November 10, 2007
If you are anything like everyone I’ve ever met in my whole life, you like getting stuff for free. Luckily, I know where to get it:
-Over at Shrek + Fiona, you can win a bath and body gift set with a custom complete with a one-of-a-kind fragrance.
-You can win a $20 gift certificate to Bajio’s from Tyler’s Triumph. Mmmmm, sabroso.
-Memarie Lane is offering a piece of very pretty handsculpted jewelry. iMuy lindo!
-And finally, yours truly is offering a chance for you to win an assortment of international (and domestic) candy! You’re right, it’s the best prize offered on this blog! Enter to win here.
In other news, Summer, the lovely author of Summer’s Nook presented me with my very first bloggy award!
She awarded it to me under category of creativity, which, is very flattering considering I adore all things creative. Thank you, Summer!
I’m still pretty new to the blog world, but from what I have observed, I get to pass along the warm fuzzies by holding my own awards ceremony. Well, since I got the award for creativity, I thought I’d also give the awards out for blog creativity. (Also, I thought I’d have some fun, and exercise my creativity by making my own awards.)
The first two awards are for Visual Creativity:
Cristi of “The Mrs. Formerly Known as Mustard” and McKenna from “Shrek + Fiona” are both very deserving of the “good eye” award.
Cristi was a film major who minored in photography/art/design. The photos on her blog are just beautiful! It doesn’t stop there though, check out this recent post. (Also, I’ve noticed that I have a craving for pumpkin pie whenever I go over there as of late. Mmmmm.)
McKenna recently redesigned her blog (even though it already looked good). But now it’s even better. She’s a graphic designer AND she started her own fragrance company. (Also she get extra points for her husband’s halloween costume.)
The other award is for Culinary Creativity:
Summer of Summer’s Nook is sooo deserving of this award. She shares her delicious recipes, cooking tips, and makes wonderful cakes. However, these aren’t your typical decorated cakes as you can see from the photo below. (Don’t forget to check out her handmade jewelry, too!)
Congratulations, my creative friends!
!!! Thank you so much! My first award ever. And awesome job on the award logos. I heart them. So now do I get to give the Good Eye award to someone else? You never know… your awards could become very viral!
Awww, thanks! Yeah, pass it along! It’s fun to have an awards ceremony, and you’re right, it would be fun to see how far it goes! (Well, you don’t have to either, you can do whatever you want with it.)
Sorry I’m commenting late. Thank you for the mucho cute blog award!
AHHHHH!!! I won something?! I never win ANYTHING!!!! Thank you! I feel so honored. Man, I wish I could whip up a design/logo like that! You deserve your own award! Wow, maybe today will be a good day….
