Le GASP~

Ok Guys. So, here's the deal. I've really gotten into my crafts again, even making things and selling them. Which is pretty awesome. Sad part is that it is what has taken me away from doing nail posts like I want to. That being said...I HAVE A RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME GIVEAWAY PLANNED IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE!!!!

Some of the things you will see? Nail polish, Obviously. But a few other little things. I don't want to give away the big ticket item, but trust me when I say you will love it. It cuts down on your drying time like WOAH! AND I use it at the salon myself.

I'm also looking at how to consolidate this blog and my old crafting blog. Once I figure that out, the giveaway will begin! :D

And then there was a winner.

So...a funny story about this giveaway.

Today I sat down with my mini legal pad and took a tally of all those that entered my giveaway contest. And I have to say, I have been beyond pleased with the outcome. Like, for reals. Every single one of you that entered are beyond amazing and I want to thank you all for not only taking the time to enter, but to share your favorite memories with me. They are truly touching.

Well, once I got the tally, I went about making little slips of paper with everyone's name on them. I was going to use a random number generator, but because I got crazy with the extra entries, I just didn't think that would be very fair for some reason. So, I reverted back to my childhood with door prizes and decided that pulling a name out of a hat was not only going to be more productive, but incredibly fun.

And you know what? It was! :D

So I made slips for every entry (including the extra ones) and threw them all in my roommate's lime green straw cowboy hat. The epicness just never ends.

Now, here's the part that I got back a bit and explain something. For those of you that do not know me...well, I can't spell very well. In fact, I'm pretty rubbish at it. In fact, just a few days ago a close friend of mine was picking at me about it over facebook. But I digress.

As I was writing the names on the slips of paper, I looked down every now and then and would see some extra letters here and there. The only thing I could think of was "Oh, Geeze, I hope that this isn't the one I pull because I will take a picture of it and then the entire world will have more proof of the fact that I can't spell!!"

The universe loves having me as its little play thing.


Yup...You're reading that right. I pulled one of the names that I misspelled. To quote one of my best friends "This is my life. This is my life every time."

Anyways! CONGRATS MISTRESS ZOMBIE! :D You are the winner of the Pink Giveaway! I am super excited for you and I shall be contacting you soon for your address.

THANK YOU AGAIN for everyone that entered the contest. I hope you stick around because there is lots more fun things to see and that will be up for grabs later.

Tis the season for giving...away awesome things!

So, in the process of reading and following so many awesome blogs out there, I've stumbled upon other giveaways. Now, I know this is a fairly regular thing out there in the blogging world...but I love how different each one of the giveaways are. It was nice to see that, while some giveaways were for the same thing, the prizes were different. Anyhoo, here are a list of some of the giveaways that I am entering and that I think some of you might be interested in as well.

SHE LIVES! AND there's a give away!

OH Em GEEE! Last week kicked my TAIL!

I had three midterms in a row, lost my debit card to the monster that lives inside my recliner, FINALLY got the smoke detector that was up in Quasimodo's Belfry to stop chirping after over half a year of dealing with it, and pretended to to domestic things though I mostly sat on my butt and played Bubble Popp on facebook. >.> Don't judge me.

As it is, I haven't really did much in the way of manicures the last few days because I haven't been taking my polishes and tools to school. I have some services I need to focus on getting done so I can be done with semester. BUT I will be doing some Halloween manicures in the near future :D I'm pretty stoked about those.

I also spent my Saturday night trying to organize and catalogue my polishes. In the process I realized I owned entirely too much pink polish. And seeing as how this month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought, Why not? So I'm having a Pink themes give away!

Are you excited? I'm excited.

I think it is fairly safe to say that cancer is so common now a days that it would be hard to find one person that didn't know anyone effected by any form of this disease. That's why it is always important to be knowledgeable and do what you can to prevent as soon as possible. So, in an attempt to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer, I'm doing this give away.

The prize will include:
- 6 bottles of Sally Hansen polishes (from left to right):
- Continuous Treatment - Strength.
- Complete Salon Manicure - Dianthus.
- HD Nail Color - Byte.
- HP Nail Color - LCD
- Diamond Strength - Rose Petals.
- Xtreme Wear - Petite Pink
- NYC Pink glitter lip gloss.
- Pink gerber daisy hair clip made by me.
- Pink button earrings made by me.
- KIss brand nail art stickers of pink flowers.
