I can't believe it is the final week of the Review Extravaganza! I have truly enjoyed it and have loved meeting new bloggers. I just want to take this chance to thank my co-hosts who went along with my crazy idea. These ladies are some of my favorite bloggers. They are (CA Girl, Emilisq, Impulsive Addict, Janette of Johanson Journey, Mimi Living in France and Runner Mom). And remember, you can receive a bonus point if you follow all of our blogs and when you do so go the the rules post here and leave a comment letting me know you are doing so.

So grab the button, link up and definitely take the time to read some other linkers, it is a great way to meet new bloggers. In our final review, we are reviewing October, November and December
