I’ve read lots of painting DIY tips today and yours is really the most entertaining. In addition to some painting tips, I’ve learned a lot about husbands, kids, and others. Those are great bonuses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-34889188136424178052008-07-07T07:55:00.000-08:002008-07-07T07:55:00.000-08:00I snorted over SPFrench Beret.I lvoe getting dirty...I snorted over SPFrench Beret.<BR/>I lvoe getting dirty on big house projects.

Esp. loved the Housekeeping Tips and the Promote Your Blog Niche ones. <BR/><BR/>One of your big themes is community and that blogging isn't (or shouldn't be) competitive. And after reading you longer, I've got a small question for you.<BR/><BR/>It's about carnivals. Almost every carnival has rules about linking back to the carnival page (and using their button). I've noticed that you participate in the Thursday Thirteen and WFMW carnivals, and yet I never see you linking back to them. <BR/><BR/>Is it necessary to link back to carnivals? Or is that just an optional thing?Jane of Seagull Fountainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842786356309158400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-19585179004416350252008-07-03T06:23:00.000-08:002008-07-03T06:23:00.000-08:00Great Thursday 13!!
