Time for another giveaway!! Boo!!

One of my favorite all time authors is Stephen King. He has kept me awake many a night unable to put down a scary book. I remember one occasion camping and reading Misery by flashlight in the tent and I had to finish the darn thing. And every sound I heard outside...yikes...I jumped out of my skin!!
And who could forget Cujo....and Thinner and of course Firestarter! The list goes on and on.
So tell me your favorite scary movie, story, poem...anything that has made you feel the hair stand up on the back of your neck! Are you like me and still have to have the shower curtain open an inch or two thanks to the movie Psycho? Oh, how I was traumatized by it.......and the movie The Bad Seed...I still love to watch it at late night. Or are you more of a current move genre like Saw or Final Destination.....wooooo I loved those too!!
I will use my random number picker on Sunday night....and you will win the above Firestarter Movie Collection, which contains the original Firestarter and Firestater 2, Rekindled....just in time for fright night!!!

We have our winners!!

Actually my personal random number picker (in case you haven't been here before it's my hubby) fell asleep before I could catch him...so I had to use a random number generator that I found via Google

And the winners are.................drum roll.......

The winner of the tote is Grandma J

The winner of the measuring cups is Mommyhood is thankless

Thank you everyone for stopping by and leaving such touching stories of your encounters with breast cancer. It is sad that this disease has touched so many people. Unfortunately mostly women.

Thank you everyone.....and check back...I have another giveaway planned for next week!!

Time for another Giveaway!! This one is for MOM

October is National Breast Cancer awareness month...so in honor of my Mom, who I lost in 2000 after a long battle with breast cancer....I am giving away 2 gifts...

One ~~ A bag promoted by Safeway to Support the Cause

Two ~~ A set of Good Cook pink measuring cups

So my sistas (or brothas)....just leave me a comment and let me know if you have been affected by breast cancer in your family (I certainly hope that you haven't, but unfortunately most of us have been been affected directly or indirectly). My random number picker will pick TWO winners on Wednesday evening.

Only one comment per person....but if you blog about this giveaway....I will give you not one, not two...not even three or four....but 5 extra entries.

Let's have fun.....and CHECK YOUR TATAS...IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!!

Please excuse my absence...my head exploded!!

Yep, it happened....my head exploded on Friday.

I guess I should explain....in an effort to try to help my daughter and her husband with child care expenses, I decided that since I was off of work that I would watch the grandkids 3 days a week.
Sounds easy enough....right?? WRONG!!!
With a 4 year old and 2 year old, 3 dogs (who are fighting all the time) and a cat who must stay in the garage or risk being eaten by the visiting bulldog....my household was absolutely crazy!!
Although I successfully raised two daughters to adulthood....wholly-moly...what a difference 20+ years makes in the patience level. This is the reason our eggs dry up at this age....GOD is very, very wise.
My granddaughter bonked my grandson in the head with a sucker (which caused him to cry like a mad man) and my grandson has a fascination with electrical outlets and removing batteries from all remote controls located in the house. Of course all of these things happen as soon as I get a somewhat important phone call that I have to try to talk though.
After that I had a total melt down, and tearfully called my daughter and said I just couldn't do it any more. I love my grandchildren more than anything in the world and I don't want them to think of me as the lunatic grandmother who is constantly yelling at them and putting them on time out. I want to go back to the way it was....they stay over on the weekends...we go to fun places, do crafts, go swimming, camping, fishing..... and grandpa is here to help!!!
I tried, I really did....I hoped to be the grandma that baked cookies while they napped...my home always spotless...gee thoughts of June Cleaver come to mind....oh that's right..she wasn't REAL!
I hand it to all of you that stay at home, home school, nurse babies and still finding time to sew, cook and maintain a blog. YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I wish I knew how you could do it all....

Well, my head has returned to normal....and tomorrow we are gonna have ourselves a giveaway!! Come back tomorrow...ya hear?!!

The Wise and Mighty Random Number Picker has spoken....

I caught the Random Number Picker before he went to sleep and he has chosen number 7......woohoo....quitecontrary1977 you are the winner! (For those of you that are new here the Random Number Picker is my hubby....I just ask "Hey Honey, pick a number between 1 and 8") I haven't figured out how to use the computerized version, but believe me...he is totally random.
Thank you all for stopping in....check back in often..you never know when I might have a giveaway!
I spent the day fishing and I am pooped!!

Time for another giveaway!! Karma baby...I love it!!

As I mentioned yesterday I received an email stating that I won another contest. Woo hoo, yippy skippy!! I love winning stuff and more than that I love giving things away. So this weekend I am giving away a Mary Engelbreit collection of items, these include a magnetic note pad, post-its, a magnet and two sets of raised stickers.
I love Mary Engelbreit items...and these are some cute little goodies!
Again....nothing fancy required. Just leave me a comment...anything...just to let me know you're there!!
No buttons, no links....just honestly...I haven't figured that out yet. And I am not advertising this contest...so let's just see how many show up.
The contest will end tomorrow...Sunday at 6:00 pm.
And I will catch my randon number generator before he falls asleep to pick me a number.
Make sure leave me your email address if you don't have a blog, so that I can contact you.
Everyone have a great weekend....it's rainy here today (finally...we haven't had any rain since March..we need it!!)

It's TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY!! WOOP, WOOP...Brighton Earrings

Well, I have been talking about it for some time....and the time has finally arrived. I am giving away a pair of Brighton Earrings. I am not asking you to link to my blog, or anything like that...because frankly I don't quite understand all of that yet. But just leave me a comment with your email or blog and I will randomly select a winner, and will announce on Monday. So let's say I will take your comments until noon on Monday and select someone Monday evening.
So....this is what they look like

I'm sorry I know this is not a very good picture....but it was the best my camera would do.....and I couldn't find any other pics on the internet.
They are pierced hoops with a beautiful design of hearts and scrolls.I will send them to the winner with the Brighton tin. The design is called Dream Token.
So....you might ask...why am I doing this?? I love to give things away....and because I believe in paying it forward....I won some awesome knives from the Pioneer Woman recently...so I can't think of a better way to pay it forward.
So....please only one entry per person. I will draw the winner at random. And please play nice....back in May before I started a blog I wanted to give away a pair of George Michael concert tickets that I received by attending a Ellen DeGeneres show...I created a post on CraigsList and on Ebay...at the end when I gave them away I had one person that threatened to sue me and several others that wrote me emailss asking why they didn't win....geez
And the one person I chose...I shipped the tickets overnight to and only asked that she send me pictures..I never heard from again....not even to confirm that she received them....I'm guessing she did...fed ex said she signed for them.
Oh well....didn't mean to go off on a tangent there.....sorry bout that...
So let's make this fun....I have alot of other stuff I want to give away so please stay tuned....WOO HOO
