somewhat solid

It's your not-quite-so-typical-basic-must-have background paper pack

Somewhat Solid created by Sara Ellis

They are not completely solid. Each page is completely unique with little bits of other coordinating colors peeking through to give them a bit of a grungy, artsy look.



ONLY $1 through Tuesday.

It coordinates with all of Gotta Pixel's Gotta Grab It right now - where you can mix and match several items from the same color swatch - all only $1 each.

spreadin' some love

Sunday I earned my first blog award! I am so excited! Kelly from Giving What I Am gave this to me, as well as some other super fab bloggers.



Now it's my time to Pay It Forward...

This is how it works:

So, the rules of the "One Lovely Blog Award" are:

Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

1. Controlling My Chaos - funny mom trying to outwit her daughters

2. The Thrifty Chicks - extremely stylish and super thrifty

3. Kara's Kitchen Creations - super fun and delicious recipes, including the most recent Mummy Pizzas

4. La Jolla Mom - high quality give-aways

5. Mama Mel Loves - fun Muffin Tin Mondays and cute Etsy finds (my first Etsy purchase was from Mel)

6. Living Locurto - creative fun and a current iPhone give-away

7. Yaya Stuff - very orange and comical... watch her groovy dance videos

8. Indiechick Designs - the lovely Emma just redesigned my blog... and she's running a 15% off sale during October

9. Good Deal Gal - so many fabulous deals and so easy to read

picking 15 is very hard!

Somehow.... miraculously .... my sound just decided to start working again in Firefox. It hasn't worked in about a week or so. If I need sound, I have had to use IE. It was such a pain because I really don't care for IE at all. Right now I have my blog open in one tab so I can listen to my playlist (right sidebar). I haven't listened to it in so long and I'm really really enjoying it. The first song I was able to listen to was Everything by Modern Day Zero. Awesome tune!

ok.. even more weird... is somebody trying to tell me something? I left my blog for a moment and came back to it........... AND.... Everything was the first song again. My tunes are shuffled each time. How did that song just happen to be the first song two times in a row?

A couple reasons why I think it's extra odd is because... #1 I'm not happy with my husband right now.... and #2 Scotty, the lead singer from Modern Day Zero, sang a couple songs at my ex-husband's funeral 1.5 years ago (they were good friends) .... Am I reading too much into something?

Right now it's All I Want to Do by Sugarland is playing now - another fab tune (of course I think so, it's on my playlist)

ok.... I bet you are going to end up sitting on my blog now and scroll around just so you can hear more of my tunes, aren't you? I bet so. I'm soooo enjoying them right now, so I bet you might too. ok... enough... movin' on to more fun....

Since I found the lovely SITS blog recognition home, I've been entering lots of blog drawings lately. Wow! I can't believe how many fabulous items are being given away. Earlier this week I won some cards from Hallmark's newest line.
Shannon from the Milk and Cuddles blog held a little contest for Hallmark. Be sure to check out her blog and see some of her other giveaways.

One that I'm really really hoping to win is the Dyson DC24. See my nifty button on the left sidebar. It will hook you up so you can try too. Maybe one of us can be the lucky needle in that huge haystack trying for it.
