Book Reviews by Ehlen Administration

For those of you who know about my digital scrapbooking addiction, I wanted to invite you to the St. Louis Digi-Gathering at the end of the month. I am not even sure I will be able to go because I will be out of town, although I desperately want to! But I want to promote it as much as I can, because I want it to be a success and Hummie be encouraged enough to make it an annual thing :) Then I can go next year. There will be prizes, crops, videos and all sorts of fun stuff. Putting info below, and please go!

Well I'm happy to report that I think I have actually received everything I won! Shocking, I know. But I got the CD (which David has been listening to constantly - we moved the CD player into his room), the expensive shoes for this fall, the flag t-shirt - Brazil, btw - will be su re to take a pic of him in it and send to all my Brasilero friends - and my Mommy Needs Coffee shirt. And, I even got a prize I didn't know I had won, a set of two books from ChristianBook.com called Echoes From The Edge by Bryan Davis. They were autographed too. Pretty cool. You know I love me some ChriFi. Now if I could just dig up some time to read them. Keep a look out on this blog and my Facebook page for pics of the cute kids, we had our meeting with the Our 365 lady today, and as usual they are all phenomenal. Having photogenic children is quite expensive, I must say.

Some of the contests I entered didn't close until recently, so I have won some more! However a sad note, the adorable little shoes I won from Happy Chickadee are too small for Rachelle. Yes, she inherited her mommy's long toes. This made me sad, as they are every bit as cute as their picture. Never fear, some lucky little girl will receive them. In fact, I think I know just the lucky little girl... Anyway, here's the tally so far continued from the previous post. First, unrelated to the Bloggy Giveaways but a blog contest entered previously, I won a kid's flag tee-shirt from Whimsical Walney. The giveaway was hosted by Crystal at Kid Buy Products (ha ha, get it?). I haven't received it yet, and am not sure which flag will be on it (I gave her my top 3) but hey, a little patriotism never hurt any kid, right? Ok, related to Bloggy Giveaways, I won a couple of shirts for me! Yay for me! The first one I received today - so I know the address I'm giving out is right...

You know how I like to win contests. And the Bloggy Giveaways have hundreds of contests to win all in a single week However I'm aware that there are sooooo many people entering that my chances are slim. This makes a win that much more fulfilling! First, is not a win from the current Bloggy Giveaways, but from a company who I discovered at the last Bloggy Giveaway - Happy Chickadee . I subscribed to their newsletter and entered a contest listed in that. Look what cute little shoes I won for Rachelle! Aren't they adorable!!!! Ok, on to the actual Bloggy Giveaways. First, a disclaimer, as you remember I won several giveaways a few months ago, and most did not reach me. I don't know if people screwed up the address or what, but the fact that I got one of them but not the rest leads me to believe it was sender error. So pay attention to the zip code number order, I realize there are a lot of 3's but I know you can do it! From Jolanthe at No Ordinary Moments I won a Bible S...

Ok, so I'm taking a brief time-out from actually entering bloggy giveaways to say if you're visiting because I entered your contest - please pick me! Oh, and scroll down for cute baby pics :)

So I actually have won a couple contests recently, and I should give them a shout out. First was something for David, but probably not until he's a little older. I won a t-shirt that you can color in the picture, and then it washes out so you can recolor it before wearing. David's not into coloring yet, so I got a larger size, because I'm sure this will be way cool pretty soon. The shirt is from Color in Kids , and we got the Race Car one. I won this off a blog, but I can't find the email so I can't remember which blog contest it was (I enter LOTS) but when I find it, I will properly credit, I promise. The second thing I won recently was subsequently gifted to my mom. I *think* I won it off the In Touch magazine contests, but I'm not positive about that. Anyway, it's from Freeze 24-7, and it's the Freeze & Go Instant Smoother and Brightener . I'll let you know what mom thinks of it, but I thought the red packaging stuff was super cool looking. ...

Made a combo Christmas/Birth Announcement card. I haven't had much time or energy to make one yet, late pregnancy takes a lot of you!
