Entry to this giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all who entered!
I’ll make this short and sweet… I’m giving away one free photo card design! Go to my etsy store and take a quick look around. To be entered to win, simply leave a comment on this post - any comment.
It’s really simple - I’ll create a customized photo card for you, using one of my designs, and you’ll receive a high-resolution file that you can keep forever. You print them either from your home or from your favorite photo place. You can choose from either a 4×6 or a 5×7.
I currently have baby announcements, engagement announcements, change of address/moving cards, birthday photo invitations, and a few holiday cards (still there from Christmas!). Any design can be tweaked to fit any occasion.
Hope you win!
Oh, and go to Bloggy Giveaways for hundreds of drawings for FREE STUFF…

…but I have had a bit more time to explore. The internet, that is. Because let’s be frank - when you’re nursing, you really only have one hand free, and it’s much easier to browse and click one-handed than it is to type a post. So several times a day, I’ve been using Garbanzo’s feeding times to explore the blogosphere and what-not. And even though this might not constitute me officially writing a blog post, I thought I’d share some of the good places I’ve happened upon over the past few weeks.
By the way, is it just me, or is every last person and their dog pregnant right now? Am I a trendsetter, or what?
Okay, onward…
My current reading topic faves are personal finance/budgeting and home decor/frugality. Not sure why. No matter, here are my latest regulars on the topic of money management - I’ll get to the home decor topic another day.
- Get Rich Slowly - in the world of personal finance, it’s near impossible to find someone you agree with 100%. This guy comes close for me - I’d say I agree with about 80% of his thoughts. A great resource.
- No Credit Needed - another good site. I appreciate all the links he finds.
- The Simple Dollar - I don’t totally jive with his perspectives, but for the most part, he’s got good information and resources.
- An English Major’s Money - a fun blog written by a recent college graduate working in NYC.
- My Open Wallet - an anonymous New Yorker writes about her earning, spending, and saving. Again, I wouldn’t do things just like her, but that’s what makes personal finance personal. Interesting perspective.
- Dave Ramsey and My Total Money Makeover - I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again. Love Dave Ramsey and his approach to debt-free personal finance. With a few exceptions, we’re pretty much following his plan.
All these sites have more than enough links to other interesting sites, and I can’t begin to link to all the little blog posts here and there with good insight. For one reason, there’s so many, but mostly, it’s because right now I’ve got a crying newborn and a preschooler who has found the joys of stapling and pencil sharpening.
Gotta go…

Well, I had this embedded into this post, but it screwed up the page’s layout somehow. I don’t have time to tweak it, so instead, I’ll just link to it.
I have enough language blunders of my own, so it’s refreshing to make fun of other people. I’ve seen this video about 10 times, at every language learning seminar I’ve been to, but it still makes me laugh. HT to Kathy for e-mailing it to us.
