work with. And they have been sweet enough to offer 10% off if you’re referred by me! So if you’ve been wanting a custom look that really suits who you are, I recommend you go visit them now at Swank Web Style.

How about a roll call?

I must admit I am totally, unapologetically stealing this idea from Megan.

But The Big Bloggy Move is coming up on Monday and I think I will be offering two, TWO prizes and I need some ideas.

Plus, my readers seem to have doubled since about November, and I’d like to get to know you all. My husband has been working 14-18 hour days and I’m a ~~tad bit~~ ~~little~~ completely starved for adult interaction.

So please, leave a comment telling me if you have children and how many, and what your favorite indulgence is.

And I don’t mean indulgence like reading blogs at midnight, like I am doing right now. I’m talking Starbucks, Godiva, Lush bath products…something for which I can buy a gift card and give a little back to you, who provide me with some much needed sanity.

And if you haven’t commented here before, I give you my blessing to de-lurk for this one post and then go right back to lurkville.

Because chances are I lurk on your blog, too.

Any Mac People?

I desperately need a new computer. The one I have now seems like it should have plenty of memory and speed, but it just can’t handle editing my picture files.

And I don’t have the time in my day to restart my computer four times just to Photoshop a picture or two.

So I’m thinking of switching to a Mac. It seems like all the people I know who work with photographs and scrapbooking have them.

Do you? What do you think of yours? Is it a desktop or a laptop?
