Tips & Tricks Winner!

Yo yo yo! Happy Monday. We had a pretty uneventful weekend, in which I slept every opportunity that came my way. I had to break my napping schedule to take #3 kid to a Chuck E Cheese party on Saturday morning (have I mentioned how much I dislike that place? Germs!), cook meals, watch the Super Bowl, and take showers. I'm sure you are glad I took showers. Strangers in the grocery store were happy too.

Yes, the winner! Random.org picked #10. Which happens to be Melanie. And yes, we are shipping to Canada. And you can lift my layouts anytime of the week. Twice on Sundays.

Thanks for playing along everyone! I'm sure there will be more giveaways soon. And I might even scrap a page or two for fun this week (and share, of course.) Yes, I said FOR FUN! Miracles do exist.

Winner (and trip update)

Sorry for the lateness in picking a winner of CK's The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker. I've been on the road. Driving from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. We broke the 2000 mile mark today. Phew. My butt is sore! Ha! No jokes about that, please. We have stopped for the day in Arizona. Our goal is to get to LA tomorrow. We will see...

So. Winner! Random.org says:

And that would be JennO. You've finally won something from my blog!

What else is going on... starting tomorrow, I'll be posting more sneak peeks on the Lily Bee blog. Then starting Saturday, I'll be posting from CHA, and there will be giveaways (on the Lily Bee blog also). You can check it all out here.

Meanwhile, a peek from my day.

Barbecue at Rudy's, which is pretty dang good Texas style barbecue. Sorry, Memphis style, Kansas City style, etc style lovers. This is the real thing. Not to worry, the sauce was not forgotten. You just get to sauce it yourself. With heavenly spicy, slightly sour, never sweet sauce.

I'll share some more photos from trip soon. We took a lot of high speed photos. No, not photos using a high ISO. But photos taken while the car was going fast. In case you are wondering, the driver never took any photos. It's been a long, tiring trip. But also very fun. Alrighty. Off to relax a little.

One Winner + One Layout

Good morning and happy weekend! We are all sick here, but luckily, my husband is home and NOT sick. Little miracles do happen. So glad someone is here to take care of us. Alas, sick or not, we have to get out of the house to allow for showings and open house. I foresee lots of mall time during this weekend. I'm sure the kids will love that. (In case you don't know me well, I'm a bit of a sarcastic person.)

Anyway, first, our winner of CK's two special issues.

And that would be

Arjanne, drop me an email using the button on the left sidebar. Congrats! I think you are going to love both issues.

I just got the January CK. So totally exciting. My first issue as part of the Dream Team. I've got this layout in it:

As seen in the January issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. Copyright Creative Crafts Group. Posted with prior permission from the publisher.

I was supposed to create a layout a la Stacy Cohen, and I don't think I accomplished it all too well. Stacy is one of a kind. Her layouts are amazing and intricate. If you don't know Stacy's work, you need to check it out.

Alrighty. I'm off to clean up the house (for the millionth time this month), and go to the mall. How very suburban of me.

Winners. Yo!

Good Morning! Thank you all for your sweet comments. It's interesting how many of us dislike stainless steel appliances! You'd think that manufacturers could come out with stainless steel that repels fingerprints by now. One can dream.. or buy white appliances and save lots of money!

Onto the goody boxes! I used random.org and we have two winners!

First of all, I agree with you wholeheartedly on the stainless steel appliances! What a great idea - pre-kids. ack!
Best of wishes in your home selling, your changes will really help!
Would love a box full of scrap goodies, what fun!!!

Wow! I liked the red color on the walls, too.
Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck on the house selling!

Winners, please email me using the button on the left column within the next week. I would like to send out your boxes before Christmas!

And if you didn't win, don't despair. I'll have more boxes. Meanwhile, I'll have another giveaway tomorrow. Two special Creating Keepsakes issues that I think you'll enjoy. A lot!
