I'm guest blogging over at the Live-Inspired site today.



It's one of my favorite places on the world wide web, and I just know you're gonna love it too.

Lettered Cottage Reader Discount at Live-Inspired.com

Remember when I blogged about that random act of kindness that happened to me the day before yesterday?

Well, the folks at Compendium (Live-Inspired.com) read my post, and the sweet comments attached to it, and were kind enough to send me an email last night offering our readers a 10% discount on all of their products between now and the end of the year!

Yippeeeee!
LOVE THOSE FOLKS!

The discount only applies to orders from last night (at 7:00pm CST) 'til December 31st of this year. So unfortunately if you already placed an order (like I did!), the discount won't apply. BUT, if you held back and didn't get a few things because you were trying to keep your order around twenty bucks (like I was!), just know that whenever you're ready to splurge again- you'll get it for 10% off!

The night I found their site, I go a BUNCH of metal postcards, like the one my anonymous friend sent me.
There are SO MANY cool phrases to choose from!
They even come with matching envelopes...

Photobucket

And at 49 cents a piece, well, let's just say my twenty bucks went a looooong way!

Photobucket

Here's the stuff I didn't get, that I will eventually use my 10% discount on...

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

Anywho- here's how to take advantage of the discount...

When you're ready to check out online, there will be a place to enter the code...

(Note: This discount cannot be applied to orders placed before 7:00 pm CST on July 22. Also, they can’t apply the discount after payment has been made, so make sure you check that it's there before you pay!)

Happy shopping!





PS-

If you left a comment on our post yesterday (or any day for that matter!), I want to take a moment to thank you.

Because you're sweet, it may not seem like that big of a deal to you to send us an encouraging or complimentary message now and then, but I want you to know that those kind words make all the "tough stuff" I don't blog about, SO much easier to deal with.

I just really wish I could give ya a big hug and tell you in person!
Why can't you live closer, darn it!?

Random Act of Kindness- A Magical Metal Message

(Please read the important UPDATE at the bottom of this post!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember a while back when I wrote a post about Random Acts of Kindness, and the one that changed our lives a couple years ago?

Well, something like that happened again today,
and because your my BFF in the WWW

(That's "whole wide world", not "world wide web".
Although.
Wait a second.
That would kinda make sense too, huh?
Neat!)

Anywho, because you're my BFFITWWW- I just had to show you what I found in my mailbox today!

Let me start off by saying, a mere 5 months ago, a trip to our new mailbox meant bundling up and running out to it as fast as I could so that I could get back in the house, and out of the cold.

Photobucket

These days, on the other hand, a trip to the mailbox means figuring out how little clothing I can wear without getting arrested, and running out to it as fast as I can so I can get back in the house, and out of the heat.

Okay, so I'm exaggerating a little.

But dude- I'm serious...it's BLAZIN' in Bama right now!
It was 97 degrees before I even got out of bed this morning.

Holy Heatwave Batman!

The air was so heavy I probably could've swam to the mailbox if I knew how to do that kinda thing.

(Hi. I'm Layla, and I don't float.)

Anywhooooo....when I opened the mailbox (a.k.a. "scalding hot metal container") today, I found a little, yellow bubble envelope (a.k.a "bubble-ope") waiting for me inside.

It didn't have a return address on it...

Photobucket

...so I was dyin' to know who it was from and what was in it!

I ran/swam back to the house and ripped open my mysterious bubble-ope, and discovered this 4" x 6" metal greeting card inside of it...

Photobucket

There was a handwritten note on the flip side...

Photobucket

How sweet is that!?

And what a cool card, right?

Of course I HAD to know more about "tin can inspriations"...

Photobucket

...so I typed it into Google (and I even spelled "inSPRIations" the way they did), but nothing came up.

Photobucket

So I asked my trusty sidekick to see if he could find anything, and bless his heart, he somehow found their AMAZING site, and this AMAZING video...



So to YOU (my BFFITWWW)...

and to the kind, anonymous, soul who sent that darling metal card...

and to all the other lovelies that have reached out to me through the mail over the last couple of years...

Thank you for brightening my existence!

PS- I just spent an hour scouring the Live-Inspired site, and I just bought like SEVENTEEN items for just $28 bucks!
