Weekly Showcase

Since I’m begging bribing asking you nicely for your help and votes and support, I’m going to continue to pay it back by pointing you in the direction of some OTHER cool stuff going on right now.  Because it’s not all about me.  A lot, but not totally.

Let me know if you’re doing something awesome, and I’ll round it up in a weekly showcase post like this for the duration of the Good Mood Blogger contest.  I’ll try to limit the lists to a few at a time, but I know there are lots of you out there doing great and inspiring things.

Here are the giveaways, contests, and just My-Friends-Do-Cool-Stuff awesomeness I found this week:
