Now I have gone and done it. Not only have I joined facebook, but I have actually formed my very own first group for the Lighten the Load Challenge. So if you are a facebook user, rush right over there and join the group. If you are not a facebook user, now is as good a time as any.
While I was at facebook today, I was able to add Jules Dervaes and Path to Freedom to my friends list. You know I can never get enough of them.Hope to see you there soon!
Drum roll please!
And the winner of Dining on a Dime is Mrs. Mecomber at Freaky Frugalite. Mrs. M is one of the busiest blogger type ladies I know. I have such difficulty keeping up with my lonely few blogs, but she has a plethora of blogger venues. Tawra will be sending the book toMrs. M as soon as I get her address sent.Congratulations Rebecca!
For those of us who did not win, Tawra has an exceptional sale (ends today) on the Dining on a Dime Cookbook and on a set of three great books that includes DoD, Penny Pinchin’ Mama and Dig Out of Debt. I could benefit from all three.
Thank you to everyone who participated. Stay tuned for my 200th post Giveaway…which actually happened several posts ago…but I did not want to run it at the same time as Tawra’s.
Okay, so you know I love to share and I found another great giveaway—

Tawra Kellam at Living on a Dime has graciously offered her book, Dining on a Dime, as a great giveaway to kick the year off right. Living on a Dime is having a 50% off sale on all their books and 63% on sets. Dining On A Dime has never been on sale for more than 25% off so this is a great deal.
I personally have three of the Living on a Dime books and cannot believe the amount of information packed into one book, especially for such a reasonable price.
So here’s the technical stuff.
The contest will run from January 1-7 and is open to United States residents only. Tawra will send the Dining on a Dime book directly to the winner.
Visit the Living on a Dime website at http://www.livingonadime.com/books/nys.html and take a look at all of the money saving books offered, then come back here and post a comment about your favorite. One first comment entry per person.
