Weekend Favorites

I’m very happy this week to be making good on my promise to get rid of the Adsense ad in the blog’s sidebar. Between them, The Happy Cactus and One Crafty Mumma‘s sponsorships have covered what I usually make from Google, allowing me to turn off that ad. Thanks, ladies! If you’d like to join them, you can learn more here.

And don’t forget, I do have some trial coupons available, if you want to give it a try and see if sponsorship is for you. Check out those freebies here.
