"100th Sale" Giveaway!

Yes, that's right, I'm approaching my 100th sale on Etsy! Yay, but it has taken a little longer than I'd have liked! Still I'm happy none-the-less. So I'm having a giveaway... Just be the buyer of my 100th sale and you can pick out up to $11 of stuff from my shop. So if you buy one little thing (any price), and you're the 100th sale, you get something free! I'm at 98 sales right now. So if you are #99 and #100, you get the free item, or items. Just be sure to mention in the note to seller what you'd like for free. Get a few magnets, or a print, or whatever, as long as it is $11 or under. And you'll only pay for the shipping of the original item you buy. And if you forget to mention what you want in the note, I'll be contacting you and asking what you want free!

I'm just happy to finally reach 100, and I want to get there ASAP, and give a little something in return.

And The Winner Is...

We got up this morning, and were excited for my First Blog Giveaway! Wesley got his disguise on, and I put all the names into a bowl.


And the winner is... cpullum! Congrats to her (well I'm just actually guessing that she's a girl!)... Although I did have at least one guy come and leave a comment. It was great to hear from my eBay ACEO Group and myspace friend, Josh! It was interesting to see that people actually did respond to my bulletin that I posted about the giveaway on Myspace. Although I would've hoped for more myspace people than did come!

So as soon as I return, (and hopefully have received a return email from cpullum) I'll be sending little Miss Mousey off to her new home!

And I had such a very fun time with this, I'm sure I'll be doing more in the future! So please check back when you can!

Blog Giveaway!! Summer's a Comin!!

Summer is such an extraordinary time! So to share my happiness for it, I'm having a little giveaway! This little Miss Mousey is the friendly prize. She would love to find a new home with you!

If you'd like to have her join your family all you need do is leave a little comment of any kind here on this post. You have until the end of this Saturday night,(June 14) which is 12 midnight Pacific time. If you don't have a blog, then you should leave your email address so that I can contact you....or at least be sure to check back soon. Then sometime Sunday morning, I'll draw a name from the list of comments. I won't be able to send out the gift until later in the week though. I've already got a few days of fun planned for our Summer Break and won't be attending to mailings until Thursday or Friday.

Summer always brings memories of such a certain happiness, especially the last day of school. I almost forgot that feeling in my adult life, until my own son started school. Now I'm reliving it, because I'm just as ecstatic for summer as I always was as a kid. I'm just so ready to be in charge of my own schedule.

Are you as happy for Summer as me? Leave a comment for Miss Mousey here!

Roses and Updates

It's been a very ordinary end-of-the-school year for me... that means incredibly busy days, and not much home time... which also makes me a bit cranky! I see it's been over a week since I last posted so I had to at least share some stunning roses!


This is a Zephirine Drouhin rose. I've had this rose bush for 15 years. It moved with me once, and it always blooms on the anniversary date of my step dad's passing. It's an old fashioned rose with a lovely scent. And an interesting trait is that it has no thorns!

My garden is being infested by moles or gophers. I use to have cats that would keep these rodents under control. But I guess the cats I've got now are too lazy or slow for these guys. I worry about this rose. So now I'm going to try planting some gopher purge around it, and hope that works.


Yesterday (June 7) was Drawing Day '08. I did do some drawing today, but I've got to finish it. I hope to post a finished, late drawing for the world wide event.

Oh and look for info on my first blog giveaway soon (monday or tuesday). This will be in honor of the first day of summer vacation, and how happy that makes me!

I've got a lot of promises to live up to, and I will do it!
