Let’s help each other out with retweets!

With your hosts:

@Syrana, @Marirene74, and @HaveSippy

The Rules:

1 – The first rule about the Retweet Club is to talk about the Retweet Club.

2 – Tweet the last entry on the spreadsheet (copy and paste!) – The first spot will always be about the RT Club post!

3 – Choose any post you want that’s family friendly!

4 – Add your tweet to be retweeted – typed AS you want it tweeted (refer to the first spot for an example).  Please make sure it is only 140 characters.

5 – Use bit.ly or tinyurl to shorten your post links.

6 – You can retweet more than one and post more than one request.  We ask that you retweet one for each that you post.  We will randomly tweet off the list too.

Optional – You can follow the hosts and send us a tweet telling us you are part of the #RTClub and we’ll follow you back!

If you’d like the code to post the listing on your blog, please contact me and I’ll send it to you.

Cymax- shopping made easy!

You ever try to go shopping with the express goal of buying bed set or even just a set of drawers or a dress with kids in tow?  Then as you know at this point in time, you wish you could give them an extra naptime, lol.  But alas- instead we just yell, point, threaten and in the end just want to leave, while they bounce on beds and hide under curtains, opening every third drawer they see. Or every.  Sometimes, it’s every. 
Well look what I found here: Bed room sets, nifty drawers, and even more drawers.
Shopping on line for furniture sounds like a dream.  That way you are already home to see exactly how that couch will fit before actually trying to squeeze it in a tight spot.  Check out this one.  I love the deep red and the bright metal drawer pulls.  And even a huge bed set, with drawers above the bed, I LOVE THAT!  When looking at furniture on line you can even ask others what they think of your furniture before you pick it out, maybe even hold an on line vote to see which is better, have fun with it.  So check out Cymax furniture, you can even do it with the kids in the room!

VoiceQuilt

http://www.thegiftionary.com/siteadmin/images/companylogo/LOGO_179.jpgVoiceQuilt gives gifts that speak from the heart…literally!
VoiceQuilt is a uniquely personal gift – filled with your vivid, heart-touching greeting, memories and tribute. Record a toast to DAD or congratulations messages to a proud grad . Then, you can upload their favorite sentimental music. It will be a gift they cherish for a lifetime.
The sound of someone’s voice – their accent, tone and laughter – conveys much more than a photo, letter or a store-bought gift. VoiceQuilt™ is a wonderfully creative gift solution for an individual, groups or families, a unique way to celebrate a special birthday, anniversary, retirement, Mother’s Day, Christmas, graduations, Father’s Day, a wedding or just to reach out to someone special just because.
In addition, VoiceQuilt is a great way to share recipes, messages to troops overseas, sick children or anything else you can think of…there is no end to how you can use it! In times of celebration, VoiceQuilt makes memories last forever and when times are tough, VoiceQuilt becomes a personal cheering squad.

How VoiceQuilt Works…
FIRST…
Choose a toll-free phone package so that you can record your very own personal message, song and/or dedication. Or, if you like, you can have more than one person leave messages, toasts and tributes as well.
(We are giving you a coupon for 7 days worth of phone time!)
THEN…
Capture Memories / Deliver MemoriesRecord your own personal message, song , dedication…whatever you want to have in your keepsake for MOM or anyone else. It’s easy to upload a favorite song (or other audio) to your VoiceQuilt!
If you are doing this as a group, invite family and friends to phone in toasts, tributes and favorite memories. (VoiceQuilt’s email tools provide simple dialing instructions for callers plus draft invitation text that you can customize.)
Once you record your message and/or song, visit the VoiceQuilt Message Center to listen online. No special software is needed – just your web browser. Choose which messages/songs/audio clips to include in the VoiceQuilt playlist, give them descriptive labels, and arrange them in the order you like.

I’m Sorta Back!

Hey guys- bear with me, I am super slow, and I only have use of the one hand at the moment, but I’m back and getting some stuff up for you now  🙂   I know Friday and Sat are usually my big contest days here, so I will do my best to get back on track.  Don’t worry- you will still get all your contests and reviews!  Just a day or two late, LOL    🙂
I really messed up my hand, but I won’t know how much until the swelling goes down- so bear with me while I am slow, lol.
I slipped with a particularly well-sealed package, and the scissors went right through my hand.  Like, right through.  Not fun at all!
THANK YOU Grace, for the update last night.  I was all sorts of wonky and in so much “paining” as my son would say, but I didn’t want you to think ya hanging!  🙂
I am off to get everything ready- love ya’s, bloggy buddies- and Thanks again, Grace  🙂

Sam Won’t Be Here Tonight :(

Hey everyone this is Grace over at Blessed Elements.

I got a phone call from Sam and she had to go to the hospital because when she was opening a package with a pair of scissors they slipped and went through her hand (ouch!). 

Any way she wanted me to post so you would know she has not abandoned us and will have contests up tomorrow for all of us to enter. 

Bless her heart even though she is hurt she still wants us to win cool prizes.

You just have to love Sam!

Have a great weekend,
Grace
