Lucky Enough

A few weeks ago I blogged about how I am not very lucky when it comes to winning things
(not including the time I put a nickel in a slot machine in Reno when I was 19 and then all of a sudden lights and whistles start going off JACK POT, won $250 in nickles - now that's a lot of change. Or the time I put some money on 3 on the roulette table again, under age and WON - so maybe when it comes to things I shouldn't be doing I am lucky??? hmmm won't be sharing that with my daughter any time soon!)
ANYWAY, back to my story I am not very lucky when it comes to entering contests.
(click HERE for post).
Since blogging about it I have entered many a give-a-way on blogs around the blog-o-sphere and have yet to win anything. However, my sister (LOVE HER! and not because she gets me pretty things...) But, saw the post and decided to let me pick out a little necklace just for me and just because.
And it came in the mail TODAY!!! I LOVE it.
Hooray for Good Mail!
I chose the Layers of sentiment... which is one that I had not noticed, but my sister pointed it out. I loved the little feet which made me think of little bare feet on the sand, and then the sample also had Hawaiian names on it, and well that just sealed the deal! Had to have the girls Hawaiian names put on it.

Easy Fun Blog Templates

I MUST give a shout out to this fun new blog I found!!!

Fun for the Hair

Miss M loves pony tails - that is her hair style of choice (well when I do her hair, she lets daddy be much more creative - he's just better at it than I am).
My friend Christine(from the Big Ka Hoo Na and my fellow Hula dancer) was telling me about button pony tail holders.
THEN I came across them on this fun new blog I like. I think I might just have to make some! I need a craft day!

We're BAAACK!

We are HOME from Green Bay. It was a great get-a-way. I love spending time with my Granny, having my girls be with her! I LOVE eating at Krolls! I love spending time with my brother and his family. I LOVE just getting away. However I missed you my bloggy friends. I missed seeing updates of you all and reading your blogs.
Now, excuse me while I go catch up on my 172 - YES 172 e-mails and who knows how many blogs on my Google reader...And when I get my computer back - did I mention that my brother is fixing my computer? WOO-HOO!! When I get it back I will again neglect my household duties and eating and catching up on my Tivo - and just blog away. Unless I feel the need to do another Time Out... which I just might have to - Especially if my sister is coming up to set up my craft room!!!

Hope you all have good weekend!

Posting a comment

I have a little pet peeve about posting comments on blogs when they ask for the security word (or what ever that is) sometimes the letters are so squished together that you can't tell what the letters are. But today, when it asked me to type the letters on I had to smile because these were the letters...

it's kinda how Miss M spells my name right now...

Wedding Pictures

Here are some of the pictures from my sisters wedding - these are from her photographers blog.

Her photographer was super sweet. I think she took great pictures - so if you are looking for a photographer in the Utah area... and she does more than just weddings.
She is also willing to travel~ : )
