i'm sick … have been all week. i was just having a bummer of a day on tuesday … miserable and not feeling good. even took a nap while the little ones took their naps. so when the UPS dude pulled up about 4:00 … it made the day just a little better.
this is my goodies for winning the golden ticket back in october. all sort of idea books, album kits, and older KOTM's. i've been waiting patiently for these … for the most part anyways. lol! deneen got her golden ticket a few weeks after mine … and has had her goodies since the end of november. so i was kind of bummed that mine was taking so much longer. i have to thank vivian over at CK (and my good friend wendy at CK also) for looking into this and making sure they finally made their way to me.
and you know i'm not trying to just show off my goodies, right? there is something in this for 2 of you. i had pretty much picked out what i wanted … but still had some credit left. so i ordered 2 of my favorite ideas books (that i already have) … and decided i would do a giveaway on my blog. i'm giving away the two books shown above … ali edwards "a designers eye for scrapbooking" and cathy zielske "clean and simple, the sequel".
just leave me a comment … any comment. and i'll pick 2 names friday evening. i'm mailing stuff on saturday morning … so would love to get these out to 2 of you lucky winners at the same time. good luck! edited to add: i usually don't do this, but for this giveaway i'm only going to ship to the US. so sorry to all my international readers. just can't do the extra shipping and forms right now.
comments closed. back in a bit with the winners!

Sorry to hear you’ve been sick, but at least you’ve got some fun stuff to read. I’ve successfully been dodging the bug, but it caught up with me this week. Thankfully, it hasn’t gotten too bad. Just a slight fever, runny nose, and really grumpy!

I bought some THickers the other day and thought of your blog about your trip to Utah where you got them for $1.00 and i was wishing i could get them for a $1.00 LOL they were 30% off so that is pretty good.

Glad the Man in Brown could make you feel better! My only complaint about my UPS man is that he just drops off the package and leaves. Doesn’t even ring the doorbell. I have to rely on the dog to tell me when he’s here. LOL.
Anyway, thanks for the generous blog candy opportunity. I hope I win!
