Blurb's Chicken Soup for the Soul

It can be really hard buying books for people as gifts. After all, you never know just which books they already have. And then when you do find the right book and give it to them, how do you make it really personal? Put in a book plate? Write an inscription? How do you make the whole thing totally them?
These personalized “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books are one really great way to do it. Not only do you get to choose from five different story themes (from “Christmas Stories” to “Giving thanks”), you can personalize it in ways you just can’t with a conventional book. As the title suggests, these are stories meant to comfort and heal.
Chicken Soup for the Soul
Your custom “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book will truly be a book for them because the book is printed with their name on the cover as the recipient. And it’s truly from you because your name is printed on the cover as the giver. You can even include an inscription inside the book and on the back cover! Plus you can add a photo to the back.
There are other nice options to choose from like the type of cover you’d like and the type of paper. It takes just about five minutes to make it a truly custom book. And chances are, it’s something they’ll love forever. And a 60-page book starts at just $24.95.

I love having new visitors on my blog! It’s not every day, though, that I get a new visitor that drops in and offers me something extra special – until now! I got a visit from the Fairy Hobmother! The Fairy Hobmother is notorious for visiting blogs and spreading light and joy across the blogosphere – and gifts! All he asks in return is that we share his visit with others so he can continue his mission to spread happiness to bloggers everywhere! Easy, right? And fun! He is able to so graciously offer these great gifts thanks to Appliances Online. He then continues to visit other bloggers who have left comments on his visits to spread more light and joy and give more gifts! The anticipation of when he might visit is so exciting!
Wouldn’t you love to have a visit from the Fairy Hobmother and experience the fun and receive an awesome gift? Leave a comment and let him know where to find you. Make sure you include a link to your blog as well as an e-mail address where he can contact you if he so chooses and let him know you would love for him to visit! You can follow the Fairy Hobmother on Twitter as well! If you do get a visit be sure to come back and let me know! I’d love to hear about it!

I have always been a fan of Thirty-One products and actually own quite a few of them! I was excited when Nancy expressed interest in a review! As a business owner in direct sales myself I also LOVE to support other small business owners! 🙂 I had a hard time choosing which product to choose for my review because I like so many of them! I was in need of a new bag I can take quickly to the kids’ therapy appointments that is smaller than my “usual” bag I take when we have homeschooling work with us as well because we don’t always have books to take! I chose the Ruffle Cinch Sac because it’s cute, the size I was needing, and has straps you can just sling over your shoulders (similar to a backpack) when you’re ready to go! It also has a zipper pocket on the outside, which is where I keep my wallet and keys, so I don’t have to dig for them in the bag!

Here is my Cinch Sac Ready for me to grab and go!

The Cinch Sac is also available in black!

Black Sinch Sac

 
I love my cinch sac, and I’m very happy with it! It was exactly what I was needing! Our daughter absolutely LOVES the ruffles, too! She is so happy I got such a pretty bag! haha The great thing about it is I could easily put some of her stuff in it as well and let her use it!
