It Doesn't Have to be Perfect to be Beautiful + Cottage Charm Giveaway Update

I'm so thrilled to have something fabulous (and free!) to share with you today! The Nester, of The Nesting Place has written an E-book based on her mantra,her battle cry - It Doesn't Have to be Perfect to be Beautiful!

"I truly believe that the home where you live in right now can become your dream home. This ebook isn't a step by step list of rules for you to follow to achieve a perfect home but rather a fun read that will free you to make your home what you want it to be starting now." ~The Nester

For more information and to sign up to receive this free e-book, just visit the Nester here!

Well, we're exactly one week into the 2009 Cottage Charm Giveaway and I'm happy report that we already have (as of this writing Friday morning) 24 giveaways- almost a quarter of a way to our goal of 100 giveaways! Thank you ALL who are supporting this event either by hosting a giveaway, spreading the word by telling others about it on your blog, or by signing up to win the lovely giveaway offerings! We couldn't do this without you! I've set up a Flickr account just for photos of all the giveaways, so take a peek and become a Cottage Charm Giveaway Flickr contact if you'd like to stay up to date with all the giveaways that are added daily.
