We are experiencing Technical Difficulties
Of course, the last day before vacation begins and things start breaking lol. Thanks Sandy for letting me know that things seem to not be working correctly today on Delightful Chaos! Looks like only the front page is loading for some reason. Thanks for your patience while I get this fixed!
Dear Dell, A Moment of silence please…
Good morning friends…. I would like to ask that you take a moment to please bow your head for my prized possession. My Dell Inspiron 1720 *sniff*. (I do love this laptop though, NEVER had a problem with it before!) Yesterday morning I turned it on and did my morning routine as I always do. I was drawn away from it by my 2 year old and my battery died. No big deal right? When I turned it back on it was going completely mad. It will not boot up now. I just keep getting the blue screen of death telling me that it is dumping physical memory to disk. Finally it worked for about 30 mins. I sent a few emails, talked to a friend and then it just rebooted. Royal looked up the problem online and we have the impression that the memory is fried but not so sure that is it. Hopefully it is nothing to serious because a new laptop is not in my budget right now. Darn that Christmas holiday and kids! lol But if any PC manufacturer is reading this I would be glad to review a new laptop for you! 
I am not sure how many posts that I will be able to get up while I get this issue resolved. I am using Royal’s laptop but there are a few issues with that for me. #1 being that it is one of those 10″ minis and going from a 17″ you can imagine how annoying this thing is to use! #2 being that of course it has non of my information on it, email, programs etc.. I will try to get at least one thing put up a day but I am going to fall seriously behind 
but will do my best with what I have available.
If you have a great deal or something that can easily be posted please feel free to email it to me to share with everyone else. I could use the extra help right now 
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
New Giveaway Rules for Delightful Chaos!
First let me say that I give credit for this information and idea to Lori over at A Cowboys Wife. I changed some but copied some because I swear she worded it so great I wouldn’t even know where to begin rewording! (Okay, I may have changed some typo’s 
) I agree with her completely and these are now the new rules for my giveaways!
I don’t like putting “giveaway” in the title of my posts so I won’t be doing it anymore. To be honest, it kinda hurts to get so many comments giveaway posts and NOT on a regular post. So I feel like this, if you are taking the time to read my post, then you will have a better chance of reaping the rewards because any and all future giveaways will ONLY be mentioned at the bottom of the post. This is to show some love to my loyal readers. So if you don’t read, you won’t ever know about them.
Entering the giveaways.
Most of my giveaways require one entry and I give tons of bonus entries. Each additional entry is always optional and EACH ONE MUST BE LEFT IN A SEPARATE comment to count. If you don’t follow the giveaway rules I will just delete your comment.
Drawing of winners.
I have several ways that I draw winners depending on my mood that night. Sometimes I ask my Twitter followers to give me a number between 1 and however many comments are on the giveaway. I take the first one who responds. I never tell them any information so there is way of them knowing what the number is for. I also use the Random Number Generator or ask my 7 year old for a number.
Announcement of winners.
I don’t like to devote posts to winners nor do I like to mention it in my posts. It has to do with keeping my blog all niche related…just don’t want that extra clutter;) SO, from now on, if you are a winner, I will email you, contact you via your blog or twitter to let you know that you have won a prize. You will be given 48 hours from the email/tweet to contact me and claim your prize. If you do not contact me within those 48 hours, then you forfeit winnings and a new prize winner will be chosen. I have chosen plenty of second winners in the past! This is for 2 reasons. One–I can’t keep up with a million giveaways, winners, etc for weeks on end. Two–the prize sponsors don’t like waiting, flat and simple. So, add tonilynn at delightfulchaos dot com to your address book because this is where the email will come from! If it goes to your spam box that is not my problem. SORRY!
Giveaway sponsors are responsible for shipping prizes that are offered on Delightful Chaos. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery of any prizes won. If you do not receive your item AFTER that time, please email me and I will follow up with them.
Where are my emails????
I have been getting a lot of emails asking why people are no longer getting my blog updates. I put up a post and sent out an email and am sorry if you missed it A few weeks ago I moved the blog to it’s new home, DelightfulChaos.com, so if you want to continue getting updates via email, you need to enter your email address —->here<—-. It will send you an activation email. You MUST click the link to verify your email address or you will not get the updates. If you need any help just let me know! Thanks for all who followed in the move!
