I am so excited to let you know about the 2011 Fall Fashionista Giveaway Event! This is a HUGE event where over 100 blogs have come together to offer amazing giveaways valued at over $50 each! Thank you, Shelly over at Still Blonde After All These Years for hosting this fun event and Libby at Libby’s Libraries for hosting this Lucy Doo giveaway.

It’s where everyone wants to be from October 14-19. Take a peek here to see what other giveaways are in progress. The list is incredible!

I am excited to be able to offer this beautiful beaded set with pewter cross pendant as well as this multi-strand beaded bracelet. ($50 value) So hop on over here and enter to win!!

This gorgeous jewel-toned beaded necklace set is the perfect compliment to so many outfits. Every time I wear mine, I get compliments. PLUS, the pewter magnetic cross pendant is a lovely addition to this set. It is removable so you can wear it with other beads for an entirely different look.

And don’t you just love these colors? Each strand of these beads are individual so they can be worn together or separate, whatever is your pleasure.

Only a Breath {Giveaway}

I am so excited today that my sweet friend Melanie over at Only a Breath is hosting a Giveaway for Lucy Doo!!

Mel has been a cheerleader of Lucy Doo for several years now and I am so thankful! Thanks Mel!

When you read Mel’s posts, you can see that she’s a Southern girl who loves her family, loves her life, and “cherishes each breath along this journey.” I LOVE that!! She is so encouraging and transparent with the love of Christ that it’s contagious. She “drips Jesus”, as my friend Lucinda says. LOL

So hop on over to Melanie’s blog and read her Giveaway post. She’ll tell you what you need to do to enter. Hurry up, though, because this giveaway closes Saturday, September 24 at midnight EDT!!

Happy Shopping! I can’t wait to read your comments!!

Just Got to Share!

Have I told you all lately how much I LOVE the blog Under the Table & Dreaming by Stephanie Lynn???? She’s got it all together!

To quote Stephanie Lynn, “I love simple and classic styles with a mix of whimsy and fun. I have a passion for do-it-yourself décor, home projects and anything that keeps my creative mind going. I enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to make something on my own. {Better yet, simply by using things I already have around me} I believe style does not have to be compromised by a budget; no matter what that budget may be.”

Not only is she talented, but she has such a beautiful way of writing posts and sharing information. She’s at the top of my blog roll for sure!

Each week she hosts fabulous linky parties where you can find TONS of great ideas. She also shares yummy recipes that will make you drool at your computer screen! Love it!

This is just some of the excitement that goes on “Under the Table”!

You Can Afford Free{Giveaway}{Thrifty Thursday}

****Giveaway Winner is Cathy B of ProjectHope7!!!****

I am SO excited because today is my very first blog linky party!! I hope you will join me! (see instructions at the bottom of this post)

As you can probably tell by now, I am a coupon FANATIC!! It’s gotten to where now, after trying to be so thrifty this year, that I absolutely despise paying full price for anything!

Did you know that there are specials “out there” that just go unnoticed? I’ve always known of the traditional way to get coupons (newspaper) or print them online, but after doing some research, there are GOBS of coupons for the taking! You just have to know where to look.

Most of you have probably heard by now of Groupon. It is a site that will notify you of any coupons in your designated area. The whole idea is that when you purchase in bulk, you save! Groupon will pre-determine the number of “takers” it will need in order to offer a particular special, so if that number of people in your area buy that “groupon”, then you save money!

For example, today, there is a coupon for a Lifetime Membership and Two Classes at My Gym Children’s Fitness Center for only $39 (instead of the normal rate of $116.20!).

They post lots of coupons every day! Sign up for their free savings today!

I also found these sites for rebates, promo codes, and other coupons. Check them out

Ebates- they post online rebates and deals from over 1.200 stores.

Retail Me Not- this site is amazing! They post online coupon codes for over 60.000 stores!

Coupon Mountain- another site that posts online promo codes and online coupons.

Coupon Cabin- right now they have 151.118 online coupon codes and specials posted!

Coupon Code-another great site for online promo codes.

Did you even KNOW there were so much savings out there?? I wish I had known about this before Christmas!! I hate to think of the money I threw away by not taking advantage of sales. {sniff,sniff}
