As always, this great meme is hosted my Kristi at The Story Siren. This is more of my catch up week. I think I've gotten all of these throughout late October/November. With that in mind, here's what I got:

(Sorry for the crappy lighting. It looked much better on my camera's tiny screen.)

In other news, I am looking for simple instructions on how to add another sidebar to my blog. If anyone can help me than I'd REALLY appreciate it. To make it worth your while, I'll give the person whose instructions I use 3 extra points in their choice of contest that I'm currently holding. If you think you can help, than I'd prefer you email it to me at shutupjessicasreading @ gmail.com. Thanks!

  2. to add a second sidebar, I think it's best you pick a new template with two sidebars, that way you do not need to edit your current template - that is the easiest way. Unless you know how to use html/css, there is no simple ways to do this.

    here's a few places with great blogger templates:

    Here is a link to a tutorial to add a second sidebar if you are willing to make the changes yourself:
