It’s Saturday already? Time for some link love




I found some great giveaways to enter.

Design Mom is giving away Blue Poppy jewelry. This is such lovely jewelry. Enter by midnight on Tuesday August 12.

Cars for Girls is giving away 3 iTunes gift cards. Enter before Friday August 15.

Check out 5 Minutes for Mom for several back to school giveaways. One of the great prizes is a $100 online shopping spree at Hanes for Kids. Enter by Tuesday 12.

Robyn at Robyn’s Online World is having another great giveaway, for a $50 Amazon.com gift card. Enter by August 29.

 

I recently posted about Blogging the Recession, to encourage readers to click through feeds and to click around on your favorite blogs. I want to encourage you to check out the blogs listed under Inspiration on my sidebar. Just a few of my favorites right now:

If you have never visited 37 days, please do. Patti’s book, Life is a Verb, is now available at bookstores and Amazon. To celebrate the book she’s asked her readers to share their “37 days” story. What would you do if you only had 37 days to live? Beautiful, thought provoking reading. Definitely something for all of us to think about.

If you enjoy beautiful photography, visit Chookooloonks  photo blog. Just lovely.  She also posts at Shutter Sisters.  I really enjoy photography, I wish I actually took good pictures but I’ll settle for looking. If you’re an aspiring photographer these are great places for encouragement and tips.

I also love the beautiful, simple photographs at South End Blend. Her blog just makes you feel like kicking off your shoes, grabbing a glass of lemonade and staying awhile.

I’ve already expressed my love for Christine Kane’s music, but I also love reading her blog. She’s a very wise woman, and many of her posts just instantly resonate with me and things I’m struggling with.

And for a really great read, visit Derfwad Manor. I was hooked after the first visit, she’s just hysterically funny.

 

If you’ve got some shopping to do, gifts to buy, I can help. (Yes, these are all things I would love to have someone give me, if they were so inclined).  Here are some great gift ideas:

Superhero Jewelry. I.Love.This.Jewelry. I’m not a jewelry wearing girl, but this is just lovely and I would wear any of it. I’m partial to the seaglass Superhero necklace, it’s got my favorite colors. I also love the bullseye pendant.

Kelly Rae Roberts etsy shop. I love her artwork, obviously, because I gave one of her prints away a couple weeks ago. She also has a book coming out, Taking Flight: Inspiration and Techniques to Give Your Creative Spirit Wings.

Christine Mason Miller also has beautiful, inspirational artwork in her etsy shop, as well as a book coming out soon, Ordinary Sparkling Moments.

 

That should give you plenty to do. Enter giveaways, shop, check out those great blogs, and have a wonderful weekend.
