It’s that time again! Time for women everywhere to go cyber-partying with Five Minutes For Mom! If you didn’t get to join in the fun last year, you are in for a treat. It’s a lot of fun to take a week to go peruse other party sites you might not normally see. AND the opportunity for doorprizes… cool! There are about 100 or so nice prizes… here’s my top 10 in order of preference (the list is for the ease of our wonderful prize hander-outter… but you can check’em out too, cause their stuff’s cool… you don’t have to be a blogger to sign up for the prizes, but all of that info is on the link above).
-
A Rocking Horse that M would absolutely LOVE!
-
A Story Package from Cherish Bound that might make a good gift from me to ????
-
A Photo necklace from Elemental memories
-
A Living the Dream t-shirt (cause I so AM!)
-
A porcelain Easter egg (generally I’m not a knick-nack kind of gal… but these ARE pretty)
-
A $25 gift certificate to Amazon… who can’t use more books?
-
A Pirates of the Carribean portable CD player… cause.. well, I like music and that pirate! Argh!
-
A 6 week fitness plan ~ sure, why not?
-
And two blog designs here
-
and here.
Will I win? Who knows?! Either way, it’s all good… and it’s nice to be able to spread a little link love once in a while.
So, welcome to my Wonderful Life! It’s probably no better than your life, but it’s my little affirmation on those bad Monday mornings that my life really is wonderful, no matter what! Hope you bring your favorite cup to sip out of and a little nibble of something… I’ll do my best to refill your cup with myrth and good will and to pass along some plates full of the spices of life… but this really is a “make yourself at home” kind of place.
If you haven’t been here before, consider yourself introduced to me and mine. Maybe if the crowd hasn’t quite arrived yet we’ll have enough time to sit and chat about shared interests… “oh my gosh! You read that book too??”
or “what’s new with you? Well, my family is still relatively new at letterboxing… it’s such a fun hobby… maybe you’d like to come out with us some time to find our next treasure?”.
Or maybe we can take a little time to share our challenges… “hi… my name is Tammy and I’m a procrastinator and a carb-food junkie“.
You might even join us for a dance
or some fun and games.
It’s all about this wonderful life and I’m looking foreward to enjoying a bit of it with you for this short time. Maybe you’ll like it around here so much that you’ll come back often to share some quiet moments or joyful playdate days. Whatever you do, enjoy the music, good conversation and Welcome!
edited to add: I’ve added a page to my top nav to help me keep track of the places I want to revisit… and why. So, check’em out if you don’t want to bother going back to the main linky thing for right now…
party on!
And… oh my gosh! 810 partiers at current count! How am I ever going to get around to everybody?? More importantly, how are they all going to get around to me?? I was so psyched today that this blog surpassed my other “most hits” day last March!! Pretty neat since the post that gets the most hits here is usually the one about mosquitoes and listerine?!?
1263……. 1263!!!!! There’s absolutly no way… and I’m just scanning through to pick out the wordpressers first… oh my gosh!
8 or so more to go before I finish going through the first column!!! The first column!!! And that’s only the WPers… *sigh* ” so much time, so little to do… strike that, reverse it… on we go!”
Great party! I love love love your heart picture up there! So pretty! Sounds like a fun blog too. I’m bookmarking it so that I can come back!
Thanks for the party! I love your background music.
Hope you’ll be able to stop in and visit me.
Well I think I could definately join you in the carb food junkie dance! I love carbs!
happy partying to you…

Our Happy Happenings
Livin’ With Me
Hello. So, nice to meet you. I’m also hoping to win the tile necklace, it’s so pretty. But, I do hope you win…if I don’t get it, first ;o) Oh, and great idea about making a list of re-visits. Enjoy the rest of your week!
hi great blog party post
Nice to meet ya! I’m having a party too.
Thank you so much for stopping by to give thanks. I’m just now coming up for air. LOL – Still listing prizes. I was on #148 last count. You have a really nice blog and I enjoyed the music. Happy party hopping.
Hey all! I’ve tried to stop by everybodies’ parties… hope I haven’t missed anyone!
Quirky, yeah.. I love the hearts, but I like them even more cause they remind me of my salvation… and peacocks (because they’re cool).
Ellen… I so should NOT be a carb food junkie… it’s seriously a bad thing! Too much sticking aorund on my hips and my children have fallen into the trap too… not a good thing (but, oh, I love the bread… and chips… and french fries… and cakes and pies…)
Liz.. I’ll fight’cha for it! LOL na… you can have it (but only if I don’t get it). I use to have a silver necklace that had my twins’ picture in it and it broke.
Do you feel sorry for me yet? LOL
Oh and crochet Mama… can’t leave a comment on your blog, but know I’ve checked you out! Does that guy really crochet?
Nice to meet you!

I love your heart peacock feather header. SOOOOO cute! I’m a homeschooler, too… and glad to meet you at the blog party.
Great party! Not sure how I’ll visit all the blogs either, but I have got to at least try! LOL!
Everything looks wonderful around here – and I am also a procrastinator and I’m addicted to the internet LOL!
Have a great week =)
Happy blog party!
I dig the music on your blog.
i’m with you…how will i ever visit everyone and will anyone notice me? i am #129 on mr. linky so i have decided to visit everyone before me and then i am going to try to visit everyone that is in a mr. linky number that ends in 9! and maybe some more that catch my eye. i hope i can at least visit that many! happy blog party!
Nice to meet you. Happy partying.
I’m trying to hit all the blogs I can. I ended up #218 on the list. I’m just starting with #1 and working my way down. I love the fact that I can open all these pages in tabs rather than new windows. I’d never get anything done without a crash.
Have fun!

:):)
I thought Wynken HAD music?? What tune is it that I’m hearing in my head as I say it?
I’ll be back to search through your blog and site. Love the rocking moon image on the shop page.
Party on!
Tammy
(sorry… can’t comment on your blog…)
Just visiting from the party, great blog you have. Hope you are meeting lots of nice people, I know I sure am. I’ll have to go have a closer look around your site while I’m here.
Love the tunes!
OK… I think I’ve returned the favor visits and I’m somwhere around 300 on the list, only hitting wordpress bloggers first. But of course, if you’ve stopped by and been so kind as to chat with me, I’ll not resist the opportunity to come chat with you!
:):)
Party on!
Tammy
Hi Tammy,
I love WordPress but there are many things that it can’t do that Blogger can. I had seen many people with stickers or sticky notes on their Blogger blogs and wanted to do that so I played around with WP and figured out how to do it MANUALLY. I go into edit everyday on my party post and put 23:59 on the time stamp for that day. It stays at the top of the page. Hope that helps.
Now what I have never been able to do *pause while I look away embarrassed* is put something personal in my header. I know where to go and the size it has to be but every time I do it, it doesn’t work. I noticed you have a pretty header. How did you do it and where did you find that?
Gina
Hi. Great blog here. i practically live off carbs and I always have! I don’t have weight issues, but I’ve had a lot of dental problems, and I just found out that foods with a lot of carbs cause cavities, so I’m in big trouble!
Thanks for stopping by my party. I am enjoying your blog.
Thanks for visiting my blog! (awrokoftheheart.wordpress.com) Yours is great too. I use this for my photography blog.
As for my 4 column one for myself…I LOVE it! I love the 4 colums, BUT the actual poating area is small….so I always have to edit any photos I out on there!
Thanks, and happy partying!
Great party! Thanks for having me. Hope you have been able to keep making the rounds to all the blogs! If you get time before it all ends come visit me and say hi!
