Fantastic Friday!
I love Fridays because it means that I can sleep an extra hour on the weekends! YES!!!
First things first, we have a winner for the $30 gift certificate to Skimbaco who has also opened a new shop called Ladybugs-Everywhere. TOO CUTE! We had around 150 entries!! AWESOME:)
And the winner is………..WENDY from BABIES GOTTA HAVE IT!!!! WOOHOO:) I just went to her site and her little girl is absolutely adorable! I love the videos you do Wendy..it makes it much more of a fun blog to be at;) Thanks for entering everyone! Wendy, please contact me ASAP with your 411! You have 2 days…in the event that Wendy does not claim her prize, I will redraw and re-award another person.
There is all sorts of stuff going on here lately and I’ve been overwhelmed with trying to stay organized with it all. I’ve got a gal working on a new design and OMG, the graphic is SOOOO freakin’ cute! Can’t wait for that launch but it will still be awhile.
I am also getting bombarded with advertisers/companies sending me product samples and requests….I’m having to redo my inbox to filter everything correctly. Hopefully I can get situated with all this and post more often!
I’ve got some more big changes when I launch but I was wondering what YOU would like to see here at “A Cowboy’s Wife”??? Or what else would you like to see added on to the site??? Please let me know ’cause I have gazillions of ideas running through my head but want to hear your thoughts and/or ideas.
My giveaways at my recipe blog have been a HUGE hit! I hope you have all been entering people!!! Speaking of contests…Sparkplugging is giving away neat Deluxe Learning Kit set. I’ve entered because I want my little man to be as smart as he can be!!
Okay, finally I want to give some shout outs to some awesome people, well, because they are awesome and I LOVE them all!!
Meg from Lucchese to Louis Vuitton. She is sweet, whimsy, and just a fun read! Her design fits her perfectly and she’s always sharing photos of Mr. George Strait himself..YUMMY!
Sommer from Green and Clean Mom. She’s greener than green and if you are ready to go green yourself, you MUST stop by her place and check out all the green people & products! She totally rocks and is trying to turn me green. I need LOTS of help in that area. She’ll be launching her cool new place on June 1st with some AWESOME giveaways so be sure to subscribe to her folks!
Katy from I’m Blogging That. Katy is WONDERFUL! She has helped numerous times!!! I’ve even spoken to her on the phone for hours in the wee morning about some blogging issues! She just had a somewhat of a liberating day yesterday. Not only was she part of the Bloggers Unite for Human Rights, there was a human rights event that happened in California yesterday. Gays & lesbians are now legally allowed to be married. WHAT? Did I just lose some readers? Well too bad for you because she is great and so am I so ha! Congrats to her and Joanne, maybe now they’ll have the wedding of their dreams and Zadey can be the flower girl!!!!
Heather from Oh My Stinkin’ Heck. Well, just because she is a wonderful person all around. Nuff said;)
Connie from Brain Foggles. Connie is wonderful and an inspiration. She is always helping someone out and taking care of her own stuff (which is a lot!) and manages to do it all with a disability. I’ve always known that Connie had a disability but I never knew what it was all about and what she endures until I listened to her on Blog Talk Radio. Please take a moment to visit her site. She’s having a contest tomorrow that is a must see….
And finally someone in need of some help…… from The Domestic Diva. She has been a HUGE help to me getting me going on some product reviews and such and I’d like to say thank you. She is going through some stuff every since she got a tornado for her Mother’s Day. She’s having some financial difficulites because of it so if you are doing well and can spare a dollar or two…please consider donating. She has a family and could really use it. I wouldn’t tell you to donate to someone if I didn’t honestly think they were need. PLEASE:)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I’m posting Banana Pudding on my food blog tomorrow so watch out for that. It’s a family recipe you make from scratch!












Awww thanks for the link and mention! I’m so super happy about yesterday, I think I’m still glowing. And I am SO planning a wedding. I’m doing it right ’cause who knows how long this court ruling is going to last. LOL! And oh yeah, my Zadey girl is going to look so dang cute as the flower girl. Can you tell that I’m day dreaming?!?!? LOL
Katy Castros last blog post..Pleasing the Masses
You inspire me and help me lots too. I’m learning so much from you and for that and this shout out I thank you :)
Your blog is such an awesome read I don’t know what to suggest. I love, love, lover your photos so please don’t take those away. And keep on helping us noobs learn!
Connies last blog post..MommyFest Blog Party
Thank you so much for putting up some link love for me and my family. Desperate times call for desperate measures and I am so glad that you are helping get the word out. You are right every little dollar helps. I do not know what to say to the people that have already lent a hand to help us but they know that they truly will be blessed for helping someone in a time of need. No one asks for a natural disaster to turn their world upside down but if everyone sticks together we can all make it out alright in the end.
*big hugs* I am truly blown away by how generous everyone has been by spreading the word about our disaster situation. I honestly thought that people would just roll their eyes when they read it and click on through but really people are stopping and taking notice and it is because of people like you that we will be able to get our lives back on track as soon as possible.
If ever you need anything in return you know I am here.
Domestic Divas last blog post..the Kidlets are a Handful
Gosh, Lori..what an honor to be included in your list. I am truly touched. Thank you so much for the mention, you are such a sweetheart! I enjoy your blog so much and think the world of your blogging abilities. If there is anything I can ever do for you I hope you will let me know. I look forward to becoming better friends and if you are ever in the Hill Country, mi casa es tu casa.
Now…off to see that great pudding recipe AND enter my first contest ever…for your Mixer, let’s hope I have enough smarts to figure out how to do it!
Hugs from the Hill Country sweetie and enjoy your Sunday!
Blessings,
Meg
