Mauby's Giveaway For Joplin

Wanted to link you up with Mauby's blog and her giveaway that is set up to encourage donations to the relief efforts for Joplin.  Entry deadline is Monday, June 6th.

Art For Joplin

The folks at Moosylvania have big hearts.  I wanted to pass on this link for those interested in helping Joplin rebuild.  We live two hours away and this tragic event and it has broke our hearts.  My son and husband have been apart of the clean-up and have witnessed the disaster first hand.  These posters caught my eye and I wanted to spotlight businesses that are donating their time and money for Joplin.

"Moose art directors have created a selection of limited edition designs to be purchased and screen-printed for $25 each - all of the proceeds from these posters will benefit United Way's Small Business Fund, a project created to help in the economic reconstruction of Joplin after many of the city's small businesses were destroyed by the tornado that touched down in May."  Click here.

Saturday Link Love

Some clever person had this on their Twitter feed this morning.  It immediately brought back fond memories of Saturday morning cartoons.  Bugs Bunny was one of my favs along with Elmer Fund, Daffy Duck and the rest of the Looney Tunes.  I hope this picture of Bugs giving Gossamer a manicure gives you the same warm fuzzies that it did me.

 
I am off to spend Saturday morning with my daughters at our local Walk MS.  I have recently become friends with someone that has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  I hope that one day soon a cure will be found for this terrible disease.  Here is a link to find out more information and how you can help:  National MS Society.

Have you heard about Heartsy yet?  This is a wonderful new sight where you can get exclusive deals on handmade items, 50% or more off, guaranteed.  Pretty cool, don't ya think?

And what would make your Saturday extra special but to bake up a batch of Brownie Covered Oreos!!!  You heard me...brownies + oreos = love
