If you look over to the left, at the top of the left panel, you will see the subscribe feed and a place to enter your e-mail and under it is the RSS feed. I would really appreciate it if everyone would start signing up for both of those. It helps me to see what posts are drawing more attention as well as some other helpful info for me but it is also great for you. If you haven’t done this yet on your blog I would highly recommend it. It really helps because you can see all of the new updates, instead of having to go through every blog to see if they have new info.
I guess that is my new goal is to get everyone on the feeds. Maybe that will be what my next give away is about…hmmm–better go click on both of them.


We are going to the Zoo tomorrow so I wanted to get the winners posted this evening. I will have to take pictures of the zoo tomorrow. It is a quaint little zoo, not very big so don’t expect too much. (We aren’t going to the San Diego Zoo or the Omaha Zoo-oh they have a cool penguin exhibit) This little zoo does have a few amazing things that aren’t at your typical zoo. They have an alligator feeding time, (we’re in Florida after all) we missed it last time but we heard they hang meat over the water and you see up close, real alligators jumping for the meat. I can just imagine my little girls response-she doesn’t like bugs and she hears us talk about alligators in the water. It’s amazing that she loves going in the water at the beach and doesn’t associate it with water=alligators.

My favorite part of this zoo is the boat ride. It takes you out to all of these islands. Each island houses different kinds of monkeys and they tell you about each kind. I hope everyone has a great weekend. It has been so fun getting to know so many of you. I will announce the info on the next giveaway some time next week and then we have the first KNOCK OFF KNOCK OUT party on the 10th.


I was going to have the button up and ready tomorrow morning and then we decided to go to the zoo so I will have it up sometime tomorrow afternoon. I am going to make a few changed to the most popular one- #3 won but I am going to make a few changed to make it look even better. I hope everyone will grab it and post it to your side bars so more and more can hear about the new party and come by and join in on the fun.

We have 3 winners this week. (I will get my camera downloaded tomorrow and get a picture of G1 doing his drawings) We hit 100 followers so I am going to announce that drawing first. So let’s get to the winners.

The Winner who follows me is…..drum roll please…..Melissa from Melissa’s Heart and Home. Melissa registered just as I was finishing up everything. So, it never hurts to throw your name in to a drawing even if it is last minute.

The Winner from all of you sweet gals who left comments this week…..another drum roll…..Elyse from Cottage

The 3rd Winner is…OK-enough with the drum roll, I have children sleeping here… The Imperfect Housewife.

Congrats ladies. You guys are the best. I need you to e-mail me so I have a mailing address and I need to know how many children you have and the spelling of their names.

I can’t wait to announce the next drawing. Oh and the one after that is going to be super exciting too.

All photos are available at Its So Very Cheri 2 – OUR FAVORITE THINGS I have them divided up but I am still organing them and I am having problems with the button so if someone wants something over there just let me know.

Have a GREAT Saturday.
