On Monday I’m going to start five days of fun and games-related giveaways! Grab this button and put it on your blog, then leave a comment on this post telling me you did. This will be your special extra entry into EVERY giveaway. I wanted to do it this way so that people who actually read my blog could have a little bonus.

I hope you like the new blog look. MILLIONS of thanks are in order for all of the help from Courtney from A Mom Speaks and Mom Giveaways fame. She put in a lot of time transfering the files from blogger and figuring out this new layout! I am eternally grateful!
Also extra bonus thanks to Katydid and Kid for making my cool fun and games button!
Here are some snapshots to help you appreciate the beauty of Luang Prabang, Laos:

I LOVE that cave entrance photo! Those doors look incredibly gorgeous. Are there LOTS of caves there? I would imagine so…
I love the new look, I grabbed a blog and oh goody! I love games! Last but not least, Kathleen is just a whiz at button making (in addition to everything else she does).
Ta Ta dearie, talk later!

I’ve got your (or should I say my) button up. Being the perfectionist I am, I keep thinking I should have made sure the “1″ in the 15 didn’t blend with the background. I don’t know why I didn’t notice it before I sent it to you. Let me know if you want me to change it, or if that’s too much trouble to reload.

Thanks for sharing. This is a part of the world I’ve yet to get to, so it’s nice to see some beautiful images so I have some idea of what it is like.

Wow, I really like your blog! I’m adding your button to my own blog.
Gorgeous pictures. Now, I’m off to read further to figure out the ‘rest’ of your story…. aka, why are you in Laos?

Beautiful pictures! I added your button to our site. Thanks for stopping by; I don’t have pics right now of the inside of my peek-a-boo boxes, but follow the link to see Qbee’s inside.

This is an area of the world I would love to visit. We came close during our 6-month trip, but at the time there was a spate of random violence that we weren’t comfortable with … hopefully we’ll make it out that way again in the near future.

I have the button up! And I have to tell you, I struggled to find you after you changed platforms. Granted, I am not so tech savvy,but I couldn’t access your old site and I eventually found you by clicking on one of your contest entries at momdot, then tracking you down from there - yay!
