Love comes first! Love Actually is a site devoted to Creative Ideas for Romance on a Budget. Yep, you read that correctly: 'on a budget'! How fabulous is that?! I don't think I'm off the mark, but sometimes romance is tough to come by for all of us. We think that it involves some big display or a night out that costs a small fortune, both of which seem to take a lot of effort up front. But Love Actually tells us it ain't so! Her romance ideas are broken into various categories including: Date Night, Lovey-Dovey Gifts, Day To Day Romance, Couples Group Dates, and more. So head on over there to spice up your life!

Speaking of love, I think you will easily fall in love with a site run by one of our fabulous readers!  Melissa's Meanderings features books (a lot of them!), as well other great stuff.  I'm loving her Thankful Thursday series.  She is thought provoking and deserves a bit of your time.  Head on over to Melissa's Meanderings with a cup of tea and enjoy!


And to keep the love going, we have a GIVEAWAY!  Rachel at Rae of Light Photography is sponsoring a giveaway for our readers.  :)  Here is what she has to say about herself:

"My work pays homage to subjects and life left unseen or forgotten. They demonstrate the passage of time and the beauty of unaltered minimalism. What started as a way to slow down and take pleasure in nature, swiftly turned into a perpetual zeal to capture the unobserved spirit of daily life.

While examining these pieces my aspiration is that individuals take a moment to look at the details and observe the charm and enchantment our world has to offer.

My images are a blend of archival digital photography and film. I have been pursuing the creation art through film for three years and am self-taught."


On to the giveaway! One lucky winner will choose the 4x6 print of her choice. 

You have 2 chances to win. The first thing you need to do is head over to Rae of Light Photography and browse through all of the amazing art. Then decide what piece you would choose, should you win our giveaway.  Then:
  1. Leave a comment here on the site telling us what piece you would choose.
  2. Head over to our Facebook Page and tell us what piece you would choose.
Happy browsing!  I'm headed over there now!

  2. I choose Travelling by GMC Truck because it makes me think of my dad. He is into restoring antique cars and the field in the background reminds me of home.
