Giveaway and Shop Sale

May 1st is the 1 year anniversary of my goods shop!!

So....... I'm going to have a giveaway to celebrate.

I decided to giveaway some of my new items. These are featured on the home page of the lollishops site today.This is a fabulous pack of vintage children's book pages. Each pack has a beautiful original 1953 Dick and Jane page in it. The fonts and illustrations on these pages are wonderful. 3 Yards of this old (probably vintage but I have no way to verify) peachy-pink lace trim.

And last but not least a set of my absolutely favorite 1920's Vintage French Dictionary pages. One lucky winner will recieve all of the items pictured above. Yeah!!! I am also having a Sale in both of my shops in an attempt to try and reach 500 sales in my goods shop. So, I am offering 15% off any order of $20.00 or more until mid. pst 5/1. You can order from both shops and the totals will count together. I will refund you the difference after through paypal or I can lower the price in advance if you convo me before payment. I thought that there was a way to offer a discount code but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Also, if I reach 500 sales by May 1st. in my goods shop then I will add a nice gift card to the giveaway prize.

So, how to enter. Leaving a comment between now and midnight PST on Sat April 30th will count as 1 entry. Posting a blog about the giveaway and then letting me know will count as a second entry, any purchasing from either shop will count as an entry as well. There you have it, 3 ways to enter. Good luck.

Thank you all for being such a huge part of my shops success.

One Amazing Giveaway, and One Amazing Blog

" Oh, hello friend. You are loved..."

Don't you just love that?!! That's what the blog is called. I just discovered it yesterday and I must say that I loved seeing those words on my blog list. It's such a nice affirmation. Kinda silly of me huh? Well, even if you don't add this stunningly stimulating blog to your blog list you should still hop over and enter their amazing (i mean AMAZING) giveaway. Like one of my wonderful fellow bloggers, I've got the "March blues". I'm pushing through it though and should be back to post more frequently soon. Hopefully, this giveaway will brighten all of your days just a little bit.

Have a fabulous day.

The Good and The Not so Good

No, this is not my husband!! But, this post is about my husband.

The good and the bad parts.

First the good:

Last Sunday night my husband took me to see the amazing Harry Connick Jr. in concert for our 21 Anniversary. It was a total surprise, especially with the economy the way it is. But, he was being romantic. How sweet!! This wasn't our first time seeing Harry. Our first time seeing Harry was B.C. (before children) or, 17 years ago. He was at the height of his fame and fabulous. The best concert I'd ever seen. Well, this last Sunday was a special day. First, the super professional Harry delayed the concert 15 minutes because of a football game. Yes, you heard me right. He said he'd never delayed a concert in his life and that he'd been performing since he was 5. It was the New Orleans Saints playing for a spot in the Super Bowl, so it's understandable. Well, lets just say it was probably the best concert I've ever seen. If you ever get the chance to see him live, GO!!!

Now the bad part....

This past weekend, my husband compared me to other women. I don't mean physically.

He said things like: "so and so's husband doesn't have to do this", or
"when I was a kid our house didn't look like this." Ugh!!!

Don't get me wrong, he's usually REALLY supportive and he's the best daddy ever but geez, those were mean things to say!

I thought about what he said and realized why his life wasn't like others.

While I love those women, they don't have any interests except housework. Which is o.k, if that's what you want to do. I'm not judging. Each to his own, I say.

TOTALLY NOT MY THING!!

I told him that he loves me because I have hobbies and interests and am outspoken.

He agreed and apologized.

Lucky for him!! LOL

Hope I didn't bore you too much. I've got lots of swap pictures coming and I'm going to be entering the OWOH (One World One Heart) Giveaway tomorrow and will post a picture of my prize. So stay tuned. :-)

Be-lated Thank You!!

I apparently have become quite the "lucky girl". Maybe it's because I named my store and my blog luckygirlgifts. But, whatever the reason, before I started blogging I was most definitely un-lucky. Well, I have a wonderful husband, healthy children, a nice home, etc. So I am lucky that way. I mean, I've never been able to win anything.

That is until I started blogging.

Look at the latest amazing creation that I was "lucky" enough to win:

Natalea over at Kandeland created this wonderfully wicked witch.

I'm really terrible though. I received it over 2 weeks ago and haven't said Thank you yet.

Thank you Natalea, it is amazing.

Look at all of the layer on the skirt, and of course the glitter.

Fabulous.

I do feel lucky.
