So I’m browsing through my Twitter, when suddenly I see one that totally catches my eye.
“Where are all the Harry Connick Jr Fans? http://bit.ly/10csTz Win his NEW CD! #vtechtoys #giveaway“
Curiosity kicks in because, well, it’s Harry Connick Jr. Check the picture! Dreamy to the max, no? Anyways, so I go on over to the link and over at One Bored Mommy, they are giving away his new album!!!!
Sounds like a serious win to me! I love Harry Connick Jr, besides the dreaminess, he is uber talented, in my opinion, and I really dig the type of jazz he sings. The practically big band, but not type of jazz. Best of all though, check out the tracklist for this album below. Basically it’s the best, all time love songs from the past 60 some years? How could I not blog about this giveaway!

Without divulging any personal details, Miss Violet, aka Elli, of the famous Lime and Violet podcast, Happy Housewife Sundries, Oak River Township, and many more lovely yarny things really needs to escape her current living situation, and needs legal help to evacuate from her toxic marriage.
As a way to thank her for being a wonderfully creative, inspiring, and fantastically interesting person, several of us have decided to donate some or all of our profits to her cause.
This list will probably grow as the days progress, and I will try to keep it current with how long everyone is in for!

Please, if you can give a little, or a lot, she could really use the help. Thank you all!

I know this is not craft related, but I just have to share because it’s amazing. I love the strength and loyalty of animals, and this quick video shows just that.
