New "U-pick" giveaway

Is it Wednesday already - gosh time sure flies when you're having fun. I have been promising you a new giveaway and I have finally got it all set for you. I meant to post earlier but I came home from work and decided to have fun cleaning the bathroom sink first!

I know, I know, I'm a wild and crazy woman, what can I say.
Maybe tomorrow I will clean off my desk, hmmmm then again, that might be more fun than I can stand!
Well this is going to be brief because I have a pan of brownies that are cooling on the counter and someone has to test them.

Now about the new "U-pick" giveaway.....

This time you will be able to choose your giveaway prize. Just like at the U-pick strawberry fields, it's always special when you can select just the right ones. The lucky winner of this giveaway will receive a $40.00 $60.00 "certificate" to spend at any of the 200 CSN online stores on anything you want!
OMG they have so many stores to choose from, I know I could do some real damage to my wallet  in housewares. If you click on the bathroom sink link above it will take you to their bathroom sink selection - go figure - LOL  So go have a look around and start thinking of what you would spend your $40.00  $60.00 prize on.
Now...... to enter in the giveaway post a comment to this blog post (July 14th) and tell me your favorite household chore. A winner will be chosen by the great and powerful random number generator. BTW, You have until August 1st to post your entry - good luck! Sorry, but this giveaway is only available to those living in the USA.

button-button Thursday...just barely

Where did the day go??? I guess I got too wrapped up in designing the cover sheet for my new pattern and then I decided to clean out a couple of cupboards and then watered my plants and made dinner, blah, blah, blah, all of a sudden it's 11:30!!! Oops - Project Runway is on....I'll be back later.
 Never mind it was a rerun. I just love that show. Can you imagine making a designer piece in ONE day!!! Whipping up a Halloween costume in an evening is one thing but WOW it is amazing what they can do in a day. Both good and bad.
Anyway, during this weeks venture into the fabulous magical button bins I found a great assortment of BIG BROWN BUTTONS!

I would imagine that most of these were from warm wooly coats and toasty knitted cardigan sweaters.
I remember that my mom had a black and white check coat with great big buttons on it.
I found another neat looking site for button acquisitions. It's the Button Drawer 
Itt looks like they have a great selection and there is no minimum order. They even have buttons by the pound! Note to Cathi  - they have yellow buttons by the pound!
Well, it's about to be Friday so I'm going to post this.  Hope you've had a good week and have some plans buttoned up for the weekend.
