Shopaholic in Alabama

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful week so far. Still 90 degrees here, but you best believe I ordered the Conrad sweater in the Multi Lotus print. If I ♥ it as much as think I will, I'll be ordering the other one next! :-) Today I ask you a huge favor. My BFF and fellow blogger Bethany (over at Maryland Pink and Green ) is hosting a "Card Shower" to celebrate her Nana's 80th birthday. It's soooo easy to help Bethany with this shower - just send a card to Nana for her birthday. Sign your name - and you can write her a note if you'd like! Here is a link to Bethany's original blog post about the shower. I plan to mail my card tomorrow! Nana lives in assisted living, so you can imagine how thrilled she would be to receive 80+ cards in honor of her birthday? Join me and let's make Nana's 80th birthday her BEST yet! Send cards to: Jenny Rodger 529 Freemason Drive Elizabethtown, PA 17022 And while we're on this to...

Happy Friday! Today I'm thrilled to offer two posts (rare around these parts!) as I'm hosting Follow Friday with my BFF Bethany over at Maryland Pink and Green . Of course you guys know I'm Lori from  Shopaholic in Alabama What a fantastic idea to host Follow Friday - be sure to add your link on today's blog hop. You only need to link your blog to the list once and you can add it on either of the 2 blogs hosting the Follow Friday. Your link will be visible on the list on both blogs throughout the week so a lot of people can find you! Blog readers will see the same list on all of the blogs and will be able to "hop" from blog to blog. What a fun way to find new friends! If you have not joined previous weeks, be sure to add your blog to the list today. Even if you've already added your blog on another blog hop, add your name to the list today since every week is a new list. Here's how to play: 1. Find new blogs to follow and be su...

Happy Good Friday, my fashionistas! Sorry I've been a tad MIA on the blog and twitter this week. I have been enjoying time with my family in from out of town, we've had such a wonderful time. Now everyone has gone back home (insert sad face). Most of you will remember that Shopaholic In Alabama, along with BFF Bethany over at  Maryland Pink and Green co-hosted a Spring Gift Swap. I was matched up with a friend named Kristin for the swap. Kristin and I met at the Lilly Pulitzer warehouse sale in the summer of 2007 through a mutual friend. Over the past six or so months, we also have enjoyed getting to know each other better through another online message board. Earlier this week, I was thrilled to recieve my package from Kristin. Soooo much fun! Let me tell you what all was included - margarita mixer, margarita salt, beautiful pink cocktail napkins, "crazy" colorful straws, blue & green butterfly water bottle for my workouts (have to sweat out the cocktai...
