August 2010 wrap up

September 1, 2010 By TidyMom 2 Comments

WOW……..I don’t know if I’m sad to see August come to an end, or relieved!

It means summer has come to and end……but it also means my blog move is complete!

As always, I would like to say Thank You to all my readers, friends and family who have make TidyMom so much fun!!

The TOP 3 Posts for the Month of August

of course #1 was the Silhouette Giveaway!

#2 was the Peanut Butter Frosting

#3 was The Monogrammed Stenciled Canvas bag I made

A Big THANKS to the top referrers to TidyMom in August….you guys ROCK!

I have FANTASTIC sponsors! Have you checked them out? Each one is not only a fantastic site, but they are ALL wonderful women who I’m proud to say I work with!

If you are interested in a sponsor partnership with TidyMom……just send me an email tidymom{at}charter{dot}net for my media kit and more information.

August, I must admit, was a struggle for my 365……I was so busy- making sure I took a picture each day was quite a challenge! (I cheated a few days and used a picture from another day…….but hey, it’s MY project, I can make the rules! ha!)

I love looking back at each month this way……

Don’t forget to check my Tumblr blog TidyMom Finds for what I find around the web. I update it almost daily.
