This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Tammy from Cricutmouse's Craftynook.

Hey there! I’m Tammy from Cricutmouse's Craftynook. I was thrilled to have been asked to do another showcase of my blog by Deezy from Deezy Does It blog. I gained many followers from the first time thru back in February (I believe).

I used a file from My Scrapchick seeing as she has been so generous to sponsor the showcase this week.

The file is Card Essentials Vol 2 and they can be found here:
Card Essentials Vol. 2

I made the card for my cousin and his wife to be. Their wedding will be on
October 11/13. I gave them some homemade items for their shower and they were
a big hit. I hope the gift and card are going to be as well.

The poem for the inside I just googled and really liked it. It is fitting for
this couple

Thanks for stopping by. Please be sure to stop by my facebook page also.

Pimpin' "IS" Eezy! (The Doyle Dispatch)

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Dory from The Doyle Dispatch.

Hello bloggers! I am so thrilled to be featured for this week's Pimp-Out Showcase! It's been great to find many new blogs this way, so I hope you will enjoy finding a little about me and my blog! My name is Dory, and I am behind The Doyle Dispatch.

My husband and I have recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary (and 10th dating anniversary), and we are about to welcome our first babies (twins!) into the world this winter. I started the blog as a way to document our married life together, and what a wonderful journey it has been so far! We started as high school sweethearts, going to senior prom together. We then endured one year of a long-distance relationship while we were in different colleges before I transferred to Virginia Tech. Go Hokies! Throughout it all, we stayed together through good times and bad. We have faced our share of challenges from family deaths to illnesses and tragedies, but our relationship has grown stronger because of it.

I first became a blogger in January 2009, when I started a blog to document my DIY wedding (the blog is http://bridesaver.wordpress.com/ if you are curious), and I loved it! My wedding goal was to get my dream wedding on a budget, and I was able to achieve it! My parents gave me a set amount for our wedding, and I was responsible for managing every penny into making it my dream day. With the Bridesaver blog as a guide, I found success with my tutorials and themed posts, and I loved the freedom that being a blog writer could give. Of course, blogging was just my hobby, as I was also studying for my master's degree to be an elementary school teacher. (By the way, I did have my dream country club wedding on a budget that was less than a typical non-country club wedding for the area. I had a top-notch photographer, dream bride and groom's cake, the Hokie Bird as a guest, and a world-traveled band that has played for Presidents… all on a budget, thanks to DIYing.)

I started teaching in 2009 after getting married, and I left my wedding blog and started Doyle Dispatch. As I continued with my teaching career, I continued blogging, documenting the events of a newly-married 20-something couple. In the summers, I would focus on my DIY projects, and the blog developed. Tim has even written some posts about our goals and successes with getting out of debt and living like no one else. (Thank you Dave Ramsey!) A little DIY, a little documenting, and lots of describing… we can be wordy. With my current pregnancy with twins, I am taking a year off of teaching to focus on bringing my healthy babies into the world. My blog still has the focus on our lives, but I am also taking advantage of my platform to help other Mothers (to be) of Multiples in navigating the differences between our pregnancies and those of singleton moms.

Along with documenting our life, our travels, our financial goals (and staying debt-free), and my twin pregnancy, the blog has also turned into a great place for me to document all of my DIY projects (along with many tutorials). I'm not picky with my projects, as I love them all! I recently started selling some of my personalized work, and that has become a fun side business for me (www.personallyyoursbydory.com).

So come on over to our little space on the web! We will hopefully keep you entertained with some easy reading and interesting content! I can't wait to meet some of you!

Pimpin' "IS" Eezy! (My Daily Jenn-ism)

Welcome back to the Pimp-Out/Showcase Hop!!!

Brought to you by Deezy Does It!

Before we begin, there are just a few simple rules to the hop.

1. Follow the Host (first link):

2. Follow the showcased blogger: My Daily Jenn-ism (Second link)

3. Link up below using Linky Tools.

This week's Pimp-Out/Showcase belongs to Jenn from My Daily Jenn-ism.

Hey there! I’m Jenn from My Daily Jenn-ism.

Before I even go any further, I’d like to thank my girl, Deezy, for giving me the opportunity to be pimped out on her page.

Thank you, Deezy! Love you!

I’ve been blogging for two years. As a matter of fact, this past July 26^th was my blog-iversary. Deezy was one of the first few bloggers to befriend me in the blogging world and bring me into her part of this wonderful little blogging community.

I’m a married mom of 3. My husband and I have been married for 12 years. I’m proud to say he is the love of my life. We are on round two of “short ones.”

I’m a proud military momma of a 20 year old son, who serves in the US Navy. Our daughter will be 11 in a few weeks and our beautiful foster daughter will be 7 the day after our daughter.

I initially started blogging to exercise my creativity while writing my book. It instead became an outlet where I can help people with the good, the bad and the ugly that life throws at you.

I’ve got a little bit of everything in my blog from what it’s like to be a foster parent, to living with lupus, to being a survivor of suicide x2, to parenting, to just life “stuff” or total goofiness.

Don’t be scared… It only sounds dark and brooding. Truth is I’m a total goofball who will always seek out the silver lining and just laugh at life.

I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned that God really does give you things for a reason – and every crappy moment can be used for good to help another. That has been something that I try to do as often as possible.

…um, make lemonade??

Life is short – so it’s all about finding the good in every second. There’s always something good.

Please feel free to come and visit me both on my blog page: My Daily Jenn-ism
