This past Tuesday night I picked up Angie’s book and figured I’d read a few pages before I went to bed.

When I finally put the book down, I was on page 129 and couldn’t figure out where the time had gone. I loved it immediately. And if you haven’t read I Will Carry You yet, know this: you will feel the same way.

I have three copies to share with y’all, and if you’d like to try to win one of them, just click over to my giveaways page.

The giveaway will close this Sunday night, May 2nd.

Right now I am completely carried away with the clothes from a company called Nations Outfitters – mainly because they have some of the cutest, most feminine clothes I’ve seen in a very long time.

And the good news is that the great people at Nations are giving away a $100 gift certificate over on my giveaways page. You can use the gift certificate to stock up on all manner of spring and summer cuteness from their website; I know that y’all are going to love their stuff.

Just click here to join the giveaway fun!

I just posted the winner of the first $50 Visa gift card (courtesy of BlogHer) in the Tropicana Juicy Rewards Campaign.

If you’d like to enter the second $50 gift card giveaway, here’s my most recent Juicy Rewards post.

Thanks, y’all!

– I just posted the winner of the Initials, inc. giveaway.

– Don’t forget about the Amy Grant “Somewhere Down the Road” giveaway – you can win a Flip video camera, a 20-CD library of Amy’s music, or one of 10 autographed copies of the new CD.

– Finally, I’m participating in the Tropicana Juicy Rewards campaign with BlogHer, and you can enter to win a $50 Visa gift card on my first Juicy Rewards post. I’ll be writing six posts for this campaign, and there will be a gift card up for grabs on each one.

There.

I believe that’s it.

And by all means, have a lovely afternoon.

…because, well, you can win a Flip video camera.

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

You can also win some really great music.

And it’s all because of a wonderful new album by one of my very favorite singer/songwriters.

You can find out all the details over on my giveaways page!
