Announcing the Etsy Give Away winner...

...but first, I'd like to issue a ginormous "thank you" to all those who entered my Etsy Give Away, and then made the extra effort to vote for my blog in The Blog Guidebook's Top Blog of 2010 contest! This is such a busy time of year, and I am fully aware that voting for my blog is (rightfully so) at the bottom of your "to do" list, which makes me even more appreciative of your vote! 


"Just Another Hang Up" survived the last cut and made it to the top five finalists for the Top Blog of 2010. Thanks to you!

The Blog Guidebook issued this statement yesterday:

We're going to mix it up a little this round and have everyone vote through COMMENTS. We know this is a little more time consuming, but we want to see how the numbers compare to the number of votes we've been receiving, just to make sure there aren't any discrepancies."

Round 5 voting starts today
Would you mind leaving a comment at  
this post  
on the Blog Guidebook
Thank you once again!

Alrighty then, let's move on to the Give Away winner!
The winner of this month's
Etsy Give Away
is...


Taren has won a "gift certificate" that will enable her to choose from any item in my Etsy Shop! Soon the item of her choice will be wending its way to her home. Congratulations Taren!

Etsy Give Away!

I'm currently away from my computer. 
My husband has whisked me off to an undisclosed location.

 The question is...
 WHERE AM I?

Here are a few clues:
  • My plane headed west as I left Denver.
  • There are some goofy people around here!
  • Some people call this the "happiest place on earth!"
If you'd like a chance to win a gift from my Etsy, you'll have to do two things. 

First, you have to guess where we are vacationing! Those who guess correctly will have their names put into a bowl and I will draw a winner. 

Second, you'll need to go to my Etsy and choose what you would pick if you won this Give Away! The winner will be given a $20 gift certificate to my Etsy and will be able to pick any Wristlet, Dwipe, or Lil' Girl Cupcake Tote of her choosing. I will ship the item free of charge. It's as simple as that! 

Leave a comment guessing where I am vacationing AND telling me which item you would choose if you won this Give Away! No anonymous comments, please. I need an email address or accessibility to a public blog. Private bloggers --feel free to enter, but you'll need to leave your email address. If I don't have any way to contact you, your name will not be eligible.

This contest will run through midnight on Tuesday, November 2nd. Wednesday morning, November 3rd the winner will be announced.

Good Luck!

Give Away Results...

I put all the names in a basket,
mixed them up,
closed my eyes,
and picked one!

Here's what I came up with...

Pink Swirl Frosting Cupcake Tote is going to a new home.

The lucky winner is...

Tammy from "She Wears Flowers."

I never knew by saying "Now, pick me please!"
that a person would actually win.
I need to remember that strategy -- It's positive thinking at its best!
Congratulations Tammy!


By the way, check out "She Wears Flowers Etsy Shop." Such cute items!

This give away is directed to those who frequent my blog. It's my way of saying "thank you" to those who follow my blog one way or another and leave such kind, encouraging comments.

The person who's name is chosen will win a $20 "gift certificate" to be used in my Etsy Shop. Just go here and peruse the isles for things that are $20 and under. That's almost everything in my shop! I will throw in postage on top of that! Let me know which item you would choose, and if you are the lucky winner that's the item you'll receive!
Remember, look for items $20 and under! (My "adult totes" would be over the price point for this give-away.)

Been baking...

Yesterday I fired up the oven in the morning and didn't turn it off until late last night. I baked all day long and by the end of the day, here's what I had to show for myself...

...a half dozen cupcakes in assorted delicious flavors -- lime, cherry, strawberry, and sherbert! These little cupcake totes look good enough to eat!

With Easter just around the corner, I thought I'd better bake up a couple of batches of my Lil' Girl Cupcake Totes.

Last year they became very popular during Easter time because the Easter bunny used them as Easter baskets for many a little girl!

They make a cute basket! Just put a little "grass" in the bottom and then fill with plastic eggs, jelly beans and a chocolate bunny or two!

Then when the jelly beans & chocolate bunnies are a distant memory, your lil' girl will still have a purse for all her valuables...

It doesn't matter what your age, we women need a special place for a little change and some lip gloss!


These "cupcakes" are on display in my Etsy!

Lil' Girl Cupcake Tote Give-Away Results...

I'm back home again after a week in Washington D.C. We had the time of our lives. There is so much to see. Anyway, I might get back to blogging in a couple of days once I've washed the piles of laundry and caught up on a few other things! Did I mention we have another wedding in the near future? Yes indeedy, the end of August will find my youngest daughter married. Lots to do and plan for around here!

Anyway, on to the winner of the Lil' Girl Cupcake Tote Give-Away contest. Thanks to all those who had the courage to sign up for the give-away after my rule-toting tirade! I just reread my post and I must have taken the "chip on your shoulder" pill that morning. Yikes! Ah well, thanks for forgiving me and signing up anyway!

Hope she's hungry, cause Jan has won the cupcake!

Congratulations, Jan!

Lil' Girl Cupcake Tote Give-Away!

It's time to celebrate little girls! Spring is in the air and summer is around the corner. It's time to make a little girl happy with a tote of her very own to cart around during these blissfully warm months! This week I whipped up a give-away tote for a special little girl in your life.

Good enough to eat! That's how I describe these deliciously adorable Cupcake Totes. "Baked" with TLC, topped off with a generous dollop of frosting, and crowned with a "cherry" this mini-Hang Up is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth! Here's the yummy cupcake I'll be giving away...

Please follow the rules of this contest carefully. If you don't follow the rules, you just might find yourself being chased around your neighborhood by a middle-aged woman with a penchant for smacking rule-breakers with a big ol' ruler. I learned this particular discipline technique from my 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Graham. She was an expert at whacking rule-breakers. She was a more "mature" woman that had the response time of a rattle snake. She'd go up and down the aisles of her classroom with a ruler grasped tightly behind her back, and when something didn't go her way, she'd bring that ruler down lickety split on the offending first grader's desk! One time she got especially ticked off, and she brought the ruler down on a classmate's head. ("Disturbed" is the word that comes to mind.) If she had worked in the school system today, she'd be sporting stripes and taking her meals behind bars. Back then she was praised for having the most obedient class. Anyway, Mrs. Graham gave all her pupils a healthy respect for rules. As a result I became very good at following rules and, because example is the greatest teacher, I became just as good at expecting them to be followed. I'm confident after this little tirade that you are shaking in your boots flip-flops and that you will follow my give-away rules to the letter! tee-hee ;o) Alrighty then -- let's have some fun...

Here are the rules and conditions of the Give-Away...

1.) The participants must live within the continental U.S. or Canada. I will provide the postage.

2.) Each person that makes a comment below will have her name entered into the contest.

3.)
If you put a "shout out" on your blog about the contest, and come back and let me know through another comment, I will enter your name two more times.

4.) All those who enter this contest and have already (before May 28th) commented on my blog in the month of May will have their name added one more time! Thank you for your kind comments!

5.) No anonymous comments, please. If you are not a close friend or relative whose email I already possess, you must leave an email address or blog that I can visit. Private bloggers must leave their email address. If I don't have any way to contact you, your name will not be eligible.

6.) This tote is not meant for resale. Only those intending to use the tote for personal use may register to win.

7.) Lil' girls may enter this contest. In fact, they are encouraged to do so! ;o)

This contest will run through midnight Thursday, June 4th. Friday morning, June 5th, the winner of the contest will be announced.

Feel free to go to my Etsy and check out more yummy items!

Good luck!
