I WON!!!! … I NEVER WIN!!! BUT I WON!!!

When Mom was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in June of last year I started to search for things to do with Relay in my area. In that search I stumbled across this blog of this amazing lady. So now, I follow Shelley Sprouffske’s blog pretty much every day. She’s a Relayer, a mom, a christian woman and a pretty fantastic photographer as well. Everything I want to be, minus the mom part (no offence).
She’s somewhat of a “Head Honcho” type person in the Relay community and I hope to run into her in a meeting some day just to finally meet the woman who has given me lots of inspriation over the past year.
Last year (if you recall) Shelley lit a luminiaria for my Mom at a Relay event shortly after Mom was diagnosed and before we Relayed.

Well… Now that you know WHO Shelley is, you can appreciate the fact that I WON AN AMAZING PRIZE ON HER BLOG!
She’s celebrating 5 years of Bloggy Goodness and is giving away fun little prizes this week. I won the RELAY give away!
Which Includes…
A CDHOPE Bracelets
Dog Tags (With the HOPE logo)
A Notepad
And other Relay goodies!
I was apprehensive that I would win based on the fact that I was the first person to comment and she uses a random number generator – what are the chances that it will randomly pick One.
Any ways, I came, I commented, and I WON!
Looking forward to getting the prize in the mail in the next few days and sharing my winnings with The HOPE CORPS!
This totally made my day!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
