I WON!!!

Holy Cow!

I'm so overly excited!!!

I won my first blog contest and I'm so excited!!!

I won an awesome $45 certificate towards CSN Stores!!!

All compliments of Mrs. O at

The Life of a Future Domestic Goddess!!!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Mrs. O!!

Here's my dilemma:

I have NO idea what to get!

I love shabby chic, ruffly, teal & chartreuse, burlap

and everything rustic & antique!

So, what do I get?

I love to cook, my Bullie baby girl Weezer, urns,

enamelware, ironstone....

BUT

I really don't *NEED* anything.

SOOOOOO...

I'm thinking that it could be awesome

to get my sweet Mommy a gift.

( my cute Mama on her birthday )

See, I've been unemployed for 9 months now.

My mom has been so helpful during this scary time.

My car needed to be fixed - she paid for half of it.

I needed some new bras - she took me to Victoria's Secret.

I needed some makeup - she took me to Nordstorm.

( me and my cute Granny )

She takes me to see my recently widowed Grandma

every other weekend.

And she's my bestest friend in the whole wide world!

When it was her birthday in October I didn't really have

any cash to buy her a gift.

We did get to spend the day together,

which was the best gift of all.

But I want to do something to say

Thank You and a belated Happy Birthday.

I think that's just what I might have to do.

Thank You again Mrs. O.

For giving me a way to give back to my awesome Mommy!!
