First; I’d like to remind you, again, about the contest I’m holding. You can read about it here; Win a handbag. The winner will have the chance to choose between the pink and brown page featured here, or the black and white bag (with the flower on the front) featured in the contest information.

Second; Jess, my lovely friend from back home, is running a contest too. Those who enter have a chance at winning an 8oz soy candle, created by Jess herself. She has some of the best scents out there, plus it’s soy. For those who aren’t familiar with soy candles - the burn longer and cleaner, and the scents are stronger. The winner will also get the choice of selecting their favorite scent from the selection of scents that she has available. In other words, the candle is made just for you. If you’d like to learn more about Jess’ contest or enter for a chance to win the soy candle, check out the contest details here; Soy candle giveaway. Hurry now though, the contest ends on April 1st. If you don’t win this time, no worries. She will feature a candle every month, in a contest, from here on out!

I’ve been dealing with a headache for three straight days. It’s unlike any headache I’ve ever had in my life. It’s moving from just above my left eye to just above my right eye. Jo said it’s the “marbles moving around”, and I couldn’t help but laugh though it hurt. I finally gave in and took something for it late last night, which did ease the pain for a couple of hours but soon thereafter, it was back full force. I really hoped that when I woke up this morning it would be nothing more than a memory but unfortunately, it’s still there. Both my mother and father in law have been suffering from headaches today too - weird. I think I just need a pick me up via Tim Horton’s. Ha,ha.

Anywho, this explains why I haven’t been around very much these last couple of days. I doubt I’ll be around much this evening either, American Idol comes on tonight - it’s elimination night and I really hope that Kristy Lee Cook will be the one to say bye-bye tonight. No offense to the girl, she sings better than I ever could but she’s by far the worst of the final 10 (IMO). Of course as long as they keep Michael Johns and David Cook, I’m A-OK with it. These two guys rock.

I think I’ll go medicate this headache now. By the way, just a reminder; don’t forget about the handbag contest I’m running.

EDIT; Minor adjustment. The contest is for the pink floral half moon bag, but since a few people have contacted me about the black and white one, I went ahead and bought it too. The winner will have the option for the pink bag or the black and white one. I’ll keep the other for myself!

When I first stumbled onto Patti’s etsy shop, I just knew I had to buy one of her half moon handbags for my new contest. I absolutely love their unique style and the patterns she chose for them. The bag I selected speaks “Spring and Summer” to me and I wanted to make sure that whatever bag I picked out would be perfect for Spring and Summer. Below you will see a couple of examples of the handbags for sale in her shop, and get an idea of what you have to look forward to in this contest!

As for the contest, here are the requirements:

Teresa is holding a new contest over at her personal blog. Those entering have a chance at winning a lovely and uniquely designed half moon handbag by Patti. Teresa is also willing to ship the prize anywhere, so no matter where you live you can participate.

So, are you wondering what you have a chance at winning? I thought so!

This contest will run from today, March 22nd until Sunday, March 30th with a deadline time of 11:59PM EST (comments will be turned off at this time). I will announce the winner on March 31st.

Good luck everyone!

Did someone say handbags? Yep, me.

Stay tuned for the details about my new contest. I’m hoping to announce it before the weekend. In case the title of this entry doesn’t give it away, the prize will be an adorable handbag.

Speaking of handbags; I’m thinking about going through my own collection and getting rid of a few. I’m not sure if I’ll put them on ebay or if I’ll just give them away (the receiver will pay shipping, which should be cheap). The only bag I’m not getting rid of when I do this is the Wizard of Oz bag my mom gave me for Christmas. I love it to bits and because of my love for it, I haven’t even used the dang thing yet.

That being said, it’s almost time for Survivor. I think I remember seeing something about it being aired today instead of tomorrow. Is that right?

Sorry about the delay in posting the winner. I’ve been in and out all day with very little time to sit down and do anything involving the internet. I’ve also been waiting on my camera battery to charge, which it’s still doing at this moment. I am, however, going to announce the winner of my contest anyway.. before I head off to bed.

Congratulations to Krissi from krississippi.com. I will be contacting you via email tomorrow, regarding shipment of your prize.

Thank you to everyone who participated. To those who didn’t win, no worries. I’ll be holding a new contest shortly!
