It's Friday! Cheers!! {Another Giveaway!!}

It's Friday! Cheers!!  And to celebrate, I have a sweet giveaway for you, awesome reader, but first you are going to have to suffer through some of my inane chatter and randomness.

1.  This week was B, bananas.  B-A-N-A-N-A-S.  There were field trips, play dates, gymnastics classes (come to think of it, that was all one day . . . ).  Quinn was plagued with a double ear infection that went undiagnosed because I just assumed her crankiness was . . . well, her.  And, to top it all off, I lost my credit card.  Boo!!  Someone pour me a mimosa.

2.  Despite all that, or maybe as an escape because of it, I posted some stuff.

{Gavin Hijacked the Blog}   {Pinterest Tips}  {Sunrise Mimosa}  {Easter Egg Fudge}  {Baby Carrot Truffles}

3.  Last week I read and reviewed the awesome book, I Just Want to Pee Alone.  Did you buy it yet?

Of course if you are the wonderful Julie from Julie's Eats and Treats, you don't have to buy a copy!  Because she's my winner!!

Everyone else, go buy it.  You'll laugh until you pee and fall off your elliptical just like I did.

4.  If you are looking for something else to make you laugh, OMG, Texts from Dog.  It was partially just because I was in desperate need of a laugh this week, but I was reading all of them and crying because I was laughing so hard.  I had to restrain myself from pinning them all to my Humor Me board and overwhelming people following me.

5.  My super awesome cousin gave me the most amazing coffee I think I have ever tasted.  It's from Stone Creek Coffee, and if you like the taste of coffee and the taste of cinnamon and you need a pick me up, you are going to want to order some immediately.

6.  Do any of you follow Alton Brown on Twitter?  I have a confession, I loathe Twitter.  It is super helpful, and sort of important if you want to grow your blog, but I have never found anything that is so effective at making me feel like I'm a technological idiot and completely out of the loop.  I was delaying from getting an account when I heard a rumor that Big Bird Tweets.  Ha!  Okay, has a Twitter account.  I figured if an overgrown puppet can handle it, I can too.

I was wrong.

Anyway, Alton Brown.  He answers questions on Twitter with post it notes attached to his computer screen.  He includes hashtags on said post it notes.  He is my new hero.  Check him out.

And if you want to watch my own fumbles on Twitter, here's where to find me.

7.  Okay, you have suffered enough.  But I promise you it was worth it!

Here's the giveaway!  It's from one of my awesome sponsors, Akula Hope Designs.  She is giving one lucky winner a $35 credit to her Etsy shop.

Recently I ordered a custom necklace for my niece who is going to have her first communion next month.  Carrie is really easy to work with.  She responded to all my questions like . . . immediately.  And I ended up with something that we both loved so much that it's now a listing in her shop!

There are so many things in Carrie's shop that I adore.  I'm actually super bummed that I can't enter this giveaway.  But I guarantee that you will be happy with whatever you get.

And the good news is that all my international peeps can get in on this one too!!

Head over to Carrie's store and tell me what you would use your $35 credit on!

Contest runs until Midnight on 3/28/13!
