Awesomeness Giveaway


Hello all! Welcome to my first destashing giveaway! I know, everyone is doing some kind of Giveaway, right? My reason is twofold......to have someone enjoy some awesomeness and to follow in Kitty Durmaj's footsteps. You see, I won this box full of beads and awesomeness and decided to reuse the box and fill it up myself with goodies for some lucky someone!

Here is how to win! Leave a comment here on my blog......BUT here is the stipulation.....you must keep the box going! Take all that is inside, reuse the box to fill with whatever YOU want to destash with! It does NOT have to be beads....it could be scrapbooking supplies, photo supplies, mixed media goodies, etc.....

If you leave a comment here it is YOUR word that you will do this please! Also, if you follow my blog, Twitter, Facebook, blog about the giveaway on your own blog then come back and leave a separate comment with links if applicable and receive extra entries!!!

NOW! What is in the box???? Let me simplify.....BEADS! Art beads from some of your FAVORITE designers.....example: Tin Snippets from Lorelei Eurto, Leaf Pendant from Miss Fickle Media, handmade beaded toggle from me, TONS of handmade pendants from me (Easter Bunny, candy sprinkles, vintage button, birds nest with pearl eggs, ceramic bird pendant, etc......). Also, gemstone beads, a bag of misc. beads.....oh my gosh, too much to list here!

This giveaway is open to ANYONE by the way! International readers also!!! If I forgot anything I will come back and add it as an update, but I think that is all for now! If you have any questions....PLEASE feel free to ask! Thanks for checking it out and enjoy!

UPDATE: The winner will be picked Friday April 29, 2011!

Unemployed

I’m into my first day of unemployment, I have yet to get over the initial shock and anger. But, I am determined to embrace the awesomeness that is not having to go to work every day. Here’s a list of things I’m going to try and enjoy: 1.Sleeping in – Needs no further explanation. 2.Pajamas – Again, no explanation needed 3.A clean house – Now that I will be home more, I have plenty of time to clean the house. 4.Eating at home – We love going out to eat, but it’s nice to know that we don’t NEED to. 5.Hanging with the family in the evening (not been done in 11 months) – I love my family. 6.TV – Mostly music/video stations 7.No commute – I don’t have to fight small town traffic that used to be a regular part of my day. 8. Being home for Madelyn - FINALLY! :) 9. Making more Jewelry - Again, no explanation needed! I know that there are so many more things I will be enjoying, but these are the biggies. I know that after a month or two, I’ll be climbing the walls. But for now, I’m going to enjoy being a slacker. post signature

Three "Nanny" Goats Gruff

Hello all! Tonight is the BIG night! Opening night for my baby girl (who will be turning 6 next week....we won't talk about that)! She was picked to play Fanny Goat in her kindergarten musical/play Three Nanny Goats Gruff! She has a solo song and lines and everything!!!!!! I am a SUPER proud momma and can NOT wait to see it tonight. I will go to work and then head on over to see it and then head back to work! I am bringing my Flip Video camera so I will come back and bore you all to death with some clips! Wish her a "break a leg" please! Have a great day! Enjoy!!!! :)
