Welcome to I'm Ticked Pink No. 3!

This week I'm Tickled Pink about

1 awesome blog

1 birthday wish
1 terrific cause
1 {or 2 or 3} green ideas {and a contest} 

{don't forget to grab a button - at the bottom of the post- if you have been tickled pink}

The awesome blog 

is Saving Money and Living Life

Authors Heather and Jessica are

Saving Money and Living Life and

sharing their tips and tricks with us! Yeah!

 I'm tickled pink because...

1. I have no idea how to coupon and save serious cash at the grocery store, BUT they do, and I am learning...thanks to Heather and Jessica! See how they save at Publix.
2. They highlight super deals and freebie offers on everything from lotion to cupcakes to coffee to macaroni and cheese {and even magazines sometimes - another of my addictions!} - check in often for the deals.
3. They can throw one heck of a baby shower without breaking the bank!
4. They cook...check out this recipe...better yet, they are honest and share their kitchen fiascoes turned superstar meals {I can SO relate!} .
5. I am giving my kitchen a makeover and always on the lookout for ideas...You have to see what they can do to a kitchen...all DIY! It looks amazing!
6. They are going after my own heart with their Wedding Wednesday posts that provide brides with some seriously good, economical planning pointers.

One birthday wish

This one is for for Michelle at
So Wonderful, So Marvelous.
I couldn't pass this one up...
it is Michelle's birthday after all!

Oh yeah, it is my birthday too, 
"Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us...."
back to the topic...

it is Michelle's idea that has me tickled pink.

Michelle says it best...

"Will you give me a gift and do a random {or not so random} act of kindness? It's so easy.  You can tell someone how they have changed your life or how much you love them. You can rake your neighbor's lawn or help them clean out their garden. You can have coffee with a friend or buy lunch for a stranger. You can leave change in a vending machine for someone else to find or pay the toll of the car behind you. You can tell someone how pretty they look or make a donation to your favorite organization. Help a family that has been in the news lately or send a letter of thanks to your favorite teacher. You can drop off flowers to a nursing home or take balloons to a hospital. You can just start with a smile." {You need to visit her POST for all the scoop}

And guess what if you help make her birthday wishes come true, she has prizes for you! But you must hurry...Saturday {4/17} is the big day and the winners will be announced then...you must enter by 4/16 at 11:59 p.m. So..HURRY...go visit So Wonderful, So Marvelous, do a random act of kindness, leave a comment and wish Michelle a Happy Birthday too!

 

One green idea

{and a cool green contest}

I just L-O-V-E Lucky Star Lane. Not only do they do their own very cool crafts {seriously go check them out}, but they also host Lucky Linky Tuesday. For the month of April - Earth Day is coming - they are going green! Check out their posts on going paperless, hoarding {did they write that for me?}, washing fruits and vegetables, and reusing items.

And they are having a cool green contest, about Jean Crafts...it is all about celebrating Earth Day in a crafty way and repurposing old jeans. I am working on a project! What about you?

One terrific cause

I saw this over at The Stylish House, and was completely tickled pink about it.  Enchanted Makeovers, founded by Terry Grahl, is a non profit organization. Their mission {as stated on their website} is "to transform shelters for women and children into heartwarming havens, it's the catalyst to help everyone’s dream come true." Are you kidding me...what an unbelievable and amazing organization. I thankfully have never been in such a situation, but at some of my previous jobs, I have met many women and children who have needed a safe haven...and how fantastic would it be if that place could be warm and welcoming too.

Enchanted Makeovers has been picked as one of 10 finalists to win $10,000 in the Make a Powerful Difference Contest. So please vote and with your help we can make this happen! You are eligible to vote once a day until April 21, 2010." Click HERE to vote {you need to register, but it is easy}.
