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.

Second entry, blog, tweet or facebook this give-away and then leave me a comment about your entry with your link. (Shoot, I'm soo in a giving mood, you don't even have a be a follower to enter.)

I will use the random picker to choose the winner and you have til Sunday, the 29th at six p.m. my time (Hawaii time) to see who the winner is. Aight, let the game begin!!

A Super Duper Give-away

No, it's mine silly....I just want to increase my chances of winning the give-away so I thought I'd share that with you today so we can both benefit. I increase my chances of winning by getting more entries and let you know at the same time so you can go enter it too. See how very generous I am?

Enough beating around the bush you say? Aw come on, I want to build up your anticipation, sheeesh..lol.

So, do you want to get a chance to win something awesome and wonderful? Mormon Mommy Blogs is having a super duper for the month of June. No, it's not just one prize, there's a list of fabulous things to win. If you do want to win something, check it out. But you have to hurry though...the give-away ends this Thursday.

Aight, my work here is done...Good luck on the give-away entry. And have a great Monday.

Another Give-Away

No, it's not my give-away silly. I am not that creative yet to do my own give-away although I am planning on doing one soon so be on the look-out.

One of the bloggers who follow my blog is doing a give-away on her blog. Amazingly this blogger is a Novelist. She's giving away her latest romance novel on her blog.

Many of my friends know that I am a big time lover of romance novel and that I love reading. So when I find out my blog friend Heidi over at Dunhaven Place is giving away her latest book, I just had to have it. I know there will be more people blogging about this book and how deserving they are of this book and yeah I do agree with them but I really really want to get my hands on this book.

But hey, I'm generous so I'm going to give you a chance to win this book also...wanna know how? LOL. Just click on over there and comment on her comment box for a chance to win it. I know a lot of you who visit my blog don't blog and are just curious lurkers so in the event that you are like me who likes to read novels, go over to her site right now and enter her give-away. Be sure to mention that I told you about her give-away.

If reading is not your thing, then check out the Mormon Mommy Blogs. Yes this blog is also doing a give-away. Remember from this post, I posted about my other bloggy friend's give-away? Remember how I said that we Mormons are big on Food Storage? Well, the Mormon Mommy Blogs is doing a give-away also on food storage. The items are actually from the same company that my bloggy friend LoW is doing her give-away.

See, I now have given you two chances from two different blogs to win yourself some food. Let's face it, we all love food, right? I don't mind winning me some food too. Anyways, for detailed information about the food give-away, click here to find out to give yourself a chance to win some food.

AGAIN......what ya waiting for? Click over here to win yourself a sizzling romance novel and over here to win yourself some food. You don't even have to scroll to look for the give-away....I am so sweet, I've made it completely easier for you. So go on, GO win yourself some prize.

Aight, I think my work is done here...now I need to get off and take my kids to the beach. It's their last day of their Spring Break so we need to go catch some waves or rays, whichever one strikes their fancy today. Later gators!!

LoW's Awesome Give-Away

So LoW is having an awesome give-away on her blog. So far I think this is the first time that a blogger is doing a food storage give-away. We, Mormons are big on Food Storage and let's face it, now with the economy going where it is going these days, I'm sure Food Storage might come in real handy. I'm not saying that I've got years worth of Food Storage like most of the LDS families but I do believe in it. I'm just starting out so when I see LoW's give-away about it, instantly I entered myself. To win the stuff she has on her give-away would be a great addition to my fairly new stash I am just now building, so to speak.

To know more about it, you can just click on her name up there or click on her button on my sidebar and it'll take you right to her blog. I'm pretty sure you would like what she has on her give-away so don't pass this chance up. If you don't blog but would like to enter her give-away, all you have to do is check her blog out, comment on her give-away post and email her link and give-away to your friends.

So, what ya waiting for? Click here to enter her give-away. See, I've even made it easier for you. I've linked you right to her specific give-away post so you don't have to search for it when you get to her blog, I'm thoughtful that way, so if I were you, I'd click myself on over there.

Aight, I've done all I can for you..LOL.

On the homefront....this is the second week of Spring break for my kids. I'm still alive, my hair is still on top of my head, haven't lost it yet and the kids are still alive and kicking, I haven't buried them, YET, ahah. On a yipee note, hubby comes home tonight from his trip. Kids are really excited to see him home, I think they are more excited to see if he brings them a surprise. Me, I know he's bringing me something I told him to pick up while in Tuscon so I can't wait to see him....now how self-centered am I, you ask.

Sorry but a girl has to think of herself once in a while, no? LOL. Ok enough nonsense. I've been trying to post some pictures of my daughter's prom on here but some reason the computer is not uploading the pictures from my phone...I wanted to do some before-and-after pix of her hair do but doesn't look like I will be able to do that. So I will try again some more and if it still doesn't work, then I'll just post the ones she took from her friend's camera. {Oh yeah, that is one of the things I'm happy to see my hubby home for, he's the computer nerd so hopefully since he missed me so much (LOL) he wouldn't mind fixing this problem for me.}

Alright, enjoy your Monday and don't forget to check out the give-away on LoW's blog.
