A couple of weekends ago I went into Edmonton for a book signing and had the most awesome day! Not because I sold lots of books (ha!) but because I got to meet another blogger friend in real life and it was so cool. Angie and I spent the whole day together having lunch, hanging out at the book signing at Chapters, shopping and eating the best cupcakes in the whole world (that I’m still dreaming about!).
We have so much in common although in addition to being super organized, she is also is very talented in interior design. I am missing that gene unfortunately. She blogs over at the beautiful blog Echoes of Laughter so be sure to go check out her site. Thanks for the fun day Angie, it meant a lot to me!
So again there were another gazillion links in my “posts to link to” folder in my bookmarks that I needed to sort through. Some of you were so sweet last time to tell me not to worry about the number of links because you really love reading through them. Thank you! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with this week’s AWESOME links!!

I can’t wait to look through all of this because just this week I verbalized a pantry problem to my friend Stephanie at Stephanie’s Mommy Brain. She not only answered, she created a blog post to address my problem and some of her friends put their input in the comments! Here’s that link:

Thanks Laura for putting my wire baskets on your list! Makes for a great day when you see your project lined up with other great ideas. And it always so great of you to do the homework for us – it’s one stop shopping for inspiration, thank you!

I also love the links – in fact, I look through yours for cute crafty (but still organised) ideas :)
