Not you, Mom. I know you don’t blog. But I’m glad you read mine! I’m talking to my audience. Yup. You. You’re my audience. It just warms my heart that I have an audience. Hmmm. Maybe I ought to read, I am Nothing again.

ANYHOO, notice the button over there in my sidebar? Healing Designs is my new blog. I decided that maybe God can use some of this creativity for others, and maybe make a little money in the process. SOOO, I’ve made 5 blogs, and a couple websites. And now, I’m getting sick of pretending I have a client. And, well, since I’m not as fabulous as I dream of being one day, I just need a darn person. Just one person. Anyone will do. With a blog I mean. Not a do. A blog. A person. Ugg. You know what I mean. Just a person with a blog. That is what I need.

Well, and a person who wants a new design. And can tolerate me. And a bazillion or gazillion depending on the mood, questions. So if you’re in the market for a little crazy, and a little remodeling, email me at cathy(at)tibbles(dot)net. And I’ll get you in my line up. lol

Check out the design contest here: Kailani’s blog An Island Life.  Or check out the working blog downloads at Healing Designs.

Take care of yourselves, Mommies,

It is so cool to be on the cutting edge of all this Mom advertising going on.  If you haven’t encountered it yet, you are about to! :)  How it works is a company gets direct-to-consumer advertising.  And blog readers get free stuff.  For example, over at 5 Minutes for Moms they are having summer toys giveaways, and companies are giving away tons of stuff to their readers.  YOU go there and read the post about the toy that you want, leave a comment.  And they pick a winner, sometimes randomly.  In a scrapbooking site, I saw Hewlett Packard advertising a free scrapbooking PRINTER!  All you had to do was read the post about the printer, and leave a comment.  Yeah, ney, or otherwise - and be entered to win the draw!  How cool is that?

So to the point of THIS post - there is a relaxation, pampering prize at ChaseNKids.  Go there, read the post in that link, leave a comment, win by random draw a PAMPERING prize!?!?  how great is that? 

Don’t you love my new blog digs? I actually won a blog design from Shera at Sweet ‘n Simple Design! Isn’t it gorgeous? I think I’ll finally have to stop changing my theme weekly. Maybe you’ll actually recognize my blog! So a huge thank you to Shera! And her designs are incredibly inexpensive too - like a gorgeous premade template (one of a kind) for $40! Ha? Told you.

Hello Mommies,

The ladies who participated in the Mommyfest, and entered comments on my intro post were entered into a draw for a stationary set & journal.

And the winner is #12.Katie from Crafts by Katie.

Congratulations, Katie!  And thanks to everyone for visiting.  I hope that you all could make some use of the freebies that I posted last week to pretty up a card or desktop or something.  It was so much fun to make them.
