  2. Thank you for the chance. I love your blog. At last count I had 130 polishes. I've been buying so it's probably closer to 200 now. You inspired me to go on a No Buy for the rest of this month & all of next. (After I bought 9 Zoya from the Earth Day Sale) :)

  12. This is an awesome giveaway! Thank you so much! I thought I was already following you here, but it turns out I was following your FB page! Well, I have remedied that mistake. :o) I read your " about me" on Fb and it was truly inspirational and brought tears to my eyes. :o) You said to give you a link to our own blogs and so here is mine: www.thingsiloveatthemoment.blogspot.com.

  14. TY for the great giveaway. I thought I was already following you here, but only was following on FB. You have given me so many wonderful ideas and suggestions. I read your story on FB and it is great to know that there are other fighters out there besides myself. I don't know how bad your back is and if there is anything they can do to fix it, but have you looked into artificial discs? I had one put in my lumbar about 5 years ago and it is the best thing besides for my honey that has ever happened to me. 6 years ago, I should have been in a wheelchair, but I rarely moved to keep me out of one...walked with a cane starting at the age of 30...and am now back to teaching kindergarten. Next year I will be teaching pre-k. Good luck with everything and never give up!

  22. All these colors are awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!!
    As for polishes, I don't own too many, since my obsession is just starting.
    Am I a "do it yourself" lady? I would love to say 100% I do, but all I can say is that I'm trying. I've found a million things on pinterest that I want to do, but only completed about 5. lol

  49. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!!
    I follow you (although quietly) for quite some time now, and I really love your generosity and cool ideas :)
    I'm afraid I am not much of a "do it yourself". I am too lazy... I kinda believe that if someone already thought of it, why do I need to work hard again? Although, I admit that there's nothing as satisfying as do something by myself LOL

    I am relatively new to the blogging world (and ven newer to the pinterest world) and I don't really like to leave my links in comments, but you practically asked for it so..... http://superficiallycolorful.blogspot.com/
