Do you see what I see? Said the ..................

Again - on Craigs List - at this point I don't even need to use my imagination - this looks like DIY GOLD to me!

They don't have to stage it - or clean it up - or do anything except what they did - take a photo with tons of crap on top of it - and all I see is French Provincial - and curves - and loveliness

it comes with 4 chairs - tattered and in pretty rough shape but I've been dying to try out dropcloth as seat cushions which everyone seems to be doing - and it has a leaf - AND IT'S MINE - picking it up later today!

Suzan says - John do you think we can pick up a table and 4 chairs?
John says - I thought you were going to finish what you have in storage before buying anything else?
Suzan says - But these opportunities don't come around often
John says - Do you have a picture of it?
Suzan says - I don't want to show you the photo
John says - Well here's the deal Suzan, I NEED to see a photo to see if it'll fit in the car
Suzan says - FINE, but just look at the table - try to disregard everything else in the photo

and I show him the photo and wait - because I know without a doubt what's coming next

John says - You've got to be kidding me!
Suzan says - I knew you'd say that - but look at how gorgeous the table itself is
John says - I can't SEE a table
Suzan says - Look at the legs
John says - I can't SEE the legs
Suzan says - Look at the chair
John says - I can't SEE the chair
John says - How on earth can you SEE anything from this photo
Suzan says - Trust me on this one John - just trust me
John says - OK - but this is the last one until you finish everything else you've bought to redo
Suzan says - I promise.

500 followers and A Sponsored Give Away!!!

500 followers!
What a humbling number in my little world - and thrilling beyond belief.
AND finally I have a sponsored give away so I don't have to run out shopping and tormenting myself with finding the " right " gifts - AND I don't even have to ship this out - AND it's such a great giveaway -
oh blogging life is getting good lol
So let's get on with the story behind this giveaway..........................

I. AM. NOT. COMPUTER. SAVVY.

I want to make sure everyone understands that - when it comes to technology I'm not the brightest chip on the circuit board - as I've mentioned many times, I struggled with every single step of the learning process when I first began blogging -and because I don't want to keep going on about how stupid I am every 3 or 4 posts I'm just going to leave it at that ( I'm only stupid with computers - I'm like the female Einstein with absolutely everything else lol - just take my word on that one, no tests please )

So when My Memories Suite contacted me to ask if I would like to host a give away for their product - I actually giggled to myself - thinking " these people have no idea who they're talking to here "
When they assured me that it was easy - ( like everyone told me blogging was ) I giggled to myself again.
So it was with a little trepidation that I went to visit their site and guess what?  I was hooked from the get go - really - I played for hours on it ( warning: quite addictive for us creative types ) AND IT WAS EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you gotta believe me everyone - when I say it was easy, I don't say that lightly!!!

There are different packages available - I picked the wedding package ( because as you know one of my daughters is getting married next summer )

Care to see what this computer wiz I created?

and then I did this

ME - I DID IT - SUZAN'S CREATION!!!!

and I couldn't wait for Lindsay to come over and see it -

Mom says - I can't wait to show you what I made for you Lindsay
Lindsay says - oh, that's nice I guess
Mom says - crestfallen - Oh, you're not crazy about it?
Lindsay says - It's not really my style Mom
Lindsay says - Can I play with it for a bit?
Mom says - But of course you can sweetheart - it's all yours
Mom says - But please try to keep it normal
Lindsay says - You spelled my name wrong
Mom says - No - I did not - that is what I named you - that's what on your birth certificate
Lindsay says - I've been spelling it LINZ for 20 years - you have to accept it
Mom says - No - I don't have to accept that at all
Lindsay says - and btw - we're getting married on the 23th of June - just for your information
Mom says - Why are you always hammering me with details???????????????

Here's LINDSAY's creations

Mom says - I think I like mine better
Lindsay says - sarcastically - I'll keep that in mind
Mom says - Don't you want it to be elegant and sophisticated?
Lindsay says - No, not at all actually - that's what YOU want
Lindsay says - If you fight me on this I swear Mom - I'll use this photo

Mom says - Actually I really like the 2 elephants -

Dear God - this child of mine is going to kill me before the wedding even takes place.....................

ANYWAYS.................................

She played on the site for as long as I did and LOVED it - she can do her save the dates, her invitations, candle wraps - place cards - just about anything to do with paper or photos that she wants - it's really a fun fun program.

SO WHO'S UP TO WINNING ONE?
Just go visit My Memories.com and let me know which one you prefer - that's it -
I wish I could give everyone one of these - really - that's how much I loved it - but I can only choose 1 winner ( I'll use random.org again ) BUT if anyone is interested in purchasing one of these you can click on
the banner on the top right hand side of my blog - be sure to copy and paste the code I provide for a 10.00 rebate!
Would love to have you follow me - but it's not a condition :)

Think I'm going to play over there for awhile again,  Stay tuned for another awesome give away on Wednesday!!!
Big Hugs, to everyone of you
