My business cards are here!

My business cards came in the mail the other day… I really love them (and, of course moo.com did an awesome job). Great quality! But, I think they’re just a wee too light in color. Next time… I will make them darker. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m only sorta seriously freaking out about how close BlogHer is! Are you going? Are you freaking? Ok. Glad I’m not alone. ๐Ÿ™‚

BY thee way… are you ready for an awesome guest blogger line-up while I’m gone? Me too. I decided to not even try and blog while away… I will probably pop in here and there… but, mostly I’m outta here! ๐Ÿ˜€ You can definitely find me wandering around on Twitter for the entire trip. For sure.

My Free Crappy Portrait

I almost forgot about this! I emailed the talented artists at Free Crappy Portraits to get a free portrait! I sent them the following info:

My absolute most favorite meal would be fried chicken with a glass of wine. <—- classy. I always draw myself with antlers on my head… don’t know why. I love shoes. I have a little girl (Ruari, seen in photo) that’s 19 months old. She loves… doggies, horsies, oranges, and potstickers.

The thing is…. it’s not a crappy portrait! I just love it! LOVE it! Totally printing for my home thanks Free Crappy Portraits! Head over to get your own! ๐Ÿ˜€

Thank you.

{Website//Blog//Facebook//Twitter}

Have you heard of the Clever Girls Collective? You haven’t? Well, you should know them. These ladies connect bloggers… like you and me… to the big brands. Sponsored posts. Twitter parties. Ummm…. BlogHer parties (wow, can’t wait for that)!
I’ve mentioned them a couple times here and there on my blog. I joined up with them…. hmmm, maybe a year ago? I was looking for some way to connect with companies to make a bit of money on the blog… without looking too sponsored… you know what I mean? Well, I found these ladies. They connect us to companies we wouldn’t normally have an option to work with and in return… we write a sponsored post. The fantastic thing about the Clever Girls sponsored posts: They give you a theme and you write and talk about what you want to… following the provided theme. I like to have complete control over my blog. I don’t want to throw a bunch of words and sentences up that I didn’t write… like a big giant ad. I get to write what I want… share what photos I want. It’s a beautiful relationship! 
If you’re looking for a great connection to companies… check out the Clever Girls (for guys too by the way)… Seriously. Let them know I sent ya! They are a huge reason why I’m making it to BlogHer. They partially sponsored me and 8 other blogs to go! Thank you!
