Wait...what??? [a.k.a.my 1st giveaway!]

****This giveaway is now closed.  Check back soon for another fabulous giveaway!****

100+ followers in just over a week???  Are you kidding me?

If this isn't a record don't tell me because that's what I've been telling all my friends and family.  Let me recreate the scene for you...

Me: Guess how many followers I have now?!?

Friends/family: Um, like, 40?  

Me: No,  over ONE HUNDRED!!!  I'm pretty sure it's some kind of record.

F/f:  Probably not.

Me: ::doing the mom face::  Sshhhh.  Just let me have this.



Aaaaand scene.

So, due to my extreme delight and elation I've talked my husband into sponsoring a giveaway for me to celebrate!  And, after some threats coercing, he lovingly obliged.


Who doesn't love Target, right? I have a personal goal of one day getting out of there under $100.  I'll let you know when that happens.

I'm sure you know how these things work by now!  To enter:


  1. Become a public follower (and I, in return, vow to not make you regret it)
  2. Leave a comment.  It doesn't even have to be a nice one although I'm starting to think crafty blogland is incapable of being anything but nice & supportive.
  3. I'll announce the winner on Friday!!
Thank you so much to all my current followers & future ones.  Much like Edward (the movie one) said to Bella... you're like my own personal brand of heroin.

Ha!  I kid.  I kid.  Kind of.

StandsMom said...

Wait! How many times have I seen you/texted with you and there was NO mention of 100 followers....I do fit in the friends and family category, right? You are AWESOME!!! And I'm SO not surprised. Only the beginning my dear. So if I win, will people think this is rigged? Or do you have one of those fancy-schmancy prize-picker-generator-thingys?

StandsMom said...

Oh...and I have three project ideas. One is half-formulated, for the boy's bedroom, and the other two are entirely up in the air - the loft and my powder room. The powder room is a new vicim. I've decided it's a little too, um, old? Needs fresh. Fresh, fresh, fresh. Are you up for hire?
