Happy Father’s Day!

To my dad and my sweet hubby, I hope you are each having a fantastic day. I love you!

To all of my fans, thank you SO much for your prayers, positive thoughts, and sweet words of encouragement. They are greatly appreciated. I am happy to report that we are officially home and my little boy is almost back to normal. Thank you again!

Before I move on to today’s topic, I’d like to announce the first-ever blog party on my blog, coming at ya June 22nd (that’s Tuesday)!

We’ll kick off the movie-themed party with a sneak peek and the usual win-my-new-release contest here on the blog. I’ll also be posting a challenge on Tuesday in the BlogFrog Community … you’ll have until 6/25 at 11:59 pm Eastern to complete the challenge to earn a discount coupon to my store and be entered into the drawing to win a $5 coupon to my store.

Be sure to stop by the blog on Wednesday to pick up your complimentary coupon code to my store. We’ll have a game for you to play along with … and if you submit the correct answers, you’ll be in another drawing to win a $5 coupon to my store. And in the BlogFrog community, we’ll be hosting a speed scrap at 1 pm Eastern. Everyone who plays along in the speed scrap will win a participation prize.

On Thursday I’ll be sharing a hybrid tutorial, and we’ll be hosting another speed scrap in the BlogFrog community, this time at 9 pm Eastern. Again, I’ll be handing out a participation prize to everyone who plays along in the speed scrap.

And on Friday, we’ll finish our party with a product reveal and a FREEBIE.

So mark your calendars for 4 days of fun here on the blog. Don’t forget to join us on Facebook each day and in the BlogFrog community for conversations all about movies!

Father’s Day Traditions

So, since it’s Father’s Day I thought we could chat about traditions for Father’s Day. I don’t remember any specific traditions we followed each year for my own dad. As a kid, I remember we use to try to come up with nice things to do for our dad … like creating coupon books (which was the inspiration for the Love Ya! Coupon Book in my store, which you can snag for 25% off today) or making him breakfast in bed. As I got older and started earning some money, I’d buy something for him. One year it was a “world’s greatest dad” mug … another year it was a “world’s greatest fisherman” hat. Then I started just buying him fishing lures. And now I typically just call him, because I have a husband to spoil.

This year I bought my husband a new wallet. But I was thinking, wouldn’t it be fun to do something each year, just for Father’s Day, and start a new tradition? I just barely had that thought this afternoon, so I’m running out of time to start the tradition this year. I’d love to hear what you do in your families to make the dads in your lives feel special.
