One day I may be posting an awesome crochet pattern and the next day I may be talking about guns or hunting. Let the fun begin!Amanda Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308106147160483967noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606685136600106151.post-32869682510151908042012-01-09T14:24:00.000-08:002012-01-09T14:24:02.003-08:00I am currently participating in a 30 day photography challenge. It's just something I've decided to do for fun on my personal facebook page, but I figured I would post it on here to give my followers an option to join in on the fun. I will post my pictures (starting with the first 2 days on this post) for each day. You can leave a link to your photos in the comments section. I would love to see what types of ideas everyone has. So, without further ado, here is the list....<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5lPKmXZFKQs/TwtoVSRv6mI/AAAAAAAAACs/Al5bDZB69ZY/s1600/untitled.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="203" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5lPKmXZFKQs/TwtoVSRv6mI/AAAAAAAAACs/Al5bDZB69ZY/s400/untitled.bmp" /></a></div>(I realize that this is a little hard to read, so here is the link to the blog I got the challenge list from: <a href="http://whitepeachblog.com/2011/05/25/photography_challenge/">Original Photography Challenge</a> )<br /><br /><br />Day 1: Self-Portrait<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Md-7TtDbkLI/TwtnXCz8BiI/AAAAAAAAACU/i5cxIdknTb8/s1600/100_2324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Md-7TtDbkLI/TwtnXCz8BiI/AAAAAAAAACU/i5cxIdknTb8/s320/100_2324.jpg" /></a></div><br />I HATE taking pictures of myself, but sometimes they are a necessity. This was one of those moments. Blah!<br /><br />Day 2: What you wore today...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tQIlte6rJIg/TwtnuZAtcRI/AAAAAAAAACg/7EMZZdU9gWs/s1600/100_23301.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tQIlte6rJIg/TwtnuZAtcRI/AAAAAAAAACg/7EMZZdU9gWs/s320/100_23301.jpg" /></a></div><br />This is a picture of my wedding rings with some of the clothing I wore today. I wear my rings at all times, even in the tub and while doing dishes...do you?<br /><br />Day 3 will be posted tomorrow, that is if there are even any clouds to take pictures of. It's been really dreary weather here lately. We'll see :D<br /><br />See you all tomorrow....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3606685136600106151-3286968251015190804?l=crazyandlovingit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amanda Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308106147160483967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606685136600106151.post-68904742439572283482012-01-09T13:52:00.001-08:002012-01-09T13:54:55.604-08:00Enter here to win an Ipad 2.

I'm by no means a writer, and in my opinion, not very interesting. I decided to start a blog to have something to do with what little bit of free time I do have. I think maybe I should introduce myself. My name is Amanda, and I'm from a VERY small town in WV. (Yes, I do have shoes and wear them often...lol). I met my husband over 4 years ago and married him 3 years ago. I found out I was pregnant with my daughter around 3 months later. I had her in August of 2009. She is a wonderful 2yrs and 4 months old. What a time I have! I also have an 8 year-old stepson. We don't get to see him much, but that's another story entirely. I graduated from college in 2010 with an Associates Degree in Business Administration. I am not currently working (besides being a full-time mother which we all know is harder than any other job). My husband is currently a part-time laborer at a local sanitation department. I am very frugal and try my best to find great deals on ANYTHING I need to buy. My site will consist of deals, steals, and freebies. I will also include reviews on products, fun crafts I've found (because I love to craft {mostly crocheting}), and any other thing I find interesting. Some of you may enjoy things I post, some of you may not. I am open to anyone's opinion. I will do my best to give you all honest answers to any questions, and I hope to forge lasting friendships out of my time spent on here. My blog may get off to a slow start, but I am hoping to expand it. I am also open to any suggestions you may have. If you find a craft, book, joke, etc. (anything really) that you find interesting and would like to see it posted on my blog, send me an email or leave it in a comment. I do hope to, one day, also post giveaways. Thank you all for dropping by, and I hope to see you back. Later :D<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3606685136600106151-2780747230731970965?l=crazyandlovingit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amanda Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308106147160483967noreply@blogger.com1
