Friday Night Round-Up : Honeymoon Deals, Handpainted Shoes, a Unique Wedding Gift Set + Top Pins

This has been a great week for Brenda's Wedding Blog - traffic is increasing yet again and each day I'm inching closer and closer to 13,000 twitter followers. Plus, I found out I'm listed in the top 20 out of 100 for the "best people known for weddings on Wefollow". Now, it's time to wrap up the week with another round-up and the latest top pins that everyone is sharing. Hope you have a terrific St. Patrick's Day weekend planned, see you back here on Monday morning.
