Weekend Wordle/SWS

(join Shannon to join in the fun)


Babysitting for two sleeping boys...ahhhh.

Yeah. They are adorable and sweet and I even elicited big huge giggles out of the 4 month old earlier this evening...but now they are in bed and *I* am catching up on blogging and the last couple of Medium episodes.

Last night I sang in the backup choir for a friend of mine from college. Her name is Timbre and she is an incredible harpist and singer. Visit her page to hear an example! It was a blast and I was amazed at the talent in the room! She and her 3 siblings are a complete musical powerhouse. Even Anthony was blown away. The bonus was tht she set up a "non consumerism" holiday shop and had local artisans bring in their stuff to sell. It was the first time I've ever had a chance to sell my stuff outside of word-of-mouth or my Etsy shop. Since I had to sing part of the show, my friend Mattie agreed to sit behind my table and sell for me. We arranged a barter--she gets free jewelry :)

One of my faorite professors from college is actually my Timbre's father, so he was there. On my way out he asked if I was still singing. I told him "church" and he kind of shook his head and said "well, maybe tonight will inspire you to do more out there?"

Flattering. Something to think about.

Ok...off to be creeped out by more Medium!

ps...speaking of that Etsy shop, visit it in the next couple of days--new stuff will be posted soon!

pps...I finally gave up on this week's Thursday's Ten. I had forgotten that my camera was out of battery, and had to charge it up Thursday evening. So we'll combine ornament pics with this week's...Christmas traditions/memories. They kind of go hand in hand anyway. Sound ok? All right...

Bring on the goosebumps!

WINNERS!!!

Thank you for all the fabulous entries! Here are the winners of the earrings from my giveaway last week...thank goodness for random.org, because I would have had a VERY hard time drawing a name out of a hat for this one :) I was pretty meticulous at getting everyone's "extra" entries put in...

Cathy
SnarkyA

I'll be contacting both of you within the next few minutes!

Also, since there was SUCH an overwhelming response to this giveaway, I've selected 2 other winners. These people will be able to choose from the Allegra earrings, or choose another pair of earrings from my etsy shop.

All-American Preppy
Shanda

Thanks everyone! I'll be listing another giveaway soon...this was fun!

OH...but it's not over. If you buy something from my etsy shop and mention THIS POST in your seller notes, you will receive 25% off your order. Just wait for an adjusted bill from me...don't pay right away.

SITS Spring Fling Day!

All righty. So I'm new to this whole giveaway thing, but I think I have the general idea down. Here's the deal...

1 entry = 1 comment
extra entry = ask me a question for my 100th post on this post
extra entry = become a follower (or already be a follower!)

If you would like to just get something free without worrying about entering, just go to my etsy store anytime between now and March 17 (St Patrick's Day!) and make a purchase. I have recently reopened, so the store looks a bit bare at the moment, but should be much more full by the weekend! Mention in seller comments that you saw this offer on my blog, and tell me which pair of earrings from this blog OR item ($10 or less) in my store you would like...it's yours!
(Guess the link would help: http://www.lorastudio.etsy.com)

There will be 2 winners drawn--one for the red square earrings, one for the allegra earrings. If you have a clear preference (ie, don't want one, but like the others) please specify that in your comment and I will only put your name in that specific drawing.

Without further ado...

Red Square

Allegra


Oh yeah--you don't have to be a member of SITS to win. Enter away!
Giveaway ends this Sunday, winner will be announced by Tuesday (March 17th). Good luck!
