I admit it: I totally checked out f romblogging for the last month or so. I realized finally that I had started to prepare my 20 in 20 giveaway posts before July first and then when July came (and went) I forgot all about them. I never added pictures or detailed information or winners or anything. Then I was so embarrassed of my huge fail that I was too afraid to post for weeks. Now I have realizes how much I miss it and have to come back seeking your forgiveness.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!

Let’s see if I can get my act together before August is gone too…Stay tuned
