Hope everyone has a safe and spooky Halloween!! I can't wait to steal my little man's candy ;o) Still no PSP for me :( And all these new tubes that PFD is putting out just makes me miss tagging more and more!! Until I can play, I'll just be a shameless siggy piggy :) Have a great week everyone!!!

I'll do the good news first..I just reached 100 followers!! Yaaaayyy!! And I didn't even have to offer anyone free tubes to do it ;p Thanks everyone who has decided to click that little button, it really does mean a lot to me :o) I'll be sure to get lots more freebies and FTU tuts up as my way of saying thank you!!!
Which brings me to my bad news..my laptop has gone all wonky and won't keep a charge. I won't be able to get it looked at for at least 2 weeks, and that's where allll my PSP stuff is! Hubby doesn't want me to download anything to the desktop, so that means no new stuff until I get it fixed =/ Unless I start getting cold sweats from PSP withdrawls and take it in sooner, lol. But if I wait, then I can get it looked at for free, and I like that option better!! So you may just see a lot of random updates from me until I get it sorted!!

First, I'd like to say a big thank you to Heidi at Scottish Butterfly Creations for putting this blog train together, and inviting me to join :o) This blog train goes hand in hand with BCA awareness month, but looks more towards the good stuff...The Goodies those get as survivors, and The Goodies you appreciate more as a fighter. The first thing that I thought of with this, was a beautiful garden. So I hope you enjoy my contribution to this blog train, and please make sure to visit all the other spots and pick up their Goodies along the way :) Time zones may be different, so if you don't see anything yet on your travels, be sure to check back!!
TashasPlayGround--you are here

Yaay! I've received the Liebster Blog award from Country Bug and Scrappin Krazy Designs!! Thank you both for this award, and sorry it took me so long to get it post!
The aim of the award is to bring recognition to blogs with minimal followers.
Since I have accepted the award I must pass it on to at least 3 other blogs(but not more than 5), that have inspired me and I feel deserve a bit more attention.
The rules are to say thank you on my blog to the one who passed it on to me with a link to their blog.
Pick the blogs to pass the award on to,leave a note on their blog and then list them with links to their blogs.
The blogs I choose are:
