and click on follower if you want to add that feature. Only 39 to go before I add in another bird nest to the drawing this week.

Do any of you have Questions you would like me to answer-it has been really fun answering each of your questions. I would love to have you over and sit on the back deck and sip a glass of home made lemonade and chat about decorating, but to be quite honest it is so stinkin’ hot, you wouldn’t want to sit outside. We went to the pier the other day, all 4 of my Men and my Dad-all wanted to go fishing. Me and Miss G-4 went down on the beach and had fun walking in the water, actually she enjoyed jumping in the waves. The water temp on the pier was listed as 87 degrees-that is getting more like bath water. Plus we don’t have decks we have lanais in Florida. A girl can still dream about having all of her new friends over for some food and fun. We could do every blog party out there:Metamorphosis, tablescapes, and thrifty finds, goodwill finds and painting with chalkboard paint, rate my space-all of them…

Now for an update on the followers-you gals are doing it, doing it. You want those bird nests don’t you. 10 new followers yesterday. If there are 10 new each day this week we will hit the 100 mark by Friday night and there will be another sweet bird nest going in to the drawing. I am visiting lots of new blogs as well-my list of blogs to go visit, weekly, is getting out of hand. Yes, I do go by each blog on my list every week. If someone doesn’t have any new posts, I don’t make any comments but I have still stopped by. At some point, it will be hard to visit everyone but I do enjoy coming by for now. There are just some woman, that inspire you. You need people in your life that inspire you-people that inspire you to become a better person, to challenge you in new ways, to hold you to a higher standard, to make you want to know The Lord in a deeper more personal way, people who challenge you to be a better mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend. I don’t want to stay the same, then I become stagnant. Have you ever been by stagnant water?-it has a foul smell to it-that’s not what I want for my life or my family’s. I want to keep moving and washing out all the yuck in my life so I am refreshing to those I am around.

Now on to a different note:
I had one person having problems figuring out how to add my button to their side bar. I know several of you are new to some of these features so here is a quick and easy tutorial on how to add the button. It really is simple. 4 super simple steps. If you have never added one, you will be so glad you tried this and learned something new.

Step #1 COPY (control key and the letter C) the code in the scroll box under the bird nest picture.

Step #2 Go to your blog page and go into CUSTOMIZE and click ADD A GADGET

Step #3 Click on HTML/Java Script

Step #4 in the small title box-make a title (something like It’s So Very Cheri Give-A-way) and in the big box you paste the code (control key and the letter V) that you copied from my blog (from my scroll box)
