{I'm going to start off by totally copying last F4F post and paste it...}
The orginal plan for this little ditty was for you to reflect on your week, write a post about 4 things you came across that you loved, and add a link to your post.
Turns out bloggers are busy people.
Who has time to write a separate blog post just for the sake of my linky party, right?
Duh.
I never even thought about that.
So, to make your life easier, I am going to ask you to add 4 links to the party each week.
Did you add a new fancy blog to your blog roll?
Did you make the cutest thing ever?
Did you read a really inspiring post that you wished everyone else would read?
Do you just want to get your name out there?
Tell me what tickled your fancy this week.
Simply add {up to} four links below so that we can see what everyone is falling in love with.
I guarantee that we will come across amazing things if people participate.
I won't beg you or anything...
But pleaaase seems fitting right about now.
See the new Fancy 4 Fridays button on my sidebar?
Made it.
Love it.
Go grab it.
This week the four things that tickled my fancy were:
1. Lemi Shine.
We have some seriously gross hard water over here. I have neighbors who like me, completely quit using their dishwashers in hopes of getting cleaner dishes. We even replaced our dishwasher. It did make an improvement, but now that we use Lemi Shine {swoon} our dishes look brand spankin' new after each cycle in our dishwasher. Seriously. Happy dance-worthy.
2. This necklace.
Perhaps I'm the only one who loves it though because it hasn't sold. I'm not sure whether I should be happy about that, and keep it, or throw a temper tantrum until someone buys it.
3. This little man.
He's currently sick with pneumonia (while on summer vacation...uber awesome...) and wants to cuddle 50% of the time and whine 50% of the time. Think happy thoughts that he's feeling better soon, k? Kay.
4. This blog. Cathe has a little studio full of vintage happiness. She has inspiring, simple, beautiful projects posted all the time. (My current favorite is this. I'll be on the hunt for some vintage bottles...) Go visit her. You'll be happy that you did.
So there you have it.
Four fancy things that made me smile during the week that consisted of tooo many stresses and misfortunes to list.
However, I did get four emails between Wednesday and Thursday that made the week feel better.
Four.
Hmm...interesting.
1. From Wild Rivers Waterpark telling me that they have a promo code to get you, my readers, $5 off general admission.
{use promo code SUMMER3 and click here}
2. From CSN letting me know that I am a CSN Preferred Blogger and they are happy to offer another giveaway here for you.
{deets on that soon}
3. From DrewB telling me some pretty exciting news that may possibly make me the happiest lady ever.
4. From my sweet friend Jenn who sent me the kindest words I have ever read. Why? Because she's beyond sweet and reached out to say wonderful things even when she didn't have to. Her email seriously made my day.
So really, eight fancy things.
I'm sure you can come up with four things to link up with, right?
Happy Friday.




Okay, my four links with explanations:
ReplyDelete1. The Big Picture - I love this site for providing really inspiring and touching pictures. The weather post that is featured today is a double love since I am a fan of extreme weather, as long as it isn't knocking down my house of course!
2. Healthy Snacks to Go - This one is a cookbook that I found this week. I haven't cooked anything from it yet but already have three of the recipes lined up to make tomorrow.
3. Hyperbole and a Half - I find this site hilarious. The post that I linked to is one of my favourites on there, especially as when I was in the 5th grade, our teacher wrote 'alot' on the board and offered $15 to any one of us that could find the word in a dictionary. From that lesson on, I secretly get annoyed when people spell 'a lot' as 'alot'....but now I just imagine a fuzzy monster.
4. Mr Jummy - In the Netherlands (where I currently live) this little guy is the mascot for a brand called Sultana. He's always hungry and eats Sultana products to make his tummy happy again. A few months back you could order him and I missed out, only to have my neighbour flaunt one in her car (took every ounce of restraint not to break in and get him). Just this month they brought him out again and I was determined to get one. My Mr. Jummy came a few days ago and he has been the envy of all my friends. ;)
Happy Friday!
Just one big one this week! Seeing my baby for the first time! :)
