Free Download....

Everyone loves a free download.
Everyone loves a throwback quote.
Can I get an Amen. free download If you’ve followed for a while, you know I have a giant frame wall lurking on my to-do list.  It has only been at the top of the list for about eight months.  It is one of those tasks that I am terrified to start, because in my head it looks amazing but what if on the wall it just looks amazingly awful.

So I make excuses.  We don’t have enough frames.  The bathroom renovation will surely knock the frames off the wall.  We have to cover the return vent first.  I can’t find art I like.  Yada, yada, yada.

The remedy:  I have started making my own frame wall art.  Well, little miss little miss little miss can’t be wrong.  ‘Member that catchy little tune?  How about Matchbox 20, do you remember them?  Me too. matchbox20 quote free download I still love that song.  Sorry if it is stuck in your head now, but feel free to sing it all day.  I know I will be.

You can sing it on our Facebook page and I will get in on the karaoke session with you.  Or holler on Twitter and we can sing in rounds.

All of the downloads are 8 x 10 files.
Just pick your favorite color and put it in the comments and we will send you the file.  Make sure you leave your email, and feel free to grab multiple colors.

Then sing all night long…all night….all night.

If you like the download, you can gain my undying love by pinning it.  I’ll give you my first-born for sharing it on Facebook.

Obviously kidding, sort of, but sharing is caring my friends.

Funny Karma Story:  Yesterday I was talking to a friend about making mix tapes for an upcoming road trip.  I told her I could listen to anything but Nickelback, because Nickelback makes me cringe.  That same friend also gave me instructions last night on how to offer free downloads to readers (so go thank her).  Which allowed me to share the print above, the one that has been on my computer since February.  That same friend has also pointed out, this quote is not a Matchbox 20 song.  It’s a Chad Kroger song….it’s a Nickelback song.  Is this my life?  Apparently, I don’t hate Nickelback as much as I thought since I am memorializing them all over my frame wall and the internet.  Say a prayer for me, I’ve entered full on depression mode.

Oh the shame.

If there is one thing that I am a complete sucker for it is cookies.

Maybe it is because I have never been a fan of pies & cakes, so cookies were my spoils of choice for things like birthdays.  Or maybe it is because there are almost endless flavors of cookies, and I like to try them all.  Or maybe they are just tasty and I have no willpower.

You know when cookies are the very best?  When they are delivered.
Know when they are better than that?  When they are free.

I am lucky enough to team up with some pretty sweet (pun totally intended) bloggers and Cookie Gift Baskets to bring you the most delicious giveaway you’ll find.

Would you believe me if I told you a month ago I wrote about our precious honey boo boo child.

Yea…me neither.  But you better believe we are going to celebrate it like an eighth grade romance.

Even more unbelievable is how amazing my mom has been…visiting the site over 6,000 times.  Thanks mom!

Ok but seriously, this blows my mind. 

I guess it surprises me because I assumed the only people who would actually read what we wrote would be my family and maybe one or two friendlies.  And while I am sure they make up the majority of that number, I still am amazed that we got over 6,700 views in just a month.

Yes, I realize for most bloggers this number is puny.

We are not most bloggers….so we need to show you all our UNDYING GRATITUDE for coming and reading what we have to say.  Even if it is just once, we are glad you are here.

We love writing about our adventures, but we love it even more when you all enjoy reading it.

I hope this post doesn’t come off pretentious or braggy…I am just over the moon with excitement that people may actually smile because of something they read here.  Seriously, comments and messages make me as giddy as a Bieber fan.

So we are going to encourage them….and bribe you.

We are giving away a $50 gift card to celebrate our big one month.  Consider it like that awkward rose your eighth grade boyfriend gave you in honor of this momentous occasion.

You want in on the fun, all you have to do is subscribe.

Go to the right sidebar, find the little box that says, “Don’t miss a post” and enter your email.  Then just hit sign me up and you are in.

You will have to confirm from your email inbox, don’t forget that part!
There is nothing to pay for, and no cancellation fee or anything.  No worries, just fun.

Once you subscribe, you will get an email when we write up a new post.  So you will be all up in the know.  But that’s it, no spam…cross my heart.

Your odds of winning are pretty good since we are such a new blog, so go subscribe.  We will be picking our winner on Tuesday, September 4th.

And now for my favorite part of blogging, the love.

I am getting this collage of encouragement framed, because these comments mean more to me than chocolate-covered bacon.  That’s really saying something.

HAPPY ONE MONTH LITTLE DIGGITYS!!!!
