Blogoversary and First Give-Away

Ok, I just realized that yesterday was my Blogoversary and I was too busy running around trying to meet family obligations that I never got the chance to throw myself a virtual party here yesterday. So I decided today, I'm going to do just that. Not that there is anything to really celebrate since I hardly ever post much on here but hey, just the thought that I actually started a blog and kept it for a year, that in itself is something, no? So for that, I'm going to celebrate like every blogger does, I'm going to give something away to one of you wonderful people out there who either reads this blog or stumbles upon from time to time...my first EVER Give-Away...how exciting is that!!

So, here's what I'm giving away today...the items I have are basically what sums ME up (or who I am). Here we go:

Let me break this down so you'll can see what you're getting

These first items would be the perfect description of who I am first and foremost...I am an islander so therefore I'd like to share a little of the island girl with you and of course since I live on an island, what better way to share than to send you a little island scent your way.

Enclosed here are two bottles of Body Lotion, Bath & Body Gel, a packet of Bath Crystals and Perfume, all in Passion Pineapple scent. Wouldn't you just love to make yourself smell like something totally delicious and edible? LOL And of course, here's a box of Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts..every woman's addiction (chocolate), per say. If someone from the mainland win this stuff, she can put this on or while taking some hot bath with this aroma whipping around her, she can imagine staying on a tropical island where it's warm while enjoying the melt of the chocolate in her mouth...hmmmm, yum!


This next one is a box of hand-made(made by yours truly, of course) Christmas card, a set of twelve. I made the box so when the user finished with the cards, she can still find some other use for the box.

The image and sentiments on the front of the card is in gold, in other words, I embossed them in gold so it gives it the perfect shine to go with the season. Inside of the card is left blank except for a "Merry Christmas" saying so the owner of the cards can personalize them and it's FREE so therefore she doesn't need to buy any...unless of course she has more than a dozen people to send Christmas cards to in which case she then has to buy the rest.

This is what I do as a hobby and I guess you can say this is a passion of mine or the little talent I can actually say I have and I truly like sharing this part of me with you.

This is what the card looks like out of the box...you can click on it to see the details.


Here it is again with its envelope...even the envelope is designed to coordinate with the card. Say that you want this and it's yours, seriously.



Now this last one is something I picked up from blogging. I did a post about this one, you can see it here. My little Katie is the reason I venture out to try something like this and of course since she's soooo into Princess, I have to use the Disney Princesses as the theme for these two items.

These are the reversible tote bag and the crayon roll. Hubby was sooo happy that I was actually using the sewing machine he bought me two Christmases ago, he was actually happy to shell out the money to buy any materials I want..how sweet...LOL.

Anyways, this part of the give-away you can say is the little mommy in me, the side who wants to create things her hands for her little ones especially if the little recipient is very excited to get the items her mom made even if it's sometimes not the best, know what I mean.

Here they are again...

That's what the other side of the bag looks like and this is what the crayon roll looks like rolled out.

I figure everyone has a little princess out there, either a daughter, granddaughter, niece, little sister or even a god-daughter who they would move mountains to make happy. This will be just the perfect gift for this season, don't you think?

So there you have it folks, my little something that I want to give away as a way to celebrate my Blogoversary.

And look, everything fits perfectly into the bag...how clever is that!Alright, I've dragged this on long enough...all this goes to ONE LUCKY WINNER. You only have to do two things....first entry, leave a comment and tell me how clever you think these handmade creations are excluding the scenty items.
