Giveaway May Week 2

The windows are open all over the house and a wonderful cool breeze is blowing through. It's so nice to get some fresh air in here! We'd better get our fill of it today because tonight a storm blows in and tomorrow's high temp might make it to 50 degrees. If we're lucky. Seriously, there's a Winter Storm Warning for much of the state tonight and snow is predicted. Let me just remind you all that it is May 12, not March 12, and I live in Colorado--not Alaska, for pete's sake! I don't mean this to turn into a Complain-About-the-Weather blog, but this is honestly the lousiest excuse for a Spring that I can even remember and I'm just about fed up! I want so badly to get out and plant some flowers and some veggies in my new garden area but I can't for fear that they'll be frozen at best or snowed on at worst. In mid-May, mind you. On the plains of Colorado. Pffffft.

Moving on....what's black and white and red all over?

Why, it's this week's Giveaway May prize! This package includes cute damask-patterned sticky notes and a picture frame, polka-dot note cards, fun ribbon and felt rick-rack, and my new favorite black and white birthday candles. It will all be packed into a sweet velvet vintage-looking handbag. There may also be a few other black and white surprise goodies included! As before, if you'd like to win this Happy Mail, just leave a comment on this post sometime before Friday, May 16 at noon MDT.

My sweet husband made sure I had a wonderful Mother's Day. On Saturday morning he arranged for a babysitter for Maren and took me on a surprise date to the Colorado Chocolate Festival! We had such fun sampling chocolate goodies from the different vendors. Free chocolate--does it get better than that? Then he and Maren gave me a gift of the softest, fluffiest bathrobe. It feels like being wrapped in a fleece baby blanket! I love it and I'm feeling properly spoiled now.

Back tomorrow with a fun yardsale find!
