Giveaway Glee

Big B thinks I'm crazy. Crazy about giveaways! I enter every good one I come across - and some that I don't even care for. It's like playing the lottery for cheapies like me.

Crazy I might be, but I finally won something - a snazzy something at that! I had gotten quite used to not winning. So used to it that when I read that the winner of the Ruffle Rumba Skirt and the Double Ruffle Knot Top pdf patterns from Little Lizard King (giveaway by luvinthemommyhood ) called herself Cupcake my only reaction was how neat it was to see my name. MY NAME?!! Hold your horses now - could this mean... I won!! Oh the excitement. Until I realized the winner had been announced a week earlier. Man was that short lived. I hurried to my inbox in hopes of finding an overlooked congratulations. Sure 'nuf right smack dab in a big pile of spam. Poor, poor patterns... I replied as fast as my tiny fingers could type and to my delight the patterns were indeed still mine! All mine! - Well not all mine, mine and all of the non-cheapies out there who simply bought the pattern's. But, none-the-less mine! I love free goodies, especially the won assortment. They are the best. Now to print these bad boys out and get scootin' to my fabric stash. Maddy Grace is soon to be a Ruffled Dream in her new skirt and top.

Hello world. Well, blog world that is...

Finally, I am no longer part of the 3% of the population remaining blog-less. I'd bet my bottom dollar that those last 3% will only stay dormant long enough to manage a descent introduction. I'm lacking in descent, but blog-less I could no longer be.



My intentions are to create a compilation of all the random thoughts, endless ideas, minimal actions, occasional gripes and raves that see their way into and out of me. Along with captured moments and sweet memories of my two true loves and our eccentric life I hope to smash all of this into semi-regular public posts. I have yet again fallen in defeat to a constant need to express my every thought. The final frontier of this chatter-box: text. (Ears around the world sigh with relief.)



I am constantly in a state of limbo with my various projects. I have a severe compulsion to create, but almost none to complete. I am, however working on this mild character flaw. I am a borderline hoarder. Anything I think I might could use for future snazziness, I keep. Everything else, I let go of or lose track of. I don't consider myself to be any sort of amazing at anything. Other than occasionally emulating a ray of sunlight. I have been told that this I can do. For every second I spend thinking of something I want to created I spend a hundred trying to convince my family not to destroy. I'm short straw in our house. Not complaining - my two guys are the bees knees. Except for the fact that they hate things such as "bees knees". Well, Big B does and Little B follows along with anything Big B does. So no, they are not the bees knees. They're just, well they're just mine.



Until someone comes along to share in my virtual jabber I will enjoy this outlet for myself. Hopefully that will be short lived.



Love love love,

-Cupcake
