Come In! The Waters Fine! *GIVEAWAY*

I'm starting a pool.

Not the kind I helped dig in my best friends yard when I was 8 and her dad found us all muddy enjoying the summer in it. He almost killed us and then made us fill it back in... It was Vonda's fault. Not Valerie or myself.

Yes... my best friends name was Valerie too. We liked to confuse people... Vonda was her older sister and SHOULD have been responsible. But I believe it was her idea.

Ok ok, the watery thing I'm starting is a pool on when my grandson will be born. Here are a few facts. Tiffany's real due date is February 22nd. She had some major false labor 9 days ago. Also if you've given birth, then you may know what I'm talking about when I say a major event happened on Wednesday, 2 days ago.

That means any day now. Birth is eminent. However things have calmed down... She's definitely in the mood to have this baby though and is trying everything in the book to go into labor early because she is miserable.

So you've got between now and when the baby is born to place your bets. Oh and you need to be a follower of me! The winner will receive this little girl's fleece cap that I made one too many of. I can't give my grandson because babies don't ship well and I just won't hear of it.

It's not this exact hat. The hat is in different colors. Still girlie and with flowers, but different.
So be a follower of me and put a comment below on when (date and time) you think Leon will be born. The closest to the actual birth time will win the hat!

Good luck and Happy Guesstating!

Does A Body Good

A package came from Fedex yesterday! I don't know where I was... Probably on a break and running some folded laundry upstairs... But I noticed a tag on my door and box on the porch.

THIS came for me!

I won it from the sweet and gracious A.Marie from My Money Mission Online! She is awesome and you need to check out both of her blogs. Blog 1 Blog 2

Anyway... In the Yoplait Swap package I got...
A 2012 planner calendar, an insulated bag, a glasses case (I think) with pen, a coupon for a free cup of yogurt and a tall cylinder that I'm not quite sure what it's for... I guess I could put ice water in it and take it along with me. Any ideas?

THANK YOU to A.Marie!!! You are Awesome!!

Drumroll Please!!!!

And the winner of the homemade set of pillow cases is....

2) My blogiversary is tomorrow!!! 1 year of spilling my guts to people who started out as total strangers and ended up being an important part of my virtual life.


So I'm having a giveaway. Here's what I'm doing. Remember those pillowcases that I made for Christmas presents? Well, it's not them.

I'm out of Christmas fabric and who wants to think about Christmas and cold weather anyway??! I want to think green, growth and SPRING! Enough of this cold white stuff! Bring on the dirt!

I am giving away a set of pillowcases influenced by SPRINGTIME! I don't have any pictures because well... I don't have the fabric yet. That will come this weekend when I can make it out of the house.
