A G-I-V-E-A-W-A-Y

As promised, I am finally getting to my 1000-blathery-posts-and-you-stuck-with-me-and-I-love-you-guys G-I-V-E-A-W-A-Y post! For your (hopefully) enjoyment, I have selected the following two items from my stash:

A current Hostess Set from SU and a package of some DSP from Sale-A-Bration. Why these two particular items, you might ask? Well, let me see if I can explain ... um ... er ... I was a DIM WIT and ordered the same Hostess set in two consecutive orders. God, I need a keeper.

As for the paper? Well, um, I kept ordering and ordering in Jan/Feb and they kept telling me I'd earned another SAB set, and I already had the ones I wanted, so I got more paper.

Why do you want this paper? Let me show you!

It has houses!

... and MORE houses!

... and CLOUDS!

And because all the papers are double-sided, there are cutie-patootie petite designs on the backs, like this one:

So what could you DO with all this paper? I think they'd make wonderful Housewarming cards, or Welcome Home, or Welcome to the Neighborhood. What? You've never seen ME make anything with these papers? Well, er, that's ... kinda true. But I did open the pack to look at it! I DID! (The winner's pack is still shrink-wrapped, not to worry.)

SO, what do you have to do to win this stuff? All you need to do is answer a question! Easy-peasy. And that question is:

What is one of my pet peeves?

Seriously, you can only name one. Per comment. YOU CAN ENTER MORE THAN ONCE! YOU CAN! I have so many pet peeves, this should be stoopid-easy for my regular readers. For the rest of you - good luck! :)

Please post your entries to THIS POST ONLY. I shall consider all comments entered by 9 pm ET on Saturday, October 2nd. I shall select the winner by a totally unfair and subjective process that has yet to be decided.

So enter early and enter often! Let the games begin!

And thanks for stopping by!

You hate drivers who do not use their turn signals, or as you call them....directionals.

Poor grammar and punctuation. Same here. The commercial wants us to believe that the Internet is making us smarter? Seriously?

You don't like it when people chat so much during card making classes that they don't pay attention to the instructor and the instructor has to repeat the steps ALL OVER AGAIN. :P (Remember the J. McGuire class??)

Well, I mentioned on twitter that you do not enjoy having to call 'un'help desks and speak to non-english speaky speakers with regard to your email or tech issues. (though I did thoroughly enjoy your cautionary tales).

I was going to say all these...especially the spelling thingy going on, makes me cringe. So I will say deep snow as I don't need to win these ab. fab. goodies, I'm too far away. Thanks for all your lovely posts and the time spent making me guffaw out loud...which makes my day. xxx

You've just reminded me about your loathing of overly hot weather.....I'd still like a taster of that. Bloomin' British weather....BAH!!!

People who don't know how to merge into traffic properly. (I loved that 'how to' post by the way)

Kerri Love said...

Here's one of mine but I have a feeling it could be one of yours too.

People who not only speed in school zones but actually pass you when you're going the speed limit. (I live in a small town, these people are in a hurry to go no where, trust me)

MaryBeth said...

I have it!! People who enter contest who neither want nor need the item they are competing for!

Ya...that would be people like me! LOL ;)
