Holy Kitchen Aid Give Away

Tiffany is giving away a kitchen aid on her blog! And all you have to do to get this lovely thing in your kitchen is leave her a comment! I really, really, really want one of these. When Jeff and I got married we were very fortunate to have a few gift cards to spend at various stores. "I want a kitchen aid." I said to Jeff. He looked at me as though I'd asked for the moon. "And what would you do with it? You'll never use it." So he bought me a Kitchen Aid hand mixer instead. I guess it kind of does the same thing.The squirrels like to lick off the batter after I'm done using it.

Sometimes I'm tempted to turn it on when they do (who am I kidding-I'm tempted EVERY time).I'm sure someday I'll get one. But there's no reason why y'all couldn't enter for a chance to win over at Tiffany's blog and then give it to me for Christmas, right :)

Give Away For Kids!

My sister is having yet another give away! This time it's an email account system thing just for kids. Most children by the age of 12 have to have an email now for school-and who knows what kind of spam they're going to get or what virus-filled attachments they might accidentally open! Tiffany is giving away a paid-subscription to an email site that is designed specifically for kids. Some of the features are pretty awesome. As the parent, you get a copy of all emails sent to your children, you can also preview all emails, set it to where they only receive mail from certain people or can only send mail to certain people. You get to be in complete control of what goes in and comes out of the email account. Got older kids and don't think they'll go for it? Just don't tell them you can monitor it so closely! :) Don't have kids? Enter and give it to your nieces or nephews! Their parents will love you forever.

Anyway, click HERE to enter!

And the winners are.....

Y'all were all so nice!!! I love all the sweet little comments I got left and it totally made my whole week. Yadda yadda, you just want to know who won.

OK.

So to answer Angela's question, I decided to do a random number generator... and ... the winners are....

Or in other words, Ashley "So pretty! I love all of them" and Sarkastic, "I love the last set, well I love them all really." So I will contact them and let them know! I wish I could've given some to everyone cause y'all made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Anyway, if you are feeling left out go check out my sister's giveaway!!! It's super cute but it ends VERY soon.

Um, and PS... Mrs. Jones, I love you!!! That was the sweetest post EVER.

Cute Earring Give Away!

I cleaned out my jewelry box last night and found a pile of cute earrings that I made (Yes, I did. Aren't I crafty!?) a while back but never wore or did anything with. So, I am going to give away a couple pairs to two lucky winners. I'll even be nice and let the winners pick which pairs they want.

All you have to do is leave me a comment!

Maybe you'll win this pair!!!! Or this dainty set!

Or how about these?

Give Away ends August 5 at 10pm, so just in case you thought you'd wait to leave me a comment don't wait too long! You know you want these cute earrings.

Monster Give Away-no, reallly, it's a monster

The Happy Family

My sister is hosting yet another give away! This time it's an original piece of art valued at $150. And who doesn't want an original piece of art hanging in their home? Exactly. Monster Shmonster. Have a boy and hang it in his room. Have all girls? Hang it in their room. Or hang it above your bed. So go and leave her a comment (that's all you gotta do) by clicking here!

SWIM SUIT GIVE AWAY!

Just in time for Spring. Janna (the meanest Mom EVER) is giving away a swim suit on her blog. I should tell you to stroll over there and leave a comment, but then that would lower my chances of winning the swim suit. So go ahead and read her post but don't comment cause I wanna win. And uh heck yes for those cute-no-muffin-top bottoms! I LOVE THEM!

(and the song for this blog is still Pool Party)

Free Portrait

Free portrait anyone? I'm out of practice and I need to get back in! So if you are interested-leave a comment HERE!

My 100th Post!

WOW! Hooray for 100 posts! And it's only taken a year and a half to do it! That's an average of .18 posts a day! Unless you leave out Jeff's few posts... and maybe they're counting a couple of the drafts that Jeff said should not be shared with the public... then I'm not really at 100 and I'm just lying. But anyway, it said I was at 99 so I'm just assuming (and we all know what happens when you do that.. ) this is the 100th. But whatever, I don't care. I was thinking of doing some sort of give away-but no one reads my blog so it would probably just be me giving something to my Mom.... So I will tell you instead to go to my sisters blog and enter her give away (in honor of her 20th posting) for a FREE SILVER NECKLACE! Totally worth it-all you have to do is comment. Fabulous! (Imagine if she's giving away a necklace worth $40 for her 2oth post, that means each of her posts is valued at $.50, so her 1ooth post give away would be worth $200! Keep reading, just in case it happens).

So congrats to me and my 100th post, in which I am going to list 100 random things about me! Hooray!

1. I have a bag of live squirrels hanging in my bathroom. 2. I'd rather have steak than ice cream 3. I'd rather have ice cream than dog food 4. Given the choice between a beach or a mountain, I'd pick the mountain 5. My arms are covered in well over 100 tiny scars from the bathroom squirrels 6. I have a pretty good memory-my earliest memory is from when I was just barely 2 years old 7. This is getting old... 8. So I think I will just take 100/8 which is 12.5 and come up with that many things 9. I never... I mean never skip breakfast 10. I am considering the FBI as a future job. But only if it's like it is in the TV shows. 11. I love to take pictures. I have a TUB of photos from the time I was 10-18 (potential blackmail, people! I probably DO have that embarrassing photo of you!) 12. Jeff and I average spending 10 (sometimes more) waking hours or more with each other a day-for the last 10 months! And I love it, good practice for retirement. 12.5 I am giving away free money-but you have to find it. I hid it in

Welp folks, that's 12.5! On a side note-maybe I will say that going to the Reba concert tonight is in celebration of my 98th post and Jeff's 2nd. He hates her, so he gets to stay home. And I love her-so I get to go!

Have you ever noticed...

Have you ever noticed these little signs on public bathroom locks? They crack me up every time I see one. I've asked a couple other people if they've ever noticed that it's a "Hiny Hider" hiding their hiny and so far I'm alone in this little joke of mine. I know I can't be the only observant toilet sitter out there, one of y'all have got to have noticed this before. And just cause I like mailing things, I've decided I'm giving out a silly prize for whoever finds one of these, takes a photo of the lock, blogs it and then lets me know they did it. ... no cheating! I'm betting Tonia will be the winner here, maybe Amber and maybe Whitney. But hey, you never know!!! Just remember to take a camera in the .. bathroom... with you... cause no one will think thats weird... ... and if you're interested in your own, personal Hiny Hider.. click here
