Some Bid’ness

October 21, 2008 by Elaine

1. Jen sent some Good Mail and I was so happy to receive it. This is a Halloween pin that is fabric and looks “quilted.” The picture DOES NOT do it justice. So cute! Thanks Jen, you send GREAT mail! ; )

2. I am leaving Thursday morning for my girls trip and I have one “surprise” guest blogger set up for Thursday (yeah!) but would LOVE to have someone else to guest post this Friday. Anyone up for it? It can be about anything you want and as long or short as you want it to be. I am putting out an S.O.S here!

3. There is another round of the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival next week and I will have something to give away (not EXACTLY sure what yet…). If you want some exposure for your blog and/or just want to check out all the cool stuff you should really check it out!! It’s a lot of fun.

4. Speaking of giving things away, I feel like offering something up before I leave. A while ago (yeah a couple of weeks after BlogHer!) MomSelect was nice enough to send me a left over box of BlogHer “swag.” Included in that box was a little girls One Step Ahead Sun Smarties 2-piece coverall (size 3T). And seeing as we don’t really have a need for a “girl” one around here, it can go to one of you! : ) Leave a comment saying that you want it before 10 p.m. Wednesday night and I will post the winner on Thursday before I go to the airport!


5. I feel like I need a fifth thing but honestly, I got nothin’ except to say, leave an extra comment today on a blog you love. It’s a good day to do so, don’t you think? : )

    Hey, my girly would fit in that – throw our name in the hat! Cute! Well, I think so anyway…who knows if she’d actually wear it since it’s not a dang skirt.

    Hmmm, I sure do wonder who your msytery blogger could be!

    Since Lovey’s almost 1 and only weighs 16 pounds, I won’t enter your giveaway! Someone else with a 3T size girl wants it I’m sure!

    Could you please pack me in your suitcase and take me with you on your trip. I’m lots of fun, I promise!! Your friends would love me too! I really need to get away 😉

    Girly get-away…I’m so jealous.

    Maybe I’ll win the cute outfit. That would totally help. Esp since our daughter has no winter clothes yet. =)

    hey, still need a guest blogger? if you do, sign me up!

    how do I get in on the “good mail” fun?

    i can’t wait to hear about your girls trip!!!

    I’m going to do the Bloggy Carnival and I just figured out what I am going to be giving away and I am very excited!

    I can’t think of a fifth thing either cause Kirstyn is way too big for a 3T outfit!

  24. Kristen says

    October 22, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    Oh please please please!!! Anya is size 3T!!!! Yup, that’s right. My just turned two year old is size 3T!!

    Fingers crossed, fingers crossed!!

    When I was pregant with the third boy, I told everyone, “I don’t care if he is a boy, he is wearing PINK anyway.” But I really didn’t do it. It will be a cute outfit for some lucky little girl.

    Have a fun girls trip!!

    Butterfly would be so cute in that outfit.
