turbo brushers

jeremy scored a free sonicare toothbrush
from school. well, all the students did. they each
received some code to order one online last week.
it came today and surprise, he got TWO!

we called the place to see if they were going to let us
keep it or if they wanted us to send it back. this was the
guy's first response, "Maybe you should try your luck
at the lottery."

and he let us keep it. crazy!
they are almost $200.

we are pretty lucky!

and the winner is...

picked out of a hat by jeremy

email me (kjclover09[at]aol.com) your address SARAH and
i will send the earrings your way.

thanks for entering guys!

let's give these away!

some LACE EARRINGS!

yay! i am giving away the lace earrings pictured below.

cute, right?! (i made two pairs exactly the same... so i want to share)

you know how these go. just leave a comment for an entry and let's say
that you get an additional entry for being a follower- so leave another comment
if you are or become a follower. the giveaway ends wednesday, september 15th at midnight. the winner will be announced thursday.

good luck!


and if you don't win, you can make some of your own:

i saw this tutorial and had to try it out- but instead of using pliers to open the ball on the earring, i just slid the lace piece on from the other end, oh and i skipped the bows. it was so cheap, fast, and easy. can it get any better than that? the lace trims cost about $2 and the earrings hooks cost $4 for 4 pairs. i made four pairs in seriously ten minutes.

i love them!

my self portrait?

The one I took on my birthday?

this one....


Well, the real reason I took it was to enter it into this contest...

I emailed it to Nicole and now my faithful readers can go vote for my picture!

Imagine me saying, "Vote for Katie!" (with an accompanying peace sign).

I know that will win your vote! You have until this Friday at midnight.

am I allowed to vote for myself? i really want to win.

And the winner is...

Mandy who said, "Please enter me." Congratulations Mandy! Woohoo! E-mail me (kjclover09[at]aol[dot]com) your address and I will mail you a pair of super cute earrings! (or drop them off if you live close)

For all the losers people that didn't win, I'm sorry. I used the True Random Number Generator at random.org which claims that they offer "true random numbers" instead of "pseudo-random, which means they are a generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula." The program spit out number 13 for me and Mandy was the 13th person to comment.

But if you are completely distraught and still want some earrings... Visit my shop on Etsy or come over to my place to buy some.

Thanks for participating.

today....

is the last day to enter the give-away!

It's your lucky day.

The winner will be announced here on Tuesday! (as long as I don't forget)
