First let me apologize, I didn't take any pics while I was making this bracelet because to be honest I had serious doubts that is was going to work. No worries because it was easy enough to make. Here is what you need.

Anything Goes Linky 34
First can I ask a little favor of you all? Judges put me in the top 10 for the Guac Off Recipe Contest. Now I am competing against 9 other recipes to win an ipad2! There will be three ipad2 winners. A celebrity chef will be picking the most tasty, Avocados from Mexico will be picking the most creative, and the public will determine the 3rd and final most popular winner! Please help me secure the most popular vote. My husband and I both broke our Droid phones this last week, so an iPad2 could really help me and my blogging out. You can vote once daily until the contest ends on 1/31/12. I promise to stop talking your ear off about the contest then too ;)
"hug hug kiss kiss" to all that do (BTW I was saying that in my best Nacho Libre Voice LOL)
Have you entered my P.F. Chang's dinner out and in for two giveaway yet? There will be 15 winners! Please check my giveaway page for all current giveaways going on now.
Don't forget to link up your Valentine themed posts for our Crafting and Cooking From the Heart Contest. See right side bar for photo link.

Win a $5,000 Yard Makeover From "Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done."
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
At "Dig, Drop, Done." you will learn all you need to know about bulbs, how to plant them, care for them, pick out your favorite ones, and even find incredible inspiration for using them. I must admit, I have no green thumb, so I can use all the help I can get. I always thought a bulb was just a seed, but it is so much more, it is actually a "self contained flower factory" as I learned from Marcy over at "Dig, Drop, Done." Another wonderful lady you will find over at "Dig, Drop, Done." is Juliana. She has some great ideas for using bulbs. I love how they have used them in old water jugs (see picture below). They also have some fabulous videos to watch, in one Evelyn had me cracking up, I could really relate to her quirky sense of humor.
How can you not love Evelyn, she is so adorable. She also has great advice on keeping pesky critters out of your yard. Here in Northern Cali, we have a huge problem with deer eating our plants, I am going to have to try some of Evelyn's tips.
These bulbs really are so stunning. You will definitely want to visit www.digdropdone.com to learn more. Bulbs are not just for gardeners or people with green thumbs. They can be really easy to work with. They can be used for decorating both inside and out, and also make a lovely gift.
Now lets talk about what "Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done." is doing at Curbside Chaos. They are giving away a $5,000 yard makeover!!! That's not all, they will be sending celebrity Taniya Nayak to help you makeover your yard! She will show you how to beautifully incorporate bulbs into your yard. The goal is to teach everyone how bulbs can add simple beauty to your surroundings, with little effort on our parts. To enter all you have to do is submit a picture of your yard at Curbside Chaos.

Steps for better growth
- Start with firm, plump allium bulbs, free from cuts, bruises or mold. Plant in Fall (Sept 23-Dec 22), when soil has cooled off.
- Using a spade, dig a hole 3x the width of your bulb and place the bulb pointed end up.
- Cover and lightly pack soil, then water thoroughly- and you’re done!
Tips: In areas with mild winters, plant later and chill your bulbs up to 8 weeks prior to planting. Plant in a sunny or partially shaded area. Space your bulbs 4-12 inches apart depending on the plant size
