If you are stopping by via the Ultimate Blog Party, let me welcome you to Shake The Salt! I’m so excited you are here. Be sure to sign my Guest Book (i.e.: Mr Linky) below so I’ll know you stopped by (this is not the official UBP Mr Linky) and I’d be especially thrilled if you leave a little comment, too. If you don’t know what the Ultimate Blog Party is, go check it out and join in all the fun. (Pssst… there are prizes, wink wink… plus you’ll get to meet lots of great bloggers!)
I’m Christy! Nice to meet ya!! Hubs and I have been married for 3.5 years (St. Patrick’s Day is our “half-anniversary date!) and have a 2.5 year old son, who I refer to around here as Lil Roo. Our very spoiled 7 yr old Staffordshire Terrier / American Pit Bull Terrier, who we refer to as our daughter 
and our 12 yr old female tabby cat round out our little family.
I’m an Editor-In-Chief with U.S. Family Guide over our local guide.
I’ve been blogging for a year now and this is my second Ultimate Blog Party. I began blogging as Multitasking Mama last spring, then moved to Shake The Salt over the summer.
I love frugal shopping and getting great deals – you can find the Frugal Deals Roundup here each week, a great resource for locating all the great deals of the week! {If you are a frugal blogger, email me to get added to the Frugal Blogroll}.
I love offering product reviews and giveaways, and I’m currently working on my Spring Cleaning & Organizing Series, so be sure to check that out.
I also blog at Simply Sensational Divas Review, and I’m working on getting the following blogs off the ground over the next couple of months: Sweet Posh Baby, Homespun Preschool, Making It A Home, Florida Fun Reviews, and I am creating a website for Forti-Cones Surfing Company.
Also? I need some desperate help with Photoshop Elements, which I purchased to do some basic graphics on the new blogs, yet feel completely stupid with the program open in front of me, not knowing what I should do exactly. I used Paint Shop Pro for a while (before I blogged) and managed it ok, but I’m at a loss with PSE. Anyone wanna take me under their wing & let me be their grasshopper?
I’d love to connect with you! Find me on Twitter & Facebook (when connecting, let me know you found me through the UBP), and be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed so you don’t miss any of the great stuff here at Shake The Salt.
Prizes I have my eye on….
{OK, I’m still checking them out, but I’ll let ya know soon!}
Please sign the “guest book” letting me know you stopped by… this isn’t the official UBP Mr Linky, just an easy way for me to click over to your blog, LOL. I’d be doubly excited if ya left a comment too, heehee.
Thank you for visiting the original Shake The Salt!!

What version of PSE do you own. I have 7.0 and I use it all the time as I run a blog design business. I’d be happy to help you if I can.
Nice to meet you!

I’m still just blog hopping through the Ultimate Blog Party link list. I didn’t want to miss out on any blogs… but I just ran out of party time. So… I’m still working my way down the list… even though the party is technically over.
Stop in on my blog if you’ve got a minute! Or… if you’re still up for a party post… you could stop by my party anytime!

I, as well, possess a pit-bull who will be the most tender animal I have ever owned. Quickly, a new dog breed will appear along for that media to blast, as they have done rotties and dobies in earlier years. Unfortunate that media sensationalism breeds so much inaccurate facts.
