Random!

Random Thursday

Tip Junkie is at it again!

I just love Tip Junkie! Laurie has gotten together a HUGE list of stores where you can buy items handmade by women & fellow bloggers. It's called the 2008 Holiday Mom-Preneur Shop-a-thon. I probably won't have enough time to make as many gifts as I'd like, so I'm going to check out some of these shops for gift ideas.

Also, if that wasn't good enough, Laurie is hosting "12 Days of Junkie," where she is hosting giveaways for 12 days. There are 2 chances to win each day. You know how I feel about those giveaways...head on over and check it out!

New Design!

I found this new layout design that I love!

As far as the header, I think it looks a little silly with the giant owl (even though I think it's adorable), but if I take the owl down, people might not understand the meaning of the blog...

I'll be updating the font colors so they go better with the new template, too.

What do you think?

Winners!

I'm sure you're all waiting anxiously to see if you won either of my giveaways! I used random.org to pick the winners, and I went through and carefully counted, getting rid of duplicate and/or deleted entries.

For the first giveaway, the random number generator gave me # 43, so...
The winner of the Vera Bradley slippers is Andrea from Christmas in March!

  I majored in Geography in college. Most people find that interesting although some of my classes sure weren't ;-)

For the second giveaway, the random number generator gave me #47, so...
The winner of the stamp/scrapbook supplies is Deborah from Read. Rave. Review!

  Quilt, knit, crochet, scrapbook, sew, anything I can do with my hands. Grandma always said, "Busy hands are happy hands!"

Be sure to visit both of their blogs! I think that's the best part of the Bloggy Giveaways carnival--checking out new blogs and "meeting" new people.

Congratulations, ladies! I will be emailing both of you to get your mailing info. If I do not hear from the winners within 72 hours, I will draw new winners.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by! I hope you'll come back and visit!
