Come and Join the ULTIMATE Blog Party!

Welcome! If you are stopping by from the Ultimate Blog party, I am so glad that you stopped by. If you are one of my regular "Bloggeritaville party goers" then this is a great chance to become introduced to some really great blogs, who are also a part of the party!

Hi! I’m Leigh, a Southern Girl who loves nothing more than having my feet in the sand, wind in my sails, and turquoise waters to look at. That is where I draw my inspiration for much in my life. It is where I feel closest to God. My decorating inspiration taps into that special place as well. I am a mom of three great kids, and am married my childhood crush. I am one who loves a good party and loves new friends. You will find that my blog is an eclectic mix of stuff, much like me. I am the equivalent to a pot of gumbo, I suppose. There's alot in there simmering....and steeped in love and fun.

Speaking of gumbo...I also have three other blogs, aside from Tales from Bloggeritaville (where I post five days per wekk):

Plates & Places-recipes and the stories behind them

Photographic Memories-My Photography Blog

Smug Mug-a collection of my Photographs for purchase

Baby Gone Shoppin-My online garage sale

Photography Web site- though mostly outdated o such things as pricing, you can still get a jest for my photography.

Every Thursday, here in Bloggeritaville, I host Thrifty Thursdays. It is a show and tell of sorts, where one can link up and share a thrifty find. I am not picky, it can be a garagse sale find, a thrifty treasure, a family freebie. So, join me back here on Thursday's. I would love for you to join in on the fun!

Take a look around, and if you like what you see, I do hope you will come back often. Like business cards, I am offering up my buttons on my sidebar, a token created by my friend Charnita. As I mentioned before, I love new friends! So come back, anytime!

5 Minutes For Moms is a great site that hosts a blog party every year and it has just started today. The blog party will run for a full week with LOTS of prizes and a while lotso fun!
