Lucky Me, I Won!

As I was clicking around the blogosphere the other day the cute little fish button with the "win me!" star next to it caught my eye. I stopped and read a bit, and now I have a fun new (to me) blog to enjoy! I entered the fish button giveaway, and today I found out I won! Another Lucky Day to mark on my calendar!

Toxiferous Designs creates the cutest t-shirts, buttons, bags, and other gifts. Have a peak at the TD Blog, then check out the TD Shop. I love the Darkbirds items, especially this shirt.

A Snifty is Just the Sniftiest Thing Ever

These scarves are really SNIFTY (spiffy + nifty = snifty)! They're 100% lambs wool, infused with hypoallergenic pure essential oils that are embedded into the wool by a unique micro-encapsulation process. Left alone, there's little scent, but slight friction releases a yummy scent. Each scarf is about 8" x 40", plus 3.5" fringe at both ends. They come in 8 color/scent combinations:

Red smells like strawberries
Black smells like cola
Brown smells like chocolate (my favorite!)
Green smells like apples
Orange smells like oranges
Yellow smells like banana
Pink smells like bubble gum
Purple smells like grape (the package says it's supposed to smell like blackcurrant)


I bought a bunch of them on close-out a couple of years ago, and I'm down to my last few dozen. In fact, I only have one or two green scarves left, but more of the others. Perfect for kids of all ages, they make unique and much-talked-about holiday gifts!


I normally sell these for $8 plus $5.95 shipping. Get yours now, before the holiday shopping frenzy starts, and I'll give you 1 free with each 3 you purchase. I'll also charge you only the actual shipping cost, so if you only want one scarf you won't get hit with a big postage charge. (You can go to usps.com and estimate the postage, each scarf is about 7 ounces mailing weight, coming from zip 27713.)


Interested? Send an email to luckygirltrading [at] yahoo.com with the number of scarves you'd like, your color choices, and mailing address. I'll confirm I have the quantities and colors you want, weigh them in a shipping envelope or box, then send you a PayPal invoice. If you feel more comfortable making a purchase through an established e-commerce site, you can get these at my eBay store--but I can't give you any discount there.

Lucky Girl's Happy Birthday Giveaway Winner

Thanks to everyone who entered and was rooting for me in MTMD's Page Rank Olympics. I did not come in last!!!! I did do dreadfully though, so I think that's probably the last contest of that sort I'll attempt for a long while. Or ever.

Figuring out which comments were entries for my birthday giveaway and which were just comments was a bit tricky, and then I discovered that a couple of people commented and entered on my reminder post instead of the original contest post, so that made it even more complicated. I want to be fair and still give entrants the benefit of the doubt if possible, so if you commented on either post and I could find a link to this blog on your blog, I counted you as entered. Here's my list of entrants:

1. Mizé
2. Margaret
3. Designing Hilary
4. Mama Kelly
5. Nessa
6. kristleharrison
7. silverhartgirl
8. iris
9. kat sanders
10. leslie
11. lala
12. Jean Chia aka Ms.Yummy~licious

Congratulations to #6, Kristle at Stir-Crazy!

I am in a holiday sort of gift-giving mood even though it's not even September yet. Check back tomorrow to what fantastic deal I'll be offering next!

Home Sweet Home

After spending what seemed like an eternity on the road, I'm finally home. It was hard to leave that darling grandbaby again!

I'm spending what little is left of my birthday napping (I think the birthdays are starting to catch up with me!), and tomorrow it's back to business as usual. If you haven't entered my Birthday Giveaway yet, there's still a couple of hours left (the link is just below this post), I'm excited about selecting a winner tomorrow!
