Week 30 - You've Got a Friend in Me

Toy Story 3 came out last week on DVD and BlueRay and to say my kids have already watched it a dozen times is likely an underestimate.  So it was very fitting although completely coincidental that the theme song from the first series is our song this week.  That's right, You've Got a Friend in Me by Randy Newman.  Our sponsor this week, Crop Chocolate, has donated to one lucky winner $20 in crop credits to be spent on their amazing site!! 
CropChocolate.com – Sweet Deals for the Scrapbooking Addict! At CropChocolate.com™, we sell all-things scrapbook. But here's the catch, we only sell one item at a time – at a delicious price. Every day several items will be posted – so act fast – a limited quantity will be sold at deeply discounted prices. No time to let it temper. Several times a day, items will be sold on CropChocolate.com at delicious prices. It may be an embellishment shelf with all the works, a scrapbook kit, scrapbook tools or an organizer with some added goodies. What ever it is you can count on this – you'll get great products at outstanding prices.

You've got a friend in me, You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me, Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me, You've got a friend in me
If you got troubles I got them too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through

Cause you've got a friend in me, Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too, Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you, boy
And as the years go by, our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me.

Week 29 - It's My Life

Last week's challenge was doomed from the start.  First blogger held the post hostage, and then inlinkz went MIA across all of blogdom.  I offered up an extra day to complete the challenge and then came home Sunday night and sat down instinctively and closed it up like I always do...completely forgetting the extra 24 hours I'd promised.  I did include all of the links in the comments, but as an apology for those that were working still on their challenge thinking they had another 1/2 a day, I will be offering up an extra prize this week....see details below.  Also stay tuned in a few days for our latest DT call. 

The song we are boppin' along to this week is 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi.  Our sponsor is the awesome Crafty Ribbons.

They are offering the winner their entire collection of 3mm satin ribbons...EVERY color they carry!

This ain't a song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
 
It's my life, it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
 
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
Cause it's my life
 
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks
 
You better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bed, don't break baby, don't back down
 
----------------------------------------

Before I move on to the DT work, I want to share the goodies up for grab from moi that I spoke about in paragraph numero uno!  It's a back to school mini album kit (photo coming in a few hours).  Everyone who enters this week's challenge will be entered into a random drawing for this prize.  Regardless if you are chosen in the top 5 or not, your name will be entered into this draw as long as you link up a creation by the deadline. 

DT inspiration for you to sink your eyes into:







You will have until NOON November 7th (CST) to enter your link into consideration.  Please remember to link to your blog post and not the blog in it's entirety.  If app goes missing feel free to leave your creation link in the comments.  Also, make sure you are using this week's song as your inspiration.  You don't need to use the lyrics as your title or journaling, but if you stretch the challenge a bit, make sure you leave a trail of breadcrumbs so we can follow you on your awesome path to creative genious.  :) :)
