thursday giveaway!

There hasn't been a giveaway on this blog in a while and I am so excited that Ashley from Rainstorms and Lovenotes is joining us today and giving one lucky reader a chance to win an amazing prize! Uncommon Goods  is an online store that has the neatest items. You know that person that you can't buy anything for because they already have everything? This site is your solution, trust me. Here are Ashley's ten favorite finds:

agate cheese sets // love letter napkins // musings iphone case // vase // letter book // light bulb aquarium // ring // tasting plate // wooden routing // succulent wall planter kit

I am pretty sure Ashley and I are the same people (or just have really good taste), because I love ALL of these items. How perfect would that vase be as a wedding gift? And that succulent kit? You know I am hooked. Now you have a chance to win a $25 gift card, so happy entering! And send some love Ashley's way, I know you'll be glad you did when you see the food she whips up. Some people make it look so easy. Winner will be announced Friday, April 26th.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Hi, I'm Ashley Nevis, from Rainstorms & Love Notes! I live in Raleigh, NC with my wonderful husband TJ, and our two cats, Owen and Taby. I started Rainstorms & Love Notes as a way to document my life as a newlywed, and to have a place to share recipes and DIY projects with my friends and family. I love traveling, getting hooked on great TV shows, obsessively buying nail polish, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I hope you'll stop by and take a little peek into my world!

passionfruit is the bomb. period.

I finally did it! I made the plunge and switched my ads over to the very wonderful and oh so easy Passionfruit Ad system! Why it took me so long I am still wondering myself. And with the life change and adjustment happening around here, I need to make things in my life as easy as possible.

Not only is it now easier for you to sponsor Blank Pages, the ad sizes are so. much. bigger. Also, they actually look like they fit my page. So all while making both of our lives easier, you get a larger ad space along with all the perks of each one. Win, win, and win again.

So, won't you join me? Think about it and go HERE to see the changes. I think you'll like them. Maybe you'll even want to stay a while; I know I'd love you to.

sponsor for february

There is nothing I am committed to more than making the most out of your sponsorship because, it really does stink when you invest money and don't see results. I strive to make sure that is not the case on Blank Pages. So, if you'd like to join the party, check out the options and shoot me an email at amyjpalmer54(at)gmail(dot)com

This little space is growing and I could not be happier about it!

"I've loved advertising on Blank Pages! Each month I see folks meander over to my shop excited to pick up a new hat that wouldn't have known about me otherwise, and I love the attention Amy gives to her sponsors."
Robyn from She Makes Hats

yesterday & a blog friend

via

Yesterday, the weather was gorgeous. I stepped outside and instead of feeling the muggy humidness of Florida weather, it was cool. The sun was behind the clouds and the breeze was blowing. Sweat didn't instantly drip down from my face and back. Oh, it was pretty much perfection. If seeing fall styles appearing on all the blogs didn't get me into the season, this new found weather most certainly will. So please, weather, keep it up. I think we've got a good thing going ;)

---------------------------------------------

Need a new blog friend? Well this cutie is certainly one to connect with.

Hi Blank Page readers!  Amy was so sweet & has given me the opportunity to stop by + say hi to introduce myself!  Thanks for bearing with me, I appreciate it :) 

So I guess I better start off by saying I'm Christina:

and I blog over at My Life, Laughs, & Love - a blog about my life, things that make me laugh, and the love of my life (betcha wouldn't have guessed that one...)  I also share my weight loss journeys/struggles and the occasional embarrassing confessional post, and anything/everything in between.  

I'm not really an "outstanding" person, but am rather a pretty average Jane (which is completely okay by me!)  I love my fiance, family, friends, (and football), and am completely obsessed with my job.  What do I do, you ask?

I teach.

High schoolers.

Geometry.

And I'm 5'2".

I'm sure some of you are rolling your eyes thinking "ugh, why?!" while others are rolling your eyes thinking the job is a piece of cake, but I don't teach your average run-of-the-mill kids.  Mine are truly special.  I've met young men & women from all walks of life who don't let any obstacle come in there way.  Whether it's a not-so-good home life, a disability, or a dispassion for Math, the fact that they show up each & everyday to give it there all is what brings me back to work.  Can you remember how tough high school can be?!  

My dream is to inspire at least 1 of them in the way that each of them do for me (and I hope I'm already off to a good start - my past kids greet me with huge smiles & big hugs... I'd consider that a success!) and I can't imagine doing anything else.  

My life isn't always perfect, but I'm happy it's mine & I'm glad to live it.  I hope you come on over to say hi + share my experiences with me!  Be nice though, I don't take harsh criticism well ;)  Thanks again & again, Amy!

--------------------------------------------- See? She's a keeper. Give her blog some love everyone.

"See this tentacle? It's actually shorter than all my other tentacles, but you can't really tell. Especially when I twirl 'em like this."
 Okay, maybe not the best blog opening line, or is it? Obviously this girl has spent way too much time with kids and is hopped up on vitamin C trying not to get sick for the THIRD time in two months.

Meet Evon

from Evon Von

My name is Evon and I'm your typical 20-something girl trying to find her way in this world. I'm a roller derby lovin' girl and I hope to get good enough to join a team. I always try to be positive and optimistic! No matter what circumstance I'm in, i always try to look at the bright side of things. I am a mother to a 3 year old crazy boy, and a military spouse. That means that my life is non-stop! I love having the opportunity to move to a new state every few years, but i hate the actual moving part. I have many different interests, I'm really a serial hobbyist! I love cooking, making jewelry, photography, knitting, drawing (badly) and singing (even worse!) but I love myself some 80s music and a karaoke machine! I love browsing thrift stores and antique shops, and thanks to Pinterest Ive got too many ideas than I have time to work on. I support my community and I support my country. I always try to buy local first! I love to network and I am always looking for ways to connect with people. My blog, evon von is my own account of my daily life. I am able to keep track of all of the adventures, trials, projects, and inspiration that I come across. I love being able to look back on past entries and 're-live' moments that I experienced some time ago. It also gives me inspiration when I see my progress. As I find my place in this big big world I use my blog to document everything.

---------------------------------------------

Go to her up and coming blog to see her adorable son, her bucket list, and her movie mondays. Who doesn't love a good movie review, right? It sure saves me money when I go to rent one for an in-home date night!

PS- since Evon was the only new May sponsor, even though she opted for the small ad, she got to have the spotlight all on herself for a day. Yes, you should be jealous.
