Just in case you haven’t heard about Shannon’s Fall Giveaway Extravaganza, all the specifics are here.

AND!

The next (long-overdue) installment of the Bloggity Book Club will be Wednesday, November 7, and we’re reading Leif Enger’s Peace Like A River. Stay tuned for details.

AND!

Lisa at The Preacher’s Wife has a great Beth Moore giveaway.

Not that she’s literally giving away Beth Moore, of course. Though I’m sure the winner would enjoy Beth’s company.

But Lisa is giving away a “Loving Well” Bible study kit, and you can click here for more info.

Okay, everybody – the Random Number Generator has picked two very fortunate winners who will receive the 5×7 print of their choosing from Kalyn:

Commenter #192 is Michelle McCoy
Commenter #217 is Jules @ No Less Than Five

Congratulations, girls! If you’ll email me, I’ll put you in touch with Kalyn.

But wait! There’s more!

Even if you didn’t win, you can still get an extra-special deal: from now until November 1st, Kalyn is offering buy one print, get one free. CHRISTMAS GIFTS, ANYONE?

And even better, she is offering special pricing for the internets:
4×6’s – $5
5×7’s – $10
8×10’s – $15 (unless they were priced $18 which makes them $13)

She can print any photograph in any of the sizes listed…and did I mention BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE?

Sweet mercy that’s a deal.

All you have to do to get the special discount is to place your order through Kalyn’s Etsy site, and in the box that says “message to sender,” be sure to indicate that you found her through BooMama.

Have a great weekend, y’all!

Y’all know that I love me a giveaway, and I also love me some creative people.

So a few weeks ago, when Kalyn, a sweet blawg reader, emailed me with a link to some of her beautiful photography, I couldn’t wait to have me a contest and share the love.

Here’s what to do if you’d like to win.

1) Click here to visit Kalyn’s site on Etsy.

2) Take a look at her photography once you’re there.

3) Come back here and leave a comment telling me which print is your favorite (I happen to love the one called Orange Juice).

That’s it!

I’ll leave comments open until this Friday, October 12, and then I’ll draw for two random winners. Each winner will be the proud new owner of a 5×7 print of his or her choosing.

Have fun!

I believe that this podcast is what you might call a hodge-podge.

I had to do some Terribly Awkward Editing for several different reasons, so just know that if you’re in the middle of the podcast and hear an electrical surge sound effect, that just means that the topic is about to change RIGHTNOW.

Or possibly that you have some serious wiring issues in your home.

Anyhoo, Big Mama and I cover a wide and completely random range of topics, including but not limited to our “elaborate” “fitness” routines, an update on some of our latest fashion finds and the new Bible study that Martha and her friends are doing.

Even better, there’s an unexpected guest appearance by Caroline that made me laugh so hard I couldn’t remember how to breathe.

Sweet Holly emailed me a few days ago to tell me about the Busy Moms Book Club that Lisa Whelchel has started over at her website. The first selection is Liz Curtis Higgs’ Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible, and you can find all the info here.

I would write more, but I need to get back to napping.

Happy Sunday, y’all.

Sweet Shannon has written an absolutely beautiful post, and you can find it right here.
